Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、折り畳み式の移動通信端末装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
近年、動画撮影カメラ付きの移動通信端末装置が使用されるようになっている。
【０００３】
図４は、移動通信端末装置の一般的な折り畳み式の携帯電話機の外観図を示し、図４（ａ）は正面図、図４（ｂ）は背面図を示す。
【０００４】
以下、図面を参照して従来の携帯電話機について説明する。折り畳み式の携帯電話機は、上筐体５１と下筐体５２とを、ヒンジ５３により回動可能に連結させて開閉する構造としている。また、この開閉を検出する折り畳みスイッチを筐体内部に有する（図示せず）。
【０００５】
上筐体５１の正面には、メインＬＣＤ１０４とスピーカ５４が配置され、更に上筐体５１の頂部にはアンテナ１１２が配置される。
【０００６】
また、上筐体５１の背面には、背面ＬＣＤ１０５と動画撮影用のカメラ１０３が配置される。
【０００７】
下筐体５２の正面には、テンキーやファンクションキーやクロスキー等のキー１０１と、マイクロホン１０７が配置される。
【０００８】
この構成において、動画撮影時は、上筐体５１を開いた状態にして折り畳みスイッチがＯＦＦとなり撮影および録音を行っている。すなわち、操作者はカメラ１０３を被写体に向け、そのカメラ１０３からの動画像をメインＬＣＤ１０４で確認しながら撮影し、撮影時の音声はマイクロホン１０７から内部の音声メモリ１０に入力している。上筐体５１が閉じられると、折り畳みスイッチがＯＮとなり動画撮影は終了する。
【０００９】
別の従来技術として、折り畳み式の携帯電話機ではないが、単一のＬＣＤを有して、このＬＣＤを覆うＬＣＤケースのみが開閉可能な構成とし、且つ動画撮影用のカメラを備える無線情報装置がある（例えば、特許文献１参照。）。
【００１０】
この無線情報装置にあっては、ＬＣＤケースの開閉スイッチで開状態が検出された場合にＴＶ電話モードと判別し、ＴＶ電話モードではハンズフリーで操作者の声が遠いのでマイクロホンの入力ゲインを大きくすることが行われ、又、カメラと単一のＬＣＤの電源をオンにして動画撮影を行っている。
【００１１】

特開平１１−２１５４７７号公報（第１−２０頁、図１−３３）
【００１２】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、上述した従来の装置においては、動画撮影時には消費電流の大きなメインＬＣＤまたは単一のＬＣＤの電源をオンにするため、電池使用時間が短くなる欠点があった。
【００１３】
また、筐体を閉じた状態での動画撮影はできない欠点があった。
【００１５】
従って、本発明は、消費電流の小さな動画撮影モードを提供し、また筐体を閉じたコンパクトな状態でも撮影可能とする移動通信端末装置を提供することを目的とする。
【００１６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、本発明の移動通信端末装置は、動画を撮影するカメラと、このカメラからの動画像を記憶する画像メモリと、文字および画像の表示を行う第１の表示手段および第２の表示手段と、折り畳み可能に連結された上筐体と下筐体との開閉を検出する開閉検出手段とを備える移動通信端末装置であって、前記第１の表示手段は、前記上筐体の正面に固設され、前記第２の表示手段は、前記上筐体の背面に固設され、前記カメラを用いた動画撮影モード時に、前記開閉検出手段による前記開閉検出に関わらず、前記カメラからの動画像の前記画像メモリへの取り込みを行う第１の制御手段と、前記動画像の表示先として前記第２の表示手段が指定されている時には、前記開閉検出手段による前記開閉検出に関わらず、前記第１の表示手段をオフにし、前記第２の表示手段に前記動画撮影中のメッセージの表示又は前記カメラからの動画像又は前記画像メモリからの動画像の表示を行う第２の制御手段とを具備することを特徴とする。
【００１７】
また、本発明の移動通信端末装置は、動画を撮影するカメラと、このカメラからの動画像を記憶する画像メモリと、文字および画像の表示を行う第１の表示手段および第２の表示手段と、折り畳み可能に連結された上筐体と下筐体との開閉を検出する開閉検出手段とを備える移動通信端末装置であって、前記カメラを用いた動画撮影モード時に、前記開閉検出手段による前記開閉検出に関わらず、前記カメラからの動画像の前記画像メモリへの取り込みを行う第１の制御手段と、前記動画像の表示先として前記第１の表示手段が指定されている時であって、前記開閉検出手段が開状態を検出している時は、前記第１の表示手段に前記動画像の表示を行い、前記開閉検出手段が閉状態を検出している時は、前記第１の表示手段をオフにし、前記第２の表示手段に前記動画撮影中のメッセージの表示又は前記カメラからの動画像又は前記画像メモリからの動画像の表示を行う第２の制御手段とを具備することを特徴とする。
【００１８】
【発明の実施の形態】
図１、図２および図３は、本発明を携帯電話機に適用した実施の形態を示し、図１は携帯電話機のブロック図、図２および図３は動画撮影モードでのフローチャートである。
【００１９】
