Detailed Description

The above and other features, advantages and aspects of various embodiments of the present disclosure will become more apparent by referring to the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Throughout the drawings, the same or similar reference numbers refer to the same or similar elements. It should be understood that the drawings are schematic and that elements and features are not necessarily drawn to scale.

The application scenes of the existing pan-tilt camera are relatively limited. For example, when shooting a beautiful scene, the photographer can only shoot the issued feeling or speaking, and then aim the camera at the photographer himself. The shooting experience is not friendly, and in addition, the pan-tilt camera cannot reproduce pictures of a beautiful scene and a photographer at the same time, so that the application scene is relatively limited.

Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a pan-tilt camera. As shown in fig. 1, the pan/tilt head camera of the present disclosure has a body 103, a rotatable electrically controlled pan/tilt head 102 composed of a plurality of axial drivers, axial drivers (motors) whose axial drivers are X, Y, Z in three directions in fig. 1, 1021, 1022, and 1023, and a camera 101 having a lens module, wherein the body has a battery, and the body has a pan/tilt head holding portion for holding the pan/tilt head stable (the pan/tilt head holding portion is integrated with the body in fig. 1), the electrically controlled pan/tilt head 102 is rotatably mounted to the pan/tilt head holding portion of the body by the axial drivers, and the camera 101 is mounted to the electrically controlled pan/tilt head 102 so as to rotate together with. The pan-tilt camera further comprises another camera 501, and the camera 501 is mounted on the body. Generally, the camera 501 is generally directed toward the user side because it is fixed, and the camera 101 can be rotated to track the subject. Since the camera 101 can rotate on a three-dimensional axis, it can track at a variety of different angles while the body can remain stationary (i.e., the camera 501 remains stationary).

The pan/tilt head camera of the present disclosure may include a body 103, the body 103 having a pan/tilt head holding portion. In the present disclosure, the body 103 is formed integrally with a pan/tilt head holding portion for supporting the pan/tilt head 102. The pan/tilt head 102 is rotatably mounted to a pan/tilt head holding portion of the body 103, for example, by the above-described axial drive. The camera 101 is mounted to the pan/tilt head 102 and is rotatable with the pan/tilt head 102. Another camera 501 is mounted on the body 103.

In some embodiments, the camera 501 is fixedly mounted to the body 103, whereby the camera 101 is rotatable relative to the camera 501. In some embodiments, the

cameras

101 and 501 of the pan-tilt camera are independently controlled by a chip in the pan-tilt camera, such that the turning on of the

cameras

101 and 501 can be controlled and the

cameras

101 and 501 can be made to shoot simultaneously. It should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to only

cameras

101 and 501, and that pan-tilt cameras may also include other cameras. Generally, the camera 501 is generally directed toward the user side because it is fixed, and the camera 101 can be rotated to track the subject. Since the camera 101 can rotate on a three-dimensional axis, it can track at a variety of different angles while the body can remain stationary.

In some embodiments, one audio file may be generated while in the first mode where both

cameras

101 and 501 are on, and since both

cameras

101 and 501 are on for taking pictures, they each generate one video image, i.e., two video files are generated in total for one picture taking, the picture taken by camera 101 forming one video and the picture taken by camera 501 forming the other video. In some embodiments, the microphone of the pan-tilt camera may be used to obtain an audio file, and the

cameras

101 and 501 of the pan-tilt camera may be used to obtain a video file. During shooting, the audio file and the two video files may be independent, i.e., non-interfering, with the microphone used to obtain the audio file and the

cameras

101 and 501, respectively, obtaining the one video file. Therefore, the application scenes of the pan-tilt camera are greatly expanded, for example, when a photographer shoots a video, the pan-tilt camera 101 can be used for tracking a shot object, and the camera 501 can be aligned to the photographer, so that a picture explained by the photographer can be shot at the same time. For example, when the presenter visits, the pictures of the presenter and the guests can be shot by only one pan-tilt camera without two cameras. In addition, two paths of video files of one time axis are obtained, so that a good material is provided for later editing operation, the two paths of video files can be synthesized to obtain a synthesized video of the same time axis, and a picture-in-picture video of the same time axis can also be obtained, in the picture-in-picture video, a large picture is used for displaying one path of video files, a small picture is used for displaying the other path of video files, and the video files displayed by the large picture and the small picture can be switched.

