The passive optics array 105 functions to gather light in relation to operations of the mobile device 100. Such functions may include scanning of graphic media targets, photography, and/or videography, which are associated with capturing visual information from the gathered light. The surface of the passive optics 105 is covered by an optically transparent window 106, which is disposed within the case 103.
FIG. 2 depicts an example operational platform 200, according to an embodiment of the present invention. The mobile device 100 is operable over locations disposed throughout a plurality of environments, which have at least a first environment and at least a second environment. The first environment in this example is shown disposed within a spatial envelope 210. The at least second environment is disposed within a second spatial envelope 220. For example, the second environment disposed within the corresponding envelope 220 may include an indoor operational environment of the mobile device 100. The first environment disposed within the corresponding envelope 210, and outside of the envelope 220 may include an outdoor operational milieu of the mobile device 100.
For purposes of example and illustration, the second environment and corresponding spatial envelope 220 is shown in FIG. 2 as disposed within the first environment and corresponding spatial envelope 210. It should be understood, however, that this depicted example illustration is not meant to be limiting or restrictive in any way. On the contrary, it should be understood that example embodiments may relate to the second environment disposed within, overlapping partially with, or be disposed outside of the first environment.
