CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. � 119(a), this application claims the benefit of earlier filing date and right of priority to Korean Application No. 89450/2004, filed on Nov. 4, 2004, the contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to a mobile communication device, and specifically to a flip-type mobile handset device having a speaker unit configured to allow a user to listen to high quality sound, such as music, regardless of the open or closed configuration of the handset. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] A mobile communication device, such as a mobile handset, is a wireless mobile communication device that a user may use anywhere and which may be conveniently carried. The number of users of mobile handset terminals is rapidly increasing and the usable range of such devices also has expanded. [0006] Initially, mobile handset devices had only voice transmission and reception functions. However, as the usable range expanded, mobile handset devices have been developed to incorporate various functions, such as transmission of text messages and various information, wireless access to the Internet and multimedia functions. [0007] Furthermore, the latest mobile handset devices are able to download various sound information, such as music, from a computer and reproduce the downloaded music. In order to reproduce a sound close the original sound, the mobile handset devices are provided with a high quality speaker. [0008] FIG. 1 illustrates a structure of a conventional folder-type mobile handset device configured to reproduce music or other sounds. The mobile handset device 1 includes a main body 10 having a main PCB (Printed Circuit Board) therein (not shown) and a folder part 20 hingedly connected to the main body 10. A first keypad 13 for inputting various characters and number information is provided at an inner surface 11 of the main body 10 and a second keypad 15, including various control keys and communication and power keys, is provided above the first keypad 13. A main display 25 for displaying characters and images is provided at an inner surface 21 of the folder part 20, and an auxiliary display (not shown) is provided at an outer surface 22 of the folder part 20. A voice (sound) output unit 27 for outputting the voice of another party in conversation is provided at the inner surface 21 of the folder part 20 and a voice input unit 17 for inputting the voice of a user is provided at the inner surface 11 of the main body 10. [0009] Various music and sound information, such as an MP3 file, stored in a memory chip may be output through a speaker 30 provided at the main body 10 as, for example, interactive 3-D sound or surround sound. The speaker 30 is provided at an upper side of the inner surface 21 of the folder part 20, for example, at both sides of the voice (sound) output unit 27. Two speakers 30 are provided at a predetermined interval in order to reproduce music with an improved stereo sound. [0010] In order to reproduce a sound source, such as music, stored in a conventional folder type mobile terminal having such a structure, a user inputs a command to reproduce the stored sound source by using the second keypad 15 when the folder part 20 is opened with respect to the main body 10. The sound source stored in the memory chip is then reproduced and output through the pair of speakers 30. The stored sound source may also be reproduced when the folder part is closed with respect to the main body 10 by using manipulation keys (not shown) provided on the outer surface 22 of the folder part 20. [0011] However, in the conventional mobile handset device, when the folder part 20 is closed with respect to the main body 10, the speaker unit 30 provided at an upper side of the inner surface 21 of the folder part is covered by the main body. Therefore, if the stored sound source is reproduced when the folder part 20 is closed with respect to the main body 10, a sound from the speaker unit 30 is not properly output outside the mobile handset device 1 because the main body interferes with sound wave propagation. Accordingly, the quality of the sound through the speaker unit 30 deteriorates. [0012] Furthermore, because the speaker unit 30 is fixed at a certain position of the mobile handset device 1, the direction in which the sound is propagated is limited. Therefore, the sound cannot be propagated through the speaker in various directions and user satisfaction may be adversely affected. [0013] Therefore, there is a need for a mobile communication device that can effectively propagate reproduced sound outside the device without deterioration regardless of the open or closed configuration of the device. The present invention addresses these and other needs.

[0051] A driving unit 500 is provided in the second body 200 and operatively connected to the speaker unit 300 such that the speaker unit 300 may be retracted into the second body 200 or protruded from the second body. FIGS. 3 to 5 illustrate a driving unit 500 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. [0052] The driving unit 500 is connected and fixed to a rear end of the speaker unit 300 in order to rotate the speaker unit. Specifically, the driving unit facilitates rotating the speaker unit 300 with respect to the outer surface 202 of the second body 200 such that the speaker unit 300 can protrude from or retract into the second body. Preferably, the housings 310 are rotated simultaneously and in the same direction. [0053] The driving unit 500 includes a sector gear 510, a pinion 520 engaged with the sector gear 510 and a connection lever 530. One end portion of the connection lever 530 is fixed to a shaft of the sector gear 510 and the other end portion of the connection lever is fixed to the speaker unit 300. The pinion 520 may be connected, for example, in series with the shaft of a small-sized motor (not shown) fixed inside the second body 200. The driving unit 500 motor is driven when a control key provided on the first body 100 or the second body 200 is pressed. [0054] FIG. 6 shows a driving unit in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. The rear end of the speaker unit 300 is directly pin-coupled to the shaft of a motor (not shown) so that the speaker unit 300 can retract back into or protrude from the second body 200. [0055] The operation of a speaker unit 300 in accordance with the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 3-5. FIG. 3 illustrates a situation where a sound source file stored in an internal memory is reproduced with the first body 100 closed with respect to the second body 200, such that the mobile handset device 50 is in a closed configuration. FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate a situation where a sound source file stored in an internal memory is reproduced with the first body 100 opened with respect to the second body 200, such that the mobile handset device 50 is in an open configuration [0056] Referring to FIG. 3, when a control key provided on the mobile terminal is pressed, the speaker unit 300 is in a protruded configuration after being extended from the outer surface 202 of the second body 200 by the driving unit 500. Specifically, the driving unit 500 motor is driven and the pinion 520 and sector gear 510 rotated together. As the sector gear 510 is rotated, the speaker unit 300 is rotated to protrude from the outer surface 202 of the second body 200. In this configuration, the cover 320 of the speaker unit 300 through which sound is output faces a user and the user can listen to a selected sound source file, such as music. [0057] When the user stops listening to the selected sound source file, the control key is pressed and the operation of the driving unit reversed. Specifically, when the pinion 520 and the sector gear 510 are rotated in the reverse order, the speaker unit 300 also is rotated in the reverse order and retracts inside the second body 200 and against the mounting portions 260. [0058] As illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, when the first body 100 is opened with respect to the second body 200 and a sound source file stored in an internal memory is reproduced, the driving unit 500 is not operated and the speaker unit 300 remains retracted inside the second body 200. Sound is output outside the second body 200 through the sound transfer channel 400 formed in the second body via the first through holes 420 and second through holes 470 such that the user can listen to the sound. On the other hand, the user may still listen to the sound with the speaker unit 300 is in the protruded configuration and extending from the outer surface 202 of the second body 200 by manipulating a control key. [0059] Using a mobile handset device in accordance with the present invention, a user may listen to high-quality reproduced sound without distortion or interruption of sound wave propagation regardless of whether the first body 100 is open or closed with respect to the second body 200 because the speaker unit 300 can be made to protrude out of or be retracted into the second body. Even with the speaker unit 300 retracted into the second body 200 when the first body 100 is folded open with respect to the second body 200, a reproduced sound can be effectively transmitted outside the second body via the sound transfer channel 400 and the through holes 420, 470. Therefore, reliability and competitiveness of the product can be improved. [0060] As the present invention may be embodied in several forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof, it should also be understood that the above-described embodiments are not limited by any of the details of the foregoing description, unless otherwise specified, but rather should be construed broadly within its spirit and scope as defined in the appended claims, and therefore all changes and modifications that fall within the metes and bounds of the claims, or equivalence of such metes and bounds are therefore intended to be embraced by the appended claims.
