Multifunctional mobile electronic device
First Claim
1. A multifunctional mobile electronic device comprising a device main body that is combined by a main body section and a cover section via a coupling section such that the main body and the cover section can be folded, one of inner surfaces (surfaces of the main body section and the cover body meeting each other when the electronic device is folded) of the main body section and the cover section being provided with an input key section including numeral keys, the other of the inner surfaces being provided with a main display section, said device further comprising:
- a lens section of a first camera provided in one of outer surfaces (surfaces of the main body and the cover which are exposed to outside when the electronic device is folded) of the main body section and the cover section;
a sub display section, that serves as a finder of the first camera, provided in the other of the outer surfaces; and
a shutter button for the first camera provided in a side surface part of the device main body.

Abstract
The main body section and the cover section, those of which are combined with the coupling section so that the electronic device can pivot, constitute the present invention. There is an input key section is provided in the opposed surface of the main body section meeting the cover section when the device is folded. There is the main display section provided in the opposing surface of the cover section meeting the main body section when the device is folded. Because of this, the electronic device can be used easier as a mobile phone. Furthermore, the electronic device also can be used easier as a still camera because the device can be used as a still camera immediately whenever the user wants to, even when the electronic device is in stand-by mode of mobile phone mode.
