Description

  The present invention relates to an attachment for a camera-equipped mobile phone or a digital camera used by being attached to a camera-equipped mobile phone or a digital camera.

  The spread of mobile phones in recent years is remarkable. One of the factors is the popularity of camera phones.

A mobile phone with a camera is literally a mobile phone with a camera. Such a camera-equipped mobile phone camera incorporates an image pickup means normally formed by a CCD (charge coupled device) in a case of a general mobile phone, and is exposed from a case at a predetermined position of the case. In such a state, a camera lens that guides image light to the imaging unit is provided.
The camera-equipped mobile phone can take a photo by such a configuration.

A camera-equipped mobile phone has a function that enables a user to easily take a picture with a mobile phone that is often carried around. A camera-equipped mobile phone also attaches a photograph taken with the camera-equipped mobile phone to an e-mail realized by the e-mail function provided by the mobile phone, thereby allowing other devices to use the power of other devices. In many cases, it has a function not available in ordinary cameras that can be transmitted without borrowing. These characteristic functions provide new enjoyment that a general camera does not have.
By having such a characteristic function, the mobile phone with a camera has succeeded in stimulating the user's playfulness and has been widely spread to young people who have many opportunities to take pictures.

In view of such a current situation, it can be understood that there is something that further stimulates the playfulness of the user in order to further promote the use of camera-equipped mobile phones.
Considering these points, researches are being conducted to give camera phones with functions that further stimulate the sense of fun of the user.
For example, images that could be captured with a camera-equipped mobile phone were previously only still images, but now it is also possible to capture moving images and frame-by-frame images. Also, a recent camera mobile phone has a function of storing a predetermined image in a memory built in the camera mobile phone and synthesizing it with an image captured by the camera mobile phone.

  In this way, attempts to add various functions are also made in digital cameras for the same purpose of further spreading.

As described above, the inventor of the present application conducts research to give a camera-equipped mobile phone or digital camera a new function for stimulating the user's playfulness. I came up with the idea of giving a new function that stimulates.
That is, the invention proposed by the present inventor is as follows.

The present invention relates to a camera-equipped mobile phone or a digital camera that is used by magnifying an image of an object to be imaged and attaching the camera-equipped mobile phone or digital camera to the camera-equipped mobile phone or digital camera for use as a microscope. It is an attachment.
Note that the camera-equipped mobile phone or the camera-equipped mobile phone to which the digital camera attachment is attached need not be special. A general mobile phone with a camera or a digital camera may be used. For example, a case, an imaging unit that is incorporated in the case and captures image light from an imaging target to be imaged, and is exposed from the case at least when imaging is performed. A camera lens through which the image light passes and is guided to the imaging unit, and the case is provided with a display screen on which an image captured by the imaging unit is displayed. It may be a mobile phone with a camera or a digital camera having a surface on which the camera is provided and a surface on which the camera is provided. In addition, the “mobile phone” in this specification includes PHS.
In the camera-equipped mobile phone or digital camera attachment according to the present invention, the camera-equipped mobile phone or the digital camera can be detachably attached with the display screen visible from the outside and the camera lens exposed downward. A fixing tool to be fixed, and an objective lens connected to the fixing tool to increase the magnification of an image picked up by the imaging means, and when the camera-equipped mobile phone or the digital camera is fixed to the fixing tool In addition, the camera lens of the camera-equipped mobile phone or the digital camera that is exposed from the fixture and the optical axis thereof coincide with each other, the illumination that irradiates the imaging object with predetermined illumination light, and the fixture And a supporting means for supporting the fixing device in such a manner that it can move in parallel with the optical axis direction. That.

By using this camera phone or digital camera attachment, you can attach the camera phone or digital camera to the fixture as necessary, and use the objective lens to zoom the display screen of the camera phone or digital camera. An enlarged image with a raised angle can be displayed, and the camera-equipped mobile phone or digital camera can be used as a microscope in a fixed state.
As described above, since the function of using a camera-equipped mobile phone or a digital camera as a microscope is a function that does not exist in a conventional mobile phone or the like, this function can stimulate user's playfulness.

Any fixing device can be used as long as the display screen is visible from the outside and the camera lens or the digital camera can be detachably fixed with the camera lens exposed downward. It doesn't matter.
The fixing tool is not limited to this, but includes, for example, a receiving unit in which a mobile phone with a camera or a digital camera can be placed, and a lock for fixing the mobile phone with camera or the digital camera arranged in the receiving unit. It is good also as a receiving member by which the stop part was integrally molded.
In addition, for example, the fixture is constituted by a magnet or a magnetic body, and an intermediate member made of the magnetic body or magnet is attached to a mobile phone with a camera or a digital camera, and is fixed to the fixture via the intermediate member. You may comprise as follows. The intermediate member and the fixture need only be configured to be attracted and fixed to each other by magnetic force, and both may be configured with magnets.
Such an intermediate member may be anything that can be attached to a camera-equipped mobile phone or a digital camera and can be fixed to the fixing device by suction, for example, a camera-equipped mobile phone or It may be a thin plate or ring shape that can be attached to the surface of the digital camera. Further, it may be used by attaching to a surface other than the surface where the camera-equipped mobile phone or the camera of the digital camera is provided.