図１に示すように、この携帯電話機の主要部は、キー１、制御部２、カメラ３、メインＬＣＤ４（第１の表示手段）、背面ＬＣＤ５（第２の表示手段）、画像メモリ６、マイクロホン７、ゲイン調整部８、音声メモリ１０、通信部１１、アンテナ１２および折り畳みスイッチ１３から構成される。
【００２０】
動画撮影時は、キー１からの情報が制御部２へ入力される。ここで、キー１からのキー操作により、動画撮影モードが指示されると、制御部２は、カメラ３からの動画信号を取り込み、画像メモリ６に保存すると共に、メインＬＣＤ４又は背面ＬＣＤ５にその動画像等を表示する。
【００２１】
また制御部２は、マイクロホン７からの音声信号をゲイン制御部８を経由して取り込むが、その取り込み時に、制御部２からのゲイン切替信号９によりゲイン制御部８がマイクロホン７からの入力ゲインを可変して、取り込む音声信号の大きさを可変するよう動作する。取り込んだ音声信号は音声メモリ１０に保存する。
【００２２】
動画および音声信号を通信相手へ送信する場合は、制御部２は動画および音声信号の符号化、変調等を行い、通信部１１を経由して、アンテナ１２から送信する。
【００２３】
又、制御部２は折り畳みスイッチ１３をチェックして、図４に示す折り畳み式携帯電話機の上筐体５１が開かれているか閉じているかを判断して、上記動画信号および音声信号の取り込みを制御する。
【００２４】
次に、動画撮影時の動作を図２のフローチャートで説明する。まず、制御部２はキー１をチェックして、動画撮影が指示されると、動画撮影モードに入り（ステップＳ１）、以降、折り畳みスイッチ１３のＯＮ／ＯＦＦに関わらず、即ち上筐体５１の開閉状態に関わらず、動画撮影モードを継続する。
【００２５】
動画撮影モードに入ると、制御部２が、最初に動画像および音声信号の取り込みに関する制御を行う。すなわち、カメラ３からの動画像を画像メモリ６へ取り込み、また、撮影時の音声を取りこむためマイクロホン７からの音声信号を音声メモリ１０への取り込みを行う（ステップＳ２、ステップＳ３）。
【００２６】
次に制御部２は、動画撮影モード中における動画像等の表示に関する制御を行う。すなわち、先ずキー１から予め指定された表示先画面の選択操作のチェック、および折り畳みスイッチ１３のチェック（ステップＳ４、ステップＳ５）を行う。
【００２７】
このチェックで、表示先としてメインＬＣＤ４が選択され、且つ上筐体５１が開状態（折り畳みスイッチがＯＦＦ）にある場合、制御部２はメインＬＣＤ４に動画像の表示を行い、背面ＬＣＤ５の表示をオフにする（ステップＳ６，ステップＳ７）。メインＬＣＤ４への動画像の表示は、カメラ３からの動画像を直接表示しても良いし、画像メモリ６に保存された動画像を表示するようにしても良い。
【００２８】
これにより、解像度の良いメインＬＣＤ４を利用した通常の動画撮影を行うことができる。
【００２９】
ステップＳ４のチェックで表示先としてメインＬＣＤ４が選択され、且つステップＳ５のチェックで上筐体５１が閉状態にある場合、制御部２はメインＬＣＤ４の表示をオフにすると共に、背面ＬＣＤ５に「動画撮影中」等のメッセージ表示を行う（ステップＳ８、ステップＳ９）。背面ＬＣＤ５に表示されるメッセージは予め制御部２の内蔵メモリに記憶されているものを読み出して表示するもので、メッセージの内容は上記の例に限定されない。
【００３０】
ここでは背面ＬＣＤ５にメッセージ表示を行うとしたが、図２のステップＳ９の替わりに、背面ＬＣＤ５にカメラ３からの動画像を直接表示するか、または画像メモリ６に保存された動画像を表示することもできる。これにより、操作者はカメラ３と背面ＬＣＤ５を見ながら自画像等の撮影を行うことができる。また、ステップＳ８でメインＬＣＤの表示をオフにしたが、メインＬＣＤの表示をオンのままでステップＳ９で背面ＬＣＤに表示をしても、背面ＬＣＤを生かすことができる。
【００３１】
従って、本発明によれば、折り畳み式の携帯電話において、上筐体が閉じられたコンパクトな形状、即ち、折り畳みスイッチがＯＮして通常は無線部を除き装置が非動作な状態であってもカメラを用いた動画撮影を実施することができる。この場合、消費電流の大きなメインＬＣＤ４の表示をオフにし、しかも動画撮影中であることを背面ＬＣＤ５にメッセージ表示又はカメラで撮影した動画像の表示を行って操作者に知らしめることができる。
【００３２】
ステップＳ４のチェックで、表示先として背面ＬＣＤ５が選択された場合は、上筐体５１の開閉状態に関わらず、制御部２はメインＬＣＤ４の表示をオフにし、背面ＬＣＤ５に動画像の表示を行う（ステップＳ１０、ステップＳ１１）。
【００３３】
これにより、消費電流の小さな背面ＬＣＤ５を選択してカメラで撮影した動画像の表示を行い、動画撮影を実行することができる。
【００３４】
動画撮影モード中は、更に制御部２は、図３に示すマイクロホンの入力ゲインに関する制御を行う。すなわち、上筐体５１が開状態にある場合は、折り畳みスイッチ１３のＯＦＦ信号によりゲイン制御部７におけるマイクロホン７の入力ゲインを通常の設定値に設定するようゲイン切替信号９を出力する（ステップＳ１３）。従って、上筐体５１が開状態にあっては通常の入力ゲインによって音声信号が処理される。一方、上筐体５１が閉状態にある場合は、折り畳みスイッチ１３のＯＮ信号によりゲイン制御部７におけるマイクロホン７の入力ゲインを通常の設定値より大きな設定値に設定するようゲイン切替信号９を出力する（ステップＳ１４）。
