Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
93 words
A portable telephone with a camera comprising: a main body having a control panel installed on a front face of said main body and
a rotation-support part formed in an upper end of said main body; a folder having a display panel and a speaker installed on a front face of said
folder and having a connecting part formed in a low end of said folder, said connecting
part being rotatably coupled to outer sides of said rotation-support part; and a camera module being rotatably coupled to inner sides of said rotation-support
parts.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
33 words
The portable telephone in claim 1, wherein a method of lock-in position, located
between said camera module and said rotation-support part, is provided to fix said
camera module in a desired rotational position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The portable telephone in claim 1, wherein a rotational axis of said camera module
is inserted not being aligned with a rotating axis of said folder.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
The portable telephone in claim 1, wherein a hole for said folder, fitting a
connecting part of said folder, is formed outside of said rotation-support part and a
hole for fitting said camera module is formed inside of said rotation-support part for
rotational movements.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
The portable telephone in claim 4, wherein inside of said rotation-support is formed
with an air gap providing a space for flexible signal cables to be installed.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
The portable telephone in claim 4, wherein inside of said connecting part is formed
with an air gap which provides a space for flexible signal cables to be installed.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
46 words
The portable telephone in claim 4, wherein said camera module made as a roughly
cylindrical shape is capable of being rotated in full 360 degrees and at least one of
rotational axes installed on both sides of said camera module is formed with air gap
inside.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
57 words
The portable telephone in claim 2, wherein said method of lock-in position, installed
on one side of said camera module, comprising: an elastic sub-part producing an elasticity caused by being rotated simultaneously
with said camera module; and a bushing fixed inside of said rotation-support part producing a strength to
transform said elasticity when said camera module rotating.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
The portable telephone in claim 8, wherein one side of said elastic sub-part has a
protrusion formed as a plate shape.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
57 words
The portable telephone in claim 9, wherein a circumference of said elastic sub-part
is partially cut open for being rotated as an embodied with said camera module and
one side of said camera module is formed by a first concave part fitting said elastic
sub-part, said first concave part matched with a shape of said elastic sub-part.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
26 words
The portable telephone in claim 10, wherein some portion of said first concave part
becomes more subsided resulting in a formation of a second concave part.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
60 words
The portable telephone in claim 9, wherein said bushing comprises a roughly plate
shape of a contacting part and a boss as an embodied of said contacting part, said
rotation-support part formed by a subsided connecting part, a contacting part of said
bushing settled down in said connecting part, and said boss fit in a hole for said
camera module.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
25 words
The portable telephone in claim 12, wherein said contacting part of said bushing is
formed by grooves matched with the protrusion on said elastic sub-part.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
47 words
The portable telephone in claim 13, wherein a circumference of said contacting part
of said bushing is partially cut open and said connecting part of said rotation-support
part is almost identical to a shape of said contacting part, for having said bushing
fixed on said rotation-support part.
