  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, an effect mirror system including a mirror device that can display a video effect and a brush with a transmitter that is a dedicated makeup tool for displaying the video effect on the mirror device will be described as an example.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the entire system according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the effect mirror system 1 according to the present embodiment includes a mirror device 10 and a brush 20 with a transmitter. As shown in FIG. 1, the mirror device 10 is configured by arranging a half mirror 11 on the front surface of a box-shaped housing. The brush 20 with a transmitter is a dedicated makeup tool for displaying a video effect in the mirror device according to the present embodiment, and the mirror device 10 detects the position of the brush 20 with a transmitter by detecting the position. Display the effect according to.

  The half mirror 11 is a transflective optical component that reflects part of incident light and transmits part of it. For this reason, the half mirror 11 functions as a mirror if the back side of the surface to be viewed is dark, and functions as a transparent substrate if the back side is bright. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the inside of the mirror device 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the back side of the surface on which the half mirror 11 is provided is hollow, and no illumination is provided inside. Therefore, the half mirror 11 functions as a normal mirror when viewed from the outside of the mirror device 10. Thereby, the user can make up with the brush 20 with a transmitter, using the half mirror 11 as a mirror.

As shown in FIG. 2, on the back side of the half mirror 11, there is an LCD (Luiquid).
(Crystal Display) 12 is provided. The LCD 12 is a display device arranged such that its display surface faces the back surface of the half mirror 11. The LCD 12 is a display device that displays video effects.

  In order to make the half mirror 11 function as much as a normal mirror as much as possible, it is preferable that the inside of the casing of the mirror device 10 other than the LCD 12 be a light color such as black. Further, it is preferable that the LCD 12 displays a low-lightness color such as black except for the display portion that displays the video effect. In this embodiment, an LCD is used as the display device, but other display devices such as an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display may be used.

Here, with reference to FIG. 3, the optical principle of the mirror device 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a positional relationship between the half mirror 11 and the LCD 12 in a state where the mirror device 10 is viewed from the side, and a path of light with a broken line. As shown in FIG. 3 , a part of the light that is reflected by the face of the user facing the half mirror 11 from the outside of the mirror device 10 and reaches the half mirror 11 is reflected by the half mirror 11. A mirror image of the face appears.

  Since the inside of the housing of the mirror device 10 is in a dark state without illumination, when the half mirror 11 is viewed from the outside, the user can only see the light reflected by the surface of the half mirror 11, and as a result The half mirror 11 functions as an ordinary mirror.

  On the other hand, when an image is displayed on the LCD 12, the light of the image reaches the half mirror 11 from the back side. In this case, part of the light of the image displayed on the LCD 12 is transmitted through the half mirror 11 and reaches the eyes of the user viewing the mirror device 10 from the outside. As a result, the user who is viewing the mirror device 10 from the outside can visually recognize the mirror image of the mirror device 10 reflected on the half mirror 11 and the image displayed on the LCD 12.

  The mirror device according to the present embodiment uses the optical principle as shown in FIG. 3, and displays a video effect according to the movement of the brush 20 with a transmitter when the user puts on makeup, thereby making the makeup user It is possible to provide fun to the user.

Next, the video effect according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4A is a diagram showing only a mirror image of the user reflected on the half mirror 11. As shown in FIG. 4 (a), when the user of the cosmetic by transmitter brushed 20, the half mirror 11, a mirror image of the user that makeup the transmitter brushed 20 reflected.

  On the other hand, the mirror device 20 has a function of detecting the position of the brush 20 with the transmitter and the movement of the brush 20 with the transmitter. When the movement is detected, the LCD 12 corresponds to the position of the brush 20 with the transmitter. The video effect as shown in FIG. 4B is displayed. FIG. 4B shows an example in which a video pattern in which a star flows in accordance with the movement of the brush 20 with a transmitter is displayed as an effect.

  In such a case, an image as shown in FIG. 4C is visually recognized by the user through the half mirror 11 according to the optical principle described in FIG. That is, the effect displayed by the LCD 12 is reflected in the mirror image of the confidence reflected by the half mirror 11, and it is visually recognized as if a star is flowing according to the movement of the brush 20 with the transmitter. The gist of the present embodiment is to enable such a video effect.

