Abstract

The Microview is a standalone unit. The unit is portable and flexible in its application. It is a surveillance tool as well as a recording mechanism which can be left to acquire images at the users discretion. The Microview has the ability to capture image data for visual and security applications, and record the acquired images onto storage mechanism for retrieval at a later date. The storage medium can be read by a standalone computer running video software, (*.JPG, *, *..MPG, *.GIF or *. PDF). The optical device may be arranged for horizontal or vertical deflection and may be powered by a battery.

Description

2351408 Microview The Invention comprises an off the shelf Analogue OR
Digital optical device. This unit is controlled for both Vertical and Horizontal deflection. The Data output is fed to either a CPU / Micro-controller with analogue to digital controller OR to a Photo diode relay to acquire a Video signal. The Video signal is then operated upon by a EIDE or Host controller to format the data and sequence the information, upon which the signals are then fed to a temporary storage RAM unit which sequences storage of the acquired data to Storage device/ CD Rom Hard Disk / Floppy Disk or Tape streamer.
In the event that the Optical eye is Analogue, the data acquired is functionalised with the use of an EEprom before being operated on by the Host controller.
i.e. Digital CMOS camera - photo diode array - Host controller- RAM Storage OR Analogue camera - CPU and ADC (EEPROM) - EIDE interface host RAM - Storage.
The Storage data is then acquired by a PC running VIDEO SOFTWARE to reproduce the image/s.
MicroView Optical / Visual Data Recorder.
Optical view optical data recorder for installation into a motor car/ motor home/ motor cycle/ house/ Camper van / premises or other moving or stationary vehicle/ premises abode or property. The mechanism will record visually the progress of the vehicle/ motor car/ motor home/ motor cycle/ house/ Camper van / premises or other moving or stationary vehicle/ premises / abode or property in question, for Record/Insurance/Monitoring purposes. This mechanism will consist of the following media with which to operate.
L' The Optical recorder. 1. 1 An optical recorder shall be a visual image aquiring mechanism will ' view ' the data to aquire. This will be a still or video recording of any movement/s / happenings or motion in the close vicinity in the direction in which the uni-directional tense optical mechanism is pointed. This will also apply to a multi-directional tense mechanism. Within the focal length of the mechanism's lens.
1.2 This optical recorder will be connected to a storage device which will digitally or via analogue signal, keep a copy of happenings / movement I physical location / speed/ etc., in the direction in which the optical mechanism is pointed. This includes for a multi-directional & wide angled optical device. The area coverage for a uni-directional device will be an angle of +30 degrees right from the 'directly straight ahead' to degrees to the left of the ' directly straight ahead'. +10 degree above the horizontal to - 20 degrees below the horizontal planes.
1.3 This record will be stored via analogue or digital signal into an electronic mechanism and this information will be stored for the above record purposes onto tape / optical drive / CD ROM / Mini disk or any other storage mechanism available to receive such a signal, for a period specified, be it I second or infinity time.
2. The System. 2. 1 The optics (digital or otherwise), operated, will be connected via a cable,(fibre optic/coaxiaVcable' or multi core cable), to an electronic circuit which will in turn record for the period specified, movement in digital (or analogue), format and store this record onto a storage,(CD Ron-4 RAM, Hard Drive, Tape, Mini disk or otherwise available medium), medium.
2.2 This process will be governed by a Central Processor Unit and accompanying circuitry specifically designed for this purposes. The' NficroView' recorded will be housed in a secure casing and be powered by battery (internally or externally). The power will be supplied from an external battery, or local power pack connected to the device. The McroVieW will have an internal battery of it's own for it's own power requirements.
2.3 The interface between the optics and the storage / recording mechanism will be either a. An A to D converter to aflow digital storage from analogue optical pickup. b. Direct insertion of the data onto tape / CD Rom / RAM / Mini Disk or other recording mechanism available from a digital pickup. c. The storage of an analogue signal onto a recording mechanism be it tape or any other media available at the time.
3. Data Retrieval Data stored in analogue format, will be available to be viewed on a Visual Display Unit or any other device available at the time, or by being processed by an Analogue to Digital converter mounted either locally or using a modular circuit A to D circuit in a specified Computer or using a' Dongal ' manufactured specifically for the purpose of acquiring the stored data and viewed on a computer screen or display. Data stored in digital format, will be available to be viewed on a Computer screen directly through the specified computer CPU device and associated circuirty.
PS.
A series of drawings, equipment details and and overall percentage power consumption power draw / impedance tolerances / and performance details will follow this initial application at the earliest possible date. This application is to register a request for a Patent at the earliest possible date, to accertain authenticity and Inventorship.
