According to various embodiments, the operations performed by a module, program, or other component may be executed sequentially, in parallel, iteratively, or heuristically, or one or more of the operations may be executed in a different order, omitted, or one or more other operations may be added.

[0070] In the detailed description below, the longitudinal direction of the electronic device (101) may be defined as the 'Y-axis direction', the width direction as the 'X-axis direction', and / or the height direction (thickness direction) as the 'Z-axis direction'. In the detailed description below, references to the longitudinal direction, the width direction, and / or the height direction (or thickness direction) may indicate the longitudinal direction, the width direction, and / or the height direction (or thickness direction) of the electronic device.

[0071] In one embodiment, the fact that a component is oriented in a "certain direction" may be understood to include not only that the component is oriented in a "direction identical to the certain direction" but also that the component is oriented in a "direction parallel to the certain direction." It should be noted that when a component is said to overlap (or be stacked) with another component in the following description, the description of the arrangement relationship in the height direction described above may be applied.

[0072] In describing a direction, if 'yin / yang (- / +)' is not indicated, it can be interpreted to include both the + direction and the - direction unless otherwise defined. For example, 'Z-axis direction' can be interpreted to include both the +Z direction and the -Z direction. Similarly, 'X-axis direction' can be interpreted to include both the +X direction and the -X direction, and 'Y-axis direction' can be interpreted to include both the +Y direction and the -Y direction. However, in the XYZ spatial coordinate system illustrated in the drawing, if 'yin / yang (- / +)' is not indicated for an axis, the axis can be interpreted to point in the + direction unless otherwise specified. In describing a direction, pointing toward any one of the three axes of the orthogonal coordinate system can include pointing in a direction parallel to the axis.

[0073] Hereinafter, in the description of the electronic device (e.g., 100 of FIG. 2) described below, the 'first direction' may mean the -Y-axis direction or a direction parallel to the -Y-axis. The 'second direction' may mean the +Y-axis direction or a direction parallel to the +Y-axis direction. The 'third direction' may mean the Z-axis or X-axis direction or a direction parallel thereto. The 'third direction' may mean a direction perpendicular to the 'first direction' or the 'second direction.' The first to third directions described above may not necessarily be axial directions, but may mean an axis in which a vector component has a larger value. Or, they may mean a direction that is a certain angle away from the corresponding axis. The above description is based on the rectangular coordinate system described in the drawings for the sake of brevity of description, and it should be noted that the description of such directions or components does not limit the various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0074] FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a wearable electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0075] FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the front of a wearable electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0076] The configurations described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIG. 1. The configurations described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 20. The embodiments of FIGS. 2 and 3 may be combined with the embodiments of FIGS. 4 to 20. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 1 and 4 to 20.

[0077] The wearable electronic device (200) of FIGS. 2 and 3 may be substantially the same as the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1 and may be implemented to be wearable on a user's body.

According to one embodiment, as the wearing frame (202) slides with respect to the adjustment unit (not shown), the area of ​​the wearing frame (202) that comes into contact with the adjustment unit (not shown) may contract or expand. For example, the wearing frame (202) may move along a curved trajectory corresponding to the shape of the outer surface of the adjustment unit (not shown). According to various embodiments, the adjustment unit (not shown) may substantially contact or be supported on the rear (e.g., the occipital region of the user) of the user's body (e.g., the head) and may be slidably coupled with the wearing frame (202). According to various embodiments, the adjustment unit (not shown) may include a rotating handle. The rotary handle is positioned so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis (Z-axis direction) on the wearable electronic device (200), and the rotational motion of the rotary handle can be converted into linear motion within a control unit (not shown).

For example, the wearable electronic device (200) may display, on the display, at least a portion of an image associated with the surrounding environment captured by the VST camera assemblies (or VST camera modules) (204e, 204f) (or an object processed based on the at least portion and / or an object corresponding to the at least portion) as at least a portion of the VST content. Accordingly, the user may check at least a portion of the image captured by the VST camera assemblies (or VST camera modules) (204e, 204f), for example, an image associated with the surrounding environment. In one embodiment, the VST content may be generated by mixing content for a VR environment and at least a portion of an image captured through the VST camera assemblies (or VST camera modules) (204e, 204f). For example, the VST content may be generated by mixing content for a VR environment and a result of processing at least a portion of an image captured through the VST camera assemblies (or VST camera modules) (204e, 204f) (or a corresponding object). In one embodiment, the VST content may be generated based on at least a portion of an image captured through the VST camera assemblies (or camera modules) (204e, 204f). For example, the VST content may be generated based on a result of processing at least a portion of an image captured through the VST camera assemblies (or VST camera modules) (204e, 204f) (or a corresponding object).It should be noted that the above-described use of the VST camera assembly (or VST camera module) (204e, 204f) mentioned in the present disclosure is merely exemplary, and the embodiment(s) of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, the VST camera assembly (or VST camera module) (204e, 204f) may be changed to a camera assembly disposed on the front cover (311) of the housing (310).

[0107] According to one embodiment, the wearable electronic device (200) can obtain a visual image of an object or environment in a direction (Z-axis direction) that the user is looking at or that the wearable electronic device (200) is directed toward by using a plurality of camera assemblies (or camera modules) (204a, 204b, 204c, 204d). According to one embodiment, the wearable electronic device (200) can obtain a visual image of an object or environment in a direction (-Y direction) perpendicular to a direction that the user is looking at or that the wearable electronic device (200) is directed toward by using a plurality of camera assemblies (or camera modules) (204g, 204h).

[0108] According to one embodiment, a camera assembly (or camera module) (204a, 204d) disposed on the front cover (311) may be disposed on a higher portion of the front cover (311) or the housing (310) than other camera assemblies (or camera modules) (204b, 204c) disposed on the front cover (311) (or may be exposed through an opening formed in the front cover (311)). The camera assembly (or camera module) (204a, 204d) disposed on the front cover (311) may capture an image of an area or space corresponding to a relatively upper side of at least one point of the housing (210) or the front cover (311), for example, when a user wears the wearable electronic device (200). The image acquired by the camera assembly (or camera module) (204a, 204d) disposed on the front cover (311) may be used, for example, for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and / or 6DoF (degree of freedom), and / or for recognition and / or tracking of a subject in a photographed image area or space. The image acquired by the camera assembly (or camera module) (204a, 204d) disposed on the front cover (311) may also be used for head tracking.

[0109] According to one embodiment, the camera assembly (or camera module) (204b, 204c) disposed on the front cover (311) may be disposed lower than other camera assemblies (or camera modules) (204a, 204d) disposed on the front cover (311). The camera assembly (or camera module) (204b, 204c) disposed on the front cover (311) may capture an image of an angle of view or field of view (FOV) based on at least one point of the front cover (311) (or housing (310)), for example, an image of an area or space corresponding to a relatively lower side when a user wears the wearable electronic device (200). For example, when the camera assembly (or camera module) (204a, 204d) disposed on the front cover (311) is defined to capture a spatial image of the upper side of the housing (310), the camera assembly (or camera module) (204b, 204c) disposed on the front cover (311) can be understood to capture a spatial image of the lower side of the housing (310) or the front cover (311). The image acquired by the camera assembly (or camera module) (204b, 204c) disposed on the front cover (311) can be used for recognition and / or tracking of a subject in the captured image area or space. For example, an image acquired by a camera assembly (or camera module) (204b, 204c) disposed on the front cover (311) can be used for recognition and / or tracking of a subject, for example, a user's hand, disposed relatively lower than a portion corresponding to the head when the user wears the wearable electronic device (200). According to one embodiment, a camera assembly (or camera module) (204g, 204h) disposed on the side structure (312) can capture an image of an angle of view or field of view (FOV) based on at least one point of the housing (310), for example, an image of an area or space corresponding relatively lower when the user wears the wearable electronic device (200).The camera assembly (or camera module) (204g, 204h) disposed on the side structure (312) may be understood to capture a spatial image of the lower side of the housing (310). The image acquired by the camera assembly (or camera module) (204g, 204h) disposed on the side structure (312) may be used for recognition and / or tracking of a subject disposed relatively lower than a portion corresponding to the head, for example, a user's hand or a body part excluding the user's head, when the user wears the wearable electronic device (200).

