Abstract

The present invention is an apparatus for matching the line of sight between the communication parties in the video communication using the image camera. In the existing technology, a camera is installed on a monitor, and a communication operator cannot see the camera while performing a video communication while looking at the monitor, so that the gaze of the communication counterpart cannot be matched. The present invention solves the disagreement of the line of sight by placing the image camera in the center of the monitor, the seeker communicator, the monitor and the camera are almost in a straight line.

Description

Eye-matching video camera device {EYE-CONTACT WEB CAMERA}

The present invention relates to an image communication apparatus using an image camera, and in particular, to improve the problems of the apparatus used for the monitor for a personal computer.

Video communication is a technology that enables video communication between two remote computers by simultaneously transmitting video and audio through communication networks. However, in the existing technology, when the camera is installed on the side or the side of the monitor to look at the other party's face, the user cannot see the camera's eyes in front of each other and cannot see each other's eyes. have.

Conventional video communication devices did not realize that they were having a conversation because they could not face each other's faces and eyes. This design solves the problem of gaze disparity of existing devices and allows them to communicate with each other by looking at each other's eyes, though it is intended to increase the realism and psychological stability as if they are actually talking through remote communication networks.

For the gaze matching effect, the communicator 7 and the counterpart image 4 and the image camera 3 on the monitor 5 screen 6 should be placed in a straight line. To this end, the video camera device includes an attachment (1) for attaching the camera on or under the monitor, a support (2) for connecting and supporting the attachment and the camera, and a small video camera (3). As a result, the camera is positioned next to the counterpart image 4 on the monitor 5 screen 6 so that the video camera 3 simultaneously communicates with the communicator 7 even if the communicator 7 sees the counterpart image 4. It is possible to photograph almost the front of the camera, so in reality both parties will have the feeling of talking face to face with each other.

The support 2 moves clockwise and counterclockwise about the attachment 1 (A), and can also be adjusted (B) to lengthen or shorten the length so that the camera 3 can be adjusted according to the position of the counterpart image 4. It is made to be able to change the position of).

In addition, by using the air compression attacher 8, the image camera 3 is directly attached to the monitor 5 screen 6 using the air compression attacher 8 (FIG. 3), or the stand-type bendable holder 9 is attached to the camera. It is also possible to connect and use the camera by placing the camera on the floor (Fig. 4).

By visually matching the visual communication, it gives a feeling of real conversation in the remote place and enhances the psychological stability.

Claims (3)

Fix the attachment (1) to the upper part of the monitor (5) with adhesive tape or the like, and attach the fixing screw to one part of the attachment (1), and the fixing screw connects and supports the attachment (1) and the support (2). At the same time, move the clockwise and counterclockwise direction (A) around the fixing screw, or adjust the length of the support shorter or longer (B) so that the image camera (3) mounted at the end of the support (2) is By placing it next to the counterpart image 4 on the monitor 5 screen 6, even if the communicator 7 is viewing the counterpart image 4, the image camera 3 is almost in front of the communicator 7 at the same time. Eye-view video camera device designed to match each other's gaze by actually allowing both communicators to have an eye-to-eye conversation. An air compression attacher 8 is mounted on the rear side of the image camera 3 so that the image camera 3 is fixed on the monitor screen 6 so that the image of the other side 4 on the monitor 6 screen 6 is next to the other side. Even if the communicator 7 sees the other party's image 4, the image camera 3 can take a picture almost in front of the communicator 7, so that both communicators face each other and talk. Eye-matching video camera device designed to match the gaze between communication operators The image camera 3 is fixed on the monitor screen 6 by mounting the stand type bendable holder 9 at the bottom of the image camera 3 to position the image camera 3 on the monitor screen 6. By placing it next to the counterpart image 4 on the monitor 5 screen 6, even if the communicator 7 is viewing the counterpart image 4, the image camera 3 is almost in front of the communicator 7 at the same time. Eye-view video camera device designed to match each other's gaze by actually allowing both communicators to have an eye-to-eye conversation.
