Description

Such a peep prevention device is used to prevent peeping and voyeurism using a web camera mounted on a personal computer or a mobile camera mounted on a mobile phone.

    In recent years, there have been incidents where a virus is invaded into another person's personal computer and the web camera is hijacked to look into another person's private life or to take a voyeur.

    For this reason, conventionally, when not in use, a personal computer is covered and the webcam lens is covered to prevent such peeping and voyeurism.

    However, in the conventional prevention method, since it is necessary to cover the PC so as to cover the shooting lens of the webcam, it takes time to prevent peeping and voyeurism, and it is necessary to reuse it. Had to remove this cover, and had the disadvantage that it was difficult to use the personal computer efficiently.

    It is a problem of the present invention to eliminate these disadvantages.

    To achieve the above object, in the communication camera peep prevention device mounted on the electronic device according to the present invention, in the communication camera mounted on the electronic device, a slide plate member is slidably installed on the electronic device. The sliding plate member is slid to cover the photographing lens of the communication camera or to release the covering.

    In this case, the slide plate member can be attached in front of the photographing lens in the electronic apparatus.

    In addition, the slide plate member can be incorporated when the electronic device is manufactured.

    Since the peep prevention device for a communication camera mounted on the electronic device according to the present invention is configured as described above, that is, in the communication camera mounted on the electronic device, the slide plate member can slide on the electronic device. The sliding plate member can be slid to cover the shooting lens of the communication camera or to release the covering. By operating the sliding plate member installed in the electronic device, The photographing lens of the communication camera can be covered or the cover can be removed.

    Therefore, if you use the peep prevention device for communication cameras installed in this electronic device, you can prevent peeping and voyeurism with a simple operation without putting a cover on the PC, and also when you reuse it Since it is sufficient to slide the slide plate member, it is easy to use the personal computer efficiently.

    In this case, if the slide plate member is attached in front of the photographing lens in the electronic device, the user attaches the slide plate member obtained separately to the personal computer used by the user, And voyeurism can be prevented.

    Further, if the slide plate member is built in at the time of manufacturing the electronic device, the entire apparatus becomes compact and the user does not need to attach this apparatus separately, so that it is easy to use.

    The “electronic device” according to this device corresponds to a personal computer, a mobile phone, and the like.

    The “communication camera” corresponds to a web camera, a portable camera, or the like.

    As the “slide plate member”, a thin film is suitable.

    When the “slide plate member” is attached to a personal computer or the like, it can be fixed or detachable with a hook-and-loop fastener or the like.

    In the case of the “slide plate member is built-in type”, it is to be incorporated integrally when manufacturing the personal computer.

    “Peeping / voyeurism” or the like is that a communication camera such as a personal computer malfunctions due to a virus that has entered the personal computer, etc., and the user's private life is peeped or voyeurized against his intention.

    Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

    1 is a perspective view of a personal computer using a communication camera peep prevention device mounted on an electronic device according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a portion II in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a line III-III in FIG. FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view, and FIG. 4 is a view of another embodiment corresponding to FIG.

    In FIG. 1, 10 is a notebook personal computer (corresponding to the “electronic device” of the present invention), 20 is a keyboard portion thereof, and 30 is a display portion. The keyboard unit 20 and the display unit 30 are connected so as to be foldable. Reference numeral 31 denotes a liquid crystal display of the display unit 30, and 32 denotes the main body frame. Reference numeral 33 denotes a web camera, which is built in the main body frame portion (of the display portion 30) 32, and the photographing lens 34 is exposed at the substantially upper center (see FIG. 3).

    A is a communication camera peep prevention device, which is detachably attached to the main body frame portion (of the display portion 30) 32 by a surface fastener and covers the photographing lens.

    Next, the communication camera peep prevention device A will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

    In the figure, 51 is a sheath-like casing, which is integrally formed with a resin film or the like. This sheath-like casing 51 has a front wall 52 and a rear wall 53, and has a substantially thin plate shape. Reference numerals 55 and 55 denote photographing windows, which are formed on the front wall 52 and the rear wall 53. These photographing windows 55, 55 are positioned so that the entire photographing lens 34 can be seen. Reference numeral 56 denotes an operation window, which is formed on the front wall 52 along the longitudinal direction. The function of this operation window 56 will be described later.

    Reference numeral 60 denotes a film-like slide plate (slide plate member) which is slidably fitted in the photographing lens 34. The slide plate 60 is slid between the front wall 52 and the rear wall 53, and opens and closes the photographing windows 55, 55 to cover the photographing lens 34 or remove the cover. To do. Reference numeral 61 denotes an operation piece, which is integrally formed with the slide plate 60. The operation piece 61 is located in the operation window 56, and the user slides the slide plate 60 left and right by operating the operation piece 61 with a finger.

    If the outer wall surface of the front wall 51 and the surface of the slide plate 60 are mirror surfaces, the surface of the communication camera peep prevention device A can be used as a mirror when the shooting window 55 is closed by the slide plate. However, when the photographing window 55 is opened by the slide plate, the portion of the photographing window 55 does not function as a mirror, so that a sense of incongruity occurs and the open / closed state of the photographing window 55 can be easily determined. it can.

    FIG. 4 shows another embodiment in which a portion corresponding to the sheath casing 51 is integrally formed with the main body frame portion (of the display portion 30) 32. As shown in FIG. If integrally formed in this way, the slide plate 60 can be incorporated at the time of manufacturing a personal computer, and the entire apparatus becomes compact.

    The communication camera peep prevention device mounted on the electronic device according to this device can prevent peeping and voyeurism with a simple operation without putting a cover on the personal computer. Since it is only necessary to slide the members, it is easy to use the personal computer efficiently. Industrial applicability is high.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a personal computer using a communication camera peep prevention device mounted on an electronic apparatus according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a portion II in FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view taken along line III-III in FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram of another embodiment corresponding to FIG.
