It is characterized by displaying on an external video device.

In this case, the image displayed on the external image device through the image device output unit at a specific time and the image displayed on the internal monitor through the built-in monitor output unit may be different.

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

1 is a block diagram of an actual imager according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, a real imager according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a lens unit 10, an imaging unit 20, an analog / digital conversion unit 30, an image signal processing unit 40, and a memory unit 50. , A video device output unit 60, a liquid crystal monitor output unit 70, a control unit 80, and an operation unit 90.

The lens unit 10 forms an image, and the imaging unit 20 converts the formed image into a corresponding electric image signal and outputs the image.

The analog / digital converter 30 converts the analog video signal output from the imaging unit 20 into a digital video signal.

The image signal processor 40 converts the digital image signal converted by the analog / digital converter 30 into a usable state and then performs signal processing for image output.

The memory unit 50 stores image data processed by the image signal processing unit 40 and output, and stores image data corresponding to at least one image.

The video device output unit 60 converts the video data stored in the memory unit 50 into data that can be output as a corresponding video from an external video device, and outputs the converted data.

The video device output unit 60 includes a monitor output unit 610 for converting the image data that can be output from the computer monitor 100 or the like, and a television output unit 620 for converting the image data that can be output from the television 110 or the like. However, the technical scope of the present patent is not limited thereto, and may include an image device such as a liquid crystal projector.

The liquid crystal monitor output unit 70 converts the image data stored in the memory unit 50 into data that can be output as a corresponding image from the liquid crystal monitor 120 mounted on the real imager.

The controller 80 controls the image signal processor 40, the memory unit 50, the video device output unit 60, and the liquid crystal monitor output unit 70.

The operation unit 90 is a device that is manually operated by a user and transmits a selected state to the control unit 80. As shown in FIG. 2, an up key 910, a down key 920, and a selection key 930 are provided. ), But additional keys may be added for use.

The user may change an image displayed on the LCD monitor, that is, image data stored in the memory unit 50, through the operation unit 90, and also search for a desired image.

Hereinafter, the operation of the real imager according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

First, when power required for the operation of each device is supplied, the operation of each corresponding device is started.

When the user puts the real object on the real imager and operates the real imager, the image of the real image is formed by the lens unit 10, and the analog electric image signal corresponding to the image formed by the imaging unit 20 is output. The analog / digital converter 30 converts the digital video signal into a corresponding digital video signal and inputs the same to the image signal processor 40.

The image signal processor 40 processes a video signal input from the analog / digital converter 30 in a usable state according to a control operation of the controller 80, and transmits the signal processed image data to the memory unit 50. Save it.

On the other hand, information about an external video device connected to the real imager is stored in a memory (not shown) that stores environment information, etc., and the controller 80 transmits the information to the liquid crystal monitor through the liquid crystal monitor output unit 70. 120).

The user may select an external imager to output a real image using the operation unit 90 according to the external imager information displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 120.

When the user selects the external image device through the operation unit 90, the controller 80 outputs the image device so that image data corresponding to the currently captured real image stored in the memory unit 50 can be output to the selected external image device. The state of the corresponding output part of the part 60 is made into an operable state.

For example, a computer monitor 100 and a television 110 are external video devices connected to a real imager, and a user presses the up key 910, the down key 920, or the select key 930 of the operation unit 90. When the computer monitor 100 is selected through the control unit 80, the control unit 80 makes the state of the monitor output unit 610 of the video device output unit 60 operable and simultaneously changes the state of the television output unit 620. Make the operation impossible.

Meanwhile, the user may output an image corresponding to the real image to all external image apparatuses connected to the real imager through the operation unit 90. This will be readily understood by those skilled in the art with reference to the above.

If the computer monitor 120 is selected as an image output device by the user and the monitor output unit 610 is in an operable state, the controller 80 controls the image data corresponding to the current real image stored in the memory unit 50. The memory unit 50 is controlled to output the monitor output unit 610. In this case, the image data output from the memory unit 50 may be simultaneously output to the liquid crystal monitor output unit 70.

The monitor output unit 610 receives image data output from the memory unit 50 and converts the image data into image data that can be displayed on the computer monitor 100 and outputs the image data to the computer monitor 100. The computer monitor 100 outputs the monitor. The image corresponding to the image data output from the unit 610 is output for the user to see. At this time, the same image is simultaneously output to the liquid crystal monitor 120 through the liquid crystal monitor output unit 70.

In this way, the real imager displays the real image so that the user can view it on the computer monitor 100 or the television 110, and also on the liquid crystal monitor 120 so that the user can see the real image even when the external image device is not mounted. You can see the video output.

On the other hand, if the user needs to output images corresponding to a plurality of real objects, for example, multiple originals, etc. instead of a single real object, the user captures a single real object through a real imager and performs the memory unit 50 through the above process. ) As the corresponding image data, and then stores the next real object as the corresponding image data in the memory unit 50 through the same process. In the same manner, the image data corresponding to the memory unit 50 may be stored for the remaining real objects.

At this time, since the operation of storing various images is different from the operation of storing one real object, the multi-storage execution mode may be previously designated by the user through the information displayed on the operation unit 90 and the LCD monitor 120. have.

Therefore, when the user selects the multi-storage execution mode through the operation unit 90, image data corresponding to various real items are sequentially or randomly stored in the memory unit 50. Of course, since the image data to be stored is determined according to the capacity of the memory unit 50, the number of real objects corresponding thereto is also determined.

As such, when a plurality of real image data are stored in the memory unit 50, the user operates the up key 910 or the down key 920 of the operation unit 90, and the controller 80 controls the keys of the operation unit 90. Image data output from the memory unit 50 may be changed according to selections (910, 920). That is, the controller 80 changes the address of the memory 80 and outputs the image data output from the memory 50. The output image data is displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 120 through the liquid crystal monitor output unit 70, and the user searches for a desired image while viewing the image displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 120.

At this time, the external image device, in the above embodiment, the real image currently being captured is displayed on the computer monitor 100. That is, since the image data output from the memory unit 50 to the monitor output unit 610 is image data currently being captured by the imaging unit 20, what the user can see through the computer monitor 100 is currently captured. It is an image of the real thing. On the other hand, since the image displayed through the liquid crystal monitor 120 displays one image among various image data stored in the memory unit 50 selected by the user's manipulation unit 90, the external image device, that is, a computer monitor. The image displayed on the 100 and the liquid crystal monitor 120 may be different. Of course, the image displayed on the computer monitor 100 may also be displayed in the same way as the image displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 120, but since it is for a user search, another image is displayed in the present embodiment.

On the other hand, when the user sequentially searches for a plurality of images on the LCD monitor 120 using the operation unit 90, and the desired image is displayed, the user presses the selection key 930 of the operation unit 90 to select the corresponding image. In addition, the controller 80 controls the memory unit 50 according to a user's selection so that the image data corresponding to the selected image is output from the memory unit 50 to the monitor output unit 610. Therefore, the image selected by the user is also displayed on the computer monitor 100 through the monitor output unit 610.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the most practical and preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above disclosed embodiments, but also includes various modifications and equivalents within the scope of the following claims.

According to the present invention, even if an external video device is not connected, an image corresponding to the real image can be viewed, an image corresponding to a plurality of real images can be stored, and an image desired by a user can be searched among the stored images.
