Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve problems that when a smartphone is mounted at a high position so as to overlook the entire room and used for a surveillance camera for crime prevention, an AC cord attached to the smartphone does not reach and a battery runs short, which makes it impossible to perform long-term monitoring, and also that when the smartphone is mounted in a vehicle under parking for prevention of vehicle mischief, power cannot be taken from the vehicle whose engine is stopped, which likewise makes it impossible to perform long-term monitoring.SOLUTION: A smartphone holder is configured so that power supply means 2 is equipped to the lower portion of an instrument for holding a smartphone 1 to supply power to the smartphone 1 at all times, so that the smartphone is usable as a surveillance camera for a long time.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

  The present invention relates to a holder characterized in that a smartphone is fixed in order to use the smartphone for a surveillance camera, and a power supply means is provided to prevent the battery from running out.

  Smartphones have become widespread throughout the world, and the ownership rate in Japan has exceeded 50%. Replacement of the new model is also active, and many people own multiple old model smartphones, and there are many cases where a dedicated program is put into an unused smartphone and reused for surveillance cameras.

  When a smartphone is used as a security camera, it is desirable to fix the smartphone at a high position in the room so that the entire room to be monitored can be seen. However, there are few smartphone holders suitable for such applications. Furthermore, the old model smartphones used for several years often have a deteriorated battery, and the installation position for surveillance cameras is often a place where the AC adapter cord attached to the smartphone is difficult to reach. Moreover, when installing in the parked vehicle as a vehicle mischief prevention, electric power cannot be taken from the vehicle in which the engine is stopped.

For the above reasons, such a utilization method is not widespread while a surveillance camera program for smartphones exists.

  As an improvement measure, in this patent, a smartphone holder that can always supply power to a smartphone is devised. If a charging battery having a sufficient capacity for a smartphone to operate for several days is used as the power supply means, even a smartphone with a deteriorated battery can be used as a monitoring camera.

  The problem to be solved is that when an idle smartphone with a deteriorated battery is reused for security camera applications for crime prevention, if the smartphone is installed at a high position overlooking the entire room, the AC cord attached to the smartphone will not reach And because the battery is insufficient, it cannot be monitored for a long time.

The holder of this invention equips the lower part of the instrument holding a smart phone with the exchangeable charging battery, and connects with a smart phone. Prepare multiple rechargeable batteries so that they can be replaced as soon as the rechargeable battery connected to the surveillance camera runs out of power. By making it possible to attach an AC adapter of the same shape as the rechargeable battery and a sufficiently long AC cord, the user can select a better one according to the holder installation location.

  When the holder of the present invention is used, power can be supplied to the smartphone at all times. Therefore, even if a surveillance camera program that tends to consume power is always operated, there is no problem that monitoring is interrupted due to a shortage of battery during absence.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a method for implementing a holder that constantly supplies power so that a smartphone can be used as a monitoring camera. Example 1 FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing a method of implementing a holder equipped with a mirror so that the photographing range can be easily confirmed when the rear camera of the smartphone is used. (Example 2) FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing an implementation method of a smartphone holder equipped with a human sensor and a light so that photographing can be performed even in a dark room. (Example 3) FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an implementation method for using a smartphone as an outdoor surveillance camera. Example 4 FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an implementation method for use as a surveillance camera for preventing mischief of a car. (Example 5)

  FIG. 1 is a front view and a side view of an embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention, and 1 to 6 are the same as FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and 5. FIG.

  The smartphone 1 is fixed by the smartphone fixing device 3. The smartphone fixing device 3 has a shape that does not block the screen, the microphone, the connector, and the operation switch of the smartphone 1 regardless of how the smartphone 1 is attached.

  The power supply means 2 is fixed to the holder by a power supply means fixing device 5. The power supply means 2 is a rechargeable battery or an AC adapter. This supplies power to the smartphone 1. When the power supply means 2 is a rechargeable battery, it is equipped with an LED that indicates the state of charge so that it can be seen how much it can be used.

  The movable part 4 can adjust and fix the smartphone fixing device 3 at a free angle. The main body attachment portion 6 attaches the entire holder to the wall 7 with sufficient strength to support the entire holder.

  The embodiment of FIG. 2 shows an attachment method when the rear camera of the smartphone 1 is used. In general, smartphones are often equipped with a camera with better performance than the front camera, and there are also models that do not have a front camera. In this case, it is necessary to check on the front screen of the smartphone 1 whether the entire room can be monitored, but by changing the angle of the smartphone fixing device 3 while checking the screen by reflecting the screen of the smartphone 1 with the mirror 8. Can do.

  The embodiment of FIG. 3 is an embodiment provided with a human sensor 9 and a light 10 so that a dark room can be photographed. Security surveillance cameras take pictures of a home away from home, and it is common to turn off lighting in the room. Smartphone cameras are not suitable for shooting in dark rooms, and there may be a problem that important shooting is not possible in the unlikely event. The embodiment of FIG. 3 solves this problem. When the human sensor 9 detects an abnormality, the light 10 generates sufficient illuminance for photographing with a smartphone. Electric power necessary for the human sensor 9 and the light 10 is supplied from the power supply means 2. Such a mechanism makes it possible to know the presence of a surveillance camera with a smartphone in a vacant nest, etc., but many smartphone surveillance camera programs store the captured results in a cloud service on the Internet, so by chance Even if is destroyed, you can leave an image of the empty nest.

  The embodiment of FIG. 4 is an example in which a holder is placed in an outdoor installation case 11 so that it can be used as an outdoor surveillance camera, an outdoor case mounting bracket 13 is attached to be attached to an outdoor pole 14, and a key 12 is provided to prevent smartphone theft. It is. In this case, the human sensor 9 and the light 10 are mounted outside the case 11 for outdoor installation.

  The embodiment of FIG. 5 is an example of being attached to a vehicle sun visor 15 so that it can be used as a surveillance camera for preventing mischief of the vehicle. In this case, the smartphone 1 is connected to the network so that the recorded data can be stored in the cloud. Normally, the power cannot be taken in the vehicle while the engine is stopped, but in the present invention, the power supply means 2 allows the smartphone 1 to be operated as a monitoring camera for a long time.

  A smart camera can be installed at a high position overlooking the entire room or in a car with the engine stopped, and it can be used to prevent vacant nests while away and to prevent mischief of the car.
