The connecting device 10 can be connected to the handheld electronic device 200 ; 20 is used to capture an image; the imaging device 40 is coupled to the connecting device 10; the two ends of the optical transmission line 30 are respectively coupled to the image capturing lens 20 and the imaging device 40, thereby transmitting the image to the imaging device 40 for the photographic lens 210 capture images. It should be noted that in order to facilitate the photographic lens 210 to capture the image displayed by the imaging device 40, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the position of the imaging device 40 may correspond to the photographic lens 210.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the connecting device 10 is a casing similar to the conventional mobile phone protective case, and the casing can be sleeved on the display surface of the handheld electronic device 200. On the back. The optical transmission line 30 includes a first optical fiber 31 and a second optical fiber 32. The two ends of the first optical fiber 31 are respectively connected to the image capturing lens 20 and the imaging device 40, thereby transmitting images to the imaging device 40. The second optical fiber 32 The two ends are respectively connected to the image capturing lens 20 and the light source supplying unit 220 to provide a light source for the image capturing lens 20.

It should be noted that the optical transmission line 30 of the present invention is a long optical transmission line (optical fiber), which is matched with the image capturing lens 20. One application of the present invention can be used as one of the objects that can be placed in the human body and observed in the organ. Use with a sight glass, such as the mouth, ears or nose. When the image capturing device 1 of the present invention is used as an endoscope, the lack of an auxiliary light source inside the human body allows The built-in electronic device 200 has a built-in software control light source supply unit 220 for emitting light, and the second optical fiber 32 is used to transmit the light emitted by the light source supply unit 220 to provide a light source for the image capturing lens 20 to make the image capturing lens 20 clear. Image. The image captured by the image capturing lens 20 is transmitted to the imaging device 40 through the first optical fiber 31. At this time, the imaging device 40 displays the image of the image capturing lens 20, and then the built-in electronic device 200 controls the photographic lens 210 with the built-in software. The image on the imaging device 40 is captured, and the image captured by the image capturing lens 20 is finally displayed on the display screen of the handheld electronic device 200 for the user to view, and the photographic lens 210 built in the handheld electronic device 200 is taken. The image displayed on the display screen of the handheld electronic device 200 is a conventional technique and will not be described again.

In addition, when the image capturing device 1 of the present invention is used as an endoscope, for example, the image capturing device 1 enters the mouth, the ear or the nose, and the like, and can simultaneously transmit data through the built-in electronic device 200. The system transmits the image captured by the photographic lens 210 of the handheld electronic device 200 to a medical cloud system as a terminal system for telemedicine.

It should be noted that the image capturing device 1 of the present invention can be used in a small room where the handheld electronic device 200 cannot enter, and the use of the above-mentioned endoscope is only one of the creations of the present invention. This is limited to this.

In summary, this creation, regardless of its purpose, means and efficacy, is showing its characteristics that are different from the well-known techniques. You are kindly requested to review the examination and express the patent as soon as possible.