[0110] In the present disclosure, 'the upper side corresponding to the camera assembly (or camera module) (204a, 204d) disposed on the upper side of the front cover (311)', 'the lower side corresponding to the camera assembly (or camera module) (204b, 204c) disposed on the lower side of the front cover (311)', and 'the lower side corresponding to the camera assembly (or camera module) (204g, 204h) disposed on the side structure (312) disposed on the lower side of the housing (310)' are defined based on the user's viewpoint when the user wears the wearable electronic device (200), and a part relatively closer to the ground may be named as the lower side and a part relatively farther from the ground may be named as the upper side. For example, when describing the positions of the camera assemblies (or camera modules) (204a, 204b, 204c, 204d, 204g, 204h), distinguishing between the upper and lower portions is for convenience of explanation, and the definition of such relative positions may be appropriately changed depending on the user's wearing state, the user's posture, or the actual usage environment. Alternatively, the camera assemblies (204a, 204b, 204c, 204d, 204g, 204h) arranged on the front cover (311) or the side structure (312) may be appropriately changed to VST camera assemblies (or VST camera modules) from the perspective of a person skilled in the art.

[0111] It should be noted that the above-described references to information extracted from images acquired by the camera assembly (or camera module) (204a, 204b, 204c, 204d) disposed on the front cover (311) described in the present disclosure and the camera assembly (or camera module) (204g, 204h) disposed on the side structure (312) or its use are merely exemplary, and the embodiment(s) of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0112] Below, descriptions of the housing (310), camera assembly (304a to 304h) and glass cover (314) of the main body (301) that are not described may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIGS. 5 to 20.

[0113] FIG. 6A is an exploded side view showing a housing and cover in which a camera assembly of a main body of a wearable electronic device is arranged, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0114] FIG. 6b is a conceptual diagram of a cross-section in which a camera assembly is arranged in area S1 of FIG. 6a according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0115] The configurations described with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. The configurations described with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 7A to 20. The embodiments of FIGS. 6A and 6B may be combined with the embodiments of FIGS. 7A to 20. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 1 to 5. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 7A to 20.

[0116] According to one embodiment, a wearable electronic device (e.g., 200 of FIG. 2) may include a main body (301). The main body (301) may include a housing (310). The housing (310) may include a front cover (311) facing the front (-Z direction) of the main body (301), a rear cover (313) facing the rear (-Z direction) opposite to the front, and a side structure (312) surrounding a space between the front cover (311). The front cover (311) may include at least one opening (3111). The housing (310) may include a plurality of openings (3111) in the front cover (or front portion) (311). The wearable electronic device (200) may include a plurality of camera assemblies (304a to 304f). A plurality of camera assemblies (304a to 304f) can be arranged in a plurality of openings (3111).

[0117] According to one embodiment, the main body (301) may include a glass cover (314) covering the front cover (311). The glass cover (314) may protect the front cover (311) of the housing (310). The glass cover (314) may protect the camera assembly (304a to 304f) disposed on the front cover (311).

[0118] According to one embodiment, the main body (301) may include at least one camera assembly (304d). A portion of the camera assembly (304d) may be positioned in an opening (3111) formed in a curved portion of the front cover (311) of the housing (310). The apex (or center of the lens) of the lens (321d) of the camera assembly (304d) may be positioned to be aligned with the center of the opening (3111) of the front cover (311). For example, when the opening (3111) and the camera lens (321d) have a circular structure, the geometric center of the perimeter of an imaginary circle surrounding the opening (3111) may coincide with the geometric center of the lens (321d).

[0119] In one embodiment, the camera assembly (304d) may include a camera (320d) including a lens (321d) and a lens barrel (322d) surrounding the lens (321d). A portion of the camera (320d) may be positioned in the opening (3111). The camera (320d) may be positioned to be aligned with the center of the opening (3111). The camera (320d) may be positioned to be aligned with a direction in which the opening (3111) faces. At least a portion of the lens barrel (322d) of the camera (320d) may be positioned in the opening (3111). The camera (320d) can transmit information about the subject that has reached the image sensor (not shown) disposed inside the lens barrel (322d) through the printed circuit board (e.g., 3222g of FIG. 7b) via light reflected from the subject through the camera lens (321d). The camera (320d) of the camera assembly (304d) can be arranged in a straight line with the direction in which the opening (3111) faces, thereby preventing a reduction in the angle of view due to the curved portion of the housing (310). Since the camera (320d) is arranged in alignment with the direction in which the opening (3111) faces, the stress on the lens barrel (322d) due to a portion of the front cover (311) surrounding the opening (3111) can be reduced, thereby increasing the durability of the camera (320d).

[0120] According to one embodiment, the camera assembly (304d) may include a bracket (340d). The bracket (340d) may be coupled inside the front cover (3111) of the housing (310) in a direction toward the opening (3111). The bracket (340d) may include a coupling portion (e.g., 342g of FIG. 7C) coupled with the housing (310) and a space (or receiving portion) (e.g., 341g of FIG. 7C) in which the camera is accommodated. The bracket (340d) may include a first surface (3411) facing the rear surface (3221d) of the lens barrel (322d) and a second surface (3412) extending from the first surface (3411) and surrounding a portion of the lens barrel (322d) to provide a space for accommodating a portion of the camera (320d). The bracket (340d) can support the camera assembly (304d) toward the opening (3111) by transmitting the support force coupled to the housing (310) through the joint (e.g., 342g of FIG. 7c) to the lens barrel (322d) through the support member (330d) of the camera assembly (304d) on the first surface (3411).

[0121] According to one embodiment, the camera assembly (304d) may include a support member (330d) disposed between a rear surface (3221d) of the lens barrel (322d) and a first surface (3411) of the bracket (340d). The support member (330d) may include a dome structure (e.g., 4332 of FIG. 10A) protruding toward either the rear surface (3221d) of the lens barrel or the first surface (3411) of the bracket (340d). The support member (330d) may include a plate (331d) disposed on the first surface (3411) or the rear surface (3221d) of the lens barrel (322d) that is disposed in an opposite direction to which the dome structure (e.g., 432 of FIG. 10A) faces. The support member (330d) can transfer the support force transmitted from the first surface (3411) of the bracket (340d) to the plate through the dome structure to support the camera (320d) in the direction of the opening (3111). The dome structure (e.g., 432 in FIG. 10a) of the support member (330d) can allow the bracket (340d) to be inclined with respect to the rear surface (3221d) of the lens barrel. Even if the bracket (340d) is tilted when assembling the camera assembly (304d) to the curved portion of the housing (310) by allowing the bracket (340d) to be inclined with respect to the camera (320d) due to the support member (330d), the camera (320d) can be aligned in the direction facing the opening (3111). For example, even if the camera assembly (304d) is assembled at an angle with respect to the direction in which the opening (3111) faces during the process of assembling inside the housing (310), the bracket (340d) can be inclined through the dome structure of the support member (330d) and the camera (320d) can still be partially aligned with the opening (3111) in the direction in which the opening (3111) faces.

[0122] It should be noted that the camera assembly (304d) described with reference to FIGS. 6a and 6b is not limited thereto and may be changed to a camera assembly (304a to 304f) disposed on the front cover.

[0123] Configurations not described below may be combined with or substantially identical to the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 7a to 20.

[0124] FIG. 7A is a drawing of a camera assembly coupled to a side of a housing of a wearable electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

The configurations described with reference to FIGS. 7A to 7C may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 20. The embodiments of FIGS. 7A to 7C may be combined with the embodiments of FIGS. 8 to 20. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 1 to 6B. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 8 to 20.

