Meizu's new patent is a big brain opener: embed headphones into mobile phones and act as cameras.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Xiao Zhan for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com February 2 news, Zhuhai Meizu Technology Co., Ltd. applied for "a kind of intelligent mobile terminal" recently announced, showing a combination of mobile phone and headset concept design.

According to the patent specification, as smart terminals (such as mobile phones and tablets) become more and more powerful, related matching devices are still separate, such as headphones, wired or wireless headphones. wired headphones cause great inconvenience, while wireless headphones also need to be equipped with special charging boxes and data cables, which are not integrated only and are more inconvenient to use.

Moreover, the existing intelligent terminals still use water drip screen, bangs screen, flat-head type (pop-up camera, front camera) to solve the front camera, but this setting mode will occupy the display area of the display screen. Although the off-screen camera technology does not occupy the display area of the display screen, its transmittance is not good, so the invention is specially proposed.

CTOnews.com learned that the patent provides an intelligent mobile terminal, including a terminal body and an integration module. The integration module includes an audio-visual component connected with the terminal body.

When the user uses the headset function, the audio-visual component can be removed from the mobile phone to perform the auditory function. When the user needs to use the camera function, the audio-visual component is installed on the mobile phone, and the visual function can be performed as a camera module.

The audio-visual component in the invention can be used not only as a headset but also as a camera, and when used as a camera, the integrated component can be used as both a front camera and a rear camera. while reducing the production cost, it also ensures the light transmission effect of the camera.
