Description

  This invention relates to a reversing support in a webcam.

  Conventionally, there is software that enables one-to-one or multiple video and telephone conversations between the person and the other party, such as (not shown for public order and morals violations), via the Internet.

  However, it is possible to understand the display on the other party's face or the whiteboard that is hung or stood on the other party's face through the camera as it is, but it is located at the other party's hand and facing the other party Even if the written material etc. in the state was taken by changing the angle of the camera, the material etc. was taken upside down, and it was very difficult for the person to read.

  At present, there are many online cram schools, such as a cram school that delivers lecture content and a one-on-one complete individual guidance type.

  In addition, lecture delivery type cram schools are intended for a plurality of students, so questions are received by e-mail, chat, etc., and the use of a keyboard makes it difficult for elementary school students.

  On the other hand, there are also one-to-one individual instruction types, such as voice and exchange of characters between dedicated machines such as tablet terminals and dedicated pens, but it is not possible to write problems or figures using dedicated pens This is very complicated, and the dedicated machine itself is also expensive.

  Note that some conventional web cameras have a function in which an arm attached to the camera rotates 360 ° in the horizontal direction. For example, as in Non-Patent Document 1.

  However, with a web camera having such a structure, it is very difficult to read written materials and the like that are directed toward the other party.

  Therefore, this device can be used from the lower grades at an internet school that uses a personal computer, and the person (teacher) can understand in real time the progress of the learning prints at hand of the other party (student) and the correctness / incorrectness. The company intends to develop and provide a webcam with the function of providing guidance and advice.

  In particular, it is a reversing support tool for a web camera, which is very convenient when teaching a class using a web camera in an “Internet school”.

  Means for solving the problem of the present invention is that a supporting device is provided on a web camera mounted on the upper edge of a display of a personal computer, and the web camera is turned upside down on the supporting device. An insertion function is provided and a fixing member for temporarily fixing is provided, or a fixing member having a function of temporarily fixing by rotating the web camera 180 degrees is provided.

  According to this device, the web camera installed on the upper part of the display of the other party's (student) personal computer is reversed and temporarily fixed, or the web camera is rotated 180 ° and temporarily fixed, thereby being positioned on the other party. The material and writing at hand to the other party are reflected in the front direction through the web camera, so that it is easy to read.

  Furthermore, according to this device, when used in combination with existing software such as Skype, there are extremely beneficial effects such as real-time guidance being possible at low cost without using dedicated machines or dedicated software.

One Example of this invention is shown, (A) is a top view, (B) is a front view. It is explanatory drawing which shows the use condition of one Example of this invention. It is explanatory drawing which shows the use condition of this invention. The use state of this device is shown, (A) is an explanatory view showing a normal use state, (B) is an explanatory view showing the use state during a lesson with a webcam, (C) is a print It is explanatory drawing of the state which inverts and uses a webcam for confirmation etc. The other Example of this invention is shown, (A) is a front view, (B) is a right view.

  Hereinafter, this device will be described in detail. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following description, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1A, 1B, 2 and 3. In a web camera provided on a display (Y) of a personal computer (X), the camera body (1) is provided. It is composed of a reversing support in a web camera, characterized in that a fixing member (2) that is reversed in the upward and downward directions and temporarily fixed is provided.

  As an example, the fixing member (2) has insertion grooves (2a) (2a ') formed on the upper and lower portions of the fixing member (2) for fixing the web camera body (1), respectively. These insertion grooves are configured to be inserted into the upper edge of the frame (Z) of the display (Y) of the personal computer (X) and temporarily fixed.

  In use, as shown in FIG. 3, the other party (student) [displayed as an operator] places the personal computer (X) on the desk, opens the personal computer display (Y), and displays the display frame. The insertion groove (2a ′) is inserted into the upper edge of the body (Z), and the person (teacher side) can use the web camera body (1) inserted into the insertion groove (2a ′) The face of the child is confirmed with a video and a class is held.

  In general, software such as Skype is activated and used as shown in FIG. 4A. As an example of the state of use of this device, as shown in FIG. X) is provided obliquely, and the insertion groove (2a ') of the fixing member (2) is inserted into the frame (Z) on the upper edge of the display (Y) of the personal computer. It is used for taking classes while checking each other's faces and checking the contents. (The person shown in the drawing is the other party.)

  Next, when performing printing or problem collection, as shown in FIG. 4C, the web camera body (1) is inverted and replaced with another insertion groove (2a) of the fixing member (2). The camera body (1) is pointed downward and the camera body (1) is set downward so that a print can be seen. Learning is performed while receiving guidance and advice from the teacher.

  In this way, the teacher can confirm the progress status, can provide guidance in real time, and can receive guidance from the generation and voice from the student.

  Further, another embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 5. In the webcam, a fixing member (2 ') for temporarily fixing the camera body (1) is provided, and the fixing member is provided at a lower portion. An insertion groove (2a ') is provided, and a cylindrical member (4) for housing the camera body is provided via a pivot shaft (3), and the camera body (1) is placed on the periphery of the cylindrical member. The camera body is composed of a reversing support in a web camera in which the camera body is provided with temporary fixing screws (2b) (2b ') while being rotated 180 ° downward.

  The specific structure of the present invention will be described. The insertion groove (2a ') of the fixing member (2') for temporarily fixing the web camera body (1) is used as the frame of the display (Y) of the personal computer (X). (Z) Inserted into the upper edge, temporarily fixed, then the camera body (1) located inside the cylindrical member (4) provided on the fixing member (2) is The camera body (1) is temporarily fixed with temporary fixing screws (2b) (2b ') in a state where it is rotated 180 degrees downward.

  In addition, even if the reversing support tool of this invention is formed integrally with the web camera body (1), the web camera body (1) is attached separately to the reversing support tool shown in each embodiment. There may be.

  According to this device, there is an industrial applicability by establishing, implementing and selling the technology of the reversing support tool in the webcam.
