Abstract:
In some embodiments, a camera unit of a multifunction device may include an optical package and an actuator for moving the optical package. In some embodiments, the actuator may include an asymmetric magnet arrangement. The asymmetric magnet arrangement may include a lateral position control magnet situated at a first side of the optical package, and a pair of transverse position control magnets situated at respective second and third sides of the optical package opposite one another with respect to an axis between the optical package and the lateral magnet. In some embodiments, the actuator may include one or more position sensor magnets attached to the optical package, and one or more magnetic field sensors for determining a position of the position sensor magnets.

Claim (Index 21):
A camera unit, comprising:\n an optical package including one or more lenses that define an optical axis; an asymmetric magnet arrangement for actuation along the optical axis and along a plane that is orthogonal to the optical axis, wherein the asymmetric magnet arrangement includes:\n a lateral position control magnet situated at a first side of the optical package; and \n a pair of transverse position control magnets situated on respective second and third sides of the optical package opposite one another with respect to an axis between the optical package and the lateral position control magnet, wherein the pair of transverse position control magnets contribute to actuation of the optical package in a direction parallel to the optical axis; \n one or more position sensor magnets attached to the optical package for movement relative to the a pair of transverse position control magnets and in the direction parallel to the optical axis; and one or more magnetic field sensors configured to measure one or more magnetic field components to enable determination of a position, along the optical axis, of at least one of the one or more position sensor magnets.