[0128] According to one embodiment, a wearable electronic device (e.g., 200 of FIG. 2) may include a main body (301). The main body (301) may include a housing (310). The housing (310) may include a front cover (311) facing the front (-Z direction) of the main body (301), a rear cover (313) facing the rear (-Z direction) opposite to the front, and a side structure (312) surrounding a space between the front cover (311). The side structure (312) may include at least one opening (3121). The side structure (312) may be connected to the face portion (303). The side structure (312) of the housing (310) may include a curved portion at a position corresponding to a nose pad (3021) of the mounting portion (302). The housing (310) may include a first fastening portion (3122) having a first fastening hole (31221) formed on the inner surface thereof. The housing (310) may include a second fastening portion (3123) having a second fastening hole (31231) formed on the inner surface thereof. The housing (310) may include fastening portions (3122, 3123) on the inner surface thereof. The fastening portions (3122, 3123) may be fastened to the coupling portions (342g, 343g) of the bracket (340g) of the camera assembly (304g) through screws (351, 352). The housing (310) may include a plurality of openings (3121) in the side structure (312). The camera assemblies (304g, 304h) may be disposed in the plurality of openings (3121).

[0129] According to one embodiment, the main body (301) may include at least one camera assembly (304g, 304h). A portion of the camera assembly (304g, 304h) may be disposed in an opening (3131) formed in a curved portion of a side structure (312) of the housing (310). The camera assembly (304g, 304h) may be coupled to the side structure (312) of the housing (310) such that a portion thereof is disposed in the opening (3121) so as to face in a direction from the inside to the outside of the housing (310) (or in the first direction (-Y)). The apex (or center of the lens) of the lens (321g, 321h) of the camera assembly (304g, 304h) may be disposed to be aligned with the center of the opening (3121) of the side structure (312). For example, if the opening (3111) and the camera lens (321g, 321h) have a circular structure, the geometric center of the perimeter of the virtual circle surrounding the opening (3121) may coincide with the geometric center of the lens (321g, 321h).

[0130] In one embodiment, the camera assembly (304g) may include a camera (320g) including a lens (321g) and a lens barrel (322g) surrounding the lens (321g). A portion of the camera (320g) may be disposed in the opening (3121). The camera (320g) of the camera assembly (304g) may be disposed in a straight line with the direction in which the opening (3121) faces, thereby preventing a reduction in the angle of view due to a curved portion of the housing (310). By arranging the camera (320g) in alignment with the direction in which the opening (3121) faces, stress on the lens barrel (322g) due to a portion of the side structure (312) surrounding the opening (3121) may be reduced, thereby increasing the durability of the camera (320g).

[0131] In one embodiment, the camera assembly (304g) may include a bracket (340g). The bracket (340g) may be coupled inside the side structure (312) of the housing (310) in a direction toward the opening (3121). The bracket (340g) may include a first side (e.g., 3411 of FIG. 6B) facing the rear surface (3221g) of the lens barrel (322g) and a second side (e.g., 3412 of FIG. 6B) extending from the first side (e.g., 3411 of FIG. 6B) and surrounding a portion of the lens barrel (322g) to provide a space for accommodating a portion of the camera (320g). The bracket (340g) can transfer a support force coupled to the housing (310) through the coupling portions (342g, 343g) to the lens barrel (322g) through the support member (330g) of the camera assembly (304g) on ​​the first surface (e.g., 3411 in FIG. 6b) to support the camera assembly (304g) toward the opening (3121). A portion of the camera (320g) can be coupled to the inside of the housing (310) so that it is positioned in the opening (3121). The bracket (340g) can be positioned so that the support member (330g) disposed on the back surface of the lens barrel (322g) of the coupled camera (320g) and the first surface (e.g., 3411 in FIG. 6b) of the bracket come into contact. The bracket (340g) can be arranged so that the joining holes (e.g., 4421 in FIG. 9) formed in the joining portions (342g, 343g) are aligned with the joining holes (31221, 31231) formed in the fastening portions (3122, 3123) arranged on the inside of the housing (310). The bracket can be fastened to the inside of the housing (310) by a screw (351, 352) that is arranged to penetrate the fastening holes (31221, 31231) and the joining hole (e.g., 4421 in FIG. 9).

[0132] According to one embodiment, the camera assembly (304g) may include a support member (330g) disposed between a rear surface (3221g) of a lens barrel (322g) and a first surface (e.g., 3411 of FIG. 6B) of a bracket (340g). The support member (330g) may include a dome structure (e.g., 4332 of FIG. 10A) protruding toward either the rear surface (3221g) of the lens barrel or the first surface (e.g., 3411 of FIG. 6B) of the bracket (340g). The support member (330g) may include a plate (331g) disposed on the first surface (e.g., 3411 of FIG. 6B) or the rear surface (3221g) of the lens barrel (322g) that is disposed in an opposite direction to which the dome structure (e.g., 432 of FIG. 10A) faces. The dome structure (e.g., 432 in FIG. 10a) of the support member (330g) can allow the bracket (340g) to be inclined with respect to the back surface of the lens barrel (e.g., 3411 in FIG. 6b).

[0133] It is noted that the camera assembly (304g) described with reference to FIGS. 7a to 7c is not limited thereto and may be changed to a camera assembly (304h) disposed in the side structure (312).

[0134] Configurations not described below may be combined with or substantially identical to the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 20.

[0135] FIG. 8 is a side perspective view of a camera assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0136] FIG. 9 is a side exploded view of a camera assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0137] The configurations described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9 may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7c. The configurations described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9 may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 10a to 20. The embodiments of FIGS. 8 and 9 may be combined with the embodiments of FIGS. 10a to 20. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 1 to 7c. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 10a to 20.

[0138] In one embodiment, the camera assembly (404) may include a camera (420). The camera (420) may be a VST camera. The camera (420) may allow a user to recognize an external subject through information displayed on a display member (e.g., 205 of FIG. 3) inside a wearable electronic device (e.g., 200 of FIG. 3) via a processor that processes light reflected from an external subject into information. The camera (420) may be positioned inside a housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4) such that a portion of the camera is positioned in an opening (e.g., 3111 of FIG. 5) of the housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4). The camera (420) may be aligned with the direction of the opening (e.g., 3111 of FIG. 5).

[0139] According to one embodiment, the camera (420) may include a lens (421). The lens (421) of the camera (420) may allow light reflected from an external subject to pass through it. The lens (421) may adjust the optical path of light entering from the outside. The lens (421) may have a circular shape when viewed from above. The lens (421) may have a shape corresponding to a cross-section in which an opening (e.g., 3111 of FIG. 5) of a housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4) is formed. For example, when the cross-section of the opening (e.g., 3111 of FIG. 5) is circular and is surrounded by a portion of a front cover (e.g., 311 of FIG. 5), the shape of the lens (421) may be circular corresponding to the shape of the opening (3111). The cross-section of the lens (421) may have a shape including a convex curved surface facing the outside of the housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4) (or in the first direction (-Y direction)). The apex of the convex lens (421) may be located at the center when the lens (421) is viewed from above. For example, when the lens (421) is viewed from above, the apex of the lens (421) may be located at the center of a circle if the lens (421) is circular. However, it should be noted that the lens (421) may only have a circular shape at part thereof, and other parts may have a shape other than a circle.

[0140] In one embodiment, the camera (420) may include a lens barrel (422). The lens barrel (422) may form the exterior of the camera (420). The lens barrel (422) may be referred to substantially the same as a barrel or case of the camera. The lens barrel (422) may be configured to surround the lens (421). The lens barrel (422) may have a cylindrical shape. The lens barrel (422) may have a shape corresponding to the shape of the lens (421) when the lens (421) is viewed from above. The lens barrel (422) may include a rear surface (4221). The rear surface (4221) may face the interior of a housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4). The rear surface (4221) may be a square, a pentagon, or a circle. The back surface (4221) may correspond to the shape of the first surface of the bracket (e.g., 3411 in FIG. 6B). The lens barrel (422) may form the exterior of the camera (420) and may include a side wall (4222) surrounding the lens (421) and the back surface (4221). The side wall (4222) of the lens barrel (422) may extend from the back surface (4221) toward the lens (421) and may have different widths in each section. For example, the section closer to the back surface (4221) may be configured with a first width, and the section closer to the lens (421) may be configured with a second width. The side wall (4222) may surround the back surface in a shape corresponding to the back surface (4221). For example, a portion surrounding the back surface (4221) may have a square column shape if the back surface (4221) is square, and a portion extending toward the lens (421) may have a cylindrical shape. A portion of the lens barrel (422) may be positioned in an opening (e.g., 3111 of FIG. 5). The lens barrel (422) may include an image sensor (not shown) therein. The lens barrel (422) may include a printed circuit board (or flexible printed circuit board) (e.g., 3222g of FIG. 7b).A lens barrel (422) can be positioned in an opening (e.g., FIG. 3111) to prevent horizontal movement of the camera (e.g., X-axis movement or Z-axis movement). The lens barrel (422) can be restrained by a portion of the housing (310). The lens barrel (422) forms the exterior of the camera (420) and can protect the lens (421) and electronic components (e.g., image sensor) inside the camera.

