A hub includes a main body including a communication circuitry configured to wirelessly communicate with another device and a cover housing coupled to a top portion of the main body, the cover housing including a sidewall that extends in a vertical direction and a partition extending from an inner surface of the sidewall to divide an inside of the sidewall into upper and lower regions. The hub further includes a display panel positioned in the cover housing, the display panel providing a visual output; and a display Printed Circuit Board (PCB) positioned on the partition, the display panel being positioned on an upper surface of the display PCB. The cover housing further includes a rib protruding upward from the partition, the rib extending through a gap between the display PCB and the sidewall to contact with a periphery of the display panel.

1. A hub comprising: a main body including communication circuitry configured to wirelessly communicate with another device; a cover housing coupled to a top portion of the main body, the cover housing including a sidewall that extends in a vertical direction and a partition extending from an inner surface of the sidewall to divide an inside of the sidewall into upper and lower regions; a display Printed Circuit Board (PCB) positioned on the partition; and a display panel providing a visual output, the display panel being positioned on an upper surface of the display PCB, in the cover housing, wherein the cover housing further includes a rib protruding upward from the partition, the rib extending through a gap between the display PCB and the sidewall to contact with a periphery of the display panel; and wherein the cover housing further includes another rib protruding upward from the partition, the another rib passing through one of four regions divided by arm portions of the display PCB and contacting a periphery of the display PCB. 2. The hub according to claim 1, wherein the display PCB includes the arm portions extending forward, rearward, leftward and rightward from a central portion of the display PCB, and wherein the rib passes through any one of four regions divided by the arm portions. 3. The hub according to claim 2, wherein the display panel has a rectangular shape, and wherein the rib includes a plurality of ribs, one of the ribs coming into contact with a first side of the display panel, and another one of the ribs coming into contact with a second side of the display panel that is parallel to the first side of the display panel. 4. The hub according to claim 3, wherein another of the ribs contacts a third side of the display panel that connects the first side and the second side. 5. The hub according to claim 3, wherein the display panel is oriented so that the first side extends in a left-to-right direction. 6. The hub according to claim 3, wherein the rib contacting the first side of the display panel and the other rib contacting the second side of the display panel pass through different regions among the four regions divided by the arm portions. 7. The hub according to claim 1, further comprising: a window support disposed above the display panel in the cover housing, the window support including a window support plate provided with an opening exposing at least a portion of the display panel and at least one support boss protruding downward from the window support plate so as to be coupled to the partition, the at least one support boss spacing the window support plate from the display PCB; anda window formed of a transparent material, the window being disposed on an upper surface of the window support plate in the cover housing to cover the opening,wherein one of the at least one support boss passes through any one of four regions divided by arm portions of the display PCB and is coupled to the partition. 8. The hub according to claim 7, wherein the display PCB has a through-hole, and wherein one of the at least one support boss passes through the through-hole. 9. The hub according to claim 7, wherein the cover housing further includes at least one insertion boss protruding downward from the partition to receive the at least one support boss, respectively. 10. The hub according to claim 9, further including contact switches provided in the arm portions, respectively, and wherein the contact switches are positioned in front, rear, left and right areas about the display PCB. 11. The hub according to claim 10, wherein the contact switches are symmetrically positioned about the display PCB. 12. The hub according to claim 1, wherein the partition includes an opening, to receive a wire connecting the display PCB to a main PCB positioned below the partition. 13. The hub according to claim 1, further comprising: a window formed of a transparent material, the window being disposed at an incline and above the display panel, wherein the display panel is positioned in parallel with the inclined window by the partition. 14. The hub according to claim 13, wherein the partition is extends parallel to the inclined window. 15. The hub according to claim 13, further comprising: a window support disposed above the display panel in the cover housing, the window support including a window support plate provided with an opening exposing at least a portion of the display panel,wherein contact switches are provided on the upper surface of the display PCB, andwherein the window support includes protrusions extending downward from the window support plate at respective positions corresponding to the contact switches. 16. The hub according to claim 13, wherein pressure applied on the window support plate through the window activates one or more of the contact switches. 17. The hub according to claim 1, wherein the display PCB is coupled to near-field communication (NFC) circuitry configured to exchange NFC signals with another device with a prescribed distance or contacting the hub. 18. The hub according to claim 1, wherein the display PCB further includes volume adjustment switches, and wherein one or more buttons extend through the cover housing to selectively activate the volume adjustment switches. 19. The hub according to claim 18, wherein the one or more buttons include protrusion that extend from a side of the button to prevent the buttons from being separated from the cover housing.
