Description

Laptop

This case relates to an electronic product, and in particular to a laptop computer with multiple lenses.

Existing laptops are usually equipped with only one built-in camera facing the user for video conferencing or selfies. However, laptops with a single camera have limitations in use. When recording teaching videos, they can only record images in one direction, and cannot capture the teacher on the stage and the students in the audience at the same time. In a multi-person meeting, a single camera can only display participants in a single direction and cannot provide a panoramic view of the conference room. If you want to increase the shooting range of the laptop, you need to install an external camera lens, which makes it inconvenient to carry and assemble.

In addition, when using a video call with existing laptops, it is impossible for people at the opposite viewing angle to know that the user is in a meeting, which may disrupt the meeting.

The invention provides a notebook computer combined with a multi-lens camera module, which has a panoramic photography angle and realizes the shielding purpose through a solid structure.

The notebook computer of the present invention comprises a first body, a second body, a camera module and a baffle. The second body has a first side and a second side opposite to each other and a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end is rotatably connected to the first body and has a receiving groove. The receiving groove has an inner wall surface, and the inner wall surface is adjacent to the first side. The camera module is movably arranged in the receiving groove of the second body and has a first lens and a second lens. The first lens is located on a side facing the second body, and the second lens faces the second side. The baffle is arranged in the receiving groove and is adjacent to the second side. When the camera module is located in the receiving groove, the first lens and the second lens are located between the inner wall surface and the baffle plate, the first lens is shielded by the inner wall surface, and the second lens is shielded by the baffle plate. When the camera module protrudes from the receiving groove, the baffle plate is exposed.

Based on the above, the laptop computer of the present invention has a camera module that can move along the second body, and the camera module can be switched to a shielding mode or a shooting mode manually or electrically.

In the shielding mode, the camera module is located in the receiving slot, the first lens is aligned with an inner wall of the receiving slot and the second lens is aligned with the baffle, and the camera module (the first lens and the second lens) is shielded by the physical structure (the inner wall and the baffle), so that even if the laptop is not turned off, it can prevent hackers from intruding and leaking privacy, and there is no need to install an additional shield.

In the shooting mode, the camera module protrudes out of the receiving groove, the first lens is positioned on the inner wall of the receiving groove and the second lens is positioned on the baffle, and the first lens and the second lens respectively shoot the front and rear of the second body to achieve the effect of a panoramic shooting angle.

1A, 1B and 2A, 2B, the notebook computer 100 of the present invention includes a first body 110, a second body 120, a camera module 130 and a baffle 140.

The first body 110 is, for example, a host computer and is used to install various electronic components such as a central processing unit, a display chip, a storage device, and a memory. The second body 120 has a first side S1 and a second side S2 opposite to each other and a first end E1 and a second end E2 opposite to each other. The first end E1 is rotatably connected to the first body 110, and the second end E2 has a receiving groove AG. The receiving groove AG has an inner wall surface IS and two opposite side surfaces DS, and the inner wall surface IS is adjacent to the first side S1. The second body 120 is suitable for rotating relative to the first body 110 to switch between an open state and a closed state. In addition, the second body 120 is installed with a display panel or a touch panel to output images and texts or input commands through touch.

The camera module 130 is movably disposed in the receiving groove AG of the second body 120 and has a first lens 131 and a second lens 132. The first lens 131 is located at the first side S1 facing the second body 120, that is, facing the inner wall surface IS. The second lens 132 is located at the second side S2 facing the second body 120, that is, away from the inner wall surface IS. The baffle 140 is disposed in the receiving groove AG and adjacent to the second side S2 of the second body 120, that is, the baffle 140 is adjacent to the second lens 132.

2A to 2C , when the camera module 130 is located in the receiving groove AG, the first lens 131 and the second lens 132 are located between the inner wall surface IS and the baffle 140, that is, the camera module 130 is lowered into the receiving groove AG and switched to the shielding mode, the first lens 131 is aligned with the inner wall surface IS of the receiving groove AG and is shielded by the inner wall surface IS, and the second lens 132 is aligned with the baffle 140 and is shielded by the baffle 140. In the shielding mode, the first lens 131 and the second lens 132 are shielded by the inner wall surface IS and the baffle 140, respectively, to prevent privacy leakage.

1A to 1C , when the camera module 130 protrudes from the receiving groove AG, the baffle 140 is exposed. Specifically, the camera module 130 rises from the receiving groove AG and switches to the shooting mode, so that part of the baffle 140 is displayed on the second side S2 of the second body 120, the first lens 131 is misplaced on the inner wall surface IS of the receiving groove AG, and the second lens 132 is misplaced on the baffle 140. In the shooting mode, the first lens 131 and the second lens 132 are respectively separated from the inner wall surface IS and the baffle 140, thereby synchronously shooting the scenes in front of and behind the second body 120. In addition, the first lens 131 and the second lens 132 are parallel to each other but have opposite shooting angles, so that a panoramic photography effect can be achieved.

