The width of the stitch area (1) equals the minimum webcam diameter and its height is at least the minimum distance between lower edge of the webcam and the top edge of the display. The cover surface (2) cover may preferably have a conical shape which on the inner side may comprise a protrusion (4).

Description

Technical field

The technical solution relates to a protective, opaque, design-attractive and partially adaptable cover on a webcam embedded in laptops, tablets or mobile phones.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A fast time to constantly use electronic devices to communicate and transmit information also carries the risk of privacy loss. The impact of hackers, various computer viruses, or the perception of constantly watching people is increasingly worrying.

To prevent unauthorized viewing by webcam, it is possible to use an opaque adhesive tape on the webcam, which does not allow the webcam to be used instantly and quickly in Online Communication. the rest of the electronic device, while not aesthetically pleasing. To protect your PC's webcam from Internet attackers, a special program is also used to lock the webcam's password using a password and permanently checks the possibility of using it in the background of the operating system. This solution requires knowledge of computer programs and is also more expensive.

The essence of the technical solution

These drawbacks are overcome by the webcam protective cover embedded in laptops, tablets or mobile phones, according to the present invention, which consists of a single piece of opaque U-shaped material whose arms are interconnected by an upper connecting portion. The connecting portion may have a straight or arcuate shape. Both arms form the abutment surfaces for the respective display, the width of at least one of the abutment surfaces being at least equal to the webcam diameter and its height at least equal to the distance of the lower edge of the webcam from the upper edge of the respective display.

Preferably, one of the abutment surfaces of the protective cover may have a conical shape, which may include a protrusion on the inside.

By attaching the protective cover to the appropriate display, it covers it from both sides and overlaps the webcam, preventing image capture. The contact surfaces of the protective cover exert pressure on the respective display, which holds the protective cover in place. The pressure is provided by a resilient material such as rubber, silicone, plastic and other suitable materials.

The protective cover may have different sizes, designs and materials depending on the consumer's requirements.

The advantage of the present technical solution is easy manipulation, quick mounting and removal of the cover in case the camcorder needs to be used immediately. The camcorder's protective cover does not damage the computer surface and does not leave any residual material. Due to its unobtrusive size and appearance, it is a compatible part of the laptop, giving it a modern and aesthetic feel The webcam cover can be left on the laptop even if the laptop (notebook) is closed.

The webcam cover can be made in a variety of colors and prints, while maintaining the privacy function of the webcam. It is impossible for the webcam to record any image taking place in front of the computer secured by the protective cover

Industrial usability

The present technical solution besides its use to prevent the recording of the image by the webcamera has other use as a decorative or advertising item.
