Abstract
The purpose of this invention is a translucent cover for electronic devices provided with an impenetrable closure and whose main advantage is to serve as housing for electronic devices equipped with functionality for capturing images (cameras, mobile phones, tablets or the like) and, in turn, inhibiting the focus thereof, thereby avoiding violating certain rights acquired in public or private places.
Description
- The purpose of this utility model is a translucent cover for electronic devices provided with an impenetrable closure and whose main advantage is to serve as housing for electronic devices equipped with functionality for capturing images (cameras, mobile phones, tablets or the like) and, in turn, inhibiting the focus thereof, thereby avoiding violating certain rights acquired in public or private places.
- Currently, given the high increase in electronic devices that can take pictures or video clips, users of these devices can (both consciously and unconsciously) violate certain rights associated with public or private places or sites, intellectual property rights, etc.
- This means that using such photographs or videos obtained without the relevant permission can lead to the decrease in financial benefits for the rightful owner of said rights, and in addition, it may also lead to a sanction for the user who took said photograph or video without being aware of the infringement.
- Given the practical impossibility of preventing such devices from entering locations wherein, for example, elements that cannot be photographed, such as a museum or the like, it is necessary to look for solutions which, on the one hand, make it easy for the user not to take such photographs or videos, and on the other hand, that do not damage the electronic devices.
- Many solutions are known for protecting elements or electronic devices, like a cover or the like, available in various sizes to protect the countless electronic devices that can take photographs or video clips, such as for example, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, cameras, etc. but said covers are not more than mere receptacles of the aforementioned devices, whose sole mission is to protect them from knocks or falls, dirt and/or damp that may affect said devices.
- Similarly, there are other means of housing, like covers, cases or the like, that prevent communications between the electronic device and other elements, but said covers do not prevent the electronic device and its implicit functions from being used in any way, but only prevent further potential communication once the photograph or video has been taken.
- Bags made in totally opaque materials that prevent photographs from being taken or videos from being made with the electronic device are also known, but have the major drawback of making it difficult to access and/or handle the other functions in the device, such as for example, making calls when using mobile phones.
- Finally, solutions based on the use of adhesive strips that are placed on the target of the electronic device and which make it difficult to take photographs or videos or prevent them from being taken are known, but said solution has the drawback of leaving the remains of the adhesive on the target which subsequently prevents the camera of the device of being used normally, as in general, the remains of the adhesive are difficult to clean and/or remove.
- The technical problem solved by the invention herein is to provide an element that serves as housing for an electronic device, like a mobile phone, tablet, camera or the like, which can inhibit the focus of the target when taking photographs or videos and which, in turn, can make it possible to handle the rest of the functions of said electronic device. To that end, the translucent cover for an electronic device, according to the present utility model is characterised by the fact it comprises a body that houses an electronic device, and wherein said body has a closure on the upper part thereof and which is characterised by the fact that said body is translucent.
- Thanks to its special design, proper focus when taking a photograph or video can be prevented, thereby avoiding copyright violations or preventing photographs from being taken that may damage the photographed object, for example, paintings or archaeological remains.
- Similarly, the cover disclosed herein is particularly useful, in those areas where it is necessary to control the electronic devices in a museum, cinema or a technology centre.
- Finally, the cover disclosed herein, shall similarly serve as other solutions present in the state of the art, as a means for protecting against knocks, dirt and/or damp, therefore the integrity of the electronic device shall not be affected at any time. In addition, the cover or case can be housed where the device is usually housed, not being necessary to take out the device from the aforementioned cover or housing in order to be housed in the cover presented herein.
- Throughout the description and claims the word "comprise" and its variants do not intend to exclude other technical characteristics, addends, components or steps. For persons skilled in the art, other objects, advantages and characteristics of the invention will emerge partly from the description and partly from implementing the invention.
