Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a body accessory selection assisting device, in particular, by observing and / or comparing the state of using it when selecting an eyeglass frame on a television monitor. The present invention relates to an auxiliary device that facilitates the selection.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when selecting a wearer for the body, it is common to judge the state of wearing various things directly or directly by using a mirror. But these decisions are often not enough, aside from personal preferences.
This is because the nuances are slightly different from those seen by third parties. Also, some of those who use glasses to correct their vision will not be able to recognize their face if they do not have it. This person cannot look through the mirror while wearing a spectacle frame without a lens. Therefore, recording / playback using a VTR may be used recently for selecting eyeglass frames. However, this method is complicated in operation. In addition, there is a disadvantage that the comparison cannot be sufficiently performed due to the limitations of human memory.

Therefore, the present applicant has already filed Japanese Patent Application No. 61-106986,
Although an eyeglass frame selection assisting device with a multi-screen split display function has been proposed, the TV monitor unit and the TV camera unit are merely connected through a cord, so there is not only a management problem but also a problem with shooting with a TV camera. However, there is a disadvantage in that the photographer must operate the television camera from 1 or the wearer must move to a position designated in advance.

[Object of the Invention] In view of the above-mentioned disadvantages of the conventional device, a first object of the present invention is to
An object of the present invention is to provide a body accessory selection assisting device that can easily perform alignment between a wearer and a television camera without being particularly conscious. A second object of the present invention is to provide a body accessory selection assisting device capable of easily taking a picture in a posture and a position desired by a wearer. A third object of the present invention is to provide a body accessory selection assisting device in which an obstacle such as a disconnection hardly occurs and in which the management of the device is easy.

[Constitution of the Invention] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a body accessory selection assisting device for photographing a subject and displaying the photographed image as a still image on a television monitor by reflecting a part of visible light. A mirror penetrating the mirror, a television camera arranged to aim at the subject when viewing the subject at a predetermined position on the mirror, mirror angle changing means for changing the angle of the mirror, and a mirror provided by the mirror angle changing means And a photographing optical axis changing means for changing the angle of the optical axis of the television camera in accordance with the angle change of the television camera.

[Embodiment of the Invention] Hereinafter, an eyeglass frame selection assisting device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, the functions of the spectacle frame selection auxiliary device will be clarified by describing a block diagram of an electric system of the frame memory unit and the controller unit.

 FIG. 3 is a block diagram thereof.

The television camera 11 is pointed at a subject to shoot. After the video signal from the TV camera 11 is separated into colors by an RGB decoder and converted into digital signals by an A / D converter 22 for each color,
The data is stored in the dual port memory 23. After that, it is stored in the dynamic RAM 26. The storage capacity required for the dynamic RAM 26 varies depending on the method of use, but generally four frames are sufficient for selecting eyeglass frames. Even with this storage capacity, for example, if it is used for two-screen split display in which one screen is divided into half screens for left-right comparison and contrast, the same result as that of storing a total of eight screens is obtained. The device of the present embodiment has a two-screen split display function. Whether the display is divided into two screens or one screen is selected by the control switch 32 and the switch interface 33 in the control switch group 6 shown in FIG. The half-screen input image is read in any combination by the CPU 28, the DMA controller 29, the ROM 30, and the RAM 31, and temporarily stored in the dual port memory 23, and then converted into an analog signal by the D / A converter 24. Original 1 via RGB encoder 25
Return to one signal and play back and display it on the TV monitor.

FIG. 1 is an external view of one embodiment of a spectacle frame selection auxiliary device according to the present invention in which a television monitor, a mirror and a television camera are integrally formed.

1 is a television monitor, 2 is a mirror having a transmittance on the front side, reflects a part of the light from the front side to form a virtual image of the subject, and captures the transmitted light in front by a television camera (half mirror). ). If the transmittance of the mirror is kept low, strong illuminating light is required. Therefore, it is preferable to increase the transmittance to 50% or more as much as possible within a range where a virtual image of a subject can be clearly formed.

 Reference numerals 3 and 4 are mirror angle adjustment units.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a floppy disk slot, and 6 denotes a group of various control switches. The control switch group includes a screen selection switch for selecting which screen is to be transferred, a focus perspective switch, and the like.

FIG. 2-1 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1 and is a diagram illustrating a mirror angle adjusting mechanism.

Mirror angle adjusters 3 and 4 each composed of a mirror holder are fixed to both ends of the mirror, and are connected to a sheet metal frame 9. Numeral 11 denotes a television camera, and numeral 12 denotes the television camera lens, which is fixed to the sheet metal frame 9. The TV camera lens 12 is set close to the aperture. The TV camera 11 is integrated with the mirror 2 and the mirror angle adjusters 3 and 4.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a rotary bearing connected to a sheet metal frame 19, which rotates about a rotary shaft 10 fixed to a stationary part. Reference numeral 7 denotes a range that moves about the rotation axis 10 with the adjustment of the mirror angle.

When the mirror angle adjuster 3 is pressed, the mirror 2 and the sheet metal frame 9 are pressed.
TV camera 11 (TV camera lens fixed to
(Including 12) changes the angle in the clockwise direction about the rotation axis 10. FIG. 2-2 shows this state.

Also, pressing part 4 changes the angle of the mirror in a counterclockwise direction. In this embodiment, only the angle in the vertical direction can be changed, but it is easy to change it in the horizontal direction. In this case, the mirror needs to be extended slightly forward.

Furthermore, a simple mirror is used instead of a half mirror,
It is clear that a certain effect can be obtained even if a hole is made in a part of the mirror and the camera is viewed from there.

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the position of the subject is confirmed through the mirror,
Alignment with the television camera can be performed easily and accurately. In addition, the angle of the mirror itself can be changed, and no special operation is required in accordance with the change of the angle, so that the alignment is facilitated.