[0141] According to one embodiment, the camera assembly (404) may include a support member (430). The support member (430) may include a plate (431) disposed on a rear surface (4221) of the lens barrel or a first surface (e.g., 4411 of FIG. 10A) of the bracket. The plate (431) may face the rear surface (4221) or the first surface (e.g., 4411 of FIG. 10A) of the lens barrel to transmit a support force to the camera (420). The plate (431) may have a shape corresponding to the rear surface (4221) or the first surface (e.g., 4411 of FIG. 10A) of the lens barrel (422). The support member (430) may include a dome structure (432) in which a portion of the plate (431) protrudes. The dome structure (432) can protrude toward either the rear surface (4221) of the lens barrel or the first surface (4311) of the bracket. The dome structure (432) can contact the rear surface (4221) of the lens barrel or the first surface (4311) of the curved portion (4321) of the dome structure and move along the tangent direction of the curved portion (4321) to maintain the alignment of the camera (420). For example, when the camera assembly (404) is coupled to a housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4), if the bracket (440) is coupled at an angle and not aligned with the direction of the opening (e.g., 3111 of FIG. 5), the dome structure can slide along the curved surface (4311) so that the first surface (4411) corresponds to the tangent line of the curved surface (4311), thereby maintaining the alignment of the camera (420).

[0142] According to one embodiment, the camera assembly (404) may include a bracket (440). The bracket (440) may include a receiving portion (or mounting portion) (441) that provides a space for receiving the camera (420) and a coupling portion (442, 443) that is coupled to a housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4). The coupling portions (442, 443) may be positioned on one or both sides of the receiving portion (441). The receiving portion (441) may include a first surface (4411) that faces the rear surface (4221) of the lens barrel (422). The first surface (4411) may refer to a mounting surface on which the camera (420) and the support member (430) are coupled and received. For example, a camera assembly (404) may include a camera (420), a support member (430), and a first surface (4411) aligned in a straight line. A receiving portion (441) may include a second surface (4412) extending from the first surface (4411) and providing a space for receiving the camera. The second surface (4412) may be disposed around a portion of a lens barrel (422). The second surface (4412) may include a continuous surface. The second surface (4412) may be formed as a surface that is partially broken to provide a passage through which a printed circuit board (or a flexible printed circuit board) connected to the lens barrel (422) is connected. The second surface (4412) may be disposed spaced apart from at least a portion of the lens barrel (422). By being spaced apart, the second surface (4412) may not restrict horizontal movement of the camera (420). For example, the camera (420) may be horizontally constrained in the opening (4212) and may be spaced apart from the bracket (440) without being constrained. The coupling portions (442, 443) may include a first coupling portion (442) and a second coupling portion (443). The coupling portions (442, 443) may include coupling holes (4421, 4431). The coupling holes (4421, 4431) may include a first coupling hole (4421) and a second coupling hole (4431).The coupling portions (442, 443) can be fastened to the fastening portions (e.g., 3122, 3123 of FIG. 7c) by aligning the coupling holes (4421, 4431) of the fastening portions (e.g., 3122, 3123 of FIG. 7c) of the housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4) with the fastening holes (e.g., 3122, 3123 of FIG. 7c). The coupling portions (442, 444) can be fastened to the housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4) by arranging the fastening holes (e.g., 31221, 31231 of FIG. 7c) with screws (e.g., 351, 352 of FIG. 7c) penetrating the fastening holes (4421, 4431).

[0143] According to one embodiment, the camera assembly (404) may include an adhesive member (450). The adhesive member (450) may be disposed on either the rear surface (4221) of the lens barrel or the first surface (4411) of the bracket. The adhesive member (450) may be disposed on the rear surface (4221) of the lens barrel or the first surface (4411) of the bracket to secure the support member (430). The support member (430) may be secured by being disposed on or in contact with the adhesive member (450).

[0144] FIG. 10A is a cross-sectional view of a camera assembly coupled to a side structure of a housing according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0145] FIG. 10b is a cross-sectional view of a camera assembly coupled to a side structure of a housing according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0146] The configurations described with reference to FIGS. 10A and 10B may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9. The configurations described with reference to FIGS. 10A and 10B may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 20. The embodiments of FIGS. 10A and 10B may be combined with the embodiments of FIGS. 11 to 20. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 1 to 9. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 11 to 20.

[0147] According to one embodiment, a wearable electronic device (e.g., 200 of FIG. 3) may include a housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4) of a main body (e.g., 301 of FIG. 5). The housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4) may include a side structure (412). The side structure (412) may include a curved surface or a curved portion. The side structure (412) may be formed as a curved surface to surround a lateral direction of the main body (e.g., 301 of FIG. 5). The side structure (412) may be formed as a curved surface including a plurality of curvatures. The side structure (412) may include a curved portion at a position corresponding to a nose pad of a face portion (e.g., 203 of FIG. 4). The side structure (412) may have an opening (4121) formed in the curved portion. The opening (4121) may be formed in a direction from the inside of the housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4) toward the outside. The opening (4121) may be formed to face the first direction (-Y direction). When the opening (4121) is viewed from above or when the opening (4121) is viewed from the outside of the housing, a portion of the side structure (412) may surround the opening (4121) in a circular shape.

[0148] In one embodiment, the side structure (412) can include a ring member (460) disposed in the opening (4121) and arranged along a portion of the side structure (412) surrounding the opening. The ring member (460) can be an annular structure disposed in the opening (4121). The ring member (460) can restrict movement with respect to a direction (X-axis direction) perpendicular to a first direction (-Y direction) of the camera assembly (404). The ring member (460) can surround a portion of a lens barrel (422) of the camera (420). The ring member (460) can include an outer diameter and an inner diameter. An outer peripheral surface of the ring member (460) having an outer diameter can be in contact with a surface (4122) of a portion of the side structure (412) surrounding the opening (4121). The ring member (460) has a circumferential surface (4601) having an inner diameter that contacts the outer surface of the side wall (4222) of the lens barrel (422) to transmit a supporting force in the vertical direction (X-axis direction).

[0149] According to one embodiment, the main body (e.g., 201 of FIG. 3) may include a camera assembly (404) having a portion disposed in an opening (4121) of a side structure (412). The camera assembly (404) may include a camera (420). A portion of the camera (420) may be disposed in the opening (4121). The camera (420) may be disposed in a space surrounded by a peripheral surface (4601) of a ring member (460) having a portion disposed in the opening (4121). An internal space formed by the peripheral surface (4601) of the ring member (460) may be a part of the opening (4121). The camera (420) may be disposed such that a portion thereof is aligned in a direction facing the opening (4121). The camera (420) may be disposed aligned within the opening (4121). The camera (420) may be aligned in the first direction (-Y direction) so that a portion thereof may be placed in the opening (4121). The camera (420) may be aligned in a direction from the outside to the inside of the housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4) so ​​that a portion thereof may be placed in the opening (4121).

[0150] In one embodiment, the camera (420) may include a lens (421) and a lens barrel (422). The lens (421) may be positioned in the opening (4121) such that its center is aligned with the opening when viewed from above. The lens (421) may be positioned such that a portion thereof protrudes from the opening (4121) toward the outside of the housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4). The lens barrel (422) may be positioned to surround the lens (421). A portion of the lens barrel (422) may be positioned in the opening (4121). The lens barrel (422) may be positioned in the opening (4121) such that its center is aligned with the opening (4121) when viewed from above. The lens barrel (422) may include sidewalls (4222) and a rear surface (4221) to surround the lens (421). The back surface (4221) may be positioned to face the +Y direction opposite to the first direction. The lens barrel (422) may include a printed circuit board (or flexible printed circuit board) (4223) connected to an image sensor (not shown) therein.

