DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0040] Referring to FIGS. 1-3, there is illustrated a digital camera
10 made in accordance with the present invention. The digital camera
10 body 12 includes a display screen 14 for illustrating the scene
to be captured or that has been captured by the digital camera 10.
The display screen may comprise any suitable display device, for
example by not limited to, a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), Light
Emitting Display (LED) or OLED (organic light emitting display).
As with all typical digital cameras, there is provided a plurality
of functional user selection buttons and/or switches 16, 18, 20,
22, to control various functions of the digital camera 10 as is
well known in the prior art. As is also typical with digital cameras,
an image capture user switch 26 is provided where upon depression
thereof by the user indicates the image to be captured by the digital
camera 10. The camera 10 further includes a detachable hingeable
cover 30 that is pivotally mounted to a rotating mounting member
32 in body 12 through the use of a pivot 34. The rotating mounting
member 32 can rotate within the body 12 between various positions.
The cover 30 in the position illustrated in FIGS. 1-3 is in the
operating position for allowing capturing of digital images. The
top end 36 is positioned at a point below position of the lens 40
and flash 24 for capturing of the image.
[0041] When it is desired to protect the display screen 14, the
cover 30 is rotated to the position as illustrated in FIG. 2b. The
cover may be opaque to match the style and color of the camera or
may be transparent and made of a material like Plexiglas or Lexan
to allow the screen to operate while being protected. The cover
30 is designed to provide additional features and/or functions to
the camera 10. In the particular embodiment illustrated, the cover
30 is designed to provide additional power supply to the digital
camera thereby extending the useful life of the digital camera 10
by supplementing any internal batteries the digital camera may have.
Alternatively, the digital camera may not be provided with any internal
battery, thus leaving the cover 30 to provide the primary source
of electrical supply. While the embodiment illustrated in FIGS.
1-3, the cover 30 is illustrated as providing additional electrical
capacity, the cover can be designed to provide a variety of functions
for example, but not limited to, a keyboard, folding keyboard, a
touch drawing tablet, a game controller, a solar collector, extended
memory, additional memory card I/O slot types, lens viewfinder,
a wireless computer I/O interface (including RF trans receiver),
display porting, finger mouse, digital printer, cellular transceiver,
or a TV receiver. A keyboard may be provided as a simple graphic
that could be rolled up or folded for storage. When in use, the
graphic keyboard would be placed adjacent to the camera and the
camera's lens would be positioned to view the keyboard. By recording
the positions of the user's fingers on the graphic keyboard, the
camera's processor can interpret these finger locations as actual
keystrokes.
[0042] Other accessory modules or attachments can be provided to
enhance or alter the operation of the camera including an auxiliary
light source such as an electronic flash, incandescent or LED lamps,
deployable filters that would be positioned to operate in conjunction
with lens and/or light source, additional lens attachments to provide

capabilities. Cover modules may also be provided with auxiliary
displays, speakers, power, and memory that can be used to share
images and videos captured with the camera. These ancillary display
modalities may quire image content when attached to the camera or
through wireless communication from the camera or another source.
[0043] Also, since the cover provides a relatively large area and
adjustable mechanical attachment to the camera, accessory cover
modules can be adapted to provide additional mounting options for
the camera, such as a collapsible stand to provide "hands free"
operation. In addition, modules may be provided to include collapsible
mounting devices such as spring loaded adjustable grips or clamps,
additional tripod mounts, pistol or hand grip, collapsible tripods,
magnetic, and suction type mounts, all of which fit into the "X"
and "Y" dimensions designated as a cover when in their
"non-deployed" mode. The invention allows for different
cover thicknesses in the "Z" dimension, varying depending
on the physical requirements of the device of components. There
are numerous examples on the market that combine variable geometry
functionality and gripping capabilities. "All-in-one pocket
tools" can contain a spring-loaded clamp or vise that can be
folded back into the tool when not in use. In this mode the tool
assumes a convenient rectangular shape to fit easily in a pocket.
In addition the cover can contain a motorized "lazy Susan"
pivoting mounting surface which would allow the camera to be remotely
panned. This, in conjunction with a motorized rotary lens assembly
and zoom lens, would allow full remote pan, tilt and, zoom capabilities.
This can be enabled with a remote manual control or with an automatic
tracking device such as an IR emitter. The user would wear the emitter
on a lapel and the camera would be equipped with an IR receiver
and control logic to enable the camera to track the user via the
IR emitter signal. Automatic motorized panning and tilting tripods
are well known.
[0044] An accessory cover can also function as a storage case for
ancillary items such as connecting cables, additional camera batteries,
memory devices, and other attachments and accessories. It is of
course understood that the cover can provide any type of additional
functions that can be exchanged through the use of the electrical
connection there between. It may be desirable for some cover accessory
types to only provide electrical contact with the camera when the
cover is in operational position. In addition to providing additional
electrical components, the cover can also be used for updating or
supplementing the software that is currently provided on the digital
camera 10. Thus, various different covers may be provided for providing
additional functions other than what was originally obtained with
the camera. A further example is that the cover may be designed
to provide information for operating the camera in a particular
language. Thus, all the information and translations necessary for
operating of the digital camera can be easily maintained and changed
by simply providing a cover having the appropriate software for
communication with the internal software within the digital camera.
[0045] The cover 30 is provided with an electrical connector 42
(see FIG. 2b) for communicating electrical signals from components
within cover 30 to the body 12. In the embodiment illustrated, the
rotating mounting member 32 is provided with two electrical connectors
44, 46 for connecting with connector 42 so that electrical communication
between components within the cover 30 is provided with internal
components of the digital camera 10 as appropriate. In the embodiment
illustrated, the connector 42 is a male connector designed to engage
