Generally speaking, at first glance, the appearance of this mobile phone is not much different from that of ordinary smart phones now, but the magic of this mobile phone lies in the built-in very miniature quadrotor drone with a camera. The usage of this micro drone is to let it slide out of the main body of the mobile phone and then fly in mid-air to provide users with a better self-portrait angle.
Yes, that's right. In this new patent, a micro drone with a camera is inserted into a mobile phone to assist in self-photographing. It can also be seen that the front of the mobile phone in this patent is a full screen, so this micro drone with camera is a front camera processing solution used by vivo to replace digging holes and bangs. When the user needs to take a selfie, he can take this micro drone out and control the selfie through the mobile phone. And from the patent drawing, we can see that in addition to the basic configuration of dual camera system, four propellers and an extra battery, this micro drone actually has three infrared proximity sensors, which can avoid obstacles autonomously.
But in fact, the design of this built-in micro UAV still has some shortcomings. The first and most obvious thing is that such a small micro drone will be very easy to lose, and once it is lost, it will definitely be more expensive to buy a new micro drone. Without a drone, I don't know if it will affect my opponent's chances. Moreover, the stability and wind resistance of such a compact micro UAV are very poor. Will the imaging quality be really good? Finally, there is one more question. If the micro drone is put into the mobile phone, even if the drone is made smaller, it will definitely increase the thickness of the mobile phone.
But this idea is really interesting, so I don't know if it can come true.
