Abstract:
A touch panel is installed in an electronic device. The touch panel comprises a display module and a plurality of pressure detection modules. The display module is electrically located in the electronic device. The plurality of pressure detection modules are electrically coupled to the electronic device, and each of them contacts the bottom of the display module. Each pressure detection module can transmit corresponding different signals to the electronic device according to different pressures, so as to calculate a pressed position of the display module according to the corresponding different pressures sensed by the pressure detection modules.
Abstract:
A zoom lens control mechanism for changing a focal distance in an optical axis of a first lens set includes a zoom lens base, a lens support, and a switch device. The zoom lens base has an image pickup opening disposed in the optical axis of the first lens set. The lens support is disposed on the zoom lens base, with one end rotatably disposed on the zoom lens base, and the other end with a second lens set. Herein, when the lens support rotates, the second lens set shifts between an active position and a leaving position along the surface of the zoom lens base. When the second lens set is at the active position, the focal distance may be changed according to a curvature of the second lens set.
Abstract:
An electrical connector structure is provided. The electrical connector structure is applicable in an electronic device having a printed circuit board (PCB), and is electrically connected with the PCB via a flexible flat cable (FFC). The electrical connector structure includes a plurality of electrical terminals disposed on the PCB, and a sleeve lid disposed at the position corresponding to the electrical terminals. The sleeve lid is formed with an opening. The FFC extends into the opening to contact the electrical terminals. A blade spring disposed on the surface of the sleeve lid is used to press the FFC, making its contact with the electrical terminals compact.
Abstract:
A lens structure disposed in an image capturing device is provided, and is imaged by a lens group and an image capturing unit. When the user presses a zooming key of the image capturing device, a driving mechanism drives a zoom lens group having a plurality of lenses to rotate, so as to rotate one of the lenses to reach a position at the same optical axis as the lens group and the image capturing unit.
Abstract:
A digital camera with a lens being automatically retractable and an automatic retraction method thereof are provided. After the digital camera is turned on, it can continuously capture images from the outside at a predetermined time interval, and convert the images into corresponding image characteristic values and then compare them. When the characteristic values of the current image differ from the previous one and reach a predetermined difference, the lens exposed outside is automatically retracted, so as to reduce damage to the lens due to falling or heavy shaking of the digital camera.
Abstract:
A digital camera structure is provided, which is used for preventing deviation of a preset optical axis caused by a reaction force generated when pressing a shutter button. A conductive element parallel to the optical axis and located on a pressing path of the shutter button is disposed in the digital camera. By pressing the shutter button, the conductive element is deformed and reset in a direction parallel to the preset optical axis. Thus, the vibration in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis is prevented, thereby not influencing the imaging quality.
Abstract:
A battery holding structure for an electronic device is provided, which includes a battery chamber having an opening, a fixing member and a cover. The fixing member has a cantilever extending from the battery chamber to the opening. The cantilever has a pressing portion at the opening, and the cover has a pushing portion corresponding to the pressing portion. When the cover covers the opening, the pushing portion presses against the pressing portion and fixes the battery installed in the battery chamber.
Abstract:
A key structure is provided, which includes a plurality of contact members and a control member. Each of the contact members has an elastic portion and a fixed portion, and the control member has a pressing portion and a combining portion. The control member is selectively combined with an appropriate contact member according to actual requirements in the electrical connection.
Abstract:
A rotation sensor comprising a Y-shaped strip and a conducting strip is disposed in a digital imaging device. The conducting strip is disposed below the Y-shaped strip. The Y-shaped strip has two sensing arms and a fixed arm. A metal piece is disposed on each of the two sensing arms. When the sensing arm hangs down due to the weight of the metal piece to touch the conducting strip, the Y-shaped strip and the conducting strip will form a closed circuit and send out a signal. Whether the digital imaging device is rotated is determined based on this signal. Whether the device body is horizontal or vertical can thus be accurately and quickly determined. Moreover, because the detection is accomplished through gentle deformation or rotation of the sensing arms, there will be no noise during the detection process.
Abstract:
A two-in-one button structure includes a casing, a grounded plate, two signal plates, and two button bodies. The casing has two containing spaces and a plurality of guiding grooves respectively communicating with the two containing spaces. The grounded plate is contained in the two containing spaces. The two signal plates are separated from the grounded plate and are contained in the two containing spaces, respectively. The two button bodies are covering the two containing spaces, respectively. Each button body has a conductive element disposed on a bottom side thereof for allowing a conductive state to form between the grounded plate and a corresponding one of the two signal plates. Therefore, when one of the two button bodies is pressed, the grounded plate and the corresponding one of the two signal plates become conductive via the conductive element.
