  • Publication number: 20230288779
    Abstract: A camera structure includes a support frame, a camera, a camera switch and a latch mechanism. The camera is supported by the support frame. The camera switch is spatially separated from the camera. The camera switch is configured to enable and disable the camera. The latch mechanism includes a slidable latch body and a cover and a connecting rod linking the latch body. The latch body is configured to move between a first position and a second position. When the latch body is at the first position, the camera is exposed from a first opening of the cover and the connecting rod interferes with the camera switch to enable the camera. When the latch body is at the second position, the cover shields the camera and the connecting rod moves away from the camera switch to enable the camera.

  • Publication number: 20080110343
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a body, an aromatic odor generating unit, and a fan. The aromatic odor generated by the aromatic odor generating unit is exhausted from the body of the electronic device through an air outtake by air flow produced by the fan, so as to achieve an improved operation environment. In addition, a negative ion generating module is disposed on the electronic device; therefore, the aromatic odor can mix with the negative ions and then be exhausted from the body of the electronic device to provide the functions for invigorating people's spirits or satisfying the balancing of body physiques.

  • Patent number: 7264171
    Abstract: An electronic device with image capture module. The electronic device comprises a display module, an image capture module, a resilient member and a rotating member. The display module comprises a seat with a through hole. The image capture module is rotatably connected to the seat with a shaft inserted the hole. The resilient member has recesses and is fixed on the shaft. When the image capture module rotates with respect to the main body, the resilient member interferes with the recesses of the rotating member, positioning at any angle and creating a positive interval response.

  • Publication number: 20070002514
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) capable of negative ion generation is disclosed. The LCD utilizes existing power inverter to generate negative ions by means of corona discharge or silent discharge, which offers an extra function without altering the structural design of existing power inverter while saving the space required for generation of negative ions. In addition, the LCD excites negative ions with little power without affecting its normal operation. Using the LCD disclosed in this invention not only neutralizes the adverse effect of positive ions on human body, the negative ions produced by the display can help purify blood, activate cells, boost immunity, regulate autonomous nerves and remove harmful substances, suspended particles, and odors in air, and kill germs. It benefits the health of people who use computer constantly.
