Patent ID: 7852403

Claim:
An electronic device capable of capturing images, comprising: a body, comprising a first surface and a second surface, with the first surface opposite to the second surface; a first image capturing element, disposed on the first surface; an arm, connected to the body, pivoting between a first position and a second position, wherein when the arm is in the second position to receive an object on a first end of the arm, the first image capturing element captures an image data of the object; and a position detector, disposed in the body, wherein when the arm is in the second position, the arm actives the position detector, the position detector emits an electronic signal, and the electronic device enters the image capturing state, wherein the position detector comprises a protrusion extending perpendicular to the first surface, the arm has a groove formed on a second end thereof, and when the arm is in the second position, the protrusion inserts the groove to actuate the position detector emitting the electronic signal, wherein when the arm is in the second position, the electronic device enters an image capturing state, the first image capturing element starts an image capturing function.
