SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIN
FIGS. 1a to 1c are a diagram showing the construction of an embodiment of an information communication terminal device according to the invention;
FIGS. 3a and 3b are a perspective view showing a closed state and an opened state of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1;
FIGS. 5a to 5d are a perspective view showing a specific example of the relations between case opening states shown in FIG. 4 and use modes;
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the display contents in display/operation parts in a "recording" mode as one of the use modes in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1;
FIGS. 8a and 8b are a diagram showing the display contents in the display/operation parts in a transmission/reception mode as another one of the use modes in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1; and
FIGS. 1a to 1c are a construction diagram showing an embodiment of an information communication terminal device according to the invention. FIG. 1a of the diagram is a front view, FIG. 1b of the diagram is a right side view, and FIG. 1c of the diagram is a left side view. The device includes an upper case 1, a lower case 2, a connection part 3, display/operation parts 4 and 5, a rotary shaft supporting part 6, a rotary shaft 7, a housing member 8; a camera lens 9, an antenna 10, a power source button 11, an earphone jack 12, and a microphone 13.
The two display/operation parts 4 and 5, and the housing member 8 mounting a video camera in the housing member itself are rotatably supported on the same rotation axis by a rotation mechanism each other. The display/operation parts 4 and 5 are rotatably mounted so as to rotate around the housing member 8 and are opposed each other when opened and piled each other when closed.
FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the embodiment and a small diameter part 7a of the rotary shaft 7 and a small diameter part 8a of the housing member 8 are inserted into a through hole 6a opened in the rotary shaft supporting part 6 of the lower case 12 from the opposite sides. The device is assembled in such a manner that one of the small diameter parts 7a and 8b is rotatably fit into the other in the through hole 6a. Consequently, the cases 1 and 2 can be closed and opened and the housing member 8 can be rotated with respect to the rotary shaft supporting part 6. In a state where the cases 1 and 2 are open, by rotating the housing member 8 with a knob 8b, the direction of the camera lens 9, that is, the photographing direction of the video camera housed in the housing member 8 can be therefore changed around the rotary shaft 7 as a center. The rotary shaft 7 having a small diameter part 7a, the rotary shaft supporting part 6 having a through hole 6a and the housing member 8 having a small diameter part 8a act as a rotating support mechanism.
As shown in FIG. 3a, an infrared communication means 10' for IRDA (wireless communication using infrared) is provided for the connection part so as not to be exposed to the outside, so that information recorded in a memory built in the body can be easily transmitted by using IRDA to an information system such as a personal computer having a similar communication means.
In the diagram, the opening angles of the cases 1 and 2 when the lower case 2 is rotated from the upper case 1 as a reference are shown. The state of (1) shows a state where the opening angle=0° and the cases 1 and 2 are closed. It is assumed that the cases are stably locked in the four kinds of open states including the closed state. The other three kinds are a state of (2) where the opening angle=150°, a state of (3) where the opening angle=180°, and a state of (4) where the opening angle=270°.
FIGS. 5a to 5d is a diagram showing a specific example of the relations between the opening angles of the cases 1 and 2 shown in FIG. 4 and use modes of the embodiment.
FIG. 5b shows a state of (2) in FIG. 4. The embodiment is suitable to be used as a telephone or a television telephone which will be described hereinlater ("transmission and reception" mode). It is also suitable to a case where the device is held by a hand and is used as a camera. FIG. 5b shows two examples of cases where the photographing directions of the video camera are opposite. It is needless to say that the photographing directions except for the example can be also used in this case.
FIG. 5d shows the state of (4) in FIG. 4, in which the cases 1 and 2 are stood as legs and which is suitable to a case where the device is used as a television telephone, a camera, or the like on a table ("transmission/reception" mode and "recording" mode). In this case as well, two examples in which the photographing directions of the video camera are opposite to each other are shown. In this case as well, it is needless to say that other photographing directions except for the above example can be also used.
The opening angles are shown as just an example. The invention is not limited by the opening angles. For example, in case of using as shown in FIG. 5(d), the opening angle can be set, for example, in a range of ±15° of 270°.