  In order to easily realize the superposition of images as shown in FIG. 4C, the range of the semi-transmissive portion of the half mirror 11 and the range of the display surface of the LCD 12 are configured with substantially the same shape. It is preferable that they are arranged so as to overlap each other in a direction perpendicular to the respective surfaces. As a result, the video pattern displayed on the display surface of the LCD 12 is transferred to the semi-transmissive surface of the half mirror 11 as it is, so that it is not necessary to perform image processing for complicated alignment.

  For example, the effect can be displayed around the user's face in the vertical and horizontal positions on the screen by combining the effect with an image obtained by photographing the user's face with the camera and displaying the effect on the display device. However, in this case, the displayed effect is visible only as it is displayed on the surface of the screen, and there is no reality.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the half mirror 11 and the LCD 12 are arranged with a predetermined separation. Therefore, when the synthesized image as shown in FIG. 4C is visually recognized by the user, the image effect is visually recognized not in the surface of the half mirror 11 but in the back thereof. Therefore, not only the vertical and horizontal positions of the half mirror 11 but also the depth, it is possible for the user to visually recognize that the effect is generated around his / her face reflected as a mirror image, and the user has a more realistic effect. Can be visually recognized.

  Therefore, even if the LCD 12 is arranged on the back surface of the half mirror 11 without a space, a display in which the effect as shown in FIG. 4C is synthesized is possible, but the above-described reality video is provided. In order to realize the effect, it is preferable that the half mirror 11 and the LCD 12 are arranged apart from each other.

  Next, a functional configuration of the mirror device 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the mirror device 10 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, as shown in FIG. 5, the mirror device 10 according to this embodiment detects the transmission of the brush 20 with a transmitter in addition to the above-described half mirror 11 and LCD 12 and outputs a detection signal. And a controller 100 that controls the video effect displayed on the LCD 12 in accordance with the detection result of the sensor 13.

  The controller 100 is configured by a combination of software and hardware, and controls the mirror device 10. As shown in FIG. 5, the controller 100 includes a sensor control unit 101, a position calculation unit 102, a motion detection unit 103, a display control unit 104, and an LCD drive unit 105.

  The sensor control unit 101 acquires the detection signal of the sensor 13 and inputs it to the position calculation unit 102 as digital information. Specific examples of the sensor 13 and the sensor control unit 101 will be described in detail later. The position calculation unit 102 calculates the position of the brush 20 with a transmitter based on information input from the sensor control unit 101 (hereinafter referred to as “sensor information”). The position of the brush 20 with a transmitter calculated here is a position on the surface of the half mirror 11 and is a coordinate on the display surface of the LCD 12.

  The sensor control unit 101 acquires a detection signal of the sensor 13 at predetermined intervals and inputs sensor information to the position calculation unit 102. And the position calculation part 102 calculates the position of the brush 20 with a transmitter, whenever sensor information is input, and inputs a calculation result into the motion detection part 103 each time. The motion detection unit 103 detects the movement of the transmitter brush 20 based on the calculation result input at predetermined intervals from the position calculation unit 102.

  In order to display the effect according to the makeup operation as described in FIGS. 4A to 4C, it is not sufficient to detect the position of the brush 20 with the transmitter, and makeup is performed. Therefore, it is necessary to detect that the brush 20 with a transmitter is moving. The motion detection unit 102 compares the calculation results that are continuously input, that is, the position of the brush 20 with the transmitter, and detects the movement of the brush 20 with the transmitter when the position difference exceeds a predetermined threshold. To do.

  When the motion detection unit 103 detects the movement of the brush 20 with a transmitter, the motion detection unit 103 detects information about the motion (hereinafter referred to as “motion detection information”) and the position of the brush 20 with a transmitter (hereinafter “detection position”). Information ”) is input to the display control unit 104. When the motion detection information and the detection position information are input from the motion detection unit 103, the display control unit 104 displays the position indicated by the detection position information, that is, the coordinates on the display surface of the LCD 12, as shown in FIG. Display information for displaying a video pattern effect is generated, and the LCD drive unit 105 is controlled to display the information on the LCD 12.