【００３５】
即ち、上筐体５１が閉状態の時にはマイクロホン７が上筐体５１と下筐体５２との間に挟まれて隠れてしまい、音声の通りが悪くなる。本発明では、折り畳みスイッチ１３のＯＮ／ＯＦＦ信号から上筐体の開状態／閉状態を判断し、閉状態と判断した時にはゲイン制御部８の入力ゲインを大きく設定するものである。
【００３６】
この実施の形態では、入力ゲインを固定値として切り替えたが、ＡＧＣ等で感度を切り替えるようにしてもよい。
【００３７】
【発明の効果】
このように、本発明によれば、折り畳み式の移動通信端末装置において、動画撮影時の動画像の表示先を消費電流の大きなメインＬＣＤにするか、消費電流の小さな背面ＬＣＤにするかを選択でき、背面ＬＣＤを表示先として選択することで消費電流を軽減させることが可能となる。また、折り畳んでコンパクトな状態でも動画撮影を行うことができる。

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
1, 2 and 3 show an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a mobile phone, FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the mobile phone, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are flowcharts in a moving image shooting mode.
[0019]
As shown in FIG. 1, the main parts of this cellular phone are a key 1, a control unit 2, a camera 3, a main LCD 4 (first display means), a rear LCD 5 (second display means), an image memory 6, and a microphone. 7, a gain adjustment unit 8, an audio memory 10, a communication unit 11, an antenna 12, and a folding switch 13.
[0020]
At the time of moving image shooting, information from the key 1 is input to the control unit 2. Here, when the moving image shooting mode is instructed by the key operation from the key 1, the control unit 2 captures the moving image signal from the camera 3, stores it in the image memory 6, and also stores the moving image in the main LCD 4 or the rear LCD 5. Display an image, etc.
[0021]
The control unit 2 captures the audio signal from the microphone 7 via the gain control unit 8. At the time of the capture, the gain control unit 8 uses the gain switching signal 9 from the control unit 2 to input the input gain from the microphone 7. It operates so as to vary the size of the audio signal to be captured. The acquired audio signal is stored in the audio memory 10.
[0022]
When transmitting a moving image and an audio signal to a communication partner, the control unit 2 performs encoding and modulation of the moving image and the audio signal, and transmits them from the antenna 12 via the communication unit 11.
[0023]
The control unit 2 checks the folding switch 13 to determine whether the upper casing 51 of the folding cellular phone shown in FIG. 4 is open or closed, and controls the capturing of the moving image signal and the audio signal. To do.
