In addition, embodiments of the present invention will be described below, but the technical idea of the present invention is not limited thereto and can be variously modified by those skilled in the art.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a photographing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view showing a shape in which a photographing section is fired in the photographing apparatus of FIG.

1 and 2, the photographing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 120 and a projectile 140. [ The projectile 140 may be mounted on a mounting groove RHM formed on the upper surface of the main body 120.

The mounting groove RHM of the main body 120 may be formed in a shape corresponding to the shape of the projectile 140 so that the projectile 140 can be mounted. For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the projectile 140 is formed into an egg shape, the mounting groove RHM is equal to the diameter at the first point PO1 of the egg-shaped projectile 140 The upper surface of the circular shape with a slightly larger diameter and the groove having the same shape as the shape from the first point PO1 to the second point PO2 of the projectile 140. [ The shapes of the body 120 and the projectile 140 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are illustrative, and various shapes can be used according to the embodiment to which the present invention is applied. For example, the projectile 140 may be embodied as a bullet shape in which the upper surface and the side surface are realized in a streamline shape, but the lower surface is realized in a circle. In this case, the bottom surface of the mounting groove RHM may also be formed in a circular shape, and the main body 120 may be realized in any shape that is easy for the user to hold.

The lower surface of the mounting groove RHM may be formed of an elastic body such as a spring SPR. In this case, when the projectile 140 is mounted, the spring SPR is compressed. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The spring SPR may be formed over the lower surface and the side surface of the mounting groove RHM.

The main body 120 includes a launch button BUT. When the user presses the launch button BUT, the projectile 140 is fired away from the mounting groove RHM of the main body 120. For example, the launch button BUT is connected to one end of the spring SPR of the mounting groove RHM, and when a pressure is applied to the launch button BUT, the corresponding pressure is applied to the spring SPR, The spring SPR that has been compressed by the attachment of the spring SPR is restored to its original state by elasticity. That is, the projectile 140 is fired by the elasticity of the spring SPR.

The main body 120 and the projectile 140 may be connected by a connecting line 160. Specifically, the connection line 160 can be connected to the second point PO2 of the projectile 140 from the lower surface or the arbitrary point SPA of the mounting groove RHM of the main body 120. The connection line 160 may be free or non-elastic.

The projectile 140 may include a housing HUS, a photographing unit IMU, a memory MEM, and a dropping unit FAU. The housing HUS of the projectile 140 can be realized as a material that can mitigate the shock that the projectile 140 may receive when the projectile 140 finishes the falling motion and hits the ground. For example, at least a part of the housing (HUS) may be formed of a material such as a sponge, or may be formed of an elastic body. The photographing unit IMU is mounted on the housing HUS and performs photographing. The imaging unit (IMU) can be implemented as an ultra-small camera.

The memory MEM stores an image captured by the photographing unit IMU. The memory MEM may be mounted in a groove formed in the housing HUS. Various memories (MEMs) may be used according to embodiments to which the present invention is applied. For example, the memory MEM may be an SD memory, a micro SD memory, an SRAM, a USB memory, and the like. When a USB memory is used, a USB connector is provided in the housing (HUS), and a USB memory can be mounted in the USB connector.

According to the embodiment, the projectile 140 may not have the memory MEM. In this case, a wireless communication controller is provided in the housing (HUS), and the wireless communication controller can transmit an image to be photographed by the photographing unit (IMU) to an external device, for example, a mobile phone and a tablet PC. The main body 120 further includes a wireless communication controller for storing the received image in the memory. In addition, the image stored in the memory can be transmitted to an external device, such as a mobile phone and a tablet PC, in response to a request from a user. For example, the wireless communication can be performed through Wi-Fi, USB communication, or the like.

The dropping unit FAU delays the dropping of the projectile 140 during the time when the photographing unit IMU of the projectile 140 performs photographing when the projectile 140 is dropped from the main body 120, May be provided to mitigate the impact of the projectile 140 due to the fall.

3 is a view showing an embodiment of a dropping portion of the photographing apparatus of FIG.

Referring to Figs. 1 to 3, the projectile 140 of the photographing apparatus 100 can be dropped by the dropping unit FAU. For example, the dropping unit FAU may be implemented in the form of an umbrella or a parachute as shown in Fig. The dropping unit FAU may be formed of a plurality of support members SPT and a fabric FAB. A plurality of support members SPT are connected to the fabric FAB and can form the shape of the drop FAU after the launch vehicle 140 is fired.

When the projectile 140 starts to fall after a certain time has elapsed after the launching of the projectile 140, the dropping unit FAU can fall in the shape as shown in Fig. 3 by spreading the tail FAB supported by the support member SPT . As an example, the dropping unit FAU may be connected to the connection line 160 and may be unfolded from the housing HUS when the connection line 160 is extended to the maximum. As an example, the dropping unit FAU may be unfolded from the housing HUS at the moment of launch, and may be deployed, for example, by the resistance of the air as the projectile 140 drops as the lift-up force is consumed.