As shown in FIG. 6, when the power source button 11 (FIG. 1) is operated and the power source is turned on in a state where the cases 1 and 2 are open, a menu image including at least a menu 14 showing use modes, a cursor button 15, and a determination button 16 is displayed in the display/operation part 4 of the upper case 1. It is assumed that three kinds of use modes of "recording" mode, "transmission/reception" mode, and "information acquisition" mode can be selected here. The cursor button 15 is a display button of a touch type. Each time the cursor button 15 is touched, a cursor 17 in a frame shape is moved, thereby repeatedly changing the use mode in accordance with the order of "recording" mode, "transmission/reception" mode, and "information acquisition" mode. When a desired use mode is designated by adjusting the cursor 17 and the determination button 16 as a touch type display button is similarly touched, it is determined that the designated use mode is selected. On the basis of the determination, the use mode enters a set state and an image according to the set use mode is displayed on the display/operation parts 4 and 5.
By touching the cursor button 15 to make the cursor 17 adjusted to the "recording" mode and touching the determination button 16 to select the "recording" mode, a display state shown in FIG. 7 is obtained.
That is, as shown in the diagram, a display part 18 and an operation part 19 are displayed in the display/operation part 4 of the upper case 1 and an image (camera image) photographed by the video camera housed in the housing member 8 (FIG. 1) is displayed in the display part 18. In the operation part 19, touch buttons of an F button (function key) 19a, a macro button 19b for setting a macro photographing mode, a recording mode button 19c for selecting a recording mode (moving picture recording mode, still picture recording mode, and voice recording mode), a menu button 19d, a list button 19e for displaying a list of record contents, and a recording button 19f for indicating recording/recording stop are displayed.
When the "recording" mode is set from the state shown in FIG. 6, in the initial state of the mode, the video camera is in a regular photographing mode and a camera image is displayed in the display part 18. When the macro photographing is desired, it is sufficient to touch the macro button 19b. When the mode is desired to be changed from the macro photographing mode to the regular photographing mode, it is sufficient to operate again the macro button 19b.
In the initial state, when the "recording" mode is, for example, in the moving picture recording mode. In this case, by touching the recording button 19f, for example, a moving image signal is recorded in a recording medium built in the upper case 1. When it is desired to change the "recording" mode, it is sufficient to touch the recording mode button 19c. Each time the recording mode button 19c is touched, the mode is sequentially and repeatedly switched, for example, in accordance with the order of the moving picture recording mode, the still picture recording mode, and the voice recording mode. Information indicative of the "recording" mode and the photographing mode which are presently set is displayed, for example, in a predetermined position of the display part 18. When the moving picture recording mode and the voice recording mode are set, the recording is started by touching the recording button 19f and the recording is finished by touching the recording button l9f again. When the still picture recording mode is set, the recording button 19f functions as a shutter button. A still image of one picture plane (image signals of one field or one frame) is recorded each time the recording button 19f is touched.
When the "recording" mode is desired to be cancelled, it is sufficient to touch the menu button 19d. The state is thereby returned to the state shown in FIG. 6.
When the list button 19e is touched, as shown in the diagram, a display part 20 and an operation part 21 are displayed in the display/operation part 5 of the lower case 2. In the display part 20, images which have been recorded so far are displayed in a list table. With respect to a moving image, for example, an image of the head one field or one frame is reduced and displayed. With respect to a still image, the still image itself is reduced and displayed.
In the operation part 21, cursor/scroll buttons 21a, a storing button 21b, and a clear button 21c are displayed. The cursor/scroll buttons 21a are used to designate a desired image in the list table of the display part 20. When there is an image which is desired to be eliminated from the list table, it is indicated by the cursor/scroll buttons 21a and the clear button 21c is touched, thereby erasing the image from the built-in recording medium and eliminating it from the list table. In this manner, a state in which only desired images are displayed in the list table of the display part 20 is obtained. When the storing button 21b is touched in such a state, the image of the display/operation part 5 is disappeared. In this instance, only a desired image or voice is recorded in the built-in medium. The cursor/scroll buttons 21a also have the function of scrolling. When the cursor is positioned to an upper or lower side part or a right or left side part of the display part 20 and is further touched, the image is scrolled to the upper or lower direction or the right or left direction.
