Patent number: 10670826Abstract: Some embodiments disclosed herein relate to an auxiliary optical device having one or more optical components, such as lenses, attached to a retainer portion. The retainer portion is configured to removably attach to mobile electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, media players, and the like. The retainer portion may include a movable mounting portion that achieves or maintains a substantially parallel orientation with respect to a face of a mobile electronic device even when a sidewall of the retainer portion is not parallel with respect to the face. An optical component may be mounted to the mounting portion, and movement of the mounting portion can facilitate a parallel orientation of the optical axis of the optical component with respect to an optical axis of an onboard camera of the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2017Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: Portero Holdings, LLCInventors: Patrick D. O'Neill, Chong Pak, Jason Patrick, Daniel Arato, Ryan Nguyen, Joshua Cantor
