Fig. 1 is a schematic view illustrating a structure of a window according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the front view of a window according to an exemplary embodiment.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the window includes a window assembly 10, a camera module 20, and a projector 30.

The window assembly 10 may be a structure constituting a window body. The window assembly 10 may be disposed on a wall of a house, the window assembly 10 may include a side facing outdoors and a side facing indoors, and the window assembly 10 may be used to display a projection screen of the projector 30.

The camera module 20 may be used to capture a scene. The camera module 20 may be disposed on a side of the window assembly 10 facing outdoors, such that the camera module 20 may capture an outdoor scene.

Projector 30 may be used to project a particular picture on a particular surface. The projector 30 may be disposed at a side of the window assembly 10 facing indoors so that the projector 30 may project a specific picture indoors. The projector 30 can be in communication connection with the camera module 20, the projector 30 can receive the picture shot by the camera module 20 and the projector 30 can project and display the outdoor picture shot by the camera module 20 on the window assembly 10, so that a user can completely acquire scene information outside the window when observing the window at different angles.

Fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional structure of a light-transmitting glass according to an exemplary embodiment.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, 2, and 3, the window assembly may include: a light-transmitting glass 11 and a first projection layer 12.

The light-transmitting glass 11 may be disposed on a wall of a house, and the light-transmitting glass 11 may allow outdoor light to be emitted into a room from the light-transmitting glass 11, so that a user may observe an outdoor scene through the light-transmitting glass 11.

The first projection layer 12 may be disposed inside the light-transmitting glass 11, and as illustrated in fig. 3, the first projection layer 12 may be disposed as an inner interlayer of the light-transmitting glass 11, for example.

The first projection layer 12 may be connected to a circuit and the first projection layer 12 may change its transparency according to the energized state.

By way of example, the first projection layer 12 may be configured to be in a transparent state when powered off, in which case a user may view an outdoor scene through the transparent light-transmitting glass 11 and the transparent first projection layer 12.

The first projection layer 12 may be further configured to be in an opaque state when energized, where the first projection layer 12 may be used to display a picture projected by the projector 30, and the projector 30 may project an outdoor scene captured by the camera module 20 on the first projection layer 12, so that a user may know outdoor scene information through the scene projected by the projector 30, and the user may also completely obtain scene information outside the window when viewing the window at different angles.

However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the first projection layer 12 may be configured to be in a transparent state when energized, and a user may view an outdoor scene through the transparent light-transmitting glass 11 and the transparent first projection layer 12.

The first projection layer 12 may also be configured to be in an opaque state when power is off, where the first projection layer 12 may be used to display a picture projected by the projector 30, and the projector 30 may project an outdoor scene captured by the camera module 20 on the first projection layer 12, so that a user may know outdoor scene information through the scene projected by the projector 30, and the user may also completely obtain scene information outside the window when viewing the window at different angles.

In various embodiments, a relatively more energy efficient first projection layer 12 configuration may be selected based on the time required for the transparent state and the opaque state.

For example, when a user wishes to have a window in a greater number of transparent states during use of the window, the first projection layer 12 may be configured to be in a transparent state when powered off and in an opaque state when powered on, which may allow the first projection layer 12 to be in a powered off state for a majority of the time, thereby conserving power.

Based on the same principle, when a user wishes that the window is in a more opaque state during use of the window, the first projection layer 12 may be configured to be in a transparent state when energized and in an opaque state when de-energized, which may result in the first projection layer 12 being in a de-energized state for a majority of the time, thereby conserving power.

Fig. 4 is a schematic structural view of a window according to another exemplary embodiment.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the window assembly may include: a light-transmitting glass 11 and a second projection layer 13.

The light-transmitting glass 11 may have a light-entering surface facing outdoors and a light-exiting surface facing indoors, and outdoor light may pass through the light-transmitting glass 11 from the light-entering surface and enter indoors from the light-exiting surface.

The second projection layer 13 may be disposed on one side of the indoor direction of the light-transmitting glass 11, and the second projection layer 13 may perform a planar movement with respect to a plane on which the light-emitting surface of the light-transmitting glass 11 is located, so that the second projection layer 13 may change its position so as to select not to block the light-emitting surface or to block the light-emitting surface.

When the second projection layer 13 does not cover the light-emitting surface, the user can observe outdoor scenes outwards through the transparent light-transmitting glass 11.

When the second projection layer 13 shields the light emitting surface, the second projection layer 13 can be used for displaying the picture projected by the projector 30, and the projector 30 can project the outdoor scene shot by the camera module 20 on the second projection layer 13, so that the user can know the outdoor scene information through the scene projected by the projector 30, and the user can also completely acquire the scene information outside the window when viewing the window at different angles.

In some embodiments, the second projection layer 13 may be configured as a curtain of a window, and the second projection layer 13 may be made of a projection curtain material, so as to obtain a better projection effect.

In some embodiments, when the second projection layer 13 does not block the light-emitting surface, the second projection layer 13 can be selectively stored on the upper side, the lower side, the left side or the right side of the transparent glass 11, so as to save the required space for storing the second projection layer 13.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, when the second projection layer 13 does not cover the light-emitting surface, the second projection layer 13 may be received on the upper side of the light-transmitting glass 11, and when the second projection layer 13 covers the light-emitting surface, the second projection layer 13 may move downward from the upper side of the light-transmitting glass 11 and naturally straighten the surface of the second projection layer 13 under the action of gravity, so that the design of the supporting structure of the second projection layer 13 is simplified, and the structural weight of the second projection layer 13 is reduced.

In some embodiments, the second projection layer 13 may be disposed on the underside of the light-transmitting glass 11, where the second projection layer may include traction means for allowing the second projection layer 13 to move upward against gravity and to keep the surface of the second projection layer 13 flat.

And setting the projector 30 in the storage box 40 can reduce the light path of the projector 30, thereby avoiding that the light path of the projector 30 is blocked when a user walks in front of the window, and further avoiding that the eyes of the user receive high light irradiation of the projector 30 while avoiding affecting the projection effect of the projector 30.

The storage box 40 is internally provided with a through hole for the projector 30 to extend out or for the projector 30 to emit light, so that the projector 30 can be buried in the storage box 40 to be protected by the storage box 40 and can work normally.

In some embodiments, the projector 30 may be a digital optical processing projector, and the projector 30 configured as the digital optical processing projector may have advantages of low operation noise, high projection light efficiency, high definition, long service life, and the like, so that the projector 30 may be more matched with a home use scene.

In some embodiments, the window may further comprise: a driving member.

The driving member is connected with the rotating shaft so that the rotating shaft is rotatably disposed in the accommodating box 40, the driving member can enable the rotating shaft to move clockwise or anticlockwise, one side of the second projection layer 13 can be fixed on the surface of the rotating shaft, when the driving member drives the rotating shaft to rotate, the rotating shaft can gradually coil the second projection layer 13, and when the driving member drives the rotating shaft to rotate in the opposite direction, the rotating shaft can gradually release the second projection layer 13.

In some embodiments, the window may include only the first projection layer 12, not the second projection layer 13. The first projection layer 12 changes the light transmittance of the first projection layer 12 through the power-on state, the switching response is faster, the first projection layer 12 can be quickly changed from the transparent state to the state in which the projector 30 can project, and the first projection layer 12 and the light-transmitting glass 11 are of an integrated structure, so that the occupied space is smaller.

In some embodiments, the window may include only the second projection layer 13, not the first projection layer 12. The second projection layer 13 can use a projection curtain material as a curtain, so that the projection effect is clearer, the state is maintained without electrifying, and the second projection layer 13 is more energy-saving in the use process.
