A wearable device is provided. The wearable device includes a clip type wearing part including at least two first and second openings, and a body configured to fit to and to separate from the clip type wearing part. The clip type changeable wearing part includes a safe mounting part which is formed to have a shape of covering a circumference and bottom of the first opening, and to which the body is fitted, and at least a portion of the second opening is opened in the safe mounting part.

Wearable device

A portable electronic apparatus functioning as a pen-table, includes a touch-screen module for detecting contact with an external object and creating position data of a detected region. The portable electronic apparatus, by functioning as a pen-table, eliminates the need to install or carry a mouse, a pen-table, etc. for controlling a personal computer, a laptop computer or the like. A local area communication module transmits and receives data based on a local area communication protocol, and a display module displays the detected region and information on a user interface (UI) and functions of the apparatus. A controller controls the operations of the modules in response to the user's input so as to transmit position data created by the touch-screen module to an electronic device that includes the functions of a pen-table and local area communication.

Portable electronic apparatus functioning as pen-table and computer system using the same

A portable terminal is disclosed, having a first housing, a second housing that is rotatably combined with the first housing and moves toward or away from the first housing while facing the first housing, and a camera lens assembly provided on the second housing. The second housing moves toward or far from the first housing as it is rotated with respect to a predetermined hinge axis. The hinge axis provides a rotation axis of a lens housing of the camera lens assembly, the rotation axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the camera lens assembly and passing through the center of the camera lens assembly. The lens housing and the second housing rotate with respect to the first housing as the second housing is moved toward or away from the first housing and the lens housing are rotated with respect to the second housing by a user when desired.

Portable terminal having camera lens assembly

A mobile communication terminal having a main body and a folder pivotably connected to the main body, each having internal surfaces provided with a ground coated with conductive material; a hinge device including a conductive hinge housing received in the folder and connected to the grounds, a conductive coil spring received in the hinge housing and supported at one end of the hinge housing against an inner wall of one end of the hinge housing, and a conductive contact pin supported at one end against the other end of the coil spring and protruding through the other end of the hinge housing to be connected to the main body; and a conductive hinge dummy mounted within the main body and connected to the ground and the other end of the contact pin. Thus, operational characteristics of the terminal are improved and electromagnetic wave absorptance is reduced.

Portable wireless terminal with ground connecting device which uses a hinge device

There is disclosed a hinge mechanism for use in a portable phone having a phone body and a cover, the hinge mechanism configured to mechanically couple the cover to the phone body. The hinge mechanism includes at least one hinge module mounted to the phone body and configured to hinge the cover with respect to the phone body for opening and closing the cover. The hinge module includes a hinge housing having a bottom wall and a pair of opposite lateral end walls spaced from each other, one of the lateral walls having a hole. The hinge housing also has a pair of opposite longitudinal end walls spaced from each other. A hinge shaft is mounted in the housing and has a mountain-shaped portion provided with a pair of opposite cam surfaces at one longitudinal portion thereof and a shaft portion at the other longitudinal portion thereof. The hinge shaft is arranged in the hinge housing such that the shaft portion extends through the hole of the hinge housing outwardly from the hinge housing and is coupled to the cover. A hinge cam is provided in the hinge housing and has at one longitudinal portion thereof, a pair of mountain-shaped protrusions respectively provided with facing cam surfaces defining a valley-shaped portion therebetween, and, at the other longitudinal portion thereof, a mounting protrusion. The hinge cam valley-shaped portion is engaged with the mountain-shaped portion of the hinge shaft in such a fashion that it slides straight in a rotating axis direction in response to the rotation of the hinge shaft. A hinge spring is provided in the hinge housing to urge the hinge cam toward the hinge shaft.

Hinge mechanism of portable phone

A device for electrically connecting a microphone mounted on a flip cover to an audio circuit of a telephone body. The flip cover is detachable from the telephone body when an excessive force is applied thereto. A hinge apparatus includes two hinge modules each including a hinge housing, a hinge shaft having a protrusion at an end and a shaft at another end, being assembled into the hinge housing; conductive means fixedly pressed into a through hole formed along an axis of the hinge shaft; a cam hinge having opposing protrusions and opposing indents formed alternately at one side, engaging with the hinge shaft, and a through hole formed along the axis of the hinge shaft; a hinge cover mounted so as to cover an end of the hinge housing, the hinge cover having a through hole formed along the axis of the hinge shaft, through which an electric wire passes; and a coil spring intervening between the cam hinge and the hinge cover to provide an elastic force. The flip cover includes a first connection terminal having a plane surface, a curved surface and a tension part, wherein the tension part maintains electrical contact with the conductive means, the first connection terminal being installed between a neck and a knuckle; and a microphone mounted on the flip cover, being connected to the first connection terminal via the electric wire, whereby the microphone is electrically connected to an audio circuit of the telephone body.