The objective lens is connected to the fixture, and is a lens for increasing the magnification of an image captured by the imaging unit. The objective lens has the same optical axis as the camera lens of the camera phone or digital camera exposed from the fixture when the camera phone or digital camera is fixed to the fixture. Anything to do.
Note that the magnification of the objective lens to be used may be determined according to the purpose of imaging, such as the type of imaging object, and may be, for example, about 10 times or more. Such an opportunity to see a magnified image at a high magnification is not a daily event for general users, and by realizing such a high magnification, the present invention further stimulates the playfulness of the user. Moreover, if the magnification is about 50 times, it can function sufficiently as a microscope.

  The illumination may be anything that can irradiate the imaging object with predetermined illumination light. For example, a light emitting diode (LED) can be used as the illumination.

  In addition, another camera-equipped mobile phone or digital camera attachment of the present invention can be attached to and detached from the camera-equipped mobile phone or the digital camera with the display screen visible from the outside and the camera lens exposed. A fixing tool to be fixed, and an objective lens connected to the fixing tool to increase the magnification of an image captured by the imaging means, and the camera-equipped cellular phone or the digital camera attachment is the camera-equipped cellular phone or the When fixed to a digital camera, the camera cell phone exposed from the fixture or a camera lens of the digital camera whose optical axis coincides with the object to be imaged is irradiated with predetermined illumination light And a predetermined position with respect to the objective lens. An optical distance from the imaging object to the objective lens is fixed by abutting on the image object, and the camera lens and the objective when the part is abutted on the imaging object are fixed. And a positioning assist unit configured such that a focus position by a combination of lenses is positioned at an imageable position of the imaging unit.

If this camera phone or digital camera attachment is used, the camera phone or digital camera can be attached to the camera phone or digital camera by attaching the camera phone or digital camera attachment to the camera phone or digital camera as necessary. On the display screen, an enlarged image with a magnification increased by an objective lens can be displayed, and a camera-equipped mobile phone or the like can be used as a handy type microscope. As described above, since the function of using a camera-equipped mobile phone or the like as a microscope is a function not found in conventional mobile phones or the like, this function can stimulate the playfulness of the user.
In addition, when an enlarged image is captured, the imaging range is narrowed, so that the problem of camera shake is likely to occur. Such a camera shake problem is conspicuous in a handy type camera. However, a mobile phone with a camera or a digital camera with a digital camera attachment according to the present invention is a handy type camera that captures an enlarged image. Since it corresponds exactly, it is preferable to have a function for suppressing camera shake.
The positioning auxiliary means for the camera-equipped mobile phone or digital camera attachment of the present invention has a function of suppressing camera shake. The positioning assisting unit is used with a part (for example, a tip) of the positioning assisting unit being brought into contact with the imaging target when capturing an enlarged image. With such positioning assistance means, when taking a magnified image with a camera-equipped mobile phone or a camera-equipped mobile phone with a digital camera attachment attached or a digital camera camera, a part of the positioning assistance means is imaged. By contacting the object outside the imaging target range, the relative positional relationship between the camera-equipped mobile phone and the imaging target range of the imaging target can be stabilized.
Therefore, if there is a positioning assistance means, it is difficult to cause a problem such that the imaging target comes out of the imaging target range due to camera shake during imaging of the enlarged image.
Note that the positioning assist means described above has a function of making it easy to perform focusing because a part of the positioning assist means is focused. If there is a positioning assist means as described above, camera shake can be reduced, so that difficulty in focusing can be reduced.

The objective lens of the camera-equipped mobile phone or digital camera attachment described above may be integrally formed with the fixture, but may be configured to be detachable from the fixture. Good.
If it is configured to be detachable from the fixture, it can be replaced with an objective lens having a magnification according to the purpose of imaging, such as the type of imaging object, and the utility value as a microscope can be further increased.

Further, another camera-equipped cellular phone or digital camera attachment of the present invention has a plurality of objective lenses having different magnifications, which are configured to be detachable from the fixture, and the plurality of objective lenses Any one of the above may be provided with appropriate illumination, and may have a plurality of illuminations configured to be detachable from the fixture.
Generally, when taking an enlarged image, illumination is more important than when performing normal imaging. That is, when an enlarged image is taken, the imaging target range is narrowed. Therefore, the higher the magnification, the smaller the amount of light reaching the imaging target range and the darker the image.
Therefore, it is preferable that there is illumination having an appropriate brightness for the magnification of the objective lens, but according to such a camera-equipped cellular phone or digital camera attachment, not only the objective lens but also the objective lens Since the illumination is also detachable, the illumination can be changed according to the objective lens to be used, and the imaging object can be illuminated with appropriate brightness.