  Note that the display control unit 104 controls the LCD driving unit 105 so that the LCD 12 displays a low-brightness color such as black during normal times so that the half mirror 11 functions in the same manner as a normal mirror as described above. At the same time, when the effect is displayed, the LCD drive unit 105 is driven so that a portion other than the display portion displays a low-lightness color such as black.

  The LCD drive unit 105 is a driver that drives the LCD 12 and displays an effect as shown in FIG. 4B on the LCD 12 according to the control of the display control unit 104. By such control, the effect as shown in FIG. 4B is displayed on the LCD 12, and the display of the half mirror 11 as shown in FIG. 4C can be obtained.

  The functions of the controller 100 shown in FIG. 5 are realized by a combination of software and hardware as described above. With reference to FIG. 6, the hardware configuration of the controller 100 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the controller 100 of the mirror device 10 according to the present embodiment includes the same configuration as a general server, a PC (Personal Computer), or the like. That is, in the controller 100 according to the present embodiment, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 110, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 120, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 130, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) 140, and an I / F 150 are connected to the bus 160. Connected through.

  The CPU 110 is a calculation unit and controls the operation of the entire controller 100. The RAM 120 is a volatile storage medium capable of reading and writing information at high speed, and is used as a work area when the CPU 110 processes information. The ROM 130 is a read-only nonvolatile storage medium, and stores programs such as firmware.

  The HDD 140 is a non-volatile storage medium that can read and write information, and stores an OS (Operating System), various control programs, application programs, and the like. The I / F 150 connects and controls the bus 160 and various hardware and networks. In the mirror device 10, the LCD 12 and the sensor 13 are connected via an I / F 150.

  In such a hardware configuration, a program stored in a storage medium such as the ROM 130, the HDD 140, or an optical disk (not shown) is read into the RAM 120, and the CPU 110 performs calculations according to those programs, thereby configuring the software control unit. The A functional block that realizes the function of the controller 100 according to the present embodiment is configured by a combination of the software control unit configured as described above and hardware.

  Next, the operation of the controller 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, when the controller 100 starts operation, the sensor control unit 101 starts acquiring the output of the sensor 13 (S701). The position calculation unit 102 that has acquired the sensor information via the sensor control unit 101 calculates the position of the brush 20 with a transmitter based on the sensor information (S702), and inputs the calculation result to the motion detection unit 103.

  The motion detection unit 103 detects the motion of the brush 20 with the transmitter by comparing the calculation results that are continuously input and comparing the difference in position of the brush 20 with the transmitter with a predetermined threshold value ( S703). If the movement of the brush with the transmitter 20 is not detected (S703 / NO), the controller 100 repeats the processing from S701 to S703. In other words, the process of S703 is a process of detecting the action of the user facing the half mirror 11.

  When the movement of the brush 20 with the transmitter is detected (S703 / YES), the motion detection unit 103 inputs the motion detection information and the detection position information to the display control unit 104. Thereby, the display control unit 104 generates display information for displaying the effect as shown in FIG. 4B on the coordinates on the screen of the LCD 12 indicated by the detected position information (S704), and the LCD driving unit 105 is controlled to control the display on the LCD 12 (S705).

  As shown in FIG. 4C, the controller 100 repeats the operation as shown in FIG. 7 so that the brush 20 with the transmitter 20 moves according to the movement of the makeup while the user is doing makeup. It is possible to generate interesting effects and provide fun to users who make up.

Next, specific examples of the sensor 13 and the sensor control unit 101 will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example in the case of using three-point positioning. In the case of the example in FIG. 8, a transmitter 21 is embedded in the brush 20 with a transmitter. Sensors 13 a to 13 c that detect radio waves emitted from the transmitter 21 are provided at at least three of the four corners of the half mirror 11.

