Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a smartphone case having a self-photographing handle,

The present invention relates to a smartphone case having a self-photographing knob. And more particularly, to a smartphone case having a self-photographing knob capable of self-photographing by self-photographing using a photographing switch installed on a handle, which can extend a self-photographing distance during self-photographing using a smartphone camera.

Recently, smart phones have built-in cameras, and self-portraits (ie, self-cameras) using smartphone cameras are becoming a culture.

Self-photographing is not only at home, but also because it has the advantage of taking your own pictures freely without asking other people while traveling.

The smart phone has a camera lens for self-photographing and a lens for general photography in opposite directions.

In order to operate the camera, it is necessary to physically operate the specific switch of the smart phone with a hand or a hand tool to perform the shooting.

Therefore, when the self-photographing is performed, only the close-up photographing is possible where the user's hand can be extended. In addition, not only is the face of the lens distorted due to the nature of the lens at the close-up photographing, There is a problem that it is impossible to shoot a plurality of persons such as photographs.

Furthermore, recent smart phones are equipped with a switch function, which is an advanced step from the button type, which is a screen touch type. Such a screen touch type senses the pressure applied to the screen and detects the change of static electricity in contact with the screen. Electrostatic discharge is commonly used.

In addition, a screen touch pen has been developed to solve the inconvenience of operating the touch screen by hand.

Such a switch function of the touch screen can not overcome the limitation of operation only by using the tool using the human hand or the human hand, so that the existing problem of the self-photographing of the mobile phone is not improved.

In Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2012-0082110 (titled as a mobile phone camera self-photographing remote control device), when a mobile phone camera is self-photographing, a switch of a mobile phone camera must be operated by hand. In order to operate a camera switch of a mobile phone wirelessly using infrared rays and electromagnets, a self-photographing remote control device for a mobile phone camera has been proposed.

However, in the conventional self-photographing remote control device, the camera switch is operated by operating the electromagnet connected to the infrared ray receiving module and the magnetic plate sensitive to the magnetic force of the electromagnet, .
