Apparatus for automatically adjusting angle of image device for information processing equipment
First Claim
1. An apparatus for adjusting an angle of image unit for information processing equipment, the apparatus comprising:
- a rotatable supporting part configured to maintain a position of an imaging device relative to a main body of the information processing equipment; and
a rotation device configured to rotate the imaging device in accordance with a rotation angle of the main body,wherein the rotation device comprises a connecting link configured to connect the main body to the imaging device, wherein a first end of the connecting link is configured to be connected to a side of the main body data position which is spaced apart a certain distance from a center of rotation of the supporting part, and a second end of the connecting link is configured to be connected to the imaging device data position which is spaced apart a certain distance from a center of rotation of the imaging device, wherein the rotatable supporting part comprises;
a rotation shaft rotatably supported by the main body;
a supporting plate which extends to both sides of the rotation shaft, wherein the supporting plate is configured to receive the imaging device on an upper surface thereof; and
link connecting portions which extend from front and rear sides of the supporting plate direction substantially parallel to the rotation shaft, wherein each of the link connecting portions are configured to be connected to the rotation device.

Abstract
An apparatus is provided that adjusts an angle of image device used with information processing equipment such as a portable computer, a computer for a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) monitor, and a Personal Digital Assistance (PDA). As a display device is rotated relative to a main body, a supporting member adjusts a position of the image device according to rotation of the display device to maintain a desired angle of the image device. The information processing equipment can include a main body with a plurality of key buttons and a display body including a display unit which is rotationally coupled to one side of the main body. An image device unit is installed on one side of the display body for holding the image device. A connecting link rotates the image device unit in accordance with the rotation angle of the display body against the main body. Therefore, the angle of image device such as a camera can be automatically controlled according to the movement of the display body.
