JP3078544U - Magnifier for mobile phones - Google Patents

Abstract

(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] To operate a portable telephone, it is difficult for a person with low vision or a person with presbyopia to operate because the characters on the screen of the telephone and the characters on buttons are small and difficult to see. SOLUTION: A magnifying device having a plastic magnifying glass and a magnifying glass mounting tool is mounted on a display screen and an operation surface of a portable telephone. The magnifier mount is characterized by having an antenna-type or collapsible support for raising and moving the plastic magnifier to the focal point.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a magnifying device mounted on a portable telephone.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A conventional enlargement device for a portable telephone has been disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-174865 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-174866.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 When operating a mobile phone, it is difficult for people with low vision or presbyopia to operate because the letters on the phone screen and the letters on the buttons are too small to be seen. The disclosed technology, for example, the invention described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-174865, has a mechanism for holding a convex lens on one side by a pair of holding tools and a through hole. Since the holder protrudes above and below the telephone when stored, there is a problem that portability is poor and operability is poor such that it is difficult to use it with one hand because it is structured to rotate the lens. Also, the invention described in JP-A-2000-174866 has a problem that the operation buttons cannot be enlarged because the lens is only the display screen portion. In view of the above, the present invention provides a magnifying device that solves the problems in the previous term and has good operability and portability when operating a portable telephone so that the display screen and operation buttons can be easily seen.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is to mount a magnifying glass made of plastic and a magnifying device having a magnifying glass mounting tool on a display screen and an operation surface of a portable telephone. The magnifier mount raises and moves the plastic magnifier to the focal point. It has an antenna-type or folding-type support.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on embodiments with reference to the drawings. Embodiment 1 Embodiment 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. An antenna-type supporter in which four extendable antenna-type supports 3 are attached to a mounting device 5 continuous on the back and side surfaces of the portable telephone body 1 and a plastic magnifying glass 2 is fixed to the end of the expandable portion. As long as the number 3 is one or more, the plastic magnifier 2 can be held, and the number can be used as needed.

The plastic magnifier is desirably smaller than the mobile phone main body 1, large enough to cover the entire operation surface, and thin. When not in use, the antenna-type support 3 is stored in a contracted state, and the plastic magnifying mirror 2 is stored close to the telephone body, so there is no inconvenience in carrying.

Next, the operation of the portable telephone will be described with reference to FIG. Pull up the plastic magnifier 2 until it is in focus. The antenna support 3 is extended and fixed at the focal point. The display screen and the operation surface of the telephone, which are observed through the plastic magnifying glass 2, are enlarged, so that even a user with low visual acuity can easily identify the operation screen and the operation buttons, and can perform quick and reliable operation.

(Embodiment 2) An embodiment in which a support for a plastic magnifying glass is folded will be described with reference to FIGS. The plastic magnifying glass 2 is connected to a mounting device 5 using the back and side surfaces of the portable telephone main body 1 and a folding support device 4. The magnifying glass 2 made of plastic is supported by the telephone body 1 at four points.

When the telephone is not used, the folding support 4 is carried in a folded state. Since the plastic magnifying glass 2 is made smaller than the telephone body 1, there is no inconvenience in carrying.

When operating the telephone, the foldable support 4 is stretched, and the plastic magnifier 2 is fixed where the focus is achieved. The operation surface of the telephone, which is observed through the plastic magnifying glass 2, is enlarged, so that even a user with low visual acuity can easily identify the operation screen and the operation buttons, thereby enabling quick and reliable operation.

[0011]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. By attaching a plastic magnifier to a mobile phone, the operating surface of the telephone, which is raised to the focal point and observed through the plastic magnifier, is enlarged, allowing people with low vision or presbyopia to use the operation screen and operation buttons. Identification becomes easy, and quick and reliable operation becomes possible.
