Mobile phone patent trend

1 This month hasn't finished yet. Xiaomi's various exposures are like chicken blood one after another. I believe that many people have not recovered from the exposure of Xiaomi's wireless charging technology these days, and another new patent of Xiaomi is already waving to everyone.

Everyone knows that the style of the screen will always be affected by the existence of the camera, and the appearance of various screens such as water drop screen and Liu Haiping is also due to the need of camera shooting. Until 2020, the appearance of the off-screen camera technology can be regarded as saving the appearance of the full screen, but anyone who knows the off-screen camera technology knows that this only hides the camera and is still on the screen when needed. So can we achieve a full screen in the true sense?

Xiaomi gave a brand-new approach-a mobile phone with a detachable rear camera. Yes, you heard me right. This patent of Xiaomi can be seen in the new patent applied by the World Intellectual Property Organization. I have to say that the brain holes of mobile phone manufacturers are really big, but it is these brain holes that make our life more convenient.

According to the patent, the rear camera module developed by Xiaomi has multiple lenses, which can be detached from it and assembled into a front camera. This technology of Xiaomi turns the camera into an independent component similar to an earphone, and the connection mode with the mobile phone should be magnetic and fixed connectors in design. As for the data interaction with the mobile phone, there is no clear information in the patent, and it should be wireless connection or plug connection.

Although the appearance of this technology ensures the realization of the full screen, it undoubtedly poses a great challenge to the waterproof and dustproof of the mobile phone, because as can be seen from the patent drawing, the whole mobile phone has two camera connection slots on the back and top, and the back of the mobile phone is still slotted. Whether to put a camera module in it is a big problem for the dustproof function. Moreover, each card slot has two connectors, which makes it more difficult to clean the stains on the mobile phone.

Coupled with the popularity of the mobile phone case, it is a good idea to disassemble the rear camera, but I am afraid that not many people will disassemble the rear camera and put it on the top of the mobile phone, which will inevitably cost extra money to buy a separate camera module as a front camera. Moreover, due to the protrusion of the top camera module, it will be inconvenient to carry. If the camera is removed, it is a big problem to carry and keep it.

After all, the camera module must be a small style with a lens on it. You must not store it casually. If you accidentally lose it, the cost of buying it separately may make many people secretly bite their teeth.

Of course, it doesn't mean it's not good. Because the camera is a detachable module, in fact, there are fewer front cameras, which will reduce the price of mobile phones. The independence of the camera means that we can upgrade the phone manually-buy a higher pixel camera for the phone.

And in the case of the same manufacturer, it is inevitable that a camera can be connected to a variety of mobile phones. Then, if we only have special needs for taking pictures of mobile phones, we can choose a relatively low-priced mobile phone, and then we just need to install our own high-pixel camera on it.

Of course, no one can really explain the pros and cons of these things before this mobile phone really comes out. After all, when the touch-screen mobile phone first came out, countless people in the industry ridiculed it wave after wave, but now everyone should be aware of the development of mobile phones.
