International Classification:

H04N 5/225

US Classification:

34820799, 348375

Abstract:

A combination mobile terminal and camera with multiple light apertures in the housing. One aperture is disposed on a front side of the housing while another aperture is disposed on a rear side of the housing. The device has an image sensor disposed within the housing for converting images formed by light directed onto the image sensor into electrical signals. The device also has a movable optical system for selectively directing light passing through one of the light apertures onto the image sensor. The device also includes an image processor coupled to an output of the image sensor for processing the electrical signals from the image sensor to produce image signals. The device also has a position detector to detect the position of the movable optics and for directing the image processor to invert the images as needed.

International Classification:

H04M 1/00

US Classification:

4555751, 4555561, 348373, 37943313

Abstract:

A combination mobile terminal and camera comprising a housing and a camera device integrated into a first portion of the housing. The camera device and the first portion of the housing in which the camera is integrated are moveable between a first position where the first portion of the housing is substantially aligned with a remaining second portion of the housing and a second misaligned position. In the first position, the camera may be oriented substantially parallel to a keypad, keyboard, or display in the housing. Individual buttons of a keypad on the housing may be used to control mobile terminal functions in one mode and camera functions in another mode. Certain individual buttons of the keypad may be rotatable with the camera. The alignment of the camera is such that it is possible to add additional optical elements to the optical path.
