Description

Mobile communication device {PORTABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICE}

The present invention provides a portable communication device including a camera phone employing a camera lens module, a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a hand held phone (HHP), a digital communication device, a communication device for gaming, an internet-only phone, and the like. In particular, the present invention relates to a portable communication device that is advantageous in miniaturizing and slimming the main body even when the main body adopts an optical zoom camera lens module and a built-in antenna device of three times or more.

The term "mobile communication device" in a conventional concept refers to an electronic device that a user can carry and perform wireless communication with the other party. Such portable communication devices have been trending toward miniaturization, slimness, grip, and light weight in consideration of portability, and are moving toward a multi-mediaization direction to pursue more various functions. In particular, more and more portable terminals will be used for miniaturization, light weight, multifunction, and versatility, and will be modified to adapt to various multimedia environments or the Internet environment. In addition, the portable terminal is an electronic device commonly used anywhere in the world, men and women, and is being recognized as a necessity to carry around at all times.

Conventional portable communication devices are classified into various types in appearance. For example, portable communication devices are classified as bar-type, flip-type, or folder-type communication devices depending on their appearance. The bar-type communication device means that the single housing is configured as a bar-type, the flip-type communication device means that the flip is rotatably configured by the hinge device in the bar-type housing, the folder-type communication device is It is meant that the folder in a single bar-shaped housing is configured to be rotatably connected and folded by a hinge device.

In addition, portable communication devices may be classified into either a neck wearable type or a wrist wear type according to a wearable position or a manner of wearing. A necklace-type communication device refers to a portable method of wearing a terminal around a neck using a string, and a wrist-wear type communication device refers to a portable method of wearing a terminal around a wrist.

In addition, the portable communication device may be classified into a rotation-type or sliding-type communication device according to an opening and closing method. The rotation-type communication device means that the two housings are rotatably connected and opened while remaining facing each other, and the sliding-type communication device means that the two housings are opened and closed by sliding movement in the longitudinal direction. it means. The variously classified communication devices listed above will be readily understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.

In addition, conventional portable communication apparatuses are being converted into structures capable of communicating high-speed data in addition to voice communication functions. That is, as the needs of consumers increase, the service will be provided using a wireless communication technology that transmits high speed data.

Currently, camera lenses have been adopted in conventional portable communication devices, and transmission of video signals and the like has been made. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In general, portable communication devices have been equipped with a camera lens module as an external type or a built-in type to perform a video call with a counterpart or photograph a desired subject.

However, in the conventional portable communication device, when the optical zoom camera lens module of 3 times or more is mounted on the main body in the sliding type portable communication device, a problem arises in that the thickness of the main body must provide a certain thickness or more. Specifically, when the camera lens module is installed in the main body using the optical zoom principle, the main body thickness is set in consideration of the optical zoom distance of the camera lens. This has resulted in reversing the miniaturization and slimming of the portable communication device.

In addition, the keypad adopted in the conventional portable communication device has a disadvantage that the key press operation may be inconvenient if necessary because of the 3 × 4 key arrangement.

In addition, the conventional portable communication device is provided with an opening for inserting a cell phone string at the upper part of the lower surface of the main body so that the user can use the file to prepare for a drop, etc., when carrying the mobile phone, but it is recognized as a useless part when the wire is not used. The structure was disadvantageous for slimming the body.

In addition, the conventional portable communication device is equipped with an antenna device on the upper end of the main body has a disadvantage in that the main body miniaturization and slimming.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a portable communication device that is advantageous for slimming the main body while adopting an optical zoom camera lens of 3 times or more that is most closely adopted toward the upper end of the main body and an internal antenna at the lower end of the main body.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a portable communication device that is easy to open and close sliding.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a portable communication device having a keypad composed of a 2 × 6 key arrangement and having a convenient key pressing operation.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a portable communication device,
