International Classification:

H04N 5/232

Abstract:

An operationally dependent external camera system for use with a portable computer device. The system includes a portable computer device, a camera, and an operation cord. The camera may include a lens, image sensor, circuit board, microphone, and control unit. The operation cord is coupled between the camera and the portable computer device to continuously transmit both data and electrical power between the portable computer device and the camera thereby making the camera operationally dependent on the portable computer device.
