Definitions
- the present invention relates to an automated portable camera device connectable to a network, including the Internet, allowing the instant capture of self-portraits and in particular identity photos.
- the photographic device that is the subject of the invention is a device that pale to these drawbacks because it is very compact, easily transportable from one place to another because it is small and light enough to be carried by one person and can enter the trunk of a car.
- the device is maintenance-free except for paper and ink replenishment.
- the photographic device which is the subject of the invention is used in a stationary manner and must be connected to an electrical outlet.
- the device is placed on a table or on a higher point so that it is at the height of the head.
- the photographic device that is the subject of the invention is mainly constituted by a substantially parallelepipedal housing comprising firstly a user interface located on a front face or face in this housing and equipped with a screen, preferably in portrait format, a micro-camera as well as buttons for actuation and selection, and secondly a printer equipped with a paper sheet power supply mounted on the inner part of this housing .
- the user interface and the printer cooperate with a motherboard mounted on the inside of the case and provided with boxes supply and connection as well as control means for taking at regular intervals a series of several, preferably four photos from the front of the user interface, in particular a user positioned in front of the screen, to gather these photos by juxtaposing them on a single board to display them on the screen, to locally record the image of this board in the device, to unload it to a remote computer server and to print this picture on a sheet of paper.
- the motherboard is advantageously equipped with a Wifi system as well as means making it possible to obtain a wired connection to a network, in particular to the Internet via an Ethernet port located on the box, preferably on the back side of this case.
- the housing is equipped with a main operating button, preferably mounted on the upper face thereof and cooperating with the motherboard to turn on the micro-camera and enable it. to film the front of the user interface to display the image filmed on the screen, and to, after a predefined delay, take at regular intervals the series of several, preferably four photos which will then be collected and juxtaposed on a single board and displayed on the screen.
- a main operating button preferably mounted on the upper face thereof and cooperating with the motherboard to turn on the micro-camera and enable it.
- the user interface may advantageously be equipped with a series of light strips, in particular based on LEDs, and preferably four light strips respectively located on each side of the front face of the housing.
- the main actuation button can advantageously cooperate with the motherboard to control the lighting of the light bands after the preset time and the extinction of these light bands after taking the series of photos.
- the actuation and selection buttons comprise three pushbuttons preferably having different colors, namely:
- a first push button or validation button cooperating with the motherboard to allow local recording of the image board in the device and if necessary to download it to a remote computer server and print or reprint this image
- a second push button or alternative choice button co-operating with the motherboard to enable the image of the board to be saved locally or, if necessary, to a remote server without being printed, and
- a third push button or cancel button cooperating with the motherboard to interrupt the backup and printing of the image of the board and reinit the device, and if necessary to allow viewing of photos.
- the user interface may advantageously also be equipped with a two-position lever switch cooperating with the motherboard to allow a choice between a color photo mode and a black and white photo mode.
- the user interface may also advantageously be equipped with a three-position lever switch cooperating with the motherboard to allow a selection to be made between three modes of printing an image of four photos collected on a board, to know :
- a third printing mode in which the four photos are printed on the sheet by being arranged in two rows of photos.
- the user interface can also advantageously be equipped with a two-position auxiliary lever switch cooperating with the motherboard to enable to activate or deactivate the light strips when taking pictures.
- the user interface can also be equipped with an LED matrix cooperating with the motherboard to display the countdown when taking photographs.
- the photographic device that is the subject of the invention can be in the form of a box (27.5 * 27.5 * 22 cm) and correspond to a single unitary part that can be decomposed in seven parts:
- the user interface located on one side of the box, interface in front of which the user will position, and which includes a screen of 18cm in portrait format, a micro camera, three push buttons, three switches to lever, an 8 * 8 LED matrix (a small square screen composed of a luminous dot) and four LED-based light strips, one on each side of the box,
- an IEC cord for feeding the power strip, said cord being connected to the back of the box.
- this device comprises the following elements:
- main operation button (used to start the photo taking process)
- LED strip used to illuminate the scene when taking a photo
- Auxiliary two-position switch to turn on / off LED lighting when taking pictures.
- the motherboard is equipped with a WiFi system allowing it to connect to the Internet. If no wireless network is available, it can connect directly to a network using an Ethernet port on the back of the box.
- the motherboard directly controls the printer to which it is connected via a USB socket.
- the main program is automatically started by turning on the motherboard.
- the photographic device operates according to the following steps:
- the camera (2) automatically turns on and films what is directly in front of the box.
- the filmed image is displayed on the screen (3), in the inverted position, horizontally (as in a mirror),
- the LED light strips (4) located on the four sides of the box, light up for optimal exposure, the camera takes a series of 4 photos, at a regular interval of 3 seconds,
- the program gathers the 4 photos juxtaposed in a single board of format A6 (105 * 148mm) and displays the result on the screen,
- the three pushbuttons (6,7,8) located on the user interface are illuminated in three different colors: green, orange and red.
- the image is downloaded to a computer server of the user's choice. Therefore, the user has the choice to create a web page to view and share images online.
- the program starts printing the image by the printer, the printing can be output through a rectangular hole provided for this purpose, located on the right side of the box.
- the three lever switches located on the user interface, allow to modify the "behavior" of the program when it is waiting:
- the first switch (9), with two positions, makes it possible to choose between the color photo mode and the black and white photo mode
- the second switch (10), with three positions allows the choice between 1 - in which case it is printed on the whole surface of the paper, 2 - in which case, the photos are oriented at 90 ° and reduced in half to be printed on the paper- or 4 photos - in which case they are arranged in 2 rows of two photos,
- the third switch disables the LED lighting when taking pictures when necessary (12). Pictures taken can be viewed by pressing the third push button (red) when the program is waiting.
- the camera will be able to become 100% plug'en'play whereas today, even if it is enough to connect the plug so that it starts and so that it starts the program, it is always necessary to open the box to light and turn off the printer manually.
- the system would also improve the LED lighting system, depending on the needs of the photo shoot, while today it only has the positions “off” and "on”.
