Camera device of wireless phone

The present invention relates to a mobile phone equipped with an image camera capable of transmitting and receiving image information, and more particularly, at least one image camera of the plurality of image cameras is configured to allow the user to change the position of the image information. It's all about mobile phones that can transmit in real time.

According to the development of technology and the desire of consumers, mobile phones are becoming more and more versatile, and one of the functions is to configure cameras on mobile phones to send and receive image information in real time.

In general, a conventional mobile phone with a video camera is configured to be fixed to the front of the mobile phone so that the user's face is visible during a call, the background around the caller is not visible.

Therefore, the conventional mobile phone with a video camera has a disadvantage that can not show the various surrounding screens in real time to the other party.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, the camera support having a plurality of cameras arranged before and after fixed to the mobile phone in a structure that can be changed position according to the user's adjustment, and install the two cameras selectively control Configure a mobile phone system that provides the other party with the necessary video information.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a mobile phone with a video camera equipped with a system capable of transmitting various image information to a call counterpart in real time during a mobile phone call.

1 is a view showing the structure of a mobile phone is installed the image camera of the present invention,

2 is a block diagram constituting a mobile phone of the present invention,

The present invention provides a duplexer for transmitting and receiving the video and audio information of the audio transmitter and receiver, the image transmitter and receiver via an audio transmitter and receiver, an image transmitter and receiver, and an image display unit for displaying an image of the image transmitter and receiver. And a mobile phone including a key input unit, an audio unit for transmitting and receiving voice information, and an image photographing camera, wherein the voice transmitter / receiver unit, the image transmitter / receiver unit, an image display unit, an audio unit, a key input unit, and a controller to control the camera are provided. In the above, the video recording camera is composed of a plurality of the main body of the mobile phone, at least one or more of the cameras are fixed to the support that can move the position is configured to change the position, the camera is controlled by the key input unit And optionally configured to transmit image information through the image transmitter / receiver. It shall be.

Technical configuration and operation of the mobile phone with the image camera of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

In the mobile phone with the image camera of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a flexible support bar 2 having plasticity is installed on the upper part of the main body of the mobile phone 1, and the front and rear ends of the support bar face each other. The support body 3 which fixes the lens 4a, 4b of the camera arrange | positioned is comprised. The camera lens 4a is disposed so as to face the image display unit 5 of the mobile phone so as to photograph the face of the mobile phone user during a call, and the lens 4b is disposed on the rear side of the lens 4a, It is configured to take a background.

The lens (4b), (4b) can be configured to automatically adjust the direction of the up, down and left and right, respectively through the key input unit of the mobile phone, or manually bend the support bar (2) to adjust the direction Configured to do so.

As described above, the mobile phone of the present invention having a plurality of image cameras includes a control unit 6, an image display unit 5, a key input unit 7, an audio unit 8, and a camera controlled by the control unit as shown in FIG. The control unit 9, the first camera 10, the second camera 11, the image transmitting and receiving unit 12, the audio transmitting and receiving unit 13 and the like.

The audio transmitter and receiver and the video transmitter and receiver are connected to the antenna 15 via the duplexer 14.

In particular, the camera control unit 9 for controlling the first camera and the second camera is controlled through the control unit by the operation of the key input unit. The first camera and the second camera of the cameras may be controlled to be driven independently, and in some cases, the first camera and the second camera may be controlled to be driven simultaneously. On the other hand, when the image information photographed by a plurality of cameras from the outside through the image transmission and reception unit 12 is input, the screen of the image display unit 5 is divided into a plurality so that the image information can be divided and displayed as image information, respectively. .

The image display unit divided into a plurality of screens is divided into a video screen showing the face of the caller and the front screen of the caller, that is, a video screen showing the background reflected on the back of the mobile phone. Since the image camera showing the background of the mobile phone can be repositioned, the caller of the other party can operate the key input unit of the mobile phone to take various pictures of the background and transmit the call in real time.

The process of controlling the first camera and the second camera will be described in more detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3.

First, the mobile phone user connects a mobile phone installed with a plurality of cameras in a call enabled state (S1), and selects whether to make a video call (S2).

When the caller wants a video call, the camera mode is selected through the key input unit (S3).

The camera selection mode is divided into a first camera selection (S4), a second camera selection (S5) or simultaneous selection (S6) of the first camera and the second camera. When the first camera is selected and driven (S7), the image display unit is driven (S10) to make a call (S11).

Similarly, when the second camera is selected and driven (S9), the image display unit is driven (S10) to make a call (S11).

If the first camera and the second camera are selected and driven at the same time, the image display unit is driven (S10) while the screen division (S8) of the image display unit is made.

If the user of the cellular phone does not select the video call mode, it is determined whether it is the text transmission mode (S12). If not, the mobile phone user moves to step S11 to make a call.

If it is in the text transmission mode, the flow advances to step 10 to drive the image display unit and transmit the text message.

The present invention configured as described above is not limited to the description of the above embodiment, and various modifications of the structure can be made without departing from the object of the present invention.

In the present invention, a flexible support bar (2) is provided on the upper part of the main body of the mobile phone (1), and the support (3) for fixing the lens (4a, 4b) of the camera disposed to face the front and rear surfaces at the end of the support bar. The camera lens 4a is disposed to face the image display unit 5 of the mobile phone so as to photograph the face of the mobile phone user during a call, and the lens 4b is disposed at the rear of the lens 4a. It is configured to take a background of the back side of the mobile phone, there is an effect that can be transmitted to the other party in real time a variety of video information of the surrounding environment during the mobile phone call.

In addition, since one of the lenses constituting the camera can be adjusted in position to take an image, there is an effect that can be usefully used for remote surgery and examination of the patient.
