SELECTIVELY ATTACHABLE AND REMOVABLE OPTICAL SYSTEMS FOR MOBILE DEVICES

摘要

Some embodiments disclosed herein relate to an optical system having multiple (e.g., two or more) optical components attached to a retainer portion, and the retainer portion may be removably attached to mobile electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, media players, and the like. In some embodiments, the optical components may be permanently or removably attached to the same face of the retainer portion. The optical system may be oriented in at least two different positions with respect to a mobile electronic device. In a first position, a first optical component may be generally aligned with an onboard camera of the mobile electronic device, and in a second potion a second optical component may be aligned with the onboard camera.

主权项

1. An optical device configured to be selectively attached to and removed from a mobile electronic device with an onboard camera positioned in an upper central region of the mobile electronic device, the optical device comprising:
a retainer configured to be removably attachable to the mobile electronic device in multiple different orientations and multiple different locations on the mobile electronic device, the retainer comprising a body segment with a first face configured to be oriented toward a rear face of the mobile electronic device when the retainer is attached to the mobile electronic device and a second face configured to be oriented away from the rear face of the mobile electronic device when the retainer is attached to the mobile electronic device; and multiple optical components that are attached or attachable to the body segment in different locations at the same time on the second face.
