DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] 1 shows a first and second embodiment of the present invention in which a smartphone 1 is connected to another smartphone 100 by a hinge 13, with cameras 400, 4000 provided at the top center in the first embodiment of the present invention and cameras 400, 4000 provided at the left and right ends 4, 40 in the second embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 1 is a plan view of the main body 1, 100 of the present invention unfolded. 2 is the smartphone screen, 3 is the camera shutter button, 5 is the home button, 6 is the power button, 7 is the volume down button, and 8 is the volume up button. Note that hinge 13 not only physically connects main body 1 and main body 100, but also electrically connects main body 1 and main body 100 (not shown).

[0008] 2 is a plan view of the third embodiment of the present invention, in which the main body 1, 100 is unfolded and viewed from the back, and no camera is provided on the back side. 11 is a charging contact, 10 is an antenna, and 9 is a buzzer switch.

[0009] 3 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention, in which the main body 1, 100 is unfolded and viewed from the back, and cameras and microphones 12, 120 are provided on the left and right ends of the main body 1, 100. Three-dimensional images and stereo sound can be recorded.

[0010] Figure 4 is an expanded top view of the embodiment of the present invention shown in Figures 1 and 3. It is possible to use only cameras 4 and 40, only cameras 12 and 120, or any combination of cameras, without using all four cameras 4, 40, 12, and 120. This fifth embodiment allows images that could not be captured with conventional smartphones to be displayed on the screens 2 and 20, such as large images created by connecting all cameras, 360-degree images, images from one camera, large selfies, simultaneous front and back images, simultaneous images of the person in front of you, and simultaneous images of the ground and sky.

[0011] 5 shows a sixth embodiment of the present invention, in which a speaker 21 is provided on the left end of main body 1 and a speaker 210 is provided on the right end of main body 100. In this embodiment, the vertical outer frames of screens 2 and 200 are eliminated and the left and right screens are folded in a V shape to the very limit, creating a large screen with no visible contact lines. By folding it in a V shape, it can stand on its own on a desk, and screens 2 and 20 form a single, impressive large image, which can be enjoyed with the large 2+20 screen and stereo sound from the left and right speakers 21 and 210.

[0012] By capturing and recording separate left and right images and sounds using the camera and microphone 12, 120 shown in Figure 4, separate left and right images will appear on the screens 2, 20.If a three-dimensional device 23 equipped with a separator 24 and left and right lenses 14, 16 is placed in front of both eyes 15, 17 as shown in Figure 5 and the viewer looks at the smartphone screens 2, 20, the images will appear three-dimensional and the sounds 22, 220 coming from the speakers 21, 210 will sound three-dimensional.

[0013] FIG. 6 shows a sixth embodiment of the smartphone of the present invention in which the screen 2 and the screen 20 are folded inward. By doing so, the present invention can protect the screen, and since both sides cannot be touched, it has the effect of preventing malfunctions. It is also a seventh embodiment that has the effect of preventing fraudulent use of the smartphone.

[0014] 7 shows an eighth embodiment in which screens 2 and 20 are folded outward, the opposite of Fig. 6, and there are screens on both the front and back of the main body, with camera 4 photographing oneself 21 and camera 40 photographing the other person 22, and their respective faces are simultaneously captured on screens 20 and 2. In addition, the smartphone of the present invention makes it possible to simultaneously photograph scenery in front of and behind oneself when the other person 22 is not present, or to hold the smartphone of the present invention horizontally and simultaneously photograph the ground and sky and display them on both sides, something that was not possible with known smartphones.