In some embodiments, since the camera 101 can rotate, the optical axes of the

cameras

101 and 501 can be parallel or non-parallel in the first mode, fig. 2 schematically illustrates several examples when the optical axes (lines with arrows) are non-parallel.

In some embodiments, the pan-tilt camera further comprises a virtual or physical first mode-enabling button (not shown) that, when activated, enables the first mode of the pan-tilt camera. In some embodiments, as described above, the pan-tilt camera includes a display component 1031, typically a display screen. In some embodiments, the first mode splash button may be a virtual button displayed in the display screen, or may be a physical button or key as mentioned above. In some embodiments, the display component 1031 is located on the body 103 and the camera 501 is located between the display component 1031 and the pan/tilt head 102. In some embodiments, as described above, the pan-tilt camera includes the display part 1031 and the touch part 1032, which are disposed on the main body 103, and the touch part 1032 is located at a position other than the display part 1031, that is, they are independent of each other, and of course, they may share the same circuit board, as described above. In some embodiments, the display component 1031 is located between the camera 501 and the touch component 1032. Generally, the display part 1031, the camera 501 and the touch part 1032 may be located on the same side of the body 103, so that when the camera 501 is directed at the face of the user, the user can view the photographing screen displayed in the display part 1031, facilitating the user's operation.

In some embodiments, the pan-tilt camera further comprises another button (not shown) mounted on the body 103 and configured to control the position of the camera 101 to be at a preset relative position to the position of the camera 501 and/or to control the shooting direction of the camera 101 to be at a preset relative angle to the shooting direction of the camera 501. In some embodiments, the further button is a virtual or physical key, which when triggered enters a second mode (e.g. depth of view shooting mode) and the camera 101 is rotated to a preset relative position to the position of the camera 501, or the shooting direction of the camera 101 is at a preset angle to the shooting direction of the camera 501, as shown in fig. 3. In some embodiments, the first mode splash button and the another button may be the same button or different buttons. For example, when the first mode on button and the other button are the same button, they may be two switching modes of the same virtual key, or they may be two switching modes of a physical key. In some embodiments, the second mode is entered when the further button is triggered before or after the first mode of the pan-tilt camera is turned on. That is, the second mode may be entered regardless of whether the pan/tilt camera is in the shooting mode or not, as long as being triggered by a corresponding instruction (e.g., an automatic trigger satisfying a preset condition, a voice instruction trigger, etc.). In some embodiments, the second mode is depth of field shooting, which is typically self-timer shooting, and the pan/tilt camera 101 is automatically fixed to a specified position at the time of entering the depth of field shooting, which is a preset relative position to the position of the camera 501. In the second mode shot, the algorithm is related to the position between the

cameras

101 and 501, and can be adjusted accordingly to determine the position where the camera 101 is expected to be fixed when shooting in the second mode.

In some embodiments, when a pan-tilt camera is only on for taking a picture, it is typical that the camera 101 is on while the camera 501 is off.

In addition, some of the control of the camera part of the existing pan-tilt camera is controlled by a mechanical button, so that the volume of the equipment is increased. The external physical control rod has large volume, high cost and easy loss; the built-in physical control rod has short service life and large volume, and can reduce portability and reliability.

Fig. 4 is a schematic view of a pan-tilt camera according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 4, the pan/tilt/zoom camera includes a body 103, a rotatable electrically controlled pan/tilt head 102 composed of a plurality of axial drivers, three-directional axial drivers (motors) whose axial drivers are X, Y, Z in fig. 1, 1021, 1022, and 1023, and a camera 101 having a lens module, wherein the body has a display screen 1031, a touch area (first touch member) 1032, and a battery, and the body has a pan/tilt holding portion for holding the pan/tilt head stable (the pan/tilt holding portion is integrated with the body in fig. 4), the electrically controlled pan/tilt head 102 is rotatably mounted on the pan/tilt holding portion of the body by the axial drivers, the camera 101 is mounted on the electrically controlled pan/tilt head 102, and rotates with the pan/tilt head, and the display screen at the body displays contents shot by the.

