The camera can swing around an axis and is provided with a fixed mounted objective lens. Shoot in the direction of alignment. Such a rotatable or swingable camera installed in a mobile radio device can, for example, reproduce a user of the mobile radio device itself in a video conference or take a file with other rotatable or swingable cameras Or environment. In the prior art, in order to automatically turn on and off the camera and to rotate or map the image when the situation requires (at this time, if the camera is swung backwards, the object cannot be statically imaged on the head), it must be automatically Identify the location of the camera. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a position recognition. Such a device has been sold on the market, and the software in the device is used to manually switch the camera according to the camera position. Microswitches are used in other known devices for position identification. Another manual process is required to perform the above-mentioned switching manually, which must be performed by the operator, so it is usually forgotten. The use of micro switches is an expensive mechanical solution. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile radio device of the above-mentioned form, in which the position of the camera can be recognized and calculated by using a simple element. The above-mentioned object of the present invention is achieved in the following manner: at least one concentric slip ring is arranged in a fixed position relationship to the camera housing or to the mobile radio device housing, wherein at least one slip ring has an electrical丨 the main interruption effect; by a collector contact area arranged in a fixed position relationship to the camera housing or to the exterior of the mobile radio device, when the collector contact area is in contact with the collector ring, Make the current loop open or close 'so that the spatial position of each contact rail can be identified, so the position of the camera can also be identified and the results can continue to be transmitted to a computing device. By using a slip ring with a simple structure and a slip contact area with a simple structure, the position of the camera can be reliably identified in the above mobile device. Embodiments A suitable configuration of the present invention is described in the appended items of the scope of patent application and in two embodiments shown in the subsequent drawings. First of all, it must be pointed out that only the components of the mobile radio device required for understanding the present invention are shown in the drawings. In the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the specific camera 1 is connected to the disc 3 via a rotary joint 2. The arrangement consisting of the camera 1, the rotary joint 2 and the disc 3 moves relative to the remaining mobile radio casing 6 when the camera 1 is swung. On the disc 3, three concentric arc-shaped contact rails 4a, 4b, and 4c are arranged, which are arranged in a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the camera. Each contact rail must be formed so as to cover the camera's swing area. The contact rail 4 c is constructed in a continuous manner from 7 to 200400753, and an interruption area is provided between the contact rails 4 a and 4 b. It can be easily known from the figure that if the contact rails 4 a and 4 c or the contact rails 4 b and 4 c are measured by the collector contact area 5 of the two poles, the position of the camera can be identified. If a conductive connection area is formed between the contact rails 4a and 4c via the collector contact area 5, it can be recognized that the objective lens of the camera is directed in the first direction. Conversely, if a contact area is formed between the contact rails 4b and 4c, it can be recognized that the objective lens of the camera is directed in the second direction. If a contact area is formed between the contact rail 4 a or the contact rail 4 b and the contact rail 4 c, it can be inferred that the camera's objective lens is pointing in a direction where no taking is necessary and the camera is in an operating state. The camera is off. Figures 3 and 4 show a second embodiment of a mobile radio device according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the current collecting rings are arranged as arc-shaped contact rails 9 a, 9 b, and 9 c, which are arranged in a plane located on the periphery of the rotation axis of the camera 7, wherein the arc-shaped section It must also cover the active wobble area of the camera 7 so that the first signal can be sent through the collector contact area 10. If the objective lens of the camera 7 points in the first direction, for example, when the contact rail 9 a and When a connection is formed between 9c; and if the objective lens of the camera 7 points in the second direction, that is, when an electrical connection is formed between the contact rails 9b and 9c, a second output signal is issued. In the embodiment of the mobile radio device of the present invention, the arc-shaped section of the slip ring can be adjusted according to individual needs. For example, the total angle can be 180, but it can also be selected to be larger or smaller. -8- 200400753 In addition, the size of the interruption area between the two slip rings 4a and 4b and the size of the interruption area between the slip rings 9a and 9b can be appropriately selected, which is based on the specific characteristics of the camera. Select the size of the ingestion area. Brief Description of Drawings Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views of a first embodiment of a mobile radio device according to the present invention. Figures 3 and 4 are perspective views of a second embodiment of a mobile radio device according to the present invention.
