Mobile phone device, which includes a transceiver for the sub-bands 1-2 GHz (GSM), 2-1 GHz (UMTS), 3.4-3.8 GHz; 4.4-4.9 GHz, 24.5-29.5 GHz, 4G, 5G, LTE bands using SIM card subscriber identification and wireless LAN. The device is used as a transceiver for telephone communication and for recording, receiving and transmitting information in the form of photo and video images. The disadvantage of this device is that when recording, receiving and transmitting information in the form of photo and video images, it is limited to a frame coverage range of up to 123 degrees and cannot transmit and display photos and video images beyond 123 degrees synchronously without using special programs, and even more so in the real-time on three screens (displays) at once with a viewing angle of 360 degrees (patent of the US Patent and Trademark Office USPTO D504,889 Apple Inc, 2004).

The disadvantage of this device is that when recording, receiving and transmitting information in the form of photo and video images, the frame coverage range is limited to 123 degrees and cannot transmit, reproduce and display photos and video images beyond 123 degrees synchronously without using special programs, and even more so in real time simultaneously on three flexible display screens at once with different viewing angles of 360 degrees.

There is also known a method of transmitting and receiving information with the formation of a three-dimensional color video image and a device for creating a virtual reality effect for a user (RF patent "Eurasian patent" No. 037243, 2014). The method involves the use of a transmitting and receiving teleport station, using large screens and video cameras to create the effect of a full surround presence with a sound field and video review. The disadvantage of this invention is that the devices for implementing this method are not mobile and difficult to use in everyday life.

Known existing mobile communication systems, such as, for example, on the sub-bands 1-2 GHz (GSM), 2-1 GHz (UMTS), 3.4-3.8 GHz; 4.4-4.9 GHz, 24.5-29.5 GHz, 4G, 5G, LTE bands using SIM card subscriber identification and via a wireless local area network, proposed for receiving and transmitting information between mobile devices 360, have been created and successfully operate, covering the whole world. Therefore, this technical solution is suitable for industrial and commercial applications. Known sources of patent and other scientific and technical information have not identified mobile devices with four touch screens, a large flexible display and six cameras with different viewing angles, with the entire set of essential features indicated in the proposal, therefore this technical solution meets the criterion of "novelty".

A comparative analysis of the proposed technical solution with known similar inventions showed that the presence of a set of screens (displays) and cameras, with interactive control of their operation by the user of the transmitted information, leads to the emergence of new technical qualities, in particular, the following:

- design improvement achieved due to the use of a whole set of screens instead of one or two screens (displays), namely three screens changing the angle of rotation from 0 further plus 45 to 180 and minus 45 degrees to each other minus 65 degrees);

- design improvement achieved by using instead of one or several cameras located in one plane, a whole set of cameras, namely six cameras changing the viewing angle from 123 degrees to 360 degrees, with a rotation angle from 0 to plus 45 degrees, interactively controlled by the user through a mobile device capable of recognizing his commands by voice and gestures;

- expansion of functionality, achieved due to the possibility of changing the direction of shooting, by means of programmed automatic sequential switching of the broadcast on the image screen from one camera to another;

- creation of a three-dimensional image with stereo sound, which is achieved by simultaneous reception and processing of signals from all cameras, and this means a transition to a new generation of mobile devices with a new way of transmitting and receiving images.

Based on the proposed 360 mobile device with four screens, one external and one internal flexible displays, with six cameras and additional wide-angle cameras, flashlights, a microphone and sound speakers, designed to record, store, receive and transmit information with a 360-degree viewing angle, also numerous modifications are possible, in particular, in terms of size, shape, quantity, quality, type of screens, cameras, their spatial orientation. Modification options depend on the specifics of the scope of use of the proposed technology: when conducting video conferencing, on issues or in the field of education, health care, television, tourism, entertainment, military affairs, however, all modifications are within the framework of the proposed technical solution.