[0015] There are four types of hinges of the present invention. The first, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, is a hinge 13 that has two hinges, 131 and 132, and rotates via an arm 133 connecting these hinges 131 and 132. This allows the screen 2 and the document 20 to rotate 180 degrees outward (i.e., 360 degrees) from the folded state in which they face inward as shown in Figure 6. Specifically, the hinge 13 has two rotation axes, and the main body 1 is joined so as to rotate around the rotation axis of the hinge 131, and the main body 100 is joined so as to rotate around the rotation axis of the hinge 132. Furthermore, the two rotation axes are connected by a long arm 133, which is rigidly or flexibly supported and joined. This hinge allows the screens 2 and 20 to tightly contact each other when facing inward, and allows the backs of the screens 2 and 20 to tightly contact each other when facing outward, making it easy to operate and compact. The second hinge of the present invention is characterized by being provided on the inclined portion of the door of the smartphone, as shown in Figures 4 and 5. This hinge is capable of integrating the screens 2 and 20 without any gaps between them when the main body 1 and the main body 100 are opened in a straight line or fan-shaped manner. This hinge 13 allows the connected screens 2 and 20 to be seamlessly integrated into a large screen. The third hinge of the present invention is a hinge having a mechanism that can stop at any angle, as shown in FIGS. The fourth hinge 13000 of the present invention is made of a flexible material, such as organic EL, and will be described in Figures 12 to 20. The screens 2 and 20 can be made of thin-film organic electroluminescence (organic EL) 20000. Because it can be bent, the portions corresponding to the screens 2 and 20 can be integrated with a single organic EL film without gaps, resulting in a large screen. Furthermore, since it can also be used as a hinge, a hinge is not required. This will be described in detail from Figure 12 onwards.

[0016] 8 and 9 show a ninth embodiment of the present invention, in which a hinge connecting the main body 1 and the main body 100 is As described above, hinge 25 is provided to allow the angle between main body 1 and main body 100 to be fixed at any angle. Of course, hinge 25 is electrically connected to main body 1 and main body 100. FIG. 8 is a side view of smartphone main body 1 of the present invention placed horizontally on a desk and angled to allow easy viewing of screen 19, and FIG. 9 is a top view thereof. This obviates the need for support portion 3006 shown in FIG. 30 of Qualcomm Patent (JP Patent Publication No. 2012-502373). Because of this structure, a full keyboard can be displayed on screen 18 of main body 1, allowing displayed characters and images to be viewed on full screen 19. This eliminates the problems of conventional smartphones, such as competing for a small screen with the keyboard, a small keyboard that is difficult to operate, and a small display screen.

[0017] 10 is a top view of the tenth embodiment of the present invention, in which the main body 1 and the main body 100 are opened in a fan shape by the third hinge of the present invention and stand on the floor. The fan-shaped screen creates a pseudo-3D image. When the smartphone is fanned out like this, it can stand on its own, so there is no need to hold it in your hand, and you can use the smartphone on a desk with a large screen and stereo sound.

[0018] FIG. 11 shows an eleventh embodiment of the present invention, in which main body 1, main body 100, main body 1000, and main body 10000 are connected by hinges 13, 130, and 1300, but this is an embodiment in which any n number of pieces can be connected, not just the four pieces shown. Therefore, the screen can be made huge, 2 + 20 + 200 + 2000 + n. Also, by connecting the two ends together to form a ring, it can form a 360° screen around the viewer, something that is completely impossible with conventional smartphones.

[0019] Figures 12 to 21 show other embodiments of the present invention, characterized by a smartphone screen constructed of flexible organic electroluminescence (OLED), a light-emitting element, and a sufficiently long bent portion 13000. If this portion were absent or too short, the OLED would crack. Figure 12 shows the twelfth embodiment of the present invention, a front view of the smartphone screen unfolded. Main unit 1 and main unit 100 are joined by a single OLED screen 20000, which covers the entire device and creates a large screen, allowing users to enjoy seamless images.

[0020] Figure 13 shows a thirteenth embodiment of the present invention, seen from the front. Instead of using main body 1 and main body 100 as in Figure 12, as shown in Figure 13, only main body 1 is configured with a large organic EL screen. This allows half of the screen thickness to be made very thin, making it thin when folded and easy to handle. Furthermore, you can enjoy seamless images on a large screen.

[0021] Figure 14 is a top view of Figure 12. There are no hinges between the main body 1 and the main body 100, and the main bodies are connected by the organic EL screen 20000. Electrical wiring between the main bodies is also arranged within the organic EL screen.

[0022] FIG. 15 is a top view of FIG.

