[Prior Art] Today's digital image capture devices are becoming more and more popular, and their functions are becoming more and more diverse. Most digital cameras or digital cameras have the function of automatic photography. However, in the prior art, after the automatic shooting function of the digital image capturing device is executed, it must be continuously recorded, so that the digital image capturing device consumes a large amount of power, and also consumes a large amount of power. The memory storage space is used to access image data obtained by photography. On the other hand, today's digital image capture devices are becoming smaller and smaller, and the position of the flash on the digital image capture device is also marginal. Therefore, in the prior art, when the user uses the digital image capturing device, it is easy to shield the flash due to the holding relationship, which may result in insufficient photo light. In this case, the user is also not aware of the problem of insufficient lighting. Therefore, a new apparatus is needed to solve the problems caused by the prior art. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 5 1357759 The main object of the present invention is to provide a function of having automatic photography. Another main object of the present invention is to provide a function of preventing the flash from being shielded while providing the same.

Sense ==, the automatic shooting is performed like the operation device determines that the sensing device is on the right and left. If the sensing device senses that the digital image is split, the automatic photography mode will be paused until the sense of the device is just outside the source. The first embodiment is that the user first selects the photo mode to be used by using the operation selection button. The digital image capture device adjusts the voltage back to 6 1357759 and provides a low voltage to the sensing device. The sensing device can thereby shorten the distance to be sensed. The digital image capture device determines whether the sensing device detects an external signal. If the sensing device senses the external signal source, the digital image capturing device pauses the camera mode, so that the user cannot press the shutter device until the sensing device senses the external signal source. [Embodiment] In order to enable the reviewing committee to better understand the technical contents of the present invention, a preferred embodiment will be described below. Please refer to FIG. 1 for a hardware architecture diagram of the digital image capturing device of the present invention. The digital image capturing device 10 can be a digital camera or a digital camera, but the invention is not limited thereto. In the present embodiment, a digital camera is taken as an example. The inside of the digital image capturing device 10 may include a processor 21, a sensing device 22, a shutter device 23, a circuit board 24, an operation selection key 25, a prompting device 26, and a flash 27. The processor 21 is used to process the functions of the digital image capture device 10. The sensing device 22 is used to detect signals from outside objects. The sensing device 22 is preferably a pyroelectric type infrared sensing device, but the invention is not limited thereto. The sensing device 22 can change the distance that the sensing device 22 can detect by the input voltage and current. The external signal can be an infrared signal emitted by the article (in the embodiment, the human body is taken as an example). The shutter device 23 is for allowing the user to operate the digital image capturing device 10, and the user can press the shutter device 23 to take a photo or other function. The circuit board 24 and the sensing device 22 and the prompting device 26 are electrically connected to each other, and the circuit board 24 further includes a voltage loop 241. The voltage circuit 241 is a processor 21 7 1357759 Ιι ·, determines the sense of supply (four) set 22 more according to the processor 2 调整 different adjustment call position loop 'voltage loop 241 can be 25 to allow the user to different Voltage. Operation selection button 搡 mode. The prompting device 26 can be different from the image capturing device 10, but the invention is not limited thereto. A polar body (LED) or a buzzer to inform the user that the digital image capture device 26 can issue a prompt signal signal for the current operating state of the light emitting diode, but the present invention does not Limited. The sound of flashing or bee H, φ takes the additional light source when the device 10 takes a picture to provide a digital image. Next, please refer to Figure 2 for a perspective view of the device. Regarding the digital image file 32 of the present invention, the front cover 31 and the rear cover are disposed by the front cover 2 and the rear cover 31. The circuit board 24 is located at the front cover 5_taking device 22 and the prompting device 26. Both are within board 24. The sensing device includes a connection of the front cover 31 of the electric circuit 24, and the measuring holes 311' of the circuit board 24 are adjacent