KR20060116347A - Privacy device for information devices such as mobile phones - Google Patents

Abstract

A privacy preventing device in an information device such as a portable phone is provided to prevent hacking by installing a cover which functions as a manual locking device for enabling the user to manually lock, thereby preventing personal privacy from being exposed by a hacking program. A regular portable phone has a camera having an exposed lens or is used as a regular zoom camera. In the regular portable phone, secrete privacy can be photographed or information can be leaked out by a hacking program before a user knows. The hacking is prevented by installing a cover which functions as a manual locking device for enabling the user to manually lock. By installing the cover which manually moves right and left, the manual lock device is opened when performs photographing and is closed when the user does not wants.

Information devices connected to communications using cameras such as mobile phones using lenses exposed without protective cases are not equipped with special security devices.

We want to add safety devices to avoid camera operation in unwanted situations such as hacking programs.

As shown in Fig. 1, a normal cell phone has a camera having a lens in an exposed state in a cell phone, or a cell phone which also uses a general zoom camera. In a state where all of the operating states are automatically adjusted freely, a hacking program can capture secret privacy or leak information without the user's knowledge. Therefore, a cover that functions as a manual locking device so that a user can manually lock the door is placed as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 to prevent hacking. In FIG. 2, the cover is moved manually to the left and right to open when shooting, and to close when it is not desired.

In Fig. 3, a cover of a rotary structure type was placed. Each figure in Fig. 3 shows an open state and a closed state. It is not easily opened by non-slip jaw.

For women, they kept their cell phones aside and changed their clothes or prevented them from being hacked when showering.

Claims (1)

In information equipment with a traffic line connected to a camera such as a mobile phone, a manual locking device is provided as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 to prevent manual exposure and exposure of information secrets by hacking.
