Vivo Mobile Communication filed a patent for an “electronic device” with the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO), and the 20-page documentation included sketches that showed what appears to be a smartphone with a detachable drone-like camera. At first glance, it looks like any other handset, but at the push of a button, a quadcopter device sporting a hidden camera system with a double camera, three infrared proximity sensors, four propellers and an extra battery, pops out. Read more for the sketch and additional information.
Its mounting bracket boasts an integrated fingerprint sensor, andcan be detached from the compact camera system. The cameras can then fly into the air using its integrated propellers, while the infrared sensors allow it to measure the distance between objects to avoid collisions during flight. It’s assumed that flight operations will take place using a smartphone app and Air Gesture could also be a possibility.
