Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile phone having a camera function.

  Currently, various secondary functions are added to mobile phones. For example, if a mobile phone having a camera function is used, it is very convenient because a friend or himself can be recorded as a still image or a moving image, and the recorded image can be transmitted to another mobile phone. .

  Patent Document 1 states that “a portable unit in which an operation unit having an operation button on one side surface and a display unit having a display screen on one side surface are connected to the operation unit via a connecting member (hinge structure) in a foldable manner. In the telephone, there is described a “mobile phone in which the display unit is rotatable through a central axis”. An object of the invention described in Patent Document 1 is to allow a display screen to be folded outward even when the mobile phone is not used so that a favorite display screen can always be seen. .

  Thus, the central shaft formed in the connecting member has a slit in the axial direction from the end surface of the conical large-diameter head, and has a function of elastic deformation and elastic return by the material itself, and the head The part is fitted into a fitting hole formed in the inner end part of the casing forming the display part. Since the head of the central axis has an engaging claw on the peripheral wall, the display unit does not come off even if the display unit is inverted 180 degrees when folded.

  As described above, even if the connecting member (hinge structure) of Patent Document 1 is simple and reasonable, the object of the invention is only to make a favorite display screen always visible. Secondary functions (camera function, game function, etc.) other than the primary function (communication function) cannot be fully exhibited.

On the other hand, in Patent Document 2, “a match box-shaped display unit having a display screen on one side upper surface, and a pull-out and push-in device provided on the display unit via a male / female guide means, Describes a box-type mobile phone including a case-like operation unit having operation buttons. Although patent document 2 has the fault that there is some thickness, since it can push in the operation part which has button type switch groups (operation button), such as a numeric keypad, when not using, and a display part can be stored in a case, There is an advantage that there is no fear of mechanical breakage. However, since Patent Document 2 merely moves the operation unit forward and backward from the housing of the display unit, as in Patent Document 1, secondary functions (camera function, game function, etc.) can be sufficiently exhibited. It is not a thing.

On the other hand, the slide connecting means 22 positioned above slides on the upper side in the storage box 4 via guide means (vertical slits 24, engaging pins 22a, etc.). The upper and lower slide coupling means 22 (positioned on the left and right depending on the drawing) are long guide pieces having a predetermined size, and are formed on both left and right inner walls of the horizontally long openings 5 and 6 of the storage box 4 respectively. A pair of left and right engaging pins 22a, 22a that are respectively locked to the stopper portions are provided.

  Further, click springs 26 are wound around the central shaft 23, respectively. The lower click spring 26 constantly urges the operation unit 7 (housing 9) to the outer wall surface side of the slide connecting means 22, while the upper click spring 26 serves as the secondary functional unit 15 (housing 17). ) Is always urged toward the outer wall surface of the slide connecting means 22. Therefore, in this embodiment, the positioning small recesses (engaged portions) 30 are formed on the left and right sides of the outer wall surface of each slide connecting means 22, while the small recesses 30 are alternately engaged and disengaged. The small protrusions (engagement portions) 31 to be provided are provided on the opposing surfaces (inner wall surfaces) of the housings 9 and 17, respectively.

  By the way, each central shaft 23 is fitted in a fitting portion (for example, a fitting small hole) formed in the central portion of the opposing surfaces (inner wall surfaces) of the housings 9 and 17. Each central shaft 23 has a slit in the axial direction from the end face of the conical large-diameter head, and has a function of elastic deformation and elastic return by the material itself, and the head forms a display unit. When the housings 9 and 17 are fitted into the fitting holes, the engaging claws formed so as to protrude from the peripheral wall engage with the peripheral edge of the fitting hole, so that they are not easily detached from the slide connecting means 22.

(7) “Camera function” and “Game function”
FIG. 10 shows an example of use in the case of a camera function. As shown in FIG. 10, when the telephone X is used as the “camera function”, at least the secondary function unit 15 is pulled out. FIG. 10 shows a state in which both the secondary function unit 15 and the operation unit 7 are pulled out and “self-photographing” is performed (the same applies to the confirmation after photographing).

  Therefore, in general, when photographing a subject, the secondary function unit 15 is picked up with a finger and inverted by “180 degrees”. Then, the shutter 20 can be pressed while confirming the subject P in the line-of-sight direction on the display screen 2 in the inverted state.

  By the way, in the present invention, there is another reason for inversion. That is when the telephone X is used as a “game function”. In this case, as shown in FIG. 10, both the secondary function unit 15 and the operation unit 7 are both pulled out, and each operation unit 7 is picked with a finger and inverted by “180 degrees”. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, game operation buttons, game ON, OF power switch, and the like appear on the upper surfaces of the secondary function unit 15 and the operation unit 7.

  Accordingly, reference numeral 35 denotes a game power ON / OF switch provided on the secondary function unit 15 side, and this power switch 35 is provided separately and independently from the camera power switch 19 in this embodiment. .

  Reference numeral 36 denotes an operation button for enjoying the game. In this embodiment, the operation button 36 is provided symmetrically to each of the secondary function unit 15 and the operation unit 7.

  By the way, the control unit of the telephone X can display the display screen 2 in a vertical mode when used as a “camera function”, and can display the display screen 2 in a horizontal mode when used as a game machine. It is controlled as appropriate. Since the control method of the display screen 2 is not a limiting requirement of the present invention, a detailed description thereof is omitted. However, when the camera power switch 19 is operated to the “ON” state, the “camera function” is obtained. When the switch 35 is operated to the “ON” state, it becomes a “game function” (switching function).

  In the example (first example) shown in the embodiment of the invention, the operation unit 7 is reversed and the game-specific operation button 36 is provided on the upper surface of the operation unit 7 according to the present invention. It is not a requirement. This is because the game exclusive operation button 36 can be substituted for the main body operation button 3 and / or the operation button 8 of the housing 1.

  In the present embodiment, when enjoying the game on the telephone X, the game dedicated button 36 is provided in at least the secondary function unit 15 in order to improve operability, add a dedicated button, add an auxiliary screen, and the like. Just do it.
