The operation of the image sensor 34 includes photographing an image, and the operation of the light emitting unit 37 includes light emission.

  The CPU 22 executes processing based on programs (for example, operating system programs, application programs, etc.) stored in the memory 24. The CPU 22 is constituted by, for example, a microprocessor unit (MPU: Micro Processor Unit), and executes various processes of the above-described portable electronic device 1 according to procedures instructed by the software. That is, the CPU 22 sequentially reads instruction codes from an operating system program, application program, or the like stored in the memory 24 and executes processing.

  The CPU 22 has a function of executing a plurality of application programs. Application programs executed by the CPU 22 include, for example, a shooting application program that takes an image with an image sensor, a crime prevention application program that performs a set operation when a signal notifying an emergency situation is detected, a game application program that operates various games, and the like. There are multiple application programs.

  The memory 24 stores software and data used for processing by the CPU 22, and stores the above-described shooting task 40 for operating the shooting application program and the security processing task 42 for operating the security application program. . The security processing task 42 will be described in detail later. In addition to these tasks, the memory 24 stores, for example, communication and downloaded image data and sound data, software used by the CPU 22 to control the memory 24, the telephone number and mail address of the communication partner, and the like. In addition, an address book to be managed, voice files such as dial tone and ring tone, temporary data used in software processing, and the like are stored. Note that computer programs and temporary data used in the software processing process are temporarily stored in a work area allocated to the memory 24 by the CPU 22. The memory 24 is, for example, a nonvolatile storage device (nonvolatile semiconductor memory such as ROM: Read Only Memory, a hard disk device, etc.), a readable / writable storage device (eg, SRAM: Static Random Access Memory, DRAM: Dynamic Random Access). Memory) and the like.

  The operation unit 28 includes, for example, an operation key 3 to which various functions such as a power key, a call key, a numeric key, a character key, a direction key, a determination key, and a call key are assigned, and a direction and determination key 4. When these keys are input by a user operation, a signal corresponding to the operation content is generated. The generated signal is input to the CPU 22 as a user instruction.

  The audio processing unit 30 executes processing of an audio signal input to the microphone 5 and an audio signal output from the first speaker 6 and the second speaker 36. That is, the sound processing unit 30 amplifies the sound input from the microphone 5, performs AD conversion (Analog Digital conversion), and then performs signal processing such as encoding to convert the sound into digital sound data to be converted into the CPU 22.

  The display unit 32 includes a display panel (such as the main display 2M described above) configured by a liquid crystal display (LCD, Liquid Crystal Display), an organic EL (Organic Electro-Luminescence) panel, and the like, and video data supplied from the CPU 22. The image corresponding to the image and the image corresponding to the image data are displayed on the display panel. In addition to the main display 2M, the display unit 32 may include a sub display at a position exposed to the outside even when the housing is closed, for example. Since the image sensor 34, the light emitting unit 37, and the switch position detecting unit 38 have been described above, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  Next, the operation of the mobile electronic device 1 will be described. First, the photographing operation by the photographing application program will be described. When the operation unit 28 is operated by the user and a camera activation instruction is input, the CPU 22 reads and decodes the shooting task 40 from the memory 24 and launches a shooting application program (hereinafter also referred to as “shooting application”). When the CPU 22 starts up the photographing application, the CPU 22 activates the image sensor 34 based on the photographing application. Further, the CPU 22 supplies power to the light emitting unit 37 and emits light from the light emitting unit 37. A part of the light emitted from the light emitting unit 37 passes through the window 50 and is emitted to the outside. In addition, the CPU 22 displays an image captured by the captured image on the display unit 32 as necessary.

  When the shutter button (image acquisition instruction button) is pressed while the image sensor 34 acquires an image in this way, the CPU 22 records the captured image and displays it on the display unit 32 as a still image. Thereafter, when a save instruction is input, the acquired image data is stored in the memory 24. Thereafter, when an instruction to end shooting is input, the CPU 22 ends the shooting application.

  Next, a security operation by the security processing application program will be described. Here, FIG. 6A is a perspective view illustrating a schematic configuration of the portable electronic device illustrated in FIG. 1, and FIG. 6B illustrates a state in which the switch member of the portable electronic device illustrated in FIG. It is a perspective view shown. FIG. 7A is a partially enlarged perspective view of the portable electronic device shown in FIG. 6A. FIG. 7B is a partially enlarged perspective view of the portable electronic device shown in FIG. Further, FIG. 8-1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the relationship between the light emitting portion and the switch member, and FIG. 8-2 is a cross-sectional view showing a state where the switch member shown in FIG. 8-1 is moved. is there.

