An object is to provide a mobile electronic device with high operability and high safety. The mobile electronic device includes an image projector that projects an image, a control unit that controls a projection operation by the image projector, and a cabinet that supports the image projector and the control unit. The control unit can select a first mode and a second mode, and controls an operation of the image projector, when the first mode is selected, in a condition different from that when the second mode is selected. The object is thereby solved.

This application is a National Stage of PCT international application Ser. No. PCT/JP2010/052928 filed on February 25, which is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-43199, filed on Feb. 25, 2009, Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-77782, filed on Mar. 26, 2009, and Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-223504, filed on Sep. 28, 2009.
The present invention relates to a mobile electronic device and a mobile system having an image projector for projecting an image to a screen or to a wall surface.
As a conventional device for projecting an image to a wall surface or a screen, a so-called projector is used. A mainstream of the projector is a so-called stationary type device which is supplied with power from a commercial power supply and is used when it is fixed to a predetermined location. A projector as the stationary type projects, in its fixed state, an image to a given portion of the wall surface or to the screen.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a schematic configuration of one embodiment of a mobile electronic device.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the schematic configuration of the mobile electronic device as illustrated in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a state in which an image is displayed by the mobile electronic device as illustrated in FIG. 1.
The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited by the following explanation. Besides, the components explained in the following include those that can be easily thought of by persons skilled in the art, and substantially equivalents or those in an equivalent scope. A mobile phone as a mobile electronic device will be explained hereinafter as an example, however, an applied target of the present invention is not limited to the mobile phone. The present invention can also be applied to, for example, PHS (Personal Handyphone System), PDA, a portable navigation device, a notebook-size personal computer, and a game machine.
First, an external configuration of the mobile electronic device is explained. FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a schematic configuration of one embodiment of the mobile electronic device. A mobile electronic device 10 is a mobile phone provided with a wireless communication function. The mobile electronic device 10 is a straight mobile phone with units stored inside of one box-shaped cabinet 11. In the present invention, the cabinet 11 is formed to a box shape, however, the cabinet may be formed with two members coupled to each other by a hinge and thereby be foldable, or the cabinet may be configured to have two members which are slidable. A cabinet connected with three or more members can also be used.
The cabinet 11 is provided with a display 12 as a display unit illustrated in FIG. 1. The display 12 displays a predetermined image, such as a standby image when the mobile electronic device 10 is in a standby state for waiting for reception and a menu image used to help operation of the mobile electronic device 10.
