Abstract
The mobile communication device of this invention comprises a telephone main body; a display means which is positioned on a surface of the telephone main body, and is capable of displaying the operation content of the mobile communication device and a pick-up image of an object; an image pick-up optical system unit which is positioned on a face other than the face on which is positioned the display means of the telephone main body to pick up the image of the object; and a light emission means to illuminate the object which is positioned on a face on which is positioned the image pick-up optical system unit.
Claims11
A mobile communication device, comprising
- a telephone main body;
- a display means which is positioned on a surface of the telephone main body, and is capable of displaying the operation content of the mobile communication device and a pick-up image of an object;
- an image pick-up optical system unit which is positioned on a face other than the face on which is positioned the display means of the telephone main body to pick up the image of the object;
- and
- a light emission means to illuminate the object which is positioned on a face on which is positioned the image pick-up optical system unit.
A mobile communication device, comprising
- a telephone main body;
- an image pick-up optical system unit to pick up an image of an object;
- a light emission means to illuminate the object;
- a switch to select a camera mode to pick up the image of the object by using the image pick-up optical system unit and the light emission means to illuminate the object;
- and
- a control means to control each of the operations of the mobile communication device;
- and wherein
- when the camera mode is selected, control by the control circuit causes the receiving wait state of the mobile communication device to be disconnected and a conversation function to be inhibited.
A mobile communication device, comprising
- a display means having functions for displaying the operation content of the mobile communication device and for displaying a picked-up image of an object;
- an image pick-up optical system unit having a function for image pick-up of the object;
- and
- a light emission means to emit light for illumination toward the object;
- and wherein
- the image pick-up optical system unit and the light emission means are both positioned on a face of the outer packaging of the mobile communication device other than the face on which is positioned the display means.
A mobile communication device, comprising
- a telephone main body;
- an image pick-up optical system unit having a function for image pick-up of an object;
- a light emission means to emit light for illumination toward the object;
- and
- a control means to control each of the general operations of the mobile communication device;
- and wherein
- when a mode enabling image pick-up by the image pick-up optical system unit is set, control by the control means causes the receiving wait state of the mobile communication device to be canceled and a conversation function to be inhibited.