[0023] 16 is a top view of the state in which the organic EL screen 20000 is wrapped outward as shown in FIG. 14. The organic EL screen 20000 surrounds the outer periphery of the main body 1, 100. The bent portion of the organic EL screen 13000 is curved to prevent it from breaking.

[0024] 17 is a top view of the OLED screen 20000 in a compact, outwardly wound state in FIG. 15 of the 13th embodiment of the present invention. The curvature is set so that the OLED screen 20000 will not break even if repeatedly bent. The OLED 13000 serves as both a hinge and a screen.

[0025] 18 shows the screen 2000 folded inward in the fourteenth embodiment of the present invention. The organic EL screen 20000 is sandwiched between the main body 1,100. Although the organic EL screen can be bent, the hinge portion 13000 is provided with sufficient slack so that each part of the organic EL screen 13000 is at an angle of 90 degrees or more, so that it will not be damaged by being bent too sharply.

[0026] FIG. 19 shows a fifteenth embodiment of the present invention in which a protective cap 26 is provided to cover the bent portion of the organic EL screen 13000 that protrudes from the main body 1, 100 in FIG.

[0027] 20 is a top view of the 16th embodiment of the present invention, with the screen 2000 folded inward. A protective cap 260 is inserted, and the organic EL screen 20000 is folded snugly onto the main body 1. Although the organic EL screen can be folded, the organic EL screen 13000, which is in contact with the hinge, must not be bent at a sharp angle.

[0028] Figure 21 shows a top view of the 17th embodiment of the present invention, with the screen gently bent inward. The OLED screen 20000 is clamped by the gripping cap 27, only at the edges of the gently bent OLED screen 20000. This configuration further reduces the stress on the OLED screen 20000 due to bending, making it less susceptible to breakdowns caused by repeated use. The screen is protected by being on the back side. As a result, a large screen can be formed with a single organic EL film, and when folded, it doubles as a hinge, making it a single large screen.The organic EL will not be damaged even with repeated use, and the large screen and compact size make it easy to operate, and because it is compact, it does not take up much storage space.This is a revolutionary invention for a simple and easy-to-use smartphone.

[0029] Figure 22 shows an 18th embodiment of the present invention, in which a connecting rubber band 28 is provided on the back of two smartphones 1 (and 100) with their backs facing each other so that an arm 29 can be passed through parallel to the short side, and the arm is passed between the two smartphones and secured to the wrist, with the screens facing the back and palm of the hand, respectively. When the screen 2 of the smartphone 1 faces the back of the hand, the screen 200 of the smartphone 100 is placed on the palm side, and images and text always face inward of the wearer.

[0030] FIG. 23 is a cross-sectional view of the arm of FIG. 22 according to the eighteenth embodiment of the present invention, seen from the shoulder direction. A connecting rubber band 28 is fixed to the back side of the smartphones 1 and 100. The connecting rubber band 28 is long enough to fit around the wrist, allowing the arm (palm) to pass between the two smartphones. The material of the rubber band 28 may be any stretchy material such as natural rubber, or it may be a metallic material such as a spring. According to the 18th embodiment of the present invention, for example, it is possible to see images on the smartphone screen when operating a keyboard, etc., and it is also possible to see images on the smartphone screen on the palm side when holding an object. Another unique feature is that by simply raising one's hands to face height, people facing each other can view smartphone images on both screens and take photos on both smartphones.

[0031] Figure 24 shows the 19th embodiment of the present invention, rotated approximately 90 degrees from Figure 22. Connecting rubber band 28 is fixed to the backs of smartphones 1 (and 100) facing each other so that arm 29 can be passed through parallel to the long side, and the arm is passed through between the two smartphones and fixed to the wrist, with the screens facing the back and palm of the hand, respectively.

[0032] FIG. 25 is a cross-sectional view of the arm of the nineteenth embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 24, viewed from the shoulder direction. According to the 19th embodiment of the present invention, the connecting rubber band 28 is fixed parallel to the long side so that the arm 29 can be passed through, and the product of the present invention is not much wider than the width of the wrist, so it does not hurt or get in the way. Also, when taking photos or videos of long, vertical objects, wearing the present invention and bending the elbow makes the screen longer vertically, making it easier to take pictures or videos.

