Abstract

A light structure for an electronic device includes a first portion permitting user access to a button of the device; and a second portion surrounding the first portion, wherein the second portion permits light from a light source to pass through. The light passing through the second portion varies according to a condition of the electronic device.

Claims (27)

1. A light structure for a camera, comprising:

a first portion permitting user access to a button of the camera, wherein the button controls modes of operation of the camera;

a second portion surrounding the first portion, wherein the second portion permits light from a light source to pass through, wherein the light passing through the second portion varies in at least three degrees of brightness or at least three sizes of an illuminated area according to a condition of the camera; and

a base member attached to at least one of the first portion and the second portion, the base member permitting light from the light source to pass through.

2. The light structure of claim 1 , wherein the condition of the camera comprises a battery level, mode of operation, power on/off, duration of operation, temperature, memory space, brightness, volume or speed.

3. The light structure of claim 1 , wherein the light source is located within the camera.

4. The light structure of claim 1 , wherein the light source is located within the light structure.

5. The light structure of claim 1 , wherein the second portion includes a ring pattern structure surrounding the first portion.

6. The light structure of claim 1 , wherein a surface of the second portion projects from a surface of the first portion.

7. The light structure of claim 1 , wherein a surface of the second portion projects from a surface of a casing of the camera.

8. The light structure of claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the light structure is made by double injection molding.

9. The light structure of claim 1 , wherein a surface of the base member includes a plurality of raised areas and depressed areas.

10. The light structure of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of raised areas and depressed areas connect and form a ring pattern.

11. The light structure of claim 1 , wherein the light structure is located on the camera.

12. The light structure of claim 1 , wherein the light structure is located in a protective cover installed on the camera.

13. The light structure of claim 12 , wherein the protective cover is waterproof.

14. A light structure for an electronic device comprising:

a first portion permitting user access to a button of the electronic device, wherein the button controls modes of operation of the electronic device;

a second portion surrounding the first portion, wherein the second portion permits light from a light source to pass through, wherein the light passing through the second portion varies in at least three degrees of brightness or at least three sizes of an illuminated area according to a condition of the electronic device.

15. The light structure of claim 14 , wherein the condition of the electronic device comprises a battery level, mode of operation, power on/off, duration of operation, temperature, memory space, brightness, volume or speed.

16. The light structure of claim 14 , wherein the light structure is located on the electronic device.

17. The light structure of claim 14 , wherein the light structure is located in a protective cover installed on the electronic device.

18. The light structure of claim 17 , wherein the protective cover is waterproof.

19. A light structure for an electronic device, comprising:

a first portion permitting user access to a button of the electronic device, wherein the button controls modes of operation of the electronic device;

a second portion surrounding the first portion, wherein the second portion permits light from a light source to pass through, wherein the light passing through the second portion varies in at least three degrees of brightness or at least three sizes of an illuminated area according to a condition of the electronic device; and

a base member attached to at least one of the first portion and the second portion, the base member permitting light from the light source to pass through.