The photographing unit IMU of the projectile 140 can continuously perform photographing once or plural times while the projectile 140 falls.

In one embodiment, the photographing section can perform photographing in accordance with the input of the user. For example, the wireless communication controller (not shown) included in the projectile 140 can receive the user's photographing input, and the photographing unit IMU can perform photographing each time the photographing input is received.

In one embodiment, the photographing unit IMU can perform photographing in accordance with a preset value. As an example, the photographing unit IMU can perform photographing while the projectile 140 falls, that is, the photographing corresponding to the flight time. For example, the photographing unit IMU may perform photographing a predetermined number of times after a predetermined time elapses from when the projectile 140 is separated from the main body 120. The projectile 140 may further include a timer (not shown) activated when pressure is applied to the second point PO2 of the projectile 140, and the timer may be activated when the predetermined time or clock elapses, (IMU) can be activated. The timer may be continuously activated or may be activated by being connected to the connection line 160 and turning on the switch or the like due to the tension of the connection line 160. As an example, when the pressure is applied to the second point PO2 of the projectile 140 or the like, the photographing unit IMU may be activated or activated by the tension of the connecting line 160. [ In the latter case, the photographing unit IMU may further include a switch (not shown) connected to the connection line 160. The above-described photographing method of the photographing unit (IMU) is illustrative and not limited thereto, and various methods can be applied according to the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

4 is a view showing another embodiment of the dropping section of the photographing apparatus of FIG.

The rotation axis AIX of the falling section FAU of Fig. 4 is connected to a small motor MTR located in the housing HUS and is rotated by a small motor MTR, WIG may rotate to delay the drop of the projectile 140 or allow the projectile 140 to fly. In one example, the small motor (MTR) can be activated by a button (BUT), a timer, or a tension of a connecting line. In one example, a wireless communication controller (not shown) included in the launch vehicle 140 may receive a user input and cause the launch vehicle 140 to fly. It is possible to take a desired image at a desired position through the flight rather than simply performing shooting while the projectile 140 simply falls.

The rotation axis AIX of the drop FAU can extend from the first length LEN1 to the second length LEN2 when the projectile 140 is fired from the main body 120 and the small motor MTR is activated . The second sub-rotation axis AIX2 corresponding to the first length LEN1 in the second length LEN2 is mounted in the first sub-rotation axis AIX1 corresponding to the first length LEN1 , And when the small motor (MTR) is turned on. When the projectile 140 is fired from the main body 120 and the small motor MTR is activated, the rotation of the rotation axis AIX is stopped when the projectile 140 is fired from the main body 120 and the small motor MTR is activated, And can be unfolded as shown in Fig. 4 by movement.

5A and 5B are views showing another embodiment of the dropping portion of the image pickup apparatus of FIG.

When the projectile 140 starts to fall after a certain point of time has elapsed after the projectile 140 is fired, the dropping unit FAU can fall in the shape as shown in FIG. 5B by expanding the resistance blade WIG '. Specifically, the resistance vane WIG 'is coupled to the central axis AIX', and can move in a predetermined direction and distance about the central axis AIX ', and with this movement, the resistance vane can be unfolded . As an example, the dropping unit FAU may be connected to the connection line 160 and may be unfolded from the housing HUS when the connection line 160 is extended to the maximum. As an example, the dropping unit FAU may be unfolded from the housing HUS at the moment of launch, and may be deployed, for example, by the resistance of the air as the projectile 140 drops as the lift-up force is consumed.

6 is a view showing an example in which the photographing portion of Fig. 1 is mounted on the housing.

Referring to FIG. 6, the photographing unit IMU may further include a lens LEN and a bellows-shaped corrugated tube WRB connected between the lens LEN and the housing HUS. The corrugated tube WRB can manually or automatically adjust the angle of the lens LEN in consideration of the angle or height at which the projectile 140 falls, etc., thereby adjusting the angle of photographing of the image.

Specifically, when the first side DIR1 is set higher than the second side DIR2 in the corrugated container WRB, even if the angle at which the projectile 140 is fired (that is, the angle at which the main body 120 reaches the horizontal plane It is possible to adjust the lens LEN so as to face the subject. Conversely, if the height of the second side DIR2 is set lower than the first side DIR1 in the corrugated container WRB, even if the angle at which the projectile 140 is fired (that is, Even if the angle is small), the lens LEN can be adjusted to face the subject. Only the setting of the upper and lower directions (the first side DIR1 and the second side DIR2) of the corrugated container WRB is only for simplicity of the drawings and the description, and the setting of the corrugated container WRB in the left- The possibility will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
