  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an electronic hand mirror according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  In FIG. 1, an electronic hand mirror 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 1 and a lid 2 attached to the main body 1 by a hinge 10 so as to be freely opened and closed. The lid portion 2 is installed at the upper right portion thereof, and is installed on the left side of the CCD camera 3 with an autofocus function for imaging a subject and the CCD camera holder 4 for holding the CCD camera 3, and has a million to 2 million pixels. And a substantially rectangular liquid crystal screen 5 having a height of 0.06 m and a width of 0.08 m for displaying a captured image. The CCD camera holder 4 is 180 ° reversible from the inner surface (surface to which the liquid crystal screen 5 is attached) 2a side of the lid 2 to the outer surface (surface opposite to the inner surface 2a) 2b of the lid 2. In addition, the lid 2 is detachably attached.

  The main body 1 has an inversion button 6 for inversion control of an image captured by the CCD camera 3, an enlargement zoom button 7 for enlarging the size of the image captured by the CCD camera 3, and a CCD on the upper surface 1a. A reduction zoom button 8 for reducing the size of an image captured by the camera 3; When the enlargement zoom button 7 and the reduction zoom button 8 are operated, digital processing is performed based on an enlargement / reduction program stored in a memory (not shown) built in the main body 1 and the built-in main body 1 The enlarged / reduced processing unit (not shown) enlarges or reduces the size of the captured image by 0.5 to 4 times that of the subject (digital zoom). For example, each time the enlargement zoom button 7 is pressed, the enlargement / reduction processing unit enlarges the size of the captured image in order of 1.5 times, 2 times, 3 times, or 4 times the subject, and every time the reduction zoom button 8 is pressed. The size of the captured image is reduced in order of 3 times, 2 times, 1.5 times, 1 time, and 0.5 times that of the subject. Note that such enlargement / reduction zoom may be a continuous zoom. The main body 1 has a built-in lithium ion battery as in the case of the mobile phone, and is charged by the same method as that of the mobile phone. An image captured by the CCD camera 3 is stored in another removable memory (not shown), and the stored image is played back by an image playback unit (not shown).

  Hereinafter, the operation and usage of the electronic hand mirror 100 of FIG. 1 will be described.

  The electronic hand mirror 100 is in a state where the upper surface 1a of the main body 1 and the inner side surface 2a of the lid 2 are separated (open state) from a state where the upper surface 1a of the main body 1 and the inner side surface 2a of the lid 2 are in contact (closed state). ), The power is automatically input and the backlight of the liquid crystal screen 5 is turned on. An alarm is generated when the power is input for 10 to 15 minutes, and the power is automatically turned off 20 minutes after the power is input.

  For example, when making up while looking at the image of the face of the person, the CCD camera holder 4 is installed so that the CCD camera 3 is oriented toward the inner side surface 2a, so that the image of the face of the person is easy to see. An angle A of the lid 2 with respect to the main body 1 is adjusted. Further, for example, when reading small characters in a newspaper or the like, the CCD camera holder 4 is inverted so that the CCD camera 3 is oriented on the outer surface 2b side, and a newspaper or the like installed on the outer surface 2b side is used. The angle A of the lid 2 with respect to the main body 1 is adjusted so that the image is easy to see. When applying nail polish or nail art, the CCD camera holder 4 removed from the lid 2 is attached to, for example, a flexible holder (not shown) that swings back and forth and left and right. Can be done.

  According to the present embodiment, the CCD camera holder 4 can be reversed from the inner side 2a side of the lid 2 to the outer side 2b side of the lid 2, so that the subject can be either the inner side 2a side or the outer side 2b side. Even when the subject exists, the subject can be easily imaged and the captured image of the subject can be easily seen.

  According to the present embodiment, since the CCD camera holder 4 is detachably attached to the lid 2, the subject can be easily imaged and the subject can be imaged even when the subject is away from the electronic hand mirror 100. You can easily see the image.

  According to the present embodiment, since the inversion button 6 for performing the inversion control of the image captured by the CCD camera 3 is installed in the main body 1, the image captured by the CCD camera 3 can be easily inverted.

  According to the present embodiment, since the enlargement zoom button 7 and the reduction zoom button 8 are installed in the main body 1, the size of the captured image can be easily changed.

  In the present embodiment, the CCD camera holder 4 is inverted 180 degrees from the inner side 2a side of the lid 2 to the outer side 2b side of the lid 2, but the rotation angle is not limited to 180 degrees. For example, the rotation angle may be 90 degrees, 45 degrees, or 30 degrees. Also, the direction of rotation is not limited.

  In the present embodiment, the captured image is 1 million to 2 million pixels, but is not limited thereto, and may be 3 million pixels or more, for example.

  In the present embodiment, an inversion button 6 for inversion control of an image captured by the CCD camera 3, an enlargement zoom button 7 for enlarging the size of the captured image, and the size of the captured image are provided on the upper surface 1a of the main body 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, a mouse cursor 21 and a liquid crystal are provided on the upper surface 1 a of the main body 1. A touch pen storage unit 22 for storing a touch pen acting on the screen 5 and a mouse button 23 may be provided. A lamp that irradiates the subject with light may be provided in the main body 1 or the lid 2.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the electronic hand mirror 100 includes a CCD camera 3, a CCD camera holder 4, a liquid crystal screen 5, a reverse button 6, an enlargement zoom button 7, and a reduction zoom button 8 for right-handed users. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the arrangement may be changed for a left-handed user.

  In the present embodiment, the liquid crystal screen 5 has a substantially rectangular shape with a height of 0.06 m and a width of 0.08 m, but the size and shape are not limited to this, and the height is 0.03 m to 0.18 m and the width is 0. Any size or shape may be used as long as it is in the range of .04 m to 0.24 m.

  In the present embodiment, an imaging function (CCD camera 3) for imaging a subject, a display function (liquid crystal screen 5) for displaying a captured image, and a zoom function (enlarged zoom button 7 and reduced zoom button 8) for enlarging or reducing the captured image. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a function expansion slot (for example, a CF slot) is built in the main body 1 to add functions such as a PDA function, a digital camera function, and a mobile phone function. May be. Note that an earphone, a microphone, or the like is used to develop the mobile phone function.
