Description

Portable communication device with auxiliary folder {AUXILIARY FOLDER HAVING MOBILE PHONE}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable communication device having an auxiliary folder. In particular, the portable communication device can perform a variety of display functions on a product by configuring an auxiliary folder having an auxiliary LCD and a speaker in the communication device. A portable communication device having an auxiliary folder.

In general, the term “portable communication device” refers to a device that a user can carry and perform wireless communication with a counterpart. Such portable communication devices are referred to as HHP, CT-2 cellular phones, digital phones, PCS phones and PDAs, and are classified into various types in appearance. For example, wireless terminals are classified into bar-type, flip-type, or folder-type wireless terminals according to their appearance. The bar-type wireless terminal means that the single housing is configured as a bar-type, and the flip-type wireless terminal means that the flip or cover is rotatably configured by the hinge device in the bar-type housing. The terminal means that the folder is configured to be rotatably connected to the single bar-shaped housing by a hinge device and to be folded. In addition, the portable terminal may be classified into a neck wearable type or a wrist wearable type according to a body wearing position or a wearing method. A necklace-type wireless terminal refers to a portable method of wearing a terminal around a neck using a string, and a wrist-type wireless terminal refers to a portable method of wearing a terminal to a wrist. In addition, the wireless terminal may be classified into a rotation-type or sliding-type wireless terminal according to an opening and closing method. The rotatable wireless terminal means that two housings are rotatably connected and opened while facing each other, and the sliding-type wireless terminal is one of two housings, in which one housing is faced by longitudinal sliding movement. It means to open and close. The variously classified wireless terminals listed above will be readily understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. Meanwhile, the above-mentioned conventional portable terminals are essentially provided with an antenna device, a data input / output device, and a data transmission / reception device. Of course, the data input device is commonly used as a keypad for inputting data mainly by a finger pressing operation, a touch pad or a touch screen is also used.

In addition, the data display function according to the data output device commonly uses the LCD.

Basically, the keypad used for data input consists of an arrangement of a plurality of keys. These keys are composed of a call start button (SND) key, a cancel key, a modification key (CLR), a numeric key, a letter key, an end (END) key, a function key, a power (PWR) key, and the like.

In addition, the keys are usually arranged in place in the number of 15 to 20 on the upper surface of the housing of the portable terminal. Of course, the keys are exposed from the upper surface so that the user inputs the desired data by pressing a finger.

In the conventional portable communication device, the photographing means includes a camera lens for arranging video calls, thereby making a video call with the other party or photographing a desired subject.

The PDA may include a touch screen used as a keyboard on the front of the main body, an LCD which does not overlap with the touch screen, a speaker, and a microphone, wherein the LCD is a screen area, and the touch screen is divided into a keyboard area. By using the user's hand or a text input pen on the touch screen, it is possible to freely input and input various desired characters or key data on the touch screen.

However, users are increasingly in need of informatization, and in reality, it is very inconvenient to communicate using a portable terminal having a single LCD screen under an Internet environment or a multimedia environment.