[0033] Figure 26 shows the 20th embodiment of the present invention, in which the organic EL screen 20000 shown in Figure 12 is used, and shows two smartphones 1 (and 100) with their back faces facing each other, with connecting rubber bands 28 fixed to the back faces of the smartphones 1 (and 100) so that arm 29 can be passed through parallel to the long sides, and the arm is passed through between the two smartphones and fixed to the wrist. The two smartphones can be viewed together on a large screen using the screen of the folding and bending portion 13000 of the organic EL.

[0034] FIG. 27 is a cross-sectional view of the arm of FIG. 26 according to the twentieth embodiment of the present invention, viewed from the shoulder direction. According to the 20th embodiment of the present invention, an integrated screen 13000 is also present on the side of the wrist, so that images and text can be seen even when viewing the product from the side, and the smartphone screen can be seen even when performing tasks that require rotating and moving the hand.

[0035] Figure 28 shows a 21st embodiment of the present invention, which is the organic EL screen 20000 shown in Figure 13, in which the portion that wraps around to the back of the organic EL screen 20000 of the smartphone 1 is formed from a flexible sheet that can also be fixed to the wrist, and is a cross-sectional view of the arm as seen from the shoulder direction when worn on the arm. According to the 21st embodiment of the present invention, instead of a smartphone on the palm side, only an organic EL screen is used, and furthermore, the smartphone worn on the back of the hand is also fixed to the wrist, so that it is lightweight and the screen is integrated, allowing images to be enjoyed from either direction.

[0036] 29 is a cross-sectional view of an arm seen from the shoulder direction in the 22nd embodiment of the present invention. Two overlapping smartphones (1, 100) are fixed in a holder 30 and attached to an arm 29 with a wristband 31. 10A shows that the smartphone 1 and the smartphone 100 are connected by a hinge, and the side of the smartphone 1 is fixed by a holder 30. This has the effect that the smartphone 100 can be opened and closed while still attached to the arm 29. (B) is a product of the present invention in which the screen uses an organic EL 20000 instead of the known LCD, and the joint between the two smartphones 1 and 100 uses an organic EL 13000, preventing it from bending at a sharp angle. This has the effect of allowing the screens of the two smartphones to be integrated into a large screen that can be viewed while attached to the wrist. The holder 30 may be made of metal or plastic, and may have a structure that grips the entire side of the smartphone. The wristband may be a rubber band that is worn only on the wrist, or may be a wristband that covers not only the wrist but also the palm and back of the hand.

(B) The screen is a 20000 OLED display, which allows a large screen to be displayed on the wrist. By expanding the OLED screen, you can see a seamless image.

[0039] FIG. 32 is a cross-sectional view of an arm seen from the shoulder direction with a plurality of smartphones attached to the arm in the 25th embodiment of the present invention. 1(A) is a diagram showing a smartphone 1 attached to the top of the arm (facing the back of the hand) and a smartphone 100000 attached to the side of the arm, which is large enough to cover the side of the arm. The smartphones are connected by a hinge 13. (B) is a diagram showing smartphone 1 attached to the upper surface of the arm and smartphones 100000 attached to the left and right sides of the arm. 1C is a diagram showing a state in which the smartphone 1 is attached to the upper surface of the arm, the smartphone 100000 is attached to one side of the arm, and the smartphone 100 is also attached to the underside of the arm so as to sandwich the arm. (D) is a diagram showing a state in which smartphone 1 is attached to the upper surface of the arm, smartphones 100000 are attached to the left and right sides of the arm, and a smartphone 100 is also attached to the underside of the arm so as to sandwich the arm. Only the smartphone 1 on the upper surface of the arm is fixed to the arm. In (A) and (B), the smartphone 100000 is in contact with the side of the arm, can be rotated upward by a hinge 13, and can be opened horizontally together with the smartphone 1. Furthermore, in (C) and (D), the smartphone 100 connected to the smartphone 100000 by the hinge 13 can also be opened horizontally in the same plane as the smartphone 1. The smartphone 1 can be fixed to the arm using a wristband that covers only the wrist, a wristband that covers from the wrist to the fingertips, a connecting rubber band through which the arm can be passed, or a wristband with a holder.

