Abstract:
An electronic device that includes a vision system carried by a bracket assembly is disclosed. The vision system may include a first camera module that captures an image of an object, a light emitting element that emits light rays toward the object, and a second camera module that receives light rays reflected from the object. The light rays may include infrared light rays. The bracket assembly is designed not only carry the aforementioned modules, but to also maintain a predetermined and fixed separation between the modules. The bracket assembly may form a rigid, multi-piece bracket assembly to prevent bending, thereby maintaining the predetermined separation. The electronic device may include a transparent cover designed to couple with a housing. The transparent cover includes an alignment module designed to engage a module and provide a moving force that aligns the bracket assembly and the modules to a desired location in the housing.

Claim (Index 21):
A portable electronic device, comprising:\n a bottom wall and sidewalls that, in cooperation with the bottom wall, define a cavity, wherein the sidewalls define an opening that leads into the cavity; an optically clear protective layer that covers the opening and encloses the cavity; and a vision subsystem operable to provide an image characteristic of an object located in front of the optically clear protective layer, the vision subsystem comprising:\n a bracket that is arranged to carry, on a first side facing an interior surface of the optically clear protective layer, optical components located at fixed distances from each other, wherein some of the optical components cooperate to provide information used to generate the image characteristic, and \n a biasing element that (i) engages a second side of the bracket that is facing away from the interior surface of the optically clear protective layer and that (ii) engages an interior surface of the bottom wall, wherein the biasing element biases the bracket away from the interior surface of the bottom wall and towards the interior surface of the optically clear protective layer such that the bracket is free to move within the cavity with respect to, at least, the bottom and sidewalls while the fixed distances between the optical components remain unchanged.