1A to 1D, the camera module 130 has a sliding cover 133, which can be lifted and lowered in the receiving groove AG of the second body 120 and has a first opening H1 and a second opening H2. The first lens 131 and the second lens 132 are fixed in the sliding cover 133 and are aligned with the first opening H1 and the second opening H2 respectively. In addition, the first opening H1 and the second opening H2 are cone-shaped, so that the first lens 131 and the second lens 132 receive more ambient light, which is conducive to improving the clarity of the captured image.

1C and 1D , the sliding cover 133 is adapted to slide upward along the receiving groove AG, driving the first opening H1 and the first lens 131 to be positioned on the inner wall surface IS and the second opening H2 and the second lens 132 to be positioned on the baffle 140. Therefore, the first lens 131 and the second lens 132 are adapted to shoot front and rear angles through the first opening H1 and the second opening H2, respectively.

2C and 2D , the sliding cover 133 is adapted to slide downward along the receiving groove AG, driving the first opening H1 and the first lens 131 toward the inner wall surface IS, and the baffle 140 is located between the second opening H2 and the second lens 132. Thus, the first lens 131 and the first opening H1 are blocked by the inner wall surface IS, and the baffle 140 blocks the light channel between the second lens 132 and the second opening H2.

Referring to FIG. 1D and FIG. 2D , the baffle 140 has a mounting portion 141, an indicating portion 142, and a color block 143. The mounting portion 141 is disposed in the second body 120 and is fixed to the second body 120 by locking, snapping, or bonding to ensure that the baffle 140 does not deviate. The indicating portion 142 is formed on the mounting portion 141 and extends to the receiving groove AG. Furthermore, the indicating portion 142 is parallel to the inner wall surface IS of the receiving groove AG and is located in the sliding cover 133. The indicating portion 142 is, for example, red or other colors with a warning effect. The color block 143 is formed on a side of the indicating portion 142 facing the sliding cover 133.

1C and 1D , when the camera module 130 protrudes from the receiving groove AG, the sliding cover 133 partially reveals the indicator portion 142 , and a red indicator portion 142 appears on the second side S2 of the second body 120 , thereby reminding the user that the user is in a meeting state.

2C and 2D , when the camera module 130 is located in the receiving groove AG, the sliding cover 133 drives the second lens 132 to descend, and the indicator portion 142 covers the second lens 132 and the color block 143 corresponds to the second opening H2, wherein the color of the color block 143 is the same as the color of the sliding cover 133, thereby maintaining the consistency of the appearance of the sliding cover 133 and preventing the red indicator portion 142 from being displayed in the second opening H2.

3A and 3B are schematic rear plan views of the laptop computers of FIG. 1B and FIG. 2B , respectively.

3A and 3B , the notebook computer 100 includes a plurality of first magnetic members 150 and a plurality of second magnetic members 160. The plurality of first magnetic members 150 are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the slide cover 133 of the camera module 130, and the plurality of second magnetic members 160 are respectively disposed at opposite side surfaces DS of the receiving groove AG. Each second magnetic member 160 partially overlaps each first magnetic member 150 and magnetically repels each other, that is, the N pole of each second magnetic member 160 corresponds to the N pole of each first magnetic member 150 or the S pole of each second magnetic member 160 corresponds to the S pole of each first magnetic member 150.

Referring to FIG. 3A , when the camera module 130 is located in the receiving groove AG, a first horizontal height A1 of each first magnetic member 150 relative to the second body 120 is less than a second horizontal height A2 of each second magnetic member 160 relative to the second body 120, and there is a repulsive magnetic force between each first magnetic member 150 and each second magnetic member 160, so that the sliding cover 133 is limited between the two opposite side surfaces DS of the receiving groove AG.

Referring to FIG. 3B , when the camera module 130 protrudes from the receiving groove AG, the first horizontal height A1 of each first magnetic member 150 relative to the second body 120 is greater than the second horizontal height A2 of each second magnetic member 160 relative to the second body 120, and there is a repulsive magnetic force between each first magnetic member 150 and each second magnetic member 160, so that the sliding cover 133 maintains protruding above the receiving groove AG.

In summary, the laptop computer of the present invention has a camera module that can move along the second body, and the camera module can be switched to a shielding mode or a shooting mode manually or electrically. In the shielding mode, the camera module is located in the receiving slot, the first lens is aligned with an inner wall of the receiving slot, and the second lens is aligned with the baffle, and the camera module (the first lens and the second lens) is shielded by the physical structure (the inner wall and the baffle), so that even if the laptop computer is not turned off, it can prevent hackers from intruding and leaking privacy, and there is no need to install an additional shield. In the shooting mode, the camera module protrudes out of the receiving groove and exposes the baffle plate to have a prompt effect. If the first lens is incorrectly positioned on the inner wall surface of the receiving groove and the second lens is incorrectly positioned on the baffle plate, the first lens and the second lens will respectively shoot the front and rear of the second body to achieve a panoramic shooting effect.

Furthermore, the laptop computer of the present invention places the camera module independently in the groove of the second body, replacing the previous design of embedding it in the casing, which can further reduce the thickness of the second body and achieve the purpose of being thin and light. Since the camera module is installed on the second side of the second body, the border size of the top of the second body can be reduced, which is conducive to increasing the display screen ratio.