By touching the F button 19a, the functions of the buttons of the operation part 21 in the display/operation part 5 can be changed.
As mentioned above, in the "recording" mode, a desired object can be photographed and a photographed image can be recorded as a moving picture or a still picture. Moreover, even after the recording, the recorded images can be selected and only desired images can be stored.
Although audio data is not shown, it is assumed that recorded images and audio data are displayed in accordance with the recording order in the list table displayed in the display part 20. For example, "audio data" is displayed in the column of audio data. When the "audio data" is indicated by touching the cursor/scroll buttons 21a, the audio data can be reproduced from the microphone 13 (FIG. 1). By touching the clear button 21c at this time, the audio data can be erased.
When the "transmission/reception" mode is designated by the cursor button 15 in the state shown in FIG. 6 and the determination button 16 is touched, the "transmission/reception" mode in the display state shown in FIG. 8(a) is set. In this mode, the device is basically used as a telephone.
That is, a display part 22 and an operation part 23 are displayed in the display/operation part 4 of the upper case 1 and nothing is displayed in the display part 22 in the initial state. In the operation part 23, touch buttons of an F button 23a used for registering a telephone number of the other side or the like, scroll buttons 23b for scrolling information (registered other side's telephone number or the like) displayed in the display part 22, a katakana/English button 23c for switching katakana/English inputting modes, a menu button 23d, and a call button 23e are displayed.
In the display/operation part 5 of the lower case 2, a ten-key 24a, a transmission button 24d, a redial button 24c, and an end button 24d are displayed. By touching the F button 23a, the functions of the input button 23a and the menu button 23d can be changed by the ten-key 23a and the input can be changed to katakana characters or English characters by the katakana/English button 23c. By touching the F button 23b, the katakana/English button 23c, and the ten-key 24a, the name and the telephone number of the other side can be registered. When the registered information is read out and a telephone call is made to the other side, by touching the F button 23a and the menu button 23d, the registered name and the telephone number of the other side are displayed in the display part 22. The names and the telephone numbers of the other side to be displayed are scrolled each time the scroll button 23d is touched. By touching the transmission button 24b when the name and the telephone number of the other side to whom a telephone call is desired to be made are displayed, the transmission is started and the other side is called.
After that, the line is connected to the other side and conversation can be held. In the case where the other side is a telephone, when the device functions as a telephone and the conversation is desired to be finished in display state shown in FIG. 8(a), it is sufficient to touch the end button 24d. The conversation is consequently finished. By touching the menu button 23d, the state is returned to the state shown in FIG. 6.
That is, in the display/operation part 4 of the upper case 1, a display part 25a in which a self image obtained by the built-in video camera is displayed, a display part 25b in which an image of the other side sent from the other side is displayed, the menu button 23d, the F button 23a, and an other side/self button 25c are displayed. The other side/self button 25c is used to switch a mode for displaying the self image and the other side image in respective two regions of the display parts 25a and 25b as shown in the diagram, a mode for displaying only the self image, and a mode for displaying only the other side image each time the button 25c is touched. The modes are sequentially switched every touching operation.
In the display/operation part 5 of the lower case 2, as shown in the diagram, in addition to the transmission button 24b, the redial button 24c, and the end button 24d, an attachment button 26a, a handwriting memo button 26b, and the like are displayed. In the embodiment, a memory in which various data is stored is also built in. By touching the attachment button 26a, the data is read out and a child picture plane is displayed (sum nail display) in a proper place in the display/operation part 5. By touching cursor/scroll buttons 26c, the data displayed in the child picture plane can be scrolled. By adjusting the cursor on desired data and touching the transmission button 24b, the data can be transmitted to the other side.
The data can be properly inputted by touching the F button 23a and the ten-key 24a in the state shown in FIG. 8a.
