Patent attributes
Provided is a terminal. The terminal includes a camera component and a camera control device. The terminal has an accommodation chamber therein. Both of the camera component and the camera control device are located in the accommodation chamber. The camera control device comprises a switch valve component, an elastic component and a holding component. When held by the holding component, a valve core of the switch valve component could limit the camera component to be within the accommodation chamber. When camera control software such as a camera application is infected by virus, the camera component could avoid stretching out of the accommodation chamber even upon being controlled to start. Accordingly, the camera component could avoid being secretly filmed by lawbreakers and prevent user's privacy from being exposed.