[0151] According to one embodiment, the camera assembly (404) may include a support member (430). The support member (430) may include a plate (431) and a dome structure (432). The plate (431) of the support member may be disposed on a rear surface (4221) of the lens barrel (422) or a first surface (4411) of the bracket. The plate (431) may be disposed on the rear surface (4221) of the lens barrel (422) or the first surface (4411) of the bracket to support the camera (420). The dome structure (432) may protrude from the plate (431) in a direction opposite to the direction in which the plate (431) is disposed, i.e., toward the first surface (4411) of the bracket or the rear surface (4221) of the lens barrel (422). The dome structure (432) may include a curved surface (4321) that protrudes and contacts the first surface (4411) of the bracket or the back surface (4221) of the lens barrel. The camera (420) may be aligned in the direction in which the opening (4121) faces even when the bracket (440) is tilted by the dome structure (432) of the support member. For example, when the dome structure (432) contacts the first surface (4411), the first surface (4411) moves along the tangent of the curved surface (4322) of the dome structure (432) as the bracket (440) is tilted, and the camera (420) may be aligned in the direction in which the opening (4121) faces and may be maintained without being tilted. According to one embodiment, the support member (430) may support the camera (420) by having a dome structure (432) in contact with the first surface (4411), and the plate (431) disposed on the back surface (4221) of the lens barrel. The dome structure (432) may be configured such that the bracket (440) can move relative to the camera (420). For example, when the camera (420) is facing the first direction (-Y direction), the first surface (4411) of the bracket (440) may be coupled to a housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4) at an angle along the curved surface (4321) of the dome structure, and may transmit a supporting force toward the center of the curvature of the curved surface (4321) of the dome structure through the first surface (4411).The supporting force can be transmitted in a direction perpendicular to an imaginary tangent line at a portion where the curved surface (4321) of the dome structure contacts the first surface (4411). The direction in which the dome structure (432) faces can be equally applied not only when it faces the first surface (4411) but also when it faces the rear surface (4221) of the lens barrel. The supporting member (430) can include a first portion spaced apart from one of the rear surface (4221) of the lens barrel or the first surface (4411) of the bracket, and a second portion spaced apart from one of the rear surface (4221) of the lens barrel or the first surface (4411) of the bracket. The supporting member (430) can include a third portion integrally connected with the first portion and the second portion between the one portion and the other portion. The first to third portions can integrally form one plate (431). The support member (430) may include a protrusion (432) protruding from the third portion toward the other one of the rear surface (4221) of the barrel or the first surface (4411) of the bracket, where the first and second portions are disposed. The protrusion (432) may include a guide surface (or curved surface) (4321) that contacts the other one of the rear surface (4221) of the lens barrel or the first surface (4411) of the bracket so that the other one of the rear surface (4221) of the lens barrel or the first surface (4411) of the bracket can move in a direction opposite to the rear surface (4221) or the first surface (4411) on which the plate (431) is disposed. The lens barrel (422) can align the camera (420) in the first direction (-Y direction) by transmitting a supporting force perpendicular to the tangent line at a portion where a part of the guide surface (4321) comes into contact with one of the rear surface (4221) or the first surface (4411). The first surface (4411) can be configured to be inclined (or tiltable) with respect to a direction perpendicular to the first direction (X-axis direction).The dome structure (432) may be configured to be able to slip (or slide) or tilt (or incline) with respect to the first surface (4411) of the bracket (440) or the back surface (4421) of the lens barrel.

[0152] In one embodiment, the camera assembly (404) may include a bracket (440). The bracket (440) may include a receiving portion (441) that provides a space for receiving at least a portion of the camera (420). The bracket (440) may include a first surface (4411) facing the lens (421) of the camera (420). The receiving portion (441) may include a first surface (4411). The first surface (4411) may form a bottom surface of the receiving portion (441). The first surface (4411) may be referred to as a mounting surface or receiving surface on which the camera is received in the bracket. The bracket (440) may include a second surface (4412) extending perpendicularly from the first surface (4411). The second surface (4412) may be arranged to surround a portion of the lens barrel (422) of the camera (420). The second surface (4412) may provide a space (4413) in which the camera is accommodated. The bracket may be arranged such that the first surface (4411) has a space (44132, 44133) spaced apart from the plate (431) of the support member. The first surface (4411) may be in contact with the dome structure (432) of the support member. The bracket may be arranged such that the second surface (4412) is spaced apart from a portion of the side wall (4222) of the lens barrel (422). The second surface (4412) may be arranged such that the lens barrel (422) of the camera (420) has a gap (or space) (44131, 44134). The second surface (4412) may be arranged to be spaced apart from a portion of the lens barrel (422) that is spaced apart from the ring member (460) at a predetermined distance, thereby allowing the camera (420) to move relative to the bracket (440). For example, the camera (420) may be restrained from horizontal movement (e.g., in the X-axis or Z-axis direction) from the opening (4121) or the ring member (460) arranged in the opening (4121), while the bracket (440) does not directly contact the lens barrel (422) and does not restrict horizontal movement, so that the camera (420) may be aligned with the opening (1121) independently of the bracket (440).

[0153] In one embodiment, the space (44132, 44133) between the first surface (4411) and the plate may allow the bracket (440) to tilt with respect to the plate (431). A first distance (D1) of the space (44132) between one side of the plate (431) and a corresponding side of the first surface (4411) may be greater than a second distance (D2) between the other side of the plate (431) and the corresponding other side of the first surface (4411). The bracket (440) may be arranged such that the first distance (D1) is tilted more than the second distance (D2) with respect to the rear surface (4221) of the lens barrel of the camera (420). The inclination of the plate (431) of the bracket (440) may be defined as a first inclination obtained by dividing the difference between the first distance (D1) and the second distance (D2) by the width (L1) of the plate (431) disposed on the rear surface (4221) of the lens barrel. Alternatively, it may refer to an angle between the rear surface (4221) of the barrel and the first surface (4411). A curved portion (e.g., a part of the side structure (412) of FIG. 10A) of the housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4) may be configured with a first curvature at a position corresponding to the opening (4121), and the first surface (4411) of the bracket (440) may be configured to have an inclination in which the first inclination changes according to the first curvature. The bracket (440) is configured to be tiltable with respect to the camera (420), so that when the camera assembly (404) is assembled inside the housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4), the center of the lens of the camera can be aligned with the center of the opening.

[0154] In one embodiment, the space (44131, 44134) between the second face (4412) and the camera (420) can allow the camera to move within the camera receiving space (4413) of the receiving portion (441) of the bracket (440). For example, when the bracket (440) is coupled inside the side structure (412), even if the center of the opening (4121) does not coincide with the center of the first face (4411) of the bracket, the camera (420) can slide through the dome structure (432) into the space (44131, 44134) between the second face (4412) and the camera (420), thereby aligning a portion of the camera (420) in the opening (4121) with the lens (421). When the bracket (440) is tilted with respect to the camera (420) through the space (44131, 44134) between the second face (4412) and the camera (420), the second face (4412) of the bracket (440) may not contact the camera (420).

[0155] According to one embodiment, when the bracket (440) and the camera (420) are placed in the opening (4121), the center of the opening (4121) and the center of the camera lens (421) can be aligned through the dome structure (432) of the support member (430) so that a portion of the camera (420) is parallel to the first direction (-Y direction). Through the support member (430), the camera (420) can be coupled to the inside of the housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4) (or the side structure (312)) in alignment with the direction of the opening (4121), and the bracket (440) can transmit a supporting force to the center of the curvature (4321) of the dome structure (432) of the support member (430) so that the camera (420) is placed in the opening (4122) and fixed thereto even when the bracket (440) is not necessarily aligned and tilts or moves horizontally.