Further, the objective lens and the illumination capable of performing appropriate illumination on the objective lens may be integrally configured.
According to such a camera-equipped cellular phone or digital camera attachment, it is possible to easily attach an optimal combination without wondering which illumination is optimal for the objective lens to be used. In addition, it is possible to reduce the work burden of replacing the attached one with another combination.

The fixture may be configured to be detachable from the support means.
Currently, mobile phones with a camera are divided into a case where the camera is provided and a portion where the camera is not provided, and a structure in which both are connected by a hinge (two-fold type) and a two-fold type. Some are not types.
Further, even in each type, the position where the display screen for displaying the image captured by the camera is not unified, and there are various shapes and sizes. This is common to digital cameras.
Under such circumstances, according to the camera-equipped mobile phone or digital camera attachment of the present invention, the fixing device is configured to be detachable from the support means. The attachment can be replaced with a camera-equipped mobile phone or a fixing device having a shape suitable for the digital camera, so that a plurality of types of camera-equipped mobile phones can be handled.

Further, such a camera-equipped cellular phone or digital camera attachment is further provided at a predetermined position with respect to the objective lens, and one of them is used when the fixture is detached from the support means. An optical distance from the imaging object to the objective lens is fixed by bringing a part into contact with the imaging object, and the camera lens when the part is brought into contact with the imaging object And an objective lens are provided with a positioning auxiliary means in which the focus position by the combination of the objective lens is positioned at an imageable position of the imaging means, and the positioning auxiliary means moves within a predetermined range parallel to the optical axis direction. When the camera is used with the fixing means attached to the supporting means, the camera-equipped mobile phone or digital camera The use as attachment of the microscope may be movable in a position that does not interfere.
This makes it possible to use a camera-equipped mobile phone or a digital camera as a microscope and a handy-type microscope. Further, the positioning auxiliary means can be moved to an unobstructed position when used with the fixing means attached to the support means, that is, when a camera-equipped mobile phone or the like is used as a microscope. And easy to use.

The camera-equipped mobile phone or digital camera attachment further includes a plurality of holders each having a different shape that can be detachably attached to the camera-equipped mobile phone or the digital camera having a predetermined shape. The plurality of holders may be detachably attached to the fixture in a state in which the camera-equipped mobile phone or the digital camera having a predetermined shape is attached.
According to the camera-equipped cellular phone or digital camera attachment of the present invention having such a holder, it is not necessary to remove the fixture from the support means, and it is not necessary to provide a plurality of fixtures. An attachment for a mobile phone with a camera or a digital camera can be attached to the mobile phone with a camera or a digital camera.

Further, when the camera-equipped mobile phone or the digital camera attached to the camera-equipped cellular phone or the digital camera attachment further has camera illumination that irradiates illumination light to the imaging object, the fixture is The camera-equipped mobile phone or the digital camera may be detachably attached with the camera illumination exposed.
As described above, when taking a magnified image, illumination is more important than when performing general imaging. However, in this camera-equipped cellular phone or digital camera attachment, illumination from illumination from a camera-equipped cellular phone, etc. An illumination light optical system that guides light to an imaging target to be imaged (more specifically, to an imaging target range of the imaging target) is provided. Since the camera illumination can be used for illuminating the object (the imaging target range), the cost can be reduced.
In the present invention, “when the camera illumination is exposed” may be a state where the light source itself is exposed or a state where light is guided from the light source and emitted. An example of the latter is a state in which light is guided from a light source using an optical fiber and light guided from the tip of the optical fiber is emitted.

Further, another camera-equipped cellular phone or digital camera attachment of the present invention is incorporated in a case and the case, and captures an image by capturing image light from an imaging target to be imaged. And a camera having a camera lens that is exposed from at least the case when taking an image and through which the image light passes and is guided to the image pickup unit. A camera used by being attached to a camera-equipped mobile phone or digital camera having a surface on which a display screen on which an image picked up by the image pickup means is displayed and a surface on which the camera is provided Mobile phone or digital camera attachment, the display screen can be viewed from the outside, and the camera lens is exposed, A mobile phone with a camera or a fixing device that detachably fixes the digital camera, and an optical element that is connected to the fixing device and has an effect on an image captured by the imaging means. It may be.
If this camera phone or digital camera attachment is used, the camera phone or digital camera can be attached to the fixture as necessary, and displayed on the display screen of the camera phone or digital camera by the optical element. A special effect can be given to the image.
