Abstract
In a folding information terminal device capable of taking a three-dimensional image and including two planes which become opposite to each other when the folding information terminal device is folded; there is provided at least one image pickup section on one plane of the two planes, and at least one image pickup section on the other plane.
Claims13
A folding information terminal device including two planes which become opposite to each other when the folding information terminal device is folded, comprising:
- at least one image pickup section on one plane of the two planes;
- at least one image pickup section on the other plane;
- a movable connection section for connecting a fixed end of the one plane and a fixed end of the other plane;
- and
- a movable range restriction section for preventing inclination of the one plane with respect to the other plane from exceeding a predetermined angle,
- wherein
- the predetermined angle falls in a range with which a shooting direction of the one plane and a shooting direction of the other plane securely intersect with each other within an allowable shooting distance for the image pickup section of the one plane and the image pickup section of the other plane.
A folding information terminal device including two planes which become opposite to each other when the folding information terminal device is folded, comprising:
- at least one image pickup section on one plane of the two planes;
- at least one image pickup section on the other plane;
- a movable connection section for connecting a fixed end of the one plane and a fixed end of the other plane;
- an angle adjustment mechanism for rotating a shooting direction of the image pickup section on the one plane about an axis perpendicular to a fold line at the intersection of the two planes of the folding information terminal, wherein:
- the one plane is provided on either a main body or a covering body made up of (a) a movable section including the image pickup section, and (b) a fixed section separated from the movable section,
- the angle adjustment mechanism moves the movable section from the fixed section so as to change shooting direction of the image pickup section, and
- the movable section is rotated about an axis extending in the width direction of the one plane;
- and
- a movable connection section for connecting a fixed end of the one plane and a fixed end of the other plane, and a distance between the image pickup section on the one plane and the movable connection section is different from a distance between the image pickup section on the other plane and the movable connection section.
A folding information terminal device including two planes which become opposite to each other when the folding information terminal device is folded, comprising:
- at least one image pickup section on one plane of the two planes;
- at least one image pickup section on the other plane;
- an angle adjustment mechanism for rotating a shooting direction of the image pickup section on the one plane about an axis perpendicular to a fold line at the intersection of the two planes of the folding information tenninal,
- wherein:
- the one plane is provided on either a main body or a covering body made up of (a) a movable section including the image pickup section, and (b) a fixed section separated from the movable section,
- the angle adjustment mechanism moves the movable section from the fixed section so as to change shooting direction of the image pickup section,
- the movable section is rotated about an axis extending in the length direction of the one plane, and
- the image pickup section on the one plane and the image pickup section on the other plane are asymmetrically placed with respect to a border of the one plane and the other plane.
