US 2013/0278722 A1 · LENS DOCKING STATION

Abstract

A lens docking station used for detachably connecting to an electronic device is disclosed, wherein the electronic device includes a first lens module and a first transmission interface. The lens docking station includes a chute, a second lens module, and a second transmission interface. The chute is located next to the first lens module. The second lens module can slide along the chute to a position corresponding to the first lens module. The second transmission interface is used for communicating to the first transmission interface, and for electrically connecting to the second lens module, allowing the electronic device to control the second lens module to capture an image, and obtain the image; whereby the two images captured by the first lens module and the second lens module can be integrated to form a three-dimensional image.