  When the radio waves transmitted from the transmitter 21 are detected by the sensors 13 a to 13 c arranged in this way, the sensors 13 a to 13 c output signals having an intensity corresponding to the distance from the transmitter 21. Then, the sensor control unit 101 acquires signals with different intensities output from the sensors 13a to 13c, respectively, and the position calculation unit 102 calculates the position of the transmitter 21 based on the principle of three-point positioning. As shown in FIG. 4, the position obtained by projecting the position in the space of the brush 20 with the transmitter in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the half mirror 11 can be calculated.

  As the transmitter 21 and the sensors 13a to 13c, various types of electromagnetic wave transmission and detection mechanisms can be used, and for example, RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) or the like can be used. In the present embodiment, a brush is used as an example of a makeup tool, and the case where the position of the brush 20 with a transmitter is detected has been described. However, the transmitter 21 is not limited to a brush, such as a lipstick, a brush, or a buller. An embedded makeup tool can be realized as well.

  Further, not only electromagnetic waves but also ultrasonic transmission and detection mechanisms can be used. In this case, the sensor control unit 101 inputs information indicating the timing at which each of the sensors 13a to 13c detects the ultrasonic wave to the position calculation unit 102 as sensor information. And the position calculation part 102 calculates the position of the brush 20 with a transmitter according to the difference in the detection timing of the ultrasonic wave in each sensor 13a-13c by the principle of three-point positioning similarly to the above.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example in which image processing is used as a detection mechanism of the brush 20 with a transmitter by the sensor 13. In the case of the example in FIG. 10, it is not necessary to use the brush 20 with a transmitter, and a makeup tool such as an ordinary makeup brush can be used. However, the image of the makeup tool used in the mirror device 10 needs to be stored in the position information calculation unit 102 in advance.

  In the mirror device 10 according to the example of FIG. 10, a camera 13 is installed in a space between the half mirror 11 and the LCD 12. The camera 13 is an imaging device that captures an image in front of the half mirror 11 (hereinafter referred to as “front image”) and outputs the image at a predetermined frame rate. Thereby, the sensor control unit 101 acquires an image in front of the half mirror 11 at a predetermined frame rate and inputs the acquired image to the position calculation unit 102.

  The range imaged by the camera 13 is preferably aligned with the range of the semi-transmissive surface of the half mirror 11. Thereby, the position detected based on the image picked up by the camera 13 corresponds to the position on the semi-transmissive surface of the half mirror 11. As described above, since the range of the semi-transmissive surface of the half mirror 11 and the range of the display surface of the LCD 12 are aligned, the display on the LCD 12 is performed according to the position detected based on the image captured by the camera 13. By displaying the video pattern on the surface, the video pattern can be displayed at a suitable position on the semi-transmissive surface of the half mirror 11.

  When the position calculation unit 102 obtains the front image from the sensor control unit 101, the position calculation unit 102 searches for the image in the front image based on the image of the makeup tool stored in advance as described above, and the makeup tool in which the image is registered in advance. Is included in the front image. In this image search process, an existing image search technique can be used.

  The position calculation unit 102 performs the above-described image search for each front image input at a predetermined frame rate. When a pre-registered makeup tool is extracted from the front image, the position calculation unit 102 extracts the makeup tool on the extracted front image. Is input to the motion detection unit 103. Thereby, position detection and motion detection can be performed in the same manner as described above.

  As described above, according to the mirror device 10 according to the present embodiment, when the user performs makeup using the mirror device 10 as a mirror, the video effect corresponding to the movement of the makeup is superimposed on the mirror image to the user. It is possible to provide a mirror device that can be visually recognized and displays a video effect according to the user's operation.

  In addition, in the said embodiment, when using the brush 20 with a transmitter, the case where the brush with which the transmitter 21 was embedded as shown in FIG. 8 was used was demonstrated as an example. In this case, the user cannot use the makeup tool that the user uses regularly. As shown in FIG. 11, such a problem can be solved by covering a cover 22 in which the transmitter 21 is embedded with a normal makeup brush.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, it demonstrated as an example that the motion detection part 103 judges the display timing of a video effect by detecting the motion of a makeup | decoration tool. In addition, various factors can be used as the display timing of the video effect. For example, when applying makeup using a brush, the user may move the brush according to a certain pattern. Therefore, it is possible to determine the display timing of the video effect in the controller 100 by mounting a motion sensor or acceleration sensor on the brush side and outputting a detection signal when this pattern is detected. The position detection is the same as in the above embodiment.