[0040] Fig. 33 shows the foldable smartphone of Fig. 32 according to the 25th embodiment of the present invention when worn on the arm and unfolded. The dotted lines in Fig. 32 (A) to (D) show the present invention when unfolded on the same horizontal plane as the smartphone 1. According to the 25th embodiment of the present invention, the smartphone is wrapped around the arm, saving space and not getting in the way, and when unfolded, it allows images to be viewed on a large screen and also allows work to be done on multiple screens, which is a wonderful effect.

[0041] As shown in Figure 34, known smartphones are increasingly being used to talk while looking at the other person's face, for example, in remote conferences and remote interviews, but since camera 4 of known smartphones is located at the top of the outer periphery of smartphone body 1 as shown in Figure 34, when you turn your gaze towards the other person on the screen and talk, the image seen by the other person is an image in which the gaze of eyes 150, 170 (pupils) is facing downward or diagonally downward, as shown in Figure 34, and the other person sees an image in which the entire face is facing downward and dark. Conversely, when you turn your gaze towards camera 4 and talk, the other person sees an image in which your gaze is facing forward, but there is a drawback in that the camera is located above screen 2 and you cannot see the other person's image.

[0042] Figure 35 shows the 26th embodiment of the present invention, which eliminates this drawback. Camera 4 is installed at part 14000 where two smartphones (1,100) are joined vertically or horizontally, and the camera is installed at the center of the entire image or higher. This allows you to see the other person's image directly in front of your line of sight, and at the same time, the other person can see the image as if they were looking straight ahead. (A) is a diagram showing the camera 4 installed in the center of the smartphone connection part 14000, which is connected vertically, and the smartphone 1,100 opened approximately 180 degrees so that the face is connected vertically. Since the image is transmitted by the central camera 4, the image reflected by the other party is also an image that faces forward, and the other party's line of sight can also be seen forward. The camera 4 mechanism is made up of an image sensor, a lens, and associated semiconductor parts, but since the joints are rotatable, it is preferable to use a structure that is not easily damaged even when moved. (B) shows the smartphone 1,100 opened approximately 180 degrees so that the left and right faces are connected, with the camera 4 installed above the center of the connected part 14000 of the smartphones connected side by side. Furthermore, because the camera 4 is installed above the center of the connected part 14000, in (B) the eyes are directed forward, so the image is directly in front of the viewer, which is very effective in interviews and has the wonderful effect of making the image sent by the other party very easy to see. 14C shows that the camera 4 is provided in the smartphone connecting portion 14000, and the smartphone 1,100 can be opened by about 120 degrees so that the left and right sides of the face are connected, and can be placed on a desk or the like. This has the effect of allowing you to talk while watching the video hands-free without taking your eyes off the screen.

[0043] FIG. 36 shows a 27th embodiment of the present invention in which the 26th embodiment of the invention is attached to the arm. To attach the smartphone to your arm, insert the smartphone into a smartphone holder (holder 30) attached to a wristband, fingerless glove, etc. This has the effect of allowing you to talk while moving around, with both hands free and looking directly at the other person. As described above, the smartphone 100 can be fixed to the arm using a wristband that covers only the wrist, a wristband that covers from the wrist to the fingertips, a connecting rubber band through which the arm can be passed, or a wristband glove with a holder. The smartphone can be attached to the arm so that the long side of the arm is parallel to the arm as shown in Figure 26, or so that the long side is at a right angle to the arm. When attached to the arm at a right angle to the arm, the camera 4 is positioned above the center as shown in Figure 35(B), which has the advantage of directing the line of sight directly at the other person. As a result, by making it possible to fold multiple smartphones and attaching them to the arm, not only will you have both hands free, but because they are attached to your hand, you will not have to carry them around in your pocket or bag as they are not bulky, you will not have to put them in your pocket or bag, and you will not forget them, and you will be able to enjoy videos and the like on a large screen anywhere. In addition, by placing the camera at the joint, it is easier for the other person to see the image, and the other person's gaze is directed straight ahead, which gives the impression of being more forward.