to each other. The sensing device 22 贞 comes to the outside world. Flash 27 series setting (4) Cover hole: = When using / finger, the finger may be shielded to the flash 27 and the Russian measuring hole 311 of the residual device 22. The prompt device % bit ^ device 26 is an example of a light-emitting diode, but the present invention is not used as a mode 3 = 2 2 # invention number_image_device automatic camera 8 1357759 First step 501: select automatic photography mode . The user first selects the mode to be executed by using the operation selection key 25, which is to select the automatic photography mode in this embodiment. Next, step 502 is performed: adjusting the voltage loop 241 to output a high voltage. After the user selects the automatic photography mode, the processor 21 simultaneously adjusts the voltage loop 241, thereby providing a high voltage to the sensing device 22. As a result, the sensing device 22 can increase the distance that can be sensed. Then step 503: whether an external signal is detected. At this time, the sensing device 22 starts to detect whether a human body appears within its detection range, that is, whether there is an infrared signal. If there is an infrared signal, the digital image capture device 10 proceeds to step 504; if not, proceeds to step 505. Step 504: Perform an automatic photography mode. The digital image capture device 10 performs an automatic photography mode until the sensing device 22 senses an external source of infrared signals. Step 505: Pause the automatic photography mode. If the sensing device 22 does not sense the external infrared signal, the processor 21 will suspend the automatic photography mode until the sensing device 22 senses the infrared signal of the outside world and then re-executes the automatic photography mode. According to the above embodiment, the digital image capturing device 10 can perform video recording when a human body passes, thereby avoiding the use of excessive power and storing the memory space of the digital image. Next, please refer to FIG. 6 for an operation flowchart of the photographing mode of the digital image capturing device of the present invention. 9 1357759 First step 601: Select the photo mode. The user first selects the mode to be executed by using the operation selection key 25, which is the selection of the photographing mode in this embodiment. Next, in step 602, the voltage loop 241 is adjusted to output a low voltage. After the user selects the photographing mode, the processor 21 simultaneously adjusts the voltage loop 241, thereby outputting a low voltage to the sensing device 22. In this way, the sensing device 22 can shorten the distance that can be sensed, and the sensed distance can be shortened to the vicinity of the front cover 31 of the digital image capturing device 10. Then step 603: whether an external signal is detected. The processor 21 determines whether the sensing device 22 detects an external signal. Since the distance sensed by the sensing device 22 is short, the user's finger or other items must be directly shielded from the detecting hole 311 for the sensing device 22 to detect. If no external signal is detected, then step 604 is directly performed; if yes, step 605 is performed. Step 604: Perform a photographing mode. The digital image capturing device 10 directly executes the photographing mode. Step 605: Pause the photographing mode. If the sensing device 22 senses the external signal, the digital image capturing device 10 pauses the photographing mode while preventing the user from pressing the shutter device 23 until the sensing device 22 senses the external signal source. At the same time, the prompting device 26 also sends a prompt signal to inform the user. With the above embodiment, it is possible to ensure that no finger or other items are obscured to the flash lamp 27 when photographing. The application of the sensing device 22 of the present invention in the photographing mode is not limited to the embodiment of the above 1357759. Referring to Figure 7, a front view of another embodiment of the digits of the present invention. The sensing vibrations 22 can be divided into = receiving end 222, respectively placed adjacent to the left and right flashes 27 (four) = 221 and the relative position of the receiving end 222 can be changed according to different needs ^ not in the position shown in the figure limit. The sensing device 22 is sent by the transmitting end 221 - the signal is received by the receiving end 222. When the receiving end 222 cannot receive the signal from the emitter 221, it means that the transmitting end 221 or the receiving end η? is blocked by the barrier. At this time, the digital image device ig stops the photographing mode. θ In summary, the invention is characterized by its purpose, means and efficacy, both of which are different from the characteristics of the prior art, and (4) the inspection committee (four), early patents, and the company Will. It should be noted that the above-described embodiments are merely examples for the convenience of the description, and the claims of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments.
