Recently, a mobile phone patent submitted by vivo to the World Property Organization was exposed. In the patent, the camera of the mobile phone adopts a lifting design. After it is lifted, the camera can be disassembled and used as a drone to shoot.
It is reported that the patent was submitted to the International Bureau of the International Property Organization by Vivo Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. on February 25, 2020, and was made public on July 30, 20021.
According to the description of vivo, with the improvement of user demand, the screen ratio of electronic devices such as mobile phones is getting higher and higher. In order to obtain more extreme full-screen effect, many electronic devices begin to adopt lift camera module.
However, the current lifting camera module can only work on the rising electronic equipment, and the shooting function is effective, so it is impossible to achieve long-distance shooting. In addition, users still need to hold electronic devices in the process of shooting, and the shooting angle can be adjusted by adjusting their body posture, so the flexibility is poor.
Therefore, the patent applied by vivo improves the structure of the lifting camera module of electronic equipment in the prior art, so that the electronic equipment is equipped with a flying camera. After the lifting camera module rises, it can be easily detached from the equipment, which greatly improves the flexibility of shooting with flying camera.
Letsgodigital made a patented renderings for this brain-opening idea. As can be seen from the figure, the patented lifting camera module is very large, occupying almost the whole top of the mobile phone.
When the lift camera module rises, it contains an airplane with four propellers. The plane contains at least two cameras and three infrared sensors. The function of infrared sensor seems to be to prevent the plane from colliding with other objects.
Judging from the current design, the UAV should be controlled by a mobile phone, and when the camera module is inside the mobile phone, it should be able to be charged by the battery of the mobile phone.
Allcent, I look forward to working with you to complete the final product of this pioneering work!