In FIG. 8b, by touching the handwriting memo button 26b, a part of the display/operation part 5 becomes a picture plane of a memo and notes can be taken in the part. In this case as well, by touching the transmission button 24a, the memo can be transmitted to the other side. When the memo is not transmitted, it can be erased by touching the clear button 26d. Alternatively, the memo can be stored into the memory by touching the storing button 26e.
When a call is made by the other side, even if the power source is turned off and the device is in another mode such as the "recording" mode, a ringing tone is sounded. In this case, when the power source is turned off, by turning on the power source as mentioned above, the function as a telephone, that is, the transmission/reception mode is set immediately. It is also possible that by turning on the power source, the device enters the state shown in FIG. 6. By selectively setting the transmission/reception mode, the transmission/reception mode is set.
When the ringing tone is sounded in any mode except for the transmission/reception mode, by touching the menu button (for example, the menu button 19a in FIG. 7 when the device is in the "recording mode"), the mode can be switched to the transmission/reception mode immediately. In this case as well, the state shown in FIG. 6 is set by touching the menu button and the transmission/reception mode may be set by selecting and setting the transmission/reception mode.
Although the image shown in FIG. 8(b) is immediately displayed in case of the television telephone in the above description, in a manner similar to the case of the telephone shown in FIG. 8(a), the ten-key 24a is displayed in the display/operation part 5 of the lower case 2 and the display state shown in FIG. 8(b) may be set by touching the F button 23a.
According to the embodiment as mentioned above, whether the other side is a telephone or a television telephone, the conversation can be held according to the telephone or the television telephone and data or handwritten memo can be transmitted and received to/from the other side.
When the "information acquisition" mode is designated by the cursor button 15 and the determination button 16 is touched in the state shown in FIG. 6, the "information acquisition" mode of the display state shown in FIG. 9 is set. In the mode, various information service can be received from the outside.
In FIG. 9, in the "information acquisition" mode, a menu button 27b, an F button 27c, and an access destination list button 27d are displayed in the lower part of the display/operation part 4 of the upper case 1. When the access destination list button 27d is touched, the kinds of information service are displayed in a display part 28a in the display/operation part 5 of the lower case 2. When cursor/scroll buttons 28b displayed in the lower part of the display/operation part 5 are touched and information service is designated by the cursor, the contents of the information service are received and displayed in a display part 27a of the display/operation part 4 of the upper case 1. The information service to be received is sequentially changed each time the cursor/scroll button 28b is touched. When the cursor/scroll button 28d is continuously touched in a state where the information service in the end part is designated by the cursor, the contents displayed in the display part 28a are scrolled and the other part of the information service list is sequentially displayed.
When a storing button 28c is touched, the contents of the information service displayed in the display part 27a in this instance are stored into the built-in memory. In order to read out the stored contents of the information, for example, the function of the storing button 28c is changed to a read button by touching the F button 27c and the read button is touched, thereby enabling the reading operation to be performed. In this case, the list of the stored information contents is displayed in the display part 28a. By touching the cursor/scroll button 28b, a desired information content can be selected. The selected information content is displayed in the display part 27a. When the information content displayed is unnecessary in this instance, by touching a clear button 28d, it can be erased. When the storing button 28c is touched in the state where the information contents is read out from the memory and are displayed as mentioned above, the device is returned to the original state of receiving information service. Further, when the menu button 27b is touched, the device is returned to the state of FIG. 6.
The contents of the information service can be also made as the data in the television telephone described with reference to FIG. 8(b). By touching the attachment button 26a, the contents of the information service can be transmitted to the other side.
For example, the initial image displayed in the display/operation part when the power source is turned on by operating the power source button 11 (FIG. 1) is set to the menu image shown in FIG. 6 in the foregoing description. Alternatively, the transmission/reception mode may be set as an initial use mode by turning on the power source, the image shown in FIG. 8(a) is displayed, and the function as a telephone can be provided. In this case, when the menu button 23d is touched, a state in which the menu image shown in FIG. 6 is displayed is set and another use mode can be therefore set.