  First, as shown in FIGS. 6-1 and 7-1, the switch member 10 is in a position (hereinafter also referred to as “first position”) where the outline is substantially the same as the second housing 1CB. The click member 60 and the protrusion 64 are in contact with each other. The switch position detector 38 continues to send information indicating that the switch member 10 is in the first position to the CPU 22 while the click member 60 and the protrusion 64 are in contact. When the switch member 10 is in the first position, the CPU 22 controls the operation of each part as usual.

  Next, when an emergency situation (such as being attacked by a suspicious person) occurs in the user and the user pulls the strap or the like connected to the hole 52, the switch member 10 is shown in FIGS. 6-2 and 7-2. As described above, the outline is moved to a position (hereinafter also referred to as “second position”) where the outline protrudes from the second housing 1CB. That is, the switch member 10 is moved with respect to the second housing 1CB. When the switch member 10 is moved to the second position, that is, when the switch member 10 is not in the first position, the click member 60 of the switch position detection unit 38 and the protrusion 64 are brought into a non-contact state, and the switch position detection unit 38. Outputs a signal indicating the non-contact state to the CPU 22.

  When the CPU 22 receives a signal indicating that it is in a non-contact state from the switch position detection unit 38, the CPU 22 reads the security processing task 42 from the memory 24, decodes it, and executes a security processing application program (hereinafter also referred to as “security application”). Launch. That is, the CPU 22 determines that an emergency has occurred in the user with the movement of the switch member 10 as a trigger, and starts the crime prevention process. CPU22 performs various crime prevention operation | movement with a crime prevention application. Specifically, a loud sound (buzzer) is output from the second speaker 36, and light is emitted from the light emitting unit 37.

  Here, during normal use, that is, when the switch member 10 is in the first position, as shown in FIG. 8A, the light emitted from the light emitting unit 37 passes through the window 50 and is emitted to the outside. . On the other hand, when the switch member 10 is not in the first position, that is, when it is moved to the second position, as shown in FIG. The switch member 10 is moved to a position that does not overlap the region facing the light emitting portion 37), and the light emitted from the light emitting portion 37 is directly emitted to the outside. Thereby, the light emitted from the light emitting unit 37 can be emitted to the outside without being blocked or reduced by the switch member 10. Specifically, among the light emitted from the light emitting unit 37, in addition to the light blocked by the portion other than the window 50, the light reduced by the window 50 can be emitted to the outside. It is possible to emit light having a higher intensity and wider angle.

  As described above, the portable electronic device 1 can cover the light emitting unit 37 with the switch member 10 during normal use, and can make the light emitting unit 37 not covered with the switch member 10 when an emergency occurs. Sometimes, the light emitted from the light emitting unit 37 can be emitted more strongly to the outside, and the surroundings can be more reliably notified that an emergency has occurred. In addition, by emitting strong light, it is possible to easily find a case where the position cannot be specified by the sound output from the second speaker 36 due to the dark surroundings or the like.

  Further, during normal use, the light emitting unit 37 can be protected by covering with the switch member 10, and more light than necessary can be prevented from being emitted. In this way, by protecting the light emitting unit 37, it is possible to suppress the failure of the light emitting unit 37 during normal use, and further, the amount of light emitted from the light emitting unit 37 to the outside is required for normal use. It can be. Thereby, as above-mentioned, at the time of normal use, it can be used as a light source which uses a light emission part as a normal light source.

  As described above, one light emitting unit can be used as a mark for notifying that the camera is activated, a light emitting unit used as a light source for illuminating a subject, and a light emitting unit for notifying an emergency. The device configuration of the portable electronic device 1 can be further simplified, and more intense light can be emitted when an emergency occurs. Further, by using the light emitting unit for normal use, it is possible to easily find out that the light emitting unit is out of order.

  Further, as in the present embodiment, by providing the switch member 10 in the vicinity of the imaging element 34, the light emitting unit used for photographing can be provided in a portion covered with the switch member 10, and more suitable for photographing. The subject can be illuminated with light. In addition, although it is preferable to use the light emission part used at the time of imaging | photography as this embodiment as a light emission part used at the time of emergency, the light emission part used at the time of emergency is not limited to this. Regardless of which light emitting unit is used, it is possible to emit stronger light than in normal use by not covering the switch member in an emergency.

