Abstract

The camera mouse has a housing (1) enclosing a battery-operated printed circuit camera (4), with a downwards facing objective lens (5) for providing an image of written words which are illuminated by an integrated light source (6). The image information is transmitted via a radio link to a standard television receiver for displaying an enlarged image of the written words on the television screen.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Gehäusecamera gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 zur vergrößerten Darstellung von darunter befindlicher Lektüre oder anderen Gegenständen.The present invention relates to a housing camera according to the preamble of the claim 1 for enlarged display of reading or other objects underneath.

Personen mit geringem Sehvermögen sind auf Lesehilfen, wie Brillen und Lupen angewiesen. Diese optischen Gerätschaften erlauben nur bis zu einem gewissen Maße die genaue und ermüdungsfreie Betrachtung von beispielsweise Zeitungen. Wo Brillen zum Lesen nicht mehr genügen, muß umständlich eine Lupe über die Lektüre gehalten werden. Die Lupe verzerrt durch Lichteinfall und muß immer in kontinuierlichem Abstand gehalten werden. Wo eine Lupe einer Person auch nicht mehr zum Lesen oder Betrachten ausreicht, ist auf andere Weise ein selbständiges Lesen nicht mehr möglich.People with poor eyesight rely on reading aids such as glasses and magnifying glasses. These optical devices only allow the exact and to a certain extent Fatigue-free viewing of newspapers, for example. Where glasses no longer read enough, a magnifying glass must be kept over the reading. The magnifying glass distorted by incidence of light and must always be kept at a constant distance. Wherever a person's magnifying glass is no longer sufficient for reading or viewing, is on otherwise independent reading is no longer possible.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe Zugrunde, eine elektronische Lesehilfe der gattungsgemäßen Art so zu konstruieren, daß die Nutzung von schlechtsichtigen Personen einfach und ohne Spezialkenntnisse möglich ist.The object of the present invention is therefore an electronic reading aid to construct the generic type so that the use of bad eyesight People easily and without special knowledge is possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im gekennzeichneten Teil des Anspruchs 1 genannten Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the part of claim 1 mentioned features solved.

Eine in einem computermausähnlichen Gehäuse montierte Platinencamera mit integrierter Beleuchtung, im folgenden "Cameramaus" genannt, wird über einen Zeitungsartikel gelegt. Die "Cameramaus" ist über ein Kabel oder über eine Funkübertragung mit dem Fernseher verbunden. So kann der Leser die stark vergrößerten Worte und Sätze auf dem Fernseher lesen. Durch das Nachführen der "Cameramaus" ist das Lesen längerer Artikel ermüdungsfrei möglich. A circuit board camera with an integrated, mounted in a computer mouse-like housing Lighting, hereinafter referred to as "cameramouse", is about a newspaper article placed. The "camera mouse" is via a cable or a radio transmission with the TV connected. So the reader can see the greatly enlarged words and sentences on the Read TV. By tracking the "camera mouse" is reading longer articles fatigue-free possible.  

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht die problemlose Benutzung der "Cameramaus" von schlechtsichtigen Personen als Sehhilfe zum Lesen von Lektüre vor.An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides the problem-free use of the "Cameramaus" by poor-sighted people as a visual aid for reading reading.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the subclaims characterized.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung erläutert.An embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings explained.

Es zeigen:Show it:

Bezugspunkte 1 bis 6 einen schematischen Ausschnitt der "Cameramaus".Reference points 1 to 6 show a schematic section of the "camera mouse".

Die in der Zeichnung in schemenhaftem Teilausschnitt dargestellte "Cameramaus" besteht aus dem Gehäuse 1, der integrierten Platinencamera 4 mit dem nach unten gerichtetem Objektiv 5, der Beleuchtung 6, der Batterie 2 und der Funkübertragung 3. The "camera mouse" shown in the drawing in a schematic partial section consists of the housing 1 , the integrated circuit board camera 4 with the lens 5 directed downwards, the lighting 6 , the battery 2 and the radio transmission 3 .
