Description
DIGITAL CAMERA SCANNER IN A DESK LAMP
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to electronic image scanners. More particularly, this invention relates to electronic image scanners and/ or digital cameras operable as a computer peripheral device or a standalone camera scanner without requirement for connecting to a computer wherein the image scanner/digital camera is integrated to and operated together with a desk lamp.
2. Description of the Prior Art There are various apparatus and methods available in the marketplace for electronically scanning items with digital imaging electronics to create a digital file or producing a live video representation of the item. The most common method for electronically scanning documents and creating a digital file is with a flatbed scanner connected to a PC via a USB cable. Typically the flatbed scanner utilizes a contact image sensor (CIS) approach wherein the CIS is attached to a mechanical moving arm and is swept across the document in the flatbed scanner, scanning the document line by line. While this approach is cost effective, and yields a good quality digital representation of the document, the approach is typically quite time consuming which makes it undesirable to consumers. Also, the flatbed scanner housing is large and takes up much space on a desk top which makes it undesirable to consumers.
To solve the problems of undesirable housing size and limited scanning speed, new types of digital document scanners have recently emerged. The new document scanners deploy an array-based image sensor semiconductor approach and operate much like a PC camera. In this approach, the sweeping mechanical arm is eliminated because the document is scanned all at once, like a PC camera taking a picture of a document. The operation to electronically scan a document is now accomplished in much less time. These PC camera scanners typically take the form of a PC camera mounted on a stand wherein the stand acts to position the PC camera above the documents to enable the scan. In these PC camera scanners, the stand typically incorporates a light mechanism to illuminate the document to improve the scanning image quality and the stand typically provides a USB interface for connecting to a computer. The PC camera scanners offer improved utility over the flatbed scanners
because of their higher scanning speed. The scanner also takes up a smaller footprint on the desktop. However, despite these added benefits over the traditional flatbed scanner approach, PC camera scanners are still limited by several difficulties and inconveniences from a housing design standpoint. The configured lighting device on PC camera scanners is wasteful because such configuration fails to take into account that the lighting device can also perform a secondary function to serve the function of a desk lamp. The lighting device in the PC camera scanner is only associated with the scanning function and is not configured to operate independently as a desk lamp. For instance, the lighting device in the PC camera scanner is configured to meet a USB power supply which is often insufficient for use as a desk lamp. Also, the lighting device in the PC camera scanner is configured to murninate the item to be scanned and is not configured to allow the common range of motion enabled by typical office desk lamps. The configuration of a conventional PC camera scanner thus limits the utility due to the single functional application of such device. The configuration also causes the requirement of increased office space since this PC camera scanner is not integrated with another apparatus commonly used in the office. This limitation is especially noteworthy since the scanner will normally incorporate a light source to illuminate the document to be scanned, and it is more efficient if this lamp can be dual purposed to be a general purpose desk lamp. Another limitation of the current PC camera scanners is the requirement of connecting to and operating the scanner from a computer. The scanners are tethered to a PC via a USB cable and the PC then controls the scanner. While this may be acceptable for those situations where a PC is close at hand, however, flexibilities of arranging such device at a greater distance away from a computer is thus limited. Flexibilities of space arrangement can be improved to provide additional advantages by providing a scanner without requiring a connection to a computer. A stand-alone version of the PC camera scanner would also include a display, such as an LCD, and a storage system, such as SD card, so that items could be scanned without the use of a tethered PC. Therefore, a need still exists to further improve the PC camera scanner by improving the functionalities and utilities of current configuration of PC camera scanners such that these limitations may be overcome. Specifically, a need still exists to integrate the functions and utilities of the camera scanner with other functions and utilities of another office device such that wasteful occupancies of office space and use of electrical energies may be reduced. Furthermore, a need still exist to further improve the configuration of the camera scanners such that a user can have more flexibilities to arrange the camera scanners at different locations without being limited to connect to a computer.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
It is therefore a first aspect of this invention to provide a digital camera scanner in a desk lamp. The digital camera scanner can be configured as a PC peripheral wherein the scanner is tethered to a PC via a USB cable and the PC controls the scanner function. Alternatively, the scanner can be designed as a standalone scanner in which case the scanner also incorporates a display, for example an LCD, and storage device, for example an SD card, for scanning items and storing their digital images without the need of external computer control. In either case, the scanner is built into a desk lamp, and the desk lamp can be used independently of the scanner and the desk lamp sources its power from mains power and the desk lamp has the typical range of motion features which allow the light to be cast in many directions. The digital camera scanner in a desk lamp can have the additional features of: 1) being able to chroma key items being scanned to create cut-out images of the items, 2) providing digital photo frame capability, 3) having one touch button controls, and 4) operating as a video conferencing camera.
It is another aspect of this invention to provide a digital camera scanner in a desk lamp wherein an item is electronically scanned with digital imaging electronics and the resultant output is an electronic digital image file, such as JPEG, a document file, such as PDF or TXT, or a live video stream. One embodiment of this invention comprises an electronic image scanner that operates as a computer peripheral and also as a desk lamp wherein the scanner is tethered to a personal computer (PC) via a USB cable and the control of the scanner is performed by the PC.
It is another aspect of this invention to provide a digital camera scanner in a desk lamp wherein the scanner integrated with the lamp is standalone and therefore can conduct its scanning operation without the need of an external computer. In this standalone case the scanner integrated with the lamp has a built in display, such as an LCD, to provide a preview of the image to be captured. The display operates as a user interface for directing control of the scanner and as a vehicle for viewing images. Such a standalone scanner also has a digital storage mechanism, such as secure digital (SD) flash memory card, to which the digitized images are stored.