[0024]
Next, the operation during moving image shooting will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the control unit 2 checks the key 1 and enters a moving image shooting mode when a moving image shooting is instructed (step S1). Thereafter, regardless of whether the folding switch 13 is ON or OFF, that is, the upper casing 51 is turned on. Regardless of the open / closed state, the movie shooting mode is continued.
[0025]
When the moving image shooting mode is entered, the control unit 2 first performs control relating to capturing of moving images and audio signals. That is, the moving image from the camera 3 is taken into the image memory 6, and the sound signal from the microphone 7 is taken into the sound memory 10 in order to capture sound at the time of shooting (steps S2 and S3).
[0026]
Next, the control unit 2 performs control related to display of moving images and the like during the moving image shooting mode. That is, first, the selection operation of the display destination screen designated in advance from the key 1 is checked, and the folding switch 13 is checked (steps S4 and S5).
[0027]
In this check, when the main LCD 4 is selected as the display destination and the upper casing 51 is in the open state (folding switch is OFF), the control unit 2 displays a moving image on the main LCD 4 and displays the rear LCD 5. Turn off (step S6, step S7). The moving image can be displayed on the main LCD 4 by directly displaying the moving image from the camera 3 or by displaying the moving image stored in the image memory 6.
[0028]
As a result, normal moving image shooting using the main LCD 4 with good resolution can be performed.
[0029]
When the main LCD 4 is selected as the display destination in the check in step S4 and the upper casing 51 is in the closed state in the check in step S5, the control unit 2 turns off the display of the main LCD 4 and displays “video” on the rear LCD 5. A message such as “shooting” is displayed (steps S8 and S9). The message displayed on the rear LCD 5 is read and displayed in advance in the internal memory of the control unit 2, and the content of the message is not limited to the above example.
[0030]
Here, the message is displayed on the rear LCD 5, but instead of step S9 in FIG. 2, the moving image from the camera 3 is directly displayed on the rear LCD 5, or the moving image stored in the image memory 6 is displayed. You can also. As a result, the operator can take a self-portrait while looking at the camera 3 and the rear LCD 5. Further, although the display of the main LCD is turned off in step S8, the rear LCD can be used even if the display of the main LCD is kept on and the display is performed on the rear LCD in step S9.
[0031]
Therefore, according to the present invention, in a foldable mobile phone, even when the upper casing is closed in a compact shape, that is, even when the folding switch is turned on and the apparatus is normally inactive except for the radio unit. Movie shooting using a camera can be performed. In this case, the display of the main LCD 4 that consumes a large amount of current can be turned off, and a message can be displayed on the rear LCD 5 or a moving image captured by the camera can be displayed on the rear LCD 5 to notify the operator.
[0032]
When the back LCD 5 is selected as the display destination in the check in step S4, the control unit 2 turns off the display of the main LCD 4 and displays a moving image on the back LCD 5 regardless of the open / closed state of the upper housing 51. (Step S10, Step S11).
[0033]
Thereby, it is possible to perform moving image shooting by selecting the rear LCD 5 having a small current consumption and displaying a moving image shot by the camera.
[0034]
During the moving image shooting mode, the control unit 2 further performs control related to the input gain of the microphone shown in FIG. That is, when the upper casing 51 is in the open state, the gain switching signal 9 is output so as to set the input gain of the microphone 7 in the gain control unit 7 to a normal set value by the OFF signal of the folding switch 13 (step S13). ). Therefore, when the upper casing 51 is in the open state, the audio signal is processed with a normal input gain. On the other hand, when the upper casing 51 is in the closed state, the gain switching signal 9 is output so as to set the input gain of the microphone 7 in the gain control unit 7 to a set value larger than the normal set value by the ON signal of the folding switch 13. (Step S14).
[0035]
That is, when the upper casing 51 is in the closed state, the microphone 7 is sandwiched between the upper casing 51 and the lower casing 52 and is hidden, and the sound is poor. In the present invention, the open / closed state of the upper housing is determined from the ON / OFF signal of the folding switch 13, and when the closed state is determined, the input gain of the gain control unit 8 is set large.
[0036]
In this embodiment, the input gain is switched as a fixed value, but the sensitivity may be switched by AGC or the like.
[0037]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, in the foldable mobile communication terminal device, the moving image display destination at the time of moving image shooting is selected as the main LCD having a large current consumption or the rear LCD having a small current consumption. In addition, the current consumption can be reduced by selecting the rear LCD as the display destination. In addition, moving pictures can be taken even when folded and compact.