In fig. 4, the main body (holder holding portion) 103 of the pan/tilt camera is a hand-held portion, the camera portion is mounted to the hand-held portion through a three-axis connecting rod, and the pan/tilt camera drives the pan/tilt through controlling three

axial drivers

1021, 1022, 1023 to control the movement of the camera 101, i.e., the camera is mounted to the pan/tilt and can rotate with the pan/tilt, where the rotation can include the actions of several axial drivers, translation, pitch, and roll. Through the rotation of control camera, can adjust the camera to suitable shooting angle.

In this embodiment, the touch member has a first touch member located outside the display screen, and the first touch member is configured to control the motion of the pan/tilt head and/or the operating state of the camera. In fig. 4, the display screen is in the upper half of the touch area 1032, the second touch part 1031 at the display screen and the touch area (first touch part) 1032 as a whole are a touch panel, the upper half (second touch part 1031) of the touch panel is used as the touch part of the display screen, and the lower half (first touch part 1032) of the touch panel is used for controlling the touch area of the pan/tilt/camera, that is, for controlling the motion of the pan/tilt/camera and/or the operating state of the camera. That is, in this embodiment, the touch area and the display screen share one touch panel (touch section) including a touch detection section and a touch information processor; the touch detection component is positioned on the body and generates a touch signal based on the received touch operation; the touch information processor is used for receiving the touch signal, generating a control signal according to the touch signal, and sending the control signal to the holder or the camera, wherein the control signal is used for controlling the motion of the holder and/or the working state of the camera.

The operation of the touch panel (second touch member 1031) at the display screen is basically to perform setting of the camera and viewing of the shot content in a non-shot state. The first touch part 1032 can control the motion of the pan/tilt head and/or the working state of the camera in the shooting state, for example, control the operations of several axes of pan, tilt, and roll of the pan/tilt head, which ensures that the camera can be aimed at the target to be shot.

In an embodiment, when the camera is in the shooting state, the first touch part is controlled to be in the activated state and the second touch part is controlled to be in the inactivated state, so that misoperation is avoided, and power consumption can be saved.

In an embodiment, when the camera is in a powered-on and non-shooting state, the second touch component may be controlled to be in an activated state, and at this time, the first touch component may be in an activated state or in a non-activated state, and the second touch component is configured to receive a touch operation performed on display content on the display screen and perform corresponding processing, such as a picture processing operation, a video playing operation, and the like, according to the touch operation.

In an embodiment, when the camera is in a shooting state, the first touch component may be controlled to be in a first active state, when the camera is in a power-on and non-shooting state, the first touch component may be controlled to be in a second active state, when the first touch component is in the first active state, the motion of the pan/tilt head and/or the working state of the camera may be controlled according to the received touch operation, and when the first touch component is in the second active state, the output of the display content on the display screen may be controlled according to the received touch operation, for example, the processing such as picture enlargement or reduction may be performed, and the playing operation such as video playing or pause may be performed.

The display screen is used for displaying the image information shot by the camera. The common touch panel covers the display panel of the display screen. That is, the Display panel may be configured to Display by providing a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED), or the like at an upper portion of the inside of the touch panel, that is, at a Display screen position. In a pan-tilt camera, the display screen is provided on the body, in which case the display screen is usually small.

In addition, in the related art, a small touch slider exists on one side of the display screen, the whole display screen is small, the small touch slider is not favorable for being exhaled, and due to the fact that the display interface is overlapped with the touch slider, the preview picture is shielded, mistaken touch is caused, and the like during operation. In the method, the touch area is arranged at a position outside the display screen, for example, under the display screen, when a user shoots and needs to control the cloud platform, the finger or other objects can not shield the display screen, preview control can not be influenced, and in the control process of the related art, the finger can shield the display screen, and the preview can not be effectively performed due to the fact that the display screen is very small, but after the first touch component used for controlling the movement of the cloud platform is separated from the second touch component at the display screen, the control and the preview are not interfered with each other.

