Device for automatically taking documents

This creation relates to a type of photographing device, and more particularly to a device for automatically taking a document.

With the rapid development of business activities, business interactions and interactions between people have become important work content for business people, so the communication and communication of business cards has become frequent, and business card management has often become a hassle and trivial work. At present, the existing business card scanning and recognizing device can scan and collect the collected business cards one by one, and then import the identified files into the address book of the system such as a computer or a PDA. In view of the current mobileization needs of busy society, the integration of multi-functional and rapid processing of electronic products has become a trend in the future; however, digital cameras with the function of photographing business cards are currently commercially available, and the style and functions of the network cameras are constantly being refurbished, but Due to the incomplete design, when the two functions of photographing business card and general photography need to be switched, it is difficult to balance the convenience of shooting and switching; when it is necessary to shoot a large number of business cards, the user needs to be cumbersome and repeated. The action adjusts the distance and angle between the business card and the camera so that the captured image is clearer.

At present, when the user uses the image capturing module on the mobile phone (or other handheld device) to obtain the file image, the user must first place the file and then move the phone to the distance within which the lens can be in focus. In this case, the method for capturing the image of the mobile phone includes the following steps: Step 1: Turn on the lens module of the mobile phone, and then display the display screen of the mobile phone into the preview mode to display the image of the file to be captured; Step 2: After the user confirms that the file image is in the appropriate position on the display screen, manually performing the photographing function causes the mobile phone to display the screen to enter the photographing mode to capture the document image; Step 3: Display the captured file image on the display screen; Step 4: Determine whether to continue shooting other files. If yes, go to the preview mode and go back to step 2. If no, go to step 5; Step 5: End.

In the step of capturing a document image by the mobile phone as described above, the user needs to manually perform the photographing function to capture the image of the document, especially if it is necessary to continuously take multiple images of the document, it is necessary to perform the manual shooting function multiple times to capture more The document image is such that continuous operation is quite inconvenient for the user.

In view of this, the present invention proposes a device for automatically capturing documents in order to effectively overcome the above problems in view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for automatically taking a document, which is a device that automatically switches between a document and a general photography, is easy to operate, and can automatically capture a document continuously.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a device for automatically capturing a document, which is a device for placing a document between a photographing lens and a photographing start pattern, so that the camera module of the handheld device automatically performs photographing to obtain a document image.

For the above purposes, the present invention provides a device for automatically capturing a document, comprising a base comprising an engaging component and a positioning component for placing a document to be photographed on the positioning component; a handheld device comprising an image recognition module A camera module, an image display module, a control module and a storage module are provided, wherein the control module is respectively connected with the image recognition module, the camera module, the image display module and the storage module. The handheld device is placed on the base and connected to the engaging component Then, the camera module is used to take a picture; and a photo activation pattern is set on the base, and the file is disposed between the lens and the photographing start pattern.