[0156] In the present disclosure, the meaning of 'the configuration of the camera (420) (e.g., the lens (421) or the lens barrel (422)) is arranged to be aligned in a certain direction' can be interpreted to mean 'when the opening (4121) and the camera (420) are viewed from above, the center of the configurations of the camera assembly (404) are aligned so that they are perpendicular to the virtual diameter of a portion of the housing (310) surrounding the opening (4121) (or the peripheral surface (4601) of the ring member (460)) and toward the outside of the housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4)'. In this case, the virtual diameter may mean a straight line connecting the geometric perimeter (e.g., each corner of a square) across the shape formed by a portion of the side structure (412) surrounding the opening (4121) when the opening (4121) is viewed from above. Alternatively, when looking from above at a shape formed by a part of a structure of a housing (e.g., 210 in FIG. 4) surrounding an opening (4121), it may mean an imaginary straight line connecting the perimeter of the shape across the orthogonal projection shape. In addition, the first direction (-Y direction) is not limited to the direction described in the drawing, which is defined for convenience of explanation, and may mean both the direction in which the opening (4121) faces or the direction from the inside to the outside of the housing. In the present disclosure, the first direction (-Y direction) is not necessarily limited to the -Y direction, and may mean a direction from the inside to the outside of the housing (e.g., 210 in FIG. 4) through the opening (4121) while including all of the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions in the vector component of the direction. The camera (420) and the aperture (4121) described in the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and can be substantially equally applied to cameras (e.g., 304a in FIG. 5) and apertures (e.g., 3111 in FIG. 5) included in the main body (e.g., 201 in FIG. 3) of a wearable electronic device (e.g., 200 in FIG. 3).

[0157] In one embodiment, the width of the lens barrel (422) may be smaller than the width of the space (4413) of the bracket such that a gap (44131, 44134) is formed between the side surface of the lens barrel (422) and the second surface (4312) when the lens barrel (422) is placed in the receiving space (4413) of the bracket. For example, the gap (44131, 44134) may be configured such that a free space is formed between the bracket (440) and the camera (420), and when the bracket (440) is assembled into the housing, the camera (420) tilts or slips with respect to the bracket (440), such that the bracket (440) is placed at a designated position.

[0158] In one embodiment, the first side (4311) may be named a first inner side (4311). The second side (4312) may be named a second inner side (4312).

[0159] FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing a support member of a camera assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0160] The configurations described with reference to FIG. 11 may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10b. The configurations described with reference to FIG. 11 may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 20. The embodiments of FIG. 11 may be combined with the embodiments of FIGS. 12 to 20. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 1 to 10b. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 12 to 20.

[0161] According to one embodiment, a camera assembly (e.g., 404 of FIG. 10A) may include a support member (430). The support member (430) may be configured to movably support a camera (e.g., 420 of FIG. 10A) relative to a bracket (e.g., 440 of FIG. 10A). The support member (430) may be positioned between the camera (e.g., 420 of FIG. 10A) and the bracket (e.g., 440 of FIG. 10A). The support member (430) may include a plate (431). The plate (431) may be positioned between the camera (e.g., 420 of FIG. 10A) and the bracket (e.g., 440 of FIG. 10A). The plate (431) may be disposed on the back surface of the lens barrel (e.g., 4221 of FIG. 10A) or the first surface of the bracket (e.g., 4411 of FIG. 10A). The plate (431) may include a first plate surface (4311) that is disposed on and contacts the back surface of the lens barrel (e.g., 4221 of FIG. 10A) or the first surface of the bracket (e.g., 4411 of FIG. 10A). The plate (431) may include a second plate surface (4312) that faces in the opposite direction to the first plate surface (4311). The plate (431) may include a square, circular, or pentagonal shape. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be formed in a shape corresponding to the shape of the back surface of the lens barrel (e.g., 4221 of FIG. 10A).

[0162] In one embodiment, the support member (430) may include a dome structure (432). The dome structure (432) may protrude from the second plate surface (4312) of the plate (431) in an opposite direction from the first plate surface (4311). The dome structure (432) may be configured to protrude from the plate (431) and contact the first surface of the bracket (e.g., 4411 of FIG. 10A) or the rear surface of the lens barrel (e.g., 4221 of FIG. 10A). The dome structure (432) may be positioned at the center of the second plate surface (4312). The dome structure (432) may be arranged such that the geometric center of the dome structure (432) coincides with the geometric center of the second plate surface (4312). The dome structure (432) may include a curved surface (4321) protruding in the opposite direction from the first plate surface (4311). The curved surface (4321) of the dome structure (432) may contact a first surface of the bracket (e.g., 4411 of FIG. 10A) or a rear surface of the lens barrel (e.g., 4221 of FIG. 10A). The curved surface (4321) of the dome structure may contact the first surface of the bracket (e.g., 4411 of FIG. 10A) or the rear surface of the lens barrel (e.g., 4221 of FIG. 10A) so that the first surface of the bracket (e.g., 4411 of FIG. 10A) may move along a tangent of the curved surface (4321), thereby causing the bracket (e.g., 440 of FIG. 10A) to be inclined with respect to the rear surface of the lens barrel (e.g., 4221 of FIG. 10A). The bracket can support the camera (e.g., 420 in FIG. 10a) by transmitting a supporting force in a direction perpendicular to a tangent of the curved surface (4321) or in a direction toward the center of curvature of the curved surface through the first surface (e.g., 4411 in FIG. 10a). The supporting member (430) can be configured to transmit a supporting force toward the center of curvature through the curved surface (4321) regardless of the inclination angle of the bracket (e.g., 440 in FIG. 10a).For example, since the camera (e.g., 420 in FIG. 10a) can receive support force regardless of the tilt of the bracket (e.g., 440 in FIG. 10a) through the curved surface (4321), the camera (e.g., 420 in FIG. 10a) can be aligned with the opening (e.g., 4121 in FIG. 10a) even when the bracket (e.g., 440 in FIG. 10a) tilts or the bracket (e.g., 440 in FIG. 10a) is not aligned when assembling the camera assembly (e.g., 404 in FIG. 10a).

[0163] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second plate surface (4312) may refer to a flat seabed of the dome structure (432). The convex curved surface (4321) of the dome structure (432) may refer to a convex upper portion of the dome structure. The plate (431) may be formed on the second plate surface (4312) and include a first plate surface (4311) and a second plate surface (4312).

[0164] FIG. 12 is a conceptual diagram showing a cross-section of a camera assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0165] The configurations described with reference to FIG. 12 may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 11. The configurations described with reference to FIG. 12 may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 13a to 20. The embodiments of FIG. 12 may be combined with the embodiments of FIGS. 13a to 20. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 1 to 11. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 13a to 20.

[0166] According to one embodiment, the camera assembly (504) may include a camera (520), a support member (530), and a bracket (540). The camera (520) may utilize the camera of FIGS. 2 to 11 (e.g., 420 of FIG. 10b). The bracket (540) may utilize the camera of FIGS. 2 to 11 (e.g., 440 of FIG. 10b).

[0167] In one embodiment, the support member (530) may include a plate (531) and a dome structure (532). The plate (531) may be disposed on a first surface (5411) of the bracket. The dome structure (532) may protrude from the plate (531) toward the rear surface (5221) of the lens barrel and contact it. The dome structure (532) may include a convex curved surface (e.g., 4321 of FIG. 11B) toward the rear surface (5221) of the lens barrel. The camera (520) is aligned in the first direction (-Y direction), and the support member (530) may move relative to the rear surface (5221) of the lens barrel in a tangential direction in which the curved surface (e.g., 4321 of FIG. 11B) of the dome structure (532) contacts it. The bracket (540), which is in contact with the plate (531) through the curved surface (e.g., 4321 of FIG. 11b) of the dome structure (532), can tilt or slip with respect to the camera (520). The bracket (540) can transmit a supporting force to the camera (520) in a direction perpendicular to the tangent line at the point where the curved surface (e.g., 4321 of FIG. 11b) and the rear surface (5221) of the lens barrel contact each other through the curved surface (e.g., 4321 of FIG. 11b). Through this, even if only the bracket (540) moves relatively to the camera (520) and the bracket (540) is not aligned or tilted, the camera (520) can be aligned with the opening (e.g., 4121 of FIG. 10b) and fixed through the transmitted supporting force. Hereinafter, the description of the support member (530) that is not described may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 10A to 11. Alternatively, the descriptions of the support member (e.g., 430 of FIG. 11) described with reference to FIGS. 10A to 11 may be applied to the support member (530) of FIG. 12.