It is another aspect of this invention to provide a digital camera scanner in a desk lamp by integrating a desk lamp with different types of image scanning devices such as the PC Cameras (defined as cameras tethered to a PC via a USB cable and
controlled by the PC), and to Digital Still Cameras (defined as standalone cameras which operate independently from a PC and have their own LCD display and flash memory storage). In an embodiment, the desk lamps provides light and power to the image scanning devices integrated with the lamp.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will no doubt become obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art after having read the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment which is illustrated in the various drawing figures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Figure 1 shows a digital camera scanner in a desk lamp of this invention that includes:
• a desk lamp with a power cable for a mains power supply
• an ON/OFF/Dimmer switch to control the desk lamp
• an adjustable lamp post to position the lamp, and camera, as desired
• a PC camera incorporating a nine mega-pixel, array-based, CMOS image sensor, a lens system, image processor and USB controller
• a retractable USB cable to interface to a PC
• one touch scanner controls
To use the digital camera scanner in a desk lamp as a desk lamp, the apparatus is plugged into mains power and the ON/ OFF/Dimmer switch is used to control the desk lamp. The ON/ OFF/Dimmer switch turns the lamp on and off, as well as allows the user to set the brightness of the lamp. The desk lamp can be operated
independently of the scanner.
Fig. 2 shows the configuration of using the digital camera scanner integrated with a desk lamp as a PC-controlled scanner. The digital camera scanner in a desk lamp is plugged into mains power. A USB cable is extended from the base of the desk lamp and plugged into a PC. The desk lamp provides the lighting to illuminate the document being scanned, and thus improving the image quality of the scanned image. The user places an item to be scanned on the desk top at the base of the scanner and then uses application software on the PC to operate the scanner.
Application software running on the PC is used to control and implement the image scan. The application running on the PC performs the commonly known scanner control features including: a preview image of the item to be scanned
- an image capture of the item to be scanned
- a selection of the type of document to be created from the image scan, for
example PDF, multi page PDF, JPEG, TIFF, TXT, email, chroma key, direct to printer, etc.
managing the imaging docs, for example save, save as, delete, etc.
- performing optical character recognition (OCR) and generating a TXT file of the document
- creating multi-page PDF documents
adjusting the image quality and resolution
settings for color or black and white
Alternatively, the user may use the one touch keys at the base of the scanner to easily perform many common scanning tasks including:
- creating a image file, e.g., JPEG file
- performing an optical character recognition of the document being scanned and producing a text file, e.g., TXT file
- creating a PDF file of the document being scanned
performing a chroma key scan
- sending the image scan digital file directly to print
attaching the image scan digital file directly to an email
Figure 3 shows a digital camera scanner in a desk lamp connected to a PC via a USB cable and configured to operate as a video conferencing camera. In this configuration the lamp hood can be rotated such that the camera is pointed to the PC user and the light from the lamp can iUuminate the user to provide better video image quality. The PC is running video conferencing software, such as Skype, that accepts live video from a PC camera and transmits it to others on the video conference.
Figure 4 shows a digital camera scanner in a desk lamp operating in chroma key mode. The chroma key function works by using the digital camera to capture an image of an object against a background consisting of a single color, usually blue or green. This background is called a chroma key matte. The portions of the image which match the preselected color are cropped away by chroma key image processing done in the PC, or chroma key image processing in the apparatus if the digital camera in a desk lamp is configured for standalone operation (figure 5).
Figure 5 shows a digital camera scanner in a desk lamp operating in a standalone fashion i.e., no computer is required to control the scanner. In this configuration the digital camera scanner in a desk lamp includes an LCD to: 1) provide a user interface, 2) display preview images of the items being scanned, 3) play back scanned images and 4) act as a digital photo frame. The apparatus also has a storage mechanism to store the images, such as an SD card (shown). The desk lamp and scanner are deriving their power from mains power.
The item to be scanned is positioned on the desk top below the digital camera. The user utilizes the one touch buttons, the menu control buttons and the user interface provided on the LCD to control the scanning operation. The digital camera provides a live video preview, and an image capture, of the item to be scanned and
sends the images to the LCD for display. The digitized version of scanned item, for example JPEG, TXT, or PDF, is stored to an SD card.
The user can transfer the digitized versions of the scanned items from the SD card in a variety of ways including: 1) manually removing the SD card from the apparatus and inserting it into a PC directly, 2) manually removing the SD card from the apparatus, inserting it into an SD card reader and then connecting the SD card reader to the PC, 3) manually removing the SD card from the apparatus and inserting it into other peripherals capable of utilizing digitized scans such as printers, digital photo frames and other display devices, and 4) connecting the apparatus to a PC via a USB device and reading the SD card via a standard mass storage class driver.
The apparatus can also operate as Digital Photo Frame (DPF). The user uses the menu control buttons to put the apparatus in DPF mode. In DPF mode, digitized versions of scanned images or other digital image and audio files such as JPEG, AVI video, MP3 audio, are displayed on the LCD, or, in the case of audio, played out through the speaker. Files are retrieved from the SD memory card.
Although the present invention has been described in terms of the presently preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that such disclosure is not to be interpreted as hiruting. Various alternations and modifications will no doubt become apparent to those skilled in the art after reading the above disclosure. Accordingly, it is intended that the appended claims be interpreted as covering all alternations and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