In addition, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the touch area (the first touch component) and the second touch component at the display screen may be formed by one touch pad, and the touch pad and the display screen share one touch panel, so that materials can be saved and costs can be reduced.

In an embodiment, the touch area may be located at a lower portion of the display panel. The touch part may include a touch detection part and a touch information processor; the touch detection component is used for detecting touch information such as a user touch position or a moving distance and sending the received touch information to the touch information processor; the touch information processor converts the touch information received from the touch detection part into commands and controls the corresponding driver to control the movement of the holder.

The touch information processor determines the position, force, speed and/or direction of touch operation occurring on the first touch component based on the touch signal, and controls the motion of the holder and/or the working state of the camera according to the position, force, speed and/or direction of the touch operation.

Specifically, the touch detection component may collect a touch operation performed by a user (for example, a user operates a touch panel with any suitable object or accessory such as a finger or a stylus), detect a touch orientation of the user, generate a signal for detecting the touch operation, and transmit the signal to a touch information processor (the touch information processor may also be referred to as a touch screen controller); the touch information processor receives touch information from the touch detection device and converts the touch information into a specific command to control the movement of the holder. That is, the touch information processor receives a touch signal from the touch detection component, performs preset processing on the touch signal, generates a control signal according to the touch signal after the preset processing, and sends the control signal to the pan/tilt head or the camera.

In an embodiment, the touch information processor may be an IC circuit, and may determine whether a touch operation occurs and a position, a force, a direction, and the like of the touch operation according to a signal detected by the touch detection component, and further generate a control signal for controlling the pan/tilt/camera. In another embodiment, the touch information processor may include a touch IC circuit for performing touch signal processing, and a main control circuit, the touch IC circuit is configured to process an analog signal detected by the touch detection unit and convert the analog signal into a digital signal, and may further perform processing related to touch signal identification on the digital signal, such as identifying whether the digital signal is a pressing operation or a false triggering operation, and send a processing result to the touch circuit, and the main control circuit generates a control signal according to the processing result and sends the control signal to the pan/tilt head or the camera.

In an embodiment, because the pan/tilt/zoom camera has a higher requirement on control reliability, the pan/tilt camera controlled by the touch pad of the present disclosure has a function of preventing erroneous touch, and can prevent erroneous touch of the touch area, and the pan/tilt camera receives a touch event on the touch area (for example, receives a touch event through a touch component on the touch area); judging whether the touch event occurs in the edge area of the touch area; if the touch event occurs in the edge area of the touch area, acquiring change data generated in the touch area when the touch event is touched; judging whether the touch event is a false trigger event or not according to the change data of the touch screen; if the touch event is a false triggering event, the touch event is not reported, for example, when the touch information processor includes a touch IC circuit and a main control circuit, if the touch IC circuit recognizes that the touch event is the false triggering event, the touch information processor does not send a control signal to the main control circuit.

In addition, as shown in fig. 6, the touch area (i.e. the first touch part) 3032 and the second touch part 3031 at the display screen can be implemented as two independent parts respectively, the detection signals collected at the touch area 1032 and the touch part 1031 of the display screen are transmitted to a touch IC (part of a touch information processor) 105, which processes the analog signals detected by the touch detection unit, converts the analog signals into digital signals, and further processes the signals related to touch signal recognition, for example, whether the pressing operation is performed or not, whether the false triggering operation is performed or not, and the like, to obtain a touch signal that can be recognized by the main control circuit, and sends the touch signal to the main control circuit 106 (which may be regarded as another part of the touch information processor), and the main control circuit 106 generates a control signal according to the touch signal and sends the control signal to the axial driver or the camera. In the embodiment, a plurality of touch parts share one touch IC circuit, so that the material is saved, the cost is reduced, and the volume of the pan-tilt camera can be reduced.
