Abstract

A communication module with multiple functions includes a mobile communication device and a GPS module. The mobile communication device has a sliding mobile phone structure, and an embedded antenna module installed at one end side thereof. The sliding mobile phone structure has a top casing and a bottom casing slidably mating with each other. The GPS module is installed at another end side of the mobile communication device. Whereby, when the top casing and the bottom casing are closed the device can be used as a “mobile phone”, and when the top casing and the bottom casing are opened the device can be used as a “GPS”.

Claims

1. A communication module with multiple functions, comprising:

a mobile communication device having a sliding mobile phone structure, and an embedded antenna module installed at one end side thereof, and the sliding mobile phone structure having a top casing and a bottom casing slidably mating with each other; and

a GPS module installed at another end side of the mobile communication device;

whereby, when the top casing and the bottom casing are closed for using as a “

mobile phone”

, and when the top casing and the bottom casing are opened for using as a “

GPS”

.

2. The antenna module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the embedded antenna module is a GSM, a PCS or a DCS frequency band.

3. The antenna module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the top casing has a first sliding groove formed thereon, and the bottom casing has a second sliding groove formed thereon which corresponds to the first sliding groove.

4. The antenna module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the embedded antenna module is installed in an end side of the top casing and far away from the GPS module in a predetermined distance.

5. The antenna module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the GPS module is installed in an end side of the bottom casing and far away from the embedded antenna module in a predetermined distance.

6. The antenna module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the top casing includes a pair of pivot axles, and a display device pivoted on the top casing by the pivot axles for opening or closing relative to the top casing.

7. The antenna module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the bottom casing includes a support installed on a bottom side thereof for supporting or positioning the mobile communication device.