  In addition, when applying makeup using a brush, it is conceivable that pressure is applied between the hair portion of the brush and the handle portion of the brush when the brush contacts the face. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12, the pressure sensor 23 for detecting the pressure between the bristle portion and the handle portion of the brush is provided on the brush side, and a detection signal is output when the pressure is detected. The controller 100 can determine the display timing of the video effect. The position detection is the same as in the above embodiment.

  As described above, various makeup tools can be used as well as the brush. Therefore, by changing the content of the video effect according to the type of makeup tool, it is possible to provide a video effect that is more enjoyable for the user. Such an aspect can be realized, for example, by changing the frequency of the electromagnetic wave transmitted from the transmitter 21 for each type of makeup tool and changing the content of the video effect in the controller 100 according to the frequency of the electromagnetic wave.

  When RFID is used as the mechanism of the transmitter 21 and the sensor 13, the controller 100 changes the ID information stored in an IC (Integrated Circuit) tag serving as the transmitter 21 for each type of makeup tool. In, it is possible to determine the content of the video effect based on the ID information.

  Further, when image search is used as described in FIG. 10, the position detection unit 102 stores an image for each makeup tool, and therefore the controller 100 responds to the image extracted by the image search. Thus, it is possible to determine the content of the video effect.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the case where the image effect was visually recognized with respect to the user who makes up using the mirror apparatus 10 was demonstrated as an example, this is an example and it is with respect to the user who uses the mirror apparatus 10 as a mirror. In the case where the video effect is displayed, it can be used similarly. That is, the gist of the present embodiment is that the user's action is detected based on the detection signal of the sensor 13 and the video effect is displayed at a position on the screen of the LCD 12 corresponding to the position where the user's action is detected. In other words, the mirror image of the user reflected by the half mirror and the video effect displayed by the LCD 12 are overlapped to make the user visually recognize.

  For example, by using the camera described with reference to FIG. 10, the face of the user facing the half mirror 11 is recognized, and the eyes of the recognized face images are compared at a predetermined frame rate. Can detect that the user has closed his eyes. When the controller 100 detects that the user has opened his eyes again in a short period of time after closing his eyes, the controller 100 determines that the user has winked and displays the video effect at the position of the user's eyes. Thus, it is possible to display an image that will entertain the user.

  In addition, as a detection function configured by the sensor 13, the sensor control unit 101, the position calculation unit 102, and the motion detection unit 103, by providing a motion sensor function for detecting the movement of the user facing the half mirror 11, for example, a user When a predetermined choreography is performed, the display on the LCD 12 can be controlled so that a predetermined video effect is displayed.

  In such an aspect, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, the motion detection unit 103 includes a motion ID for identifying choreography detected by the motion sensor function and an effect ID for identifying a video effect to be displayed on the LCD 12. It is made possible by notifying the display control unit 104 of the effect ID of the video effect associated with the choreography detected by the motion sensor function and the information on the position where the user is detected.

  The function of the motion sensor described above uses an infrared sensor that can detect the range in front of the half mirror 11 as the sensor 13, and functions to analyze the information acquired by the infrared sensor 13 in time series with the position calculator 102 and the motion This is possible by mounting on the detection unit 103. Further, a transmitter is attached to each part of the user's body facing the half mirror 11, and the position of each transmitter is time-sequentially in the same manner as in FIGS. 8 and 9 based on the signal transmitted by each transmitter. It is also possible to calculate by

  In such a case, the sensor 13 is a sensor that outputs a detection signal corresponding to the action of the user facing the half mirror 11. In addition, even if it is a case where the brush 20 with a transmitter is detected, it does not change in outputting the detection signal according to a user's action.
