Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for enlarging a visual field of work in precision work, a one-man control recording apparatus, and an apparatus for giving visual and audio instructions to an operator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an optical magnifying glass apparatus has a fixed focal point, and it is required to maintain a constant distance between a work site and a head position according to a fixed focal length.

When an optical magnifying device having a high magnification is used, a magnified image of a work site occupies the whole or most of the visual field, and a machine tool or a finger or the like is moved by a lip or the like like a dental oral region. When it is impossible to directly reach the work site, it has been difficult to remove or avoid obstacles while visually confirming the obstacles.

In order for an operator to photograph and record a work site while using both hands by himself, it is necessary to fix the camera using a tripod or the like or to have a third party hold the camera. .

Further, when an attempt is made to photograph and record an adjacent work site in the same field of view as the worker's field of view, the worker's head or the like may interfere with the photographing, or the camera body may be moved by the operator. In the case where the visual field is obstructed and the visual field direction is limited, particularly in the case of a dental oral region, it is difficult to take an image of a record without interrupting surgery, treatment and the like.

In addition, when the instructor attempts to visually give an instruction to the worker, it is necessary to point to the work object using a pointing stick or the like near the worker and give the verbal instruction. In addition, in a state where the worker gazes at the work field from a remote place, and when the target is a human, the instructor gives a visual instruction and a voice in the worker's visual field without being known by a third party or a patient. It was impossible to give the instructions by.

[0007]

The problem to be solved is to automatically secure an arbitrary enlargement ratio regardless of the enlargement ratio and the distance between the worker's head and the work site.

When working at a high magnification, the center of the field of view is set to a high magnification, and the fields of view other than the center are displayed at the same magnification or at a low magnification.

In the case where the worker himself / herself records information of the same work view image as the worker during work using both hands, the freedom of both hands of the worker is ensured.

[0010] In a state where the worker gazes at the work site, the instructor directly and visually instructs the worker's visual field monitor without the worker instructing the worker from a remote place by a third party. It is intended to give voice instructions.

[0011]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made to achieve the above object, and a first invention is to provide a spectacle-type monitor and a center of a left and right pupil of a wearer in front of the spectacle-type monitor. This is an apparatus equipped with an auto-focus CCD camera equipped with a zoom lens attached to the naked eye viewing direction from a corresponding position.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, information input from an auto-focus CCD camera equipped with a zoom lens mounted on a spectacle type monitor is fractionated by image processing, and an enlarged portion is centered.
This device displays the field of view other than the enlarged portion at the same magnification or at a low magnification on the spectacle type monitor and the remote monitor.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, by writing and displaying by image processing on a wired or wirelessly connected remote monitor so as to obtain the same screen as the spectacle-type monitor, the spectacle-type monitor is visually displayed. A device that displays an instruction image and gives an instruction by voice using an earphone microphone or the like in a wired or wireless manner.
