Abstract

A mobile terminal is provided, which includes a housing having a rectangular plan-view shape defined by two sides along a longitudinal direction and two sides along a lateral direction. The mobile terminal includes a camera included in the housing; a charging coil arranged in the housing; and a battery arranged in the housing. The camera, the charging coil, and the battery are arranged in this order along the longitudinal direction of the housing.

First claim

1 . A mobile terminal comprising:
a housing having a rectangular plan-view shape defined by two sides along a longitudinal direction and two sides along a lateral direction; a camera included in the housing; a charging coil arranged in the housing; and a battery arranged in the housing; wherein the camera, the charging coil, and the battery are arranged in this order along the longitudinal direction of the housing.

2 . The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein
the housing spans between first and second ends along the longitudinal direction, the camera, the charging coil, and the battery respectively span between their respective first and second ends along the longitudinal direction, wherein the first ends of the camera, the charging coil, and the battery are closer than the second ends of the camera, the charging coil, and the battery, respectively, to the first end of the housing, and the first end of the camera, the first end of the charging coil, and the first end of the battery are arranged in this order along the longitudinal direction.

3 . The mobile terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the second end of the camera, the second end of the charging coil, and the second end of the battery are arranged in this order along the longitudinal direction.

4 . The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein a centerline of the camera along the longitudinal direction is aligned with a centerline of the charging coil along the longitudinal direction.

5 . The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , further comprising
a wireless communication coil electrically isolated from the charging coil; and a magnetic sheet including a front surface, on which the charging coil and the wireless communication coil are arranged, and a back surface; wherein
the charging coil includes a first winding portion, a first leg portion, and a second leg portion,
the wireless communication coil includes a second winding portion and is arranged adjacent to the charging coil, and
the first and second leg portions of the charging coil are arranged between the second winding portion of the wireless communication coil and the back surface of the magnetic sheet.

6 . The mobile terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the wireless communication coil is wound in a shape selected from a rectangular shape, a circular shape, a square shape, and a polygonal shape.

7 . The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the charging coil has an internal dimension spanning at least 15.5 mm.

8 . The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the charging coil defines an internal hollow portion sized to receive a circle having a diameter of 15.5 mm.

9 . The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the charging coil is wound in a shape selected from a rectangular shape, an oblong shape, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, and a polygonal shape.

10 . The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the charging coil is wound in a circular shape and an internal diameter of the circular shape is greater than 15.5 mm.

11 . The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the battery is placed in a first half along the longitudinal direction of the housing and the charging coil is placed in a second half along the longitudinal direction of the housing.

12 . The mobile terminal according to claim 11 , wherein the camera is placed in the second half of the housing.
