If no incoming signal is received in step s302, the process waits as it is. If received in step s302, a received signal process is performed (step s304). If no received process is performed in step s304, the process waits until the received process is performed or no incoming signal is received. If the zoom switch 60 is pressed in step s305, zooming is performed by driving the motor 140 at a lower speed than in the manner mode operation in step s306. In the drive system shown in FIG. 3, the eccentric weight 160 also rotates and vibrates due to the rotation of the motor 140.

As in the first embodiment, the lens barrel 159 has a cam groove (not shown) formed on the inner wall, and the lens moves in the optical axis direction by rotation to perform zooming. Accordingly, since the zoom operation in this embodiment is performed by rotating the motor 140 in one direction, the operation of wide → tele → wide is repeated when the zoom switch is kept pressed.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the portable mobile communication device with an electronic camera of the present embodiment having the configuration shown in FIG. Since the flow of FIG. 6 is almost the same as the flow of FIG. 4, only the operation different from the flow of FIG. 4 will be described. If the zoom switch 60 is turned on in step s215, the zoom operation is performed by driving the motor 140 in the second rotation direction. When the zoom operation ends, the process waits until the release switch 62 is turned on in step s217. When the release switch 62 is turned on in step s217, the series of image recording processes described above are performed in step s218, and the sequence ends.

  If the image shooting mode is not selected in step 211, it is determined in step s221 whether the manner mode is selected. If the incoming signal is received in step s222 in the manner mode, the motor 140 is driven in the first rotation direction in step s222 to cause the device to vibrate. Thereafter, in step s224, the motor 140 is rotated until reception processing is performed or no incoming signal is received. If no incoming signal is received in step s224, the incoming call waiting state is entered.

  If the image shooting mode is selected and the manner mode is also selected, although not in the flow of FIG. 6, the incoming call is displayed on the monitor 28, and the process waits until reception processing is performed or no incoming signal is received.

A tension spring 164 is hung on the lever 163, and the other end of the spring 164 is hung on a spring hook 1d formed on the main body. The lever 163 is always urged toward the gear 155 by the spring 164. As the hinge rotating portion 3a rotates, the wire 165 is wound or loosened, and the lever 163 slides. At this time, it is desirable to detect the position of the lever 163 with a sensor or the like to determine whether the lever 163 has slid reliably. This detection signal can also be used to detect the open / close state of the apparatus.

  When the device is open, the tip 163a of the lever 163 pushes the tip 156a of the planetary arm, the planetary gear 155 engages with the gear 157, and zoom operation is possible. Since the lever 163 is always urged toward the gear 157 by the spring 164, the connection is not released regardless of which direction the motor 140 rotates.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the portable mobile communication device with an electronic camera of the present embodiment having the configuration shown in FIGS.

  In step s401, it is determined whether or not the folded state. If it is in the folded state at step s401, it waits until an incoming signal is received at step s402. If the incoming signal is received in step s402 and the manner mode is selected in step s403, the motor 140 is driven (step s404) to vibrate the apparatus, and the reception process is performed in step s405 or the incoming signal is received. The motor 140 is rotated until it does not come.

  If the manner mode is not selected in step s403, a ring tone is displayed in step s411, and a ring tone is played until reception processing is performed in step s412 or no incoming signal is received.

  If it is determined in step s401 that the device is open, and the manner mode is not selected in step s421, and an incoming signal is received in step s422, the incoming call tone is displayed and the incoming call is displayed on the monitor screen in step s423. To do. Thereafter, the display is continued until reception processing is performed in step s424 or no incoming signal is received. When the manner mode is selected in step s421, if an incoming signal is received in step s431, an incoming call is displayed on the monitor in step s432, and reception processing is performed in step s424 or an incoming signal is received. Continue displaying until it runs out. If no incoming signal has been received in steps s421 and s431, the process waits until an incoming signal or an operation signal such as a zoom switch is received.

  When the zoom switch 60 is turned on in step s425, the motor 140 is driven to perform zooming (step s426). When the zoom operation ends, the process waits until the release switch 62 is turned on in step s427. When the release switch 62 is turned on in step s427, the series of image recording processes described above are performed in step s428, and the sequence ends.

  In this embodiment, the power of the actuator is switched between vibration and zoom driving in the manner mode by opening and closing the device, but this is not a limitation. For example, when the device is opened and closed, the antenna is moved forward and backward by the actuator. Or the lens barrier may be opened and closed.
