Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information terminal device, and more particularly to an information terminal device to which a digital camera is connected.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a conventional information terminal (not shown) includes a method of connecting a dedicated connector on the side of a personal word processor and a connection terminal of a digital camera with a dedicated cable. Third, there is a method of connecting the interface connector on the back to the connection terminal of the digital camera with a dedicated cable. Third, there is a method of connecting a commercially available PC card to a card slot on the side of a personal word processor.

As described above, in the conventional information terminal device, it is necessary to connect the device and the digital camera with a dedicated cable or to attach a PC card in which image data is recorded to the device. It was necessary to purchase a PC card separately.

[0004]

However, in the conventional information terminal device, when a personal word processor and a digital camera are connected to transfer image data, a dedicated cable is separately purchased and connected. When image data is transferred from a PC card using a card slot of a personal word processor, the PC card is separately purchased and connected, so that the price of the PC card is high.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an information terminal device which realizes transfer of image data between the information terminal device and the digital camera without using a dedicated cable and a PC card.

[0006]

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an information terminal device comprising: a digital camera having a guide on a side surface and an interface connector on a rear portion;
A main body for processing the serial data image captured by the digital camera, a holder housed in the main body, and a guide rail into which the guide is inserted is disposed on a side surface, and a holder for housing the digital camera, and a rear portion of the holder The main body connector fitted to the interface connector provided on the main body, and the digital camera is built in the holder, so that the guide rail slides through the guide, and the interface connector and the main body connector are fitted. And a terminal device provided with a slide mechanism that fits.

[0007]

Next, an information terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an information terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a front perspective view of a digital camera mounted on an information terminal device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 3 is a rear perspective view of a digital camera mounted on an information terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

An information terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, has a digital camera 10 having a guide 12 on a side surface and an interface connector 11 on a rear portion.
And a main body 1 for processing serial data images picked up by the digital camera 10, and a guide rail 4 housed in the main body 1 and into which a guide 12 is inserted and arranged on a side surface to hold the digital camera 10. 2 and an interface connector 11 provided at the rear of the holder 2.
And a slide mechanism in which the guide rail 4 is slid via the guide 12 by incorporating the digital camera 10 in the holder 2 so that the interface connector 11 and the body connector 3 are fitted. And a terminal device provided with

A digital camera mounted on an information terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an interface connector 11 and a guide 12 as shown in FIGS.
, A finder 13, an operation button 14, an operation display lamp 15, a lens 16, and a self-timer lamp 1.
7 is comprised.

Next, the operation of the information terminal device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the operation of the information terminal device according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, first, the take-out button 5 of the main body 1 is pressed to open the holder 2.

Second, the guide 12 of the digital camera 10 is mounted forward along the guide rail 4 of the holder 2 so that the digital camera body 10 connects the interface connector 11 and the body connector 3.

Third, the mounting is completed by pressing the holder 2 of the main body 1 on which the digital camera 10 is mounted from above and closing the same, and a dedicated command is transmitted to the light receiving section 7 by a transmitter such as a remote controller. The image data stored in the camera 10 can be transferred to the main body 1, and the digital camera 10 can perform a monitor function and shutter shooting.

Therefore, by pressing the eject button 5 of the main body 1, the holder 2 can be opened and closed to mount the digital camera 10, and by mounting the digital camera 10, the main body connector 3 of the main body 1 and the digital camera 10 can be connected. The interface connector 11 of the digital camera 10 is electrically connected, so that image data stored in the digital camera 10 can be transferred, and a moving image monitor and a shutter image can be taken.

[0018]

As described above, according to the information terminal device of the present invention, since the main body connector of the device and the interface connector of the digital camera are directly connected, it is not necessary to use a dedicated cable, so that the cost can be reduced. In addition, the holder can be opened and closed by pressing the eject button of the device, so that the digital camera can be easily attached and detached without connecting a dedicated cable, and the image data stored in the digital camera can be monitored and shuttered by operating the remote control. There is an effect that can be done.