[0168] FIG. 13a is a conceptual diagram showing a cross-section of a support member and a bracket combined according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0169] FIG. 13b is a perspective view of a support member of a camera assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0170] The configurations described with reference to FIGS. 13a and 13b may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12. The configurations described with reference to FIGS. 13a and 13b may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 14a to 20. The embodiments of FIGS. 13a and 13b may be combined with the embodiments of FIGS. 14a to 20. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 1 to 12. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 14a to 20.

[0171] According to one embodiment, a camera assembly (e.g., 704a of FIG. 15a) may include a camera (e.g., 720a of FIG. 14a), a support member (630), and a bracket (640). The camera (e.g., 720a of FIG. 14a) may utilize a camera (e.g., 420 of FIG. 10a) described with reference to FIGS. 2 through 12.

[0172] In one embodiment, a camera assembly (e.g., 704a of FIG. 15A) may include a bracket (640). The bracket (640) may include a receiving portion (641) for receiving a camera (e.g., 720a of FIG. 15A). The bracket (640) may include a first surface (6411) facing a rear surface of a camera lens barrel (e.g., 4221 of FIG. 10B). The bracket (640) may include a second surface (6412) extending vertically from the first surface (6411) and providing a space for receiving the camera. The second surface (6412) may be positioned around a portion of the camera (e.g., 720a of FIG. 14A). The bracket (640) may include a bracket hole (6415) formed in the first surface (6411). A bracket hole (6415) may be formed from a first surface (6411) toward an outer surface (6414) of the bracket opposite to the first surface (6411) of the bracket (640). The bracket hole (6415) may be formed at a center of the first surface (6411). The bracket (640) may include a third surface (6416) surrounding the bracket hole (6415). The third surface (6416) may extend from the first surface (6411) along the bracket hole (6415) and be connected to the outer surface (6414) of the bracket.

[0173] According to one embodiment, a camera assembly (e.g., 704a of FIG. 15A) may include a support member (630). The support member (630) may be disposed between a camera (e.g., 720a of FIG. 15A) and a bracket (640). The support member (630) may be configured to movably support the camera (e.g., 720a of FIG. 15A) relative to the bracket (640). The support member (630) may include a plate (631) disposed on a first surface (6411) of the bracket (640). The plate (631) may include a first plate surface (6311) facing in a direction in which the first surface (6411) faces. The plate (631) may include a second plate surface (6312) contacting the first surface (6411).

[0174] In one embodiment, the support member (630) may include a pin (632). The pin (642) may be formed to protrude from the second plate surface (6312) toward the bracket hole (6415). The pin (642) may penetrate the bracket hole (6415). The pin (642) may be positioned to penetrate the bracket hole (6415).

[0175] In one embodiment, a portion (6421) of the pin (642) may be spaced apart from the third face (6416) and disposed in a bracket hole (6415). The portion (6421) of the pin may be referred to as a body or trunk of the pin. The trunk (6421) of the pin may be spaced apart from the third face (6416) to allow the support member (630) to move. By allowing the support member (630) to move without being constrained by the bracket hole (6415), even if the bracket (640) is not aligned with the opening (e.g., 4121 of FIG. 10B), a camera (e.g., 720a of FIG. 14A) coupled to the support member may be aligned with the opening (e.g., 4121 of FIG. 10B). The pin body (6321) can secure a degree of freedom between the camera (e.g., 720a in FIG. 14a) and the bracket (640) by spacing the body surface (63211) apart from the third surface (6416) so that the pin (632) of the support member (630) is not constrained. However, it should be noted that the degree of freedom is secured in the internal accommodation space (6413) of the bracket (640) rather than moving independently with respect to the bracket (640). The pin (632) may include a portion (6323) extending away from the outer surface (6414) of the bracket (640). The extended portion (6323) may be called an extension portion (6323) of the pin or a head (or head) of the pin. The head of the pin (6323) may include a head surface (63231) that may be parallel or inclined with the outer surface (6414).

[0176] In one embodiment, the pin (632) may include a fixing portion (6322) extending perpendicularly to the pin (632) so as to surround a body portion (6421) of the pin (632). The fixing portion (6322) may contact an outer surface (6414) of the bracket (640). The bracket (640) may transmit a supporting force in a direction perpendicular to the outer surface (6414) through an inner surface (or fixing surface) (63221) where the fixing portion (6322) contacts the outer surface (6414). The fixing portion (6322) may contact the outer surface (6414) to fix the supporting member (630) so as not to be separated from the bracket (640). The fixing portion (6322) may include an outer surface (63222) opposite to the inner surface (63221). The fixed portion (6322) may be referred to as the arm or arm of the pin.

[0177] FIG. 14a is a conceptual diagram showing a cross-section of a camera assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0178] The configurations described with reference to FIG. 14a may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 13b. The configurations described with reference to FIG. 14a may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 14b to 20. The embodiments of FIG. 14a may be combined with the embodiments of FIGS. 14b to 20. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 1 to 7c. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 10a to 20.

[0179] According to one embodiment, the camera assembly (704a) may include a camera (720), a support member (730a), and a bracket (740a). The camera described with reference to FIG. 14a may utilize the camera described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 13 (e.g., 420 of FIG. 10b). The bracket (740a) described with reference to FIG. 14a may utilize the bracket described with reference to FIGS. 13a and 13b (e.g., 640 of FIG. 13a).

[0180] The support member (730a) may include a plate (731a), a pin (732a), and a dome structure (733a). The plate (731a) and the pin (732a) may be used within a range that does not conflict with FIGS. 13a and 13b.

[0181] According to one embodiment, the support member (730a) may further include a dome structure (733a). The dome structure (733a) may protrude from the plate (731a) toward the rear surface (7221) of the lens barrel and contact it. The dome structure (733a) may include a convex curved surface (e.g., 4321 of FIG. 11B) toward the rear surface (7221) of the lens barrel. The camera (720) is aligned in the first direction (-Y direction), and the support member (730a) may move relative to the rear surface (7221) of the lens barrel in a tangential direction in which the curved surface (e.g., 4321 of FIG. 11B) of the dome structure (733a) contacts it. The bracket (740a), which is in contact with the plate (731a) through the curved surface (e.g., 4321 of FIG. 11b) of the dome structure (733a), can tilt or slip with respect to the camera (740). The bracket (740a) can transmit a supporting force to the camera (720) in a direction perpendicular to the tangent line at the point where the curved surface (e.g., 4321 of FIG. 11b) and the rear surface (7221) of the lens barrel contact each other through the curved surface (e.g., 4321 of FIG. 11b). Through this, even if only the bracket (740a) moves relatively to the camera (720) and the bracket (740a) is not aligned or tilted, the camera (720) can be aligned with the opening (e.g., 4121 of FIG. 10b) and fixed through the transmitted supporting force.

[0182] FIG. 14b is a conceptual diagram showing a cross-section of a camera assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0183] The configurations described with reference to FIG. 14b may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 14a. The configurations described with reference to FIG. 14b may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 14c to 20. The embodiments of FIG. 14b may be combined with the embodiments of FIGS. 14c to 20. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 1 to 13b. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 14c to 20.

[0184] According to one embodiment, the camera assembly (704b) may include a camera (720), a support member (730a), and a bracket (740a). The camera described with reference to FIG. 14a may utilize the camera described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 13 (e.g., 420 of FIG. 10b). The bracket (740a) described with reference to FIG. 14a may utilize the bracket described with reference to FIGS. 13a to 14a (e.g., 640 of FIG. 13a).

[0185] The support member (730b) may include a plate (731b), a pin (732b), and an elastic body (733b). The plate (731b) and the pin (732b) may be used within a range that does not conflict with FIGS. 13a to 14a.

