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, the camera lens employed in the conventional portable device is inconvenient to shoot within a predetermined shooting range, which causes a problem of lowering the desire of the user. For example, in the self-shot mode, if the user wants to photograph his face using the camera lens adopted in the mobile device, the user keeps the camera lens at a certain distance from his / her face and presses the operation button to shoot. . However, it is impossible for a user to take a picture of his or her whole body or an entire body with a camera. This is because if the user wants to take a picture of his whole body, the camera lens should be photographed at a far distance. For this purpose, it is well known that the user has conventionally taken a picture using a self-timer.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a portable device capable of expanding a camera photographing range to a user by mounting a reflecting means at a predetermined position of the portable device.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a portable device capable of photographing a subject with various images using a convex mirror as a reflecting means.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a portable device capable of adjusting the extent of rotation of the camera lens or the extended range of the camera lens by adjusting the distance to the reflecting means.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a portable device having a camera function,
