Description
본 발명은 카메라가 장착된 휴대폰에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 단말기 본체에 구비된 카메라를 회전가능하게 구성하여 폴더가 열리거나 닫혀 있을때 모두 촬영이 가능하며, 다양한 각도에서 용이하게 촬영할 수 있는 회전용 카메라 모듈이 장착된 휴대용 단말기에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a mobile phone equipped with a camera, and more specifically, by rotatable configuration of the camera provided in the terminal body can be taken both when the folder is open or closed, the rotation can be easily taken from various angles It relates to a portable terminal equipped with a camera module.
근래에 들어와서, 휴대용 단말기는 소비자의 욕구에 맞추어 초소형화, 다기능화 추세로 발전되어 가고 있다.In recent years, portable terminals have been developed into miniaturization and multifunction in accordance with consumer needs.
이러한 휴대용단말기의 기능에 맞추어, 카메라가 장착된 휴대폰도 개발되어 점차 그 사용이 증가하고 있다.In accordance with the functions of such a portable terminal, a mobile phone equipped with a camera has also been developed and its use is gradually increasing.
종래의 카메라가 장착된 휴대폰은 본체와 폴더를 연결하는 힌지부분에 카메라렌즈를 장착하거나, 별도의 카메라장치를 이어폰잭을 매개로 폴더 측면에 결합하여 사용하는 것이 일반적이다.In the conventional mobile phone equipped with a camera, it is common to mount a camera lens on a hinge portion connecting the main body and a folder, or to use a separate camera device coupled to a folder side via an earphone jack.
그러나, 전자의 힌지부분에 카메라렌즈를 장착하는 경우에는 휴대폰 가로폭 사이즈가 커지기 때문에 전체적인 크기와 형태에 비해 힌지부분이 두꺼워지게 되어 외관상 미적 감각이 저하되고 있으며, 회전시키면서 양방향을 촬영가능하도록 하려면 촬영을 위한 별도의 공간이 마련되어야 하기 때문에 디자인 설계상 많은 제약이 따르는 문제점이 있었다.However, when the camera lens is mounted on the hinge part of the former, the width of the mobile phone becomes larger, so the hinge part becomes thicker than the overall size and shape, and the aesthetic sense of the appearance is deteriorated. Since there is a separate space for the design had a problem that many restrictions in design design.
후자의 카메라장치를 휴대폰 측면에 장착하는 경우에는 별도의 이어폰잭을 휴대하여 촬영시마다 이를 부착해야 하고 사진 촬영을 위해서는 폴더가 2방향으로 회전되야 하므로 구조가 복잡해지고 사용의 편의성에 있어서 다소 문제점이 있었다.When the latter camera device is mounted on the side of the mobile phone, a separate earphone jack must be attached every time the camera is taken, and the folder must be rotated in two directions for taking a picture, which is complicated in structure and somewhat convenient in use. .
본 발명은, 상기한 바와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 제안된 것으로, 본체와 폴더로 이루어진 휴대폰에 있어서, 카메라가 폴더의 힌지와 액정모듈(LCD Module) 사이에 원통형으로 형성된 카메라 모듈을 장착하여, 카메라 모듈이 상/하 양측면 방향으로 소정 각도로 회전가능하도록 지지하여 양방향/다각도에서 촬영이 가능하도록 함과 동시에, 디자인 설계에 구애받지 않는 회정용 카메라 모듈이 장착된 휴대용 단말기를 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems, in the mobile phone consisting of the main body and the folder, the camera is equipped with a camera module formed in a cylindrical shape between the hinge of the folder and the LCD module, the camera The purpose of the present invention is to provide a portable terminal equipped with a rotating camera module irrespective of the design design while supporting the module to be rotatable at a predetermined angle in both up and down directions so as to allow shooting in both directions and multiple angles. .