[0186] According to one embodiment, the support member (730b) may include an elastic body (733b). The elastic body (733b) may be disposed between the rear surface (7221) of the lens barrel and the plate (731b). The elastic body (733b) may be configured to allow the bracket (740a) to tilt with respect to the camera (720). One side of the elastic body (733b) may be compressed, so that the distance between one side of the plate (731b) corresponding to one side of the elastic body and one side of the rear surface (7221) of the lens barrel may decrease. The other side of the elastic body (733b) may be expanded by elasticity, so that the distance between the other side of the plate (731b) corresponding to the other side of the elastic body (733b) and the other side of the rear surface (7221) of the lens barrel may increase. The distance between the rear surface (7221) of the lens barrel and each side of the plate (731) is made different by the elastic body (733b), so that the bracket (740a) can be tilted with respect to the camera (720). Through this, even if only the bracket (740a) is tilted relative to the camera (720), the camera (720) can be aligned with the opening (e.g., 4121 in FIG. 10b).

[0187] FIG. 14c is a conceptual diagram showing a cross-section of a camera assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0188] The configurations described with reference to FIG. 14c may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 14b. The configurations described with reference to FIG. 14c may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 15a to 20. The embodiments of FIG. 14c may be combined with the embodiments of FIGS. 15a to 20. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 1 to 14b. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 15a to 20.

[0189] According to one embodiment, the camera assembly (704c) may include a camera (720), a support member (730c), and a bracket (740b). The camera described with reference to FIG. 14c may be a camera described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 13 (e.g., 420 of FIG. 10b).

[0190] The support member (730c) may include a plate (731c), a pin (732c), and a dome structure (733c). The plate (731c) and the pin (732c) may be used within a range that does not conflict with FIGS. 13a and 13b.

[0191] In one embodiment, the bracket hole (7415b) may include a first bracket hole (74151b) formed in the first surface (7411). The first bracket hole (74151b) may be referred to as a first bracket hole (74151b) close to the first surface. In one embodiment, the bracket hole (7415b) may include a second bracket hole (74152b) extending from the first bracket hole (74151b) and penetrating into an outer surface (7414b) of the bracket. The second bracket hole (74152b) may be referred to as a second bracket hole (74152b) close to the outer surface. The width of the third-first surface (74161b) surrounding the first bracket hole (74151b) may be formed to be larger than the width of the third-second surface (74162b) surrounding the second bracket hole. The larger width may mean that the cross-sectional area of ​​the virtual shape formed by the surface surrounding the hole is larger when the hole is viewed from above. The second bracket hole (74152b) may extend toward the outer surface (7414b) so that the width of the second bracket hole (74152b) is smaller than that of the first bracket hole (74151b).

[0192] According to one embodiment, the camera assembly (704c) may include an elastic member (770) disposed in a first bracket hole (74151b) between a plate (731c) and a second bracket hole (74152b). The elastic member (770) may be disposed in the first bracket hole (74151b) and may be disposed to surround a portion of the pin (732c). The elastic member (770) may be disposed to surround a portion of the body portion (7321c) of the pin (732c). The elastic member (770) may be disposed between the pin (732c) and the third surface (7416b). The elastic member (770) may be disposed between the pin (732c) and one of the third surfaces (74161b). The elastic member (770) can be arranged between the pin (732c) and the third surface (7416b) to fill the space between the pin (732c) and the third surface (7416b). Even if the elastic member (770) fills the space between the pin (732c) and the third surface (7416b), when the support member (730c) moves, one side of the elastic member can be compressed and the other side can be expanded to secure the degree of freedom of the support member (730c) with respect to the bracket (740b). The elastic member (770) can be configured so that the support member (730c) can move without being restricted by the third surface (7416b) of the hole (7415c) of the bracket through the compression and expansion of the elastic member (or through the elastic force). Through this, even if the bracket (740b) is not aligned with the opening (e.g., 4121 of FIG. 10b), the camera (720) coupled to the support member can be aligned with the opening (e.g., 4121 of FIG. 10b). However, it should be noted that the degree of freedom is secured in the internal accommodation space (7413b) of the bracket (740b) rather than moving independently with respect to the bracket (740b). The elastic member (770) can secure movement within the bracket hole (7415b) of the pin (732c), while preventing joint problems caused by damage due to friction, impact, etc. between the pin (732c) and the bracket (740c).

[0193] FIG. 15A is a cross-sectional view of a camera assembly coupled to a side structure of a housing according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0194] FIG. 15b is a cross-sectional view of a camera assembly coupled to a side structure of a housing according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0195] The configurations described with reference to FIGS. 15A and 15B may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 14C. The configurations described with reference to FIGS. 15A and 15B may be substantially the same as the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 14C to 20. The embodiments of FIGS. 15A and 15B may be combined with the embodiments of FIGS. 16 to 20. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 1 to 14C. Configurations not described below may be substantially the same as the configurations of FIGS. 16 to 20.

[0196] According to one embodiment, a wearable electronic device (e.g., 200 of FIG. 3) may include a housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4) of a main body (e.g., 301 of FIG. 5). The housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4) may include a side structure (812). The side structure (812) may include a curved or curved portion. The side structure (812) may have an opening (8121) formed in the curved portion. The housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4) and the side structure (812) described with reference to FIGS. 15A, 15B, and 16 may be used in a non-collision range with the housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4) and the side structure (e.g., 412 of FIG. 10B) described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 14C.

[0197] According to one embodiment, a wearable electronic device (e.g., 200 of FIG. 3) may include a camera assembly (e.g., 804a of FIG. 15A) disposed in a body portion (e.g., 301 of FIG. 5). A portion of the camera assembly (e.g., 804a of FIG. 15A) may be disposed to align with an opening (8121) of a housing (e.g., 210 of FIG. 4) (or a side structure (812)). The camera assembly (e.g., 804a of FIG. 15A) may include a camera (820) and a bracket (840). The camera (820) may include a lens (821) and a lens barrel (822) surrounding the lens and having a portion positioned in the opening. The camera (820) and bracket (840) described with reference to FIGS. 15a, 15b, and 16 can be used to refer to the camera (e.g., 420 of FIG. 10a) and bracket (e.g., 440 of FIG. 10a) described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 14c, as long as they do not collide.

[0198] According to one embodiment, the camera assembly (804a) may include a first space (84132) between a first mounting portion (e.g., 84101 of FIG. 16) which is one side of the first surface (8411) and a corresponding side of the rear surface (8221) of the lens barrel. The camera assembly (804a) may include a second space (84133) between a second mounting portion (e.g., 84102 of FIG. 16) which is the other side of the first surface (8411) and the corresponding side of the rear surface (8221) of the lens barrel.

[0199] According to one embodiment, the camera assembly (804a) may include an elastic member (830a). The elastic member (830a) may be positioned between the rear surface (8221) of the lens barrel and the first surface (8411) of the bracket. The elastic member (830a) may be positioned changeably within the first space (84132) and the second space (84133). The elastic member (830a) may be formed integrally by extending along the first surface (8411). The elastic member (830a) may be configured to allow the bracket (840) to tilt with respect to the camera (820). The elastic body (833a) may expand on one side, so that the distance (D3) between one side of the first surface (8411) corresponding to one side of the elastic body and one side of the rear surface (8221) of the lens barrel (or the distance of the first space (84132)) may increase. The other side of the elastic body (833a) may be compressed by elasticity, so that the distance (D4) between the other side of the first surface (8411) corresponding to the other side of the elastic body (833a) and the other side of the rear surface (8221) of the lens barrel (or the distance of the second space (84133)) may decrease. The distances between each side of the rear surface (8221) of the lens barrel and the first surface (8411) may become different due to the elastic body (833a), so that the bracket (840) may tilt with respect to the camera (820). Through this, even if only the bracket (840) is tilted relative to the camera (820), the camera (820) can be aligned to the opening (8121).

[0200] The tilt in FIGS. 15A and 15B may refer to an incline. The incline may refer to a second slope obtained by dividing the difference between the first distance (D3) and the second distance (D4) by the width (L2) of the elastic body (830a). Alternatively, it may refer to the angle between the rear surface (8221) of the barrel and the first surface (8411).
