Description

{PHONE HAVING VIRTUAL REALITY FUNCTION}

The present invention relates to a virtual reality mobile phone, and more particularly, to a mobile phone in which modules capable of experiencing virtual reality are provided integrally.

Virtual Reality is the interface between humans and computers that artificially creates a particular environment or situation, making it seem as if the person using it is interacting with the actual environment and environment. Virtual reality is a combination of artificial reality, cyberspace, virtual worlds, virtual environment, synthetic environment, and artificial environment. It is.

The purpose of using virtual reality is to show and manipulate people as if they are entering the environment without ever experiencing the environment that is difficult for people to experience on a daily basis. Its applications include education, remote operation, remote satellite surface exploration, Data analysis, and scientific visualization.

Recently, as the smartphone has become widespread, virtual reality is attracting attention again. For example, Gear VR, LG's G3 VR, and Google's cardboard, which are manufactured jointly with Oculus by Samsung, are examples. These products can experience virtual reality in conjunction with a smart phone, The price is cheaper.

The present invention provides a mobile phone including a virtual reality function.

The present invention does not need to be carried separately, and provides a mobile phone that can implement the VR function at a desired time and place.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a virtual reality mobile phone includes a main body including a display on the front side, a main frame reversibly receiving the main body, a eyepiece plate capable of maintaining a variable distance from the back side of the main frame, And a screen and a distance adjustment member interposed between the main frame and the eyepiece plate and moving the eyepiece plate between the main frame and the main frame in a state in which the eyepiece plate is in tight contact with the main frame and in a state of maintaining a predetermined distance, The display of the reversed main body faces rearward, so that the virtual reality function can be realized.

The virtual reality mobile phone according to the present invention can integrate a general mobile phone and a virtual reality module into a portable mobile structure, thereby realizing a virtual reality function regardless of place and time.

As the functions that can be implemented by the virtual reality function are increased, the virtual reality usage degree will increase. However, carrying the separate auxiliary device like the conventional one can not satisfy this need.

Thus, the screen and the distance adjusting member form a structure capable of holding the eyepiece plate from the cellular phone at a variable length, wherein the screen and the distance adjusting member include a plurality of screen cylinders which are stacked and fixed to each other while being back- A light blocking screen function for blocking the inflow of external light can be implemented at the same time.

In addition, since the main body is reversibly mounted in the main frame, the main body is normally used for general purposes, and the main body can be reversed to be rearward for the virtual reality function. For reference, in the present specification, the main frame does not need to accommodate all of the side surfaces of the main body, but may be provided in a structure that accommodates three surfaces or accommodates only two surfaces adjacent to the rotation axis.

The display of the inverted main body and the virtual reality function using the spaced eyepiece plate can be implemented in various ways. For example, as in the case of a conventional card board, a virtual reality display may be divided into left and right portions and a stereoscopic effect may be realized by using a pair of eyepieces. However, in a polarizing glasses system in which a polarizing lens is mounted on a eyepiece plate, A shutter glass system that opens and closes the lens with a time difference can be applied to the present invention. In addition, a variety of display and lens combinations for virtual reality implementations and stereoscopic displays can be implemented.

The eyepiece plate must remain in tight contact with the main body while not using the virtual reality feature and be able to maintain a spaced distance from the main body while maintaining the predetermined distance while using the virtual reality feature. To this end, the eyepiece plate should be able to form a variable distance rather than being fixed relative to the main body. To this end, the screen and the distance adjustment member can move the eyepiece plate between the close and spaced states in a variety of ways.

For example, the screen and the distance adjustment member may be embodied as a plurality of screen bases, and the mutual frictional and clamping forces of the screen baskets are utilized to maintain the spacing between the display of the inverted main body and the eyepiece plate, There is a number. Alternatively, the screen and the distance adjusting member may be interposed between the main frame and the eyepiece plate, and may include a distance adjusting unit for moving the eyepiece plate between the close contact state and the spacing state, and a distance adjusting unit interposed between the main frame and the eyepiece plate And a light shielding screen for shielding the inflow of external light in the spaced apart state of the eyepiece plate.

When the screen and the distance adjusting member are realized as a screen barrel, the screen barrel may be formed into a single wall structure, but may be provided with a double wall structure for a solid supporting structure and light weight. That is, for the double wall structure, the screen cylinder may include an inner wall and an outer wall, and a minimum spacing space may be formed between the inner wall and the outer wall.

In addition, in order to solve heat and electromagnetic waves generated from the virtual reality display, ventilation holes may be formed in the screen case. However, since light can be directly introduced from the outside through the ventilation hole, a first ventilation hole is formed in the inner wall of the screen cylinder of the double wall structure, and a second ventilation hole is formed in the outer wall. In order to prevent the first ventilation hole and the second ventilation hole from overlapping each other That is, shifted, so that light can not be directly introduced from the outside.

Since the screen and the distance adjustment member only effectively block external light for immersion, it is possible to partially open the line which does not undermine the original function, in addition to completely blocking the main body and the eyepiece plate.

In order to more realistically realize the virtual reality function, the mobile communication terminal may further include a fixing member capable of fixing the mobile phone in a separated state to the user's face. The fastening member may be provided in various forms such as an earring form of a conventional mask, a hook portion of a spectacle, a helmet mount or an elastic band.

The virtual reality mobile phone of the present invention may further include a rear cover that opens and closes the eyepiece plate and the rear surface of the main body in a state in which the eyepiece plate is in close contact with the eyepiece plate. In addition to protecting the eyepiece plate, the rear cover may further include an odor generating unit that generates a specific odor in cooperation with the contents of the virtual reality, or a wind generating unit that generates wind.

The virtual reality mobile phone according to the present invention can integrate a general mobile phone and a virtual reality module into a portable mobile structure, thereby realizing a virtual reality function regardless of place and time. The functions that can be implemented by the virtual reality function are increased and the convenience of the user can be improved because there is no need to carry a separate auxiliary device as in the prior art.

In addition, since the main body is reversibly mounted in the main frame, it is possible to use both as a general monitor and a virtual reality monitor as a single display.

Further, it is possible to form a structure that can maintain the eyepiece plate at a variable length from the cellular phone with the screen and the distance adjusting member, and simultaneously realize the light blocking screen function for blocking the inflow of external light with the same structure, , High-quality slide movement and rigidity can be obtained at the same time.

Such a feature can be obtained by forming the screen cylinder into a double wall, thereby achieving an effect of doubling, and further enhancing the user's convenience through the formation of the deflected air vents and the lightweight structure.