  Here, in the portable electronic device 1, the switch member 10 is provided in a part of the second housing 1CB. However, the size and position of the switch member are not particularly limited, and the switch member 10 moves relative to the housing 1C and moves. By doing so, it is only necessary to change from the state of covering the light emitting unit 37 to the state of not covering it. Here, FIG. 9-1 is a rear view showing a schematic configuration of another embodiment of the switch member of the portable electronic device, and FIG. 9-2 moves the switch member of the portable electronic device shown in FIG. It is a rear view which shows the state made to do. For example, as shown in FIGS. 9-1 and 9-2, the entire back surface of the second housing 1CB of the portable electronic device 100 may be used as the switch member 102. As described above, even when the switch member 102 is enlarged, the light emitting portion 37 may be provided in a portion that is not covered by the switch member 102 when the switch member 102 is moved to the second position. Thus, as in the case described above, when the switch member 102 is moved to the second position, the light emitted from the light emitting unit 37 is emitted to the outside without being blocked by the switch member 102 and reduced. Can do. As a result, stronger light can be emitted when an emergency occurs.

  In each of the above embodiments, the switch member is moved from the first position to the second position by pulling the switch member in a predetermined direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the switch member may be moved from the first position to the second position by pushing the switch member in a predetermined direction, and the switch member is rotated from the first position to the second position by rotating the switch member. You may make it move to a position.

  In the portable electronic device, the switch position detection unit detects whether or not the switch member is in the first position. If the switch member is not in the first position, the security function may be activated. Therefore, the switch member is not limited to the configuration that moves between the first position and the second position, and the switch member may be detached from the housing. In this case, the state where the switch member is removed from the casing is the state where the switch member is not in the first position, that is, the second position. Here, the boundary for determining whether or not the switch member is in the first position is determined to be in the first position when the switch member is in a position covering the light emitting unit, and the switch member covers the light emitting unit. It may be set so that it is determined that it is not in the first position when it is in the position that is not.

  In the above embodiment, the switch member is provided with a hole for connecting to the strap, and the switch member is moved by pulling the strap connected to the hole. It is not limited to this, It is good also as a mechanism in which a user pushes manually or pulls.

  Here, it is preferable to provide a rib between the second housing and the substrate at a position surrounding the periphery of the light emitting unit. Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a schematic configuration of another embodiment of the portable electronic device. The portable electronic device 200 illustrated in FIG. 10 includes a rib 210 that surrounds the periphery of the light emitting unit 37 between the cover unit 204 and the substrate 13 of the second housing 200CB. By providing the rib 210, even when the switch member 10 is moved to the second position, the space between the second housing 200CB and the substrate 13 can be prevented from being connected to the outside. That is, members other than the light emitting unit 37 provided on the substrate 13 can be prevented from being newly connected to the outside. Thereby, the sound output from the second speaker 36 passes between the second casing 200CB and the substrate 13 and is output to the outside through the opening 204a facing the light emitting portion 37 of the second casing 200CB. Can be prevented. Thereby, it can suppress that the acoustic characteristic of the audio | voice output from the 2nd speaker 36 changes, and can output appropriately from the 2nd speaker 36 at the time of emergency occurrence. In particular, when the second speaker 36 and the light emitting unit 37 are provided close to each other, that is, when the light emitting unit 37 is in the vicinity of the second speaker 36, the rib 210 is provided so that the second speaker 36 Sound can be output more appropriately from the outside.

  Further, the surface of the rib 210 on the light emitting portion 37 side (that is, the inner peripheral surface) is preferably formed of a reflective material. In this way, by forming the inner peripheral surface of the rib 210 with a reflective material, more light emitted from the light emitting unit can be emitted to the outside.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although only one light emitting element (LED) was shown as a light emission part, the number of light emitting elements is not specifically limited, You may arrange | position two or more light emitting elements. Moreover, you may make it provide several light emission part in the position which is not covered when a switch member is moved to a 2nd position. As the LED, it is preferable to use a wide-angle LED because light can be emitted in a wider range when an emergency occurs. In this embodiment, an LED is used as a light emitting element. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a xenon flash, an EL (Electroluminescence) element, or the like can also be used.

  Moreover, in the portable electronic device 1, as an operation by the crime prevention application, sound is output from the second speaker 36 and light is emitted from the light emitting unit 37. However, the crime prevention operation of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a GPS receiving unit that detects the current position by the GPS function may be provided, and the GPS position information may be periodically transmitted to a predetermined communication terminal. Specifically, the latitude / longitude information (that is, position information) of the portable electronic device 1 is acquired from the GPS satellite by the GPS receiving unit, and the acquired position information is transmitted to the set terminal using the communication unit 26. This acquisition of position information and transmission to a preset terminal are repeated at regular time intervals. In addition, what is necessary is just to set this time interval and the terminal to transmit beforehand by the operator. Alternatively, the image capturing application may be activated to acquire images as much as possible. Even in a random state, it is possible to surprise a suspicious person by capturing an image, and to identify a suspicious person. In addition, a message may be delivered to a specific party by the mail function, or a telephone call may be automatically made to the police or the like.

  As described above, the portable electronic device according to the present invention is useful for use in crime prevention, and is particularly suitable for informing that an emergency situation has occurred around by light.
