Title:
ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH FOLDING CAMERA
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3880573
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable an act of a camera activation to be easily noticed by surrounding people when the camera is activated in a state where an electronic device is folded.
SOLUTION: A folding mobile phone with camera 10 is provided with at least an antenna extension time detection circuit 8 detecting the extension time of an antenna 5 when the antenna 5 is extended, based on a detection signal outputted from an antenna extension/housing state detection circuit 7 detecting an extension state or a housing state of the antenna 5; a mobile phone open state/close state detection circuit 9 detecting an opening state where the mobile phone 10 is not folded, or the close state where the mobile phone 10 is folded based on the detection signal outputted from the antenna extension time detection circuit 8; and a shutter key control circuit 11 controlling a shutter key 6 activating a camera 5, so as to be able to move when the mobile phone 10 is in the close state based on the detection signal outputted from the mobile phone open state/close state detection circuit 9.
