Definitions

  • the invention relates to an optical extension for a smartphone camera or a camera on a mobile or other compact device (tablet PC or laptop), in particular a telephoto lens, a telescope or a microscope, according to independent claim 1.
  • the smartphone cameras are often ideal for group and extensive landscape photography nowadays, but they are due to the large FOV (Field Of View) and missing optical zoom, not suitable for detail, person and Portraitaufhahmen. Video recording and the photographing of astronomical objects and events are also closed to them. Likewise, each compact camera loses its own image design through targeted selection and enlargement of the image section, by means of which the image components can be suitably weighted. There is a real need here.
  • connection between the extension and the smartphone is not particularly stable, the resulting sensitivity requires increased attention and extra care in handling the device, spoiling both ergonomics and fun.
  • the solution to the problem consists essentially in the folding of the optical beam path.
  • the weight and the volume are thereby reduced significantly only in case 2 (connector to the binoculars), in case 1 (telephoto extension) by additional or additional mirrors even slightly increased. Therefore, the folded arrangement is not obvious, because it is more expensive and expensive in design and manufacturing due to more optical elements and correspondingly high adjustment requirements.
  • the advantages of the acquired ergonomics become clear only at second glance. What is significantly changed by the folding is the weight and volume distribution, which is very compact close to the smartphone. This causes the particularly disturbing torques to decrease by up to an order of magnitude, which results in better transportability and alignability. You can use smaller tripods. Additional correction optics are not so negative in weight, so can be used rather.
  • the connection with the smartphone almost inevitably falls over a large area and thus robust. This allows a fast and compact snap connection can be realized, which allows an almost immediate use, or the extension can remain mounted on the smartphone, because the composite arrangement is not so bulky.
  • the folding preferably ensures that the optical beam path and thus the optical axis of the extension runs at least partially along the smartphone surface.
  • This means that the optical axis of the extension has in sections an angle different from 90 ° to the smartphone surface, preferably this angle is less than or equal to 45 °, more preferably this angle is less than 30 °. By way of example, it should be preferred here: over half of the path within the extension.
  • the folding can be at fixed angles. However, it can be realized in some applications with variable angles.
  • the folding can be realized with the help of mirrors but also by prisms. These can also be made rotatable and / or movable.
  • the mounted extension provides a way to operate the smartphone camera by bypassing or disabling the extension.
  • This function may be useful for finding the object that you actually want to magnify with the camera with ease, positioning it in the center of the frame, and then only turning on the magnification. This is especially useful for astronomy applications and nature observation on Earth.
  • This function can be realized by removing the input lens and / or the first (input) mirror from the beam path, for. B. in which the input lens and / or the mirror are moved.
  • the attachment part of the extension to the smartphone can make sense, but not necessarily, take over a protective function for the smartphone.
  • This attachment part may, but not necessarily, be separable from the actual optical extension and serve as a protective cover or protective frame.
  • the extension may contain information for some applications and / or deliver it to the smartphone, e.g. B. position and / or orientation in space, relative and / or absolute, concerning the entire extension and / or their parts, in particular optical axes.
  • the extension may include manual or motorized actuation. This can be supported and / or controlled by software on the smartphone (eg to find celestial bodies or to follow them over time).
  • optical elements are movable, they can be coupled together to make the control particularly easy.
  • the unit Smartphone and extension can have the possibility to measure the Point Spread Function (PSF), in order to remedy the optical errors software-wise retrospectively. This can save a lot of weight, which is always important for mobile devices.
  • the measurement of the PSF is preferably location-dependent, but preferably with a resolution that is significantly smaller than the camera resolution.
  • the solution according to the invention is significantly easier and more space-saving than the compound to the remote glass solution (case 2).
  • smartphone is often representative of both smartphone and other mobile or compact devices such as a laptop PC or tablet PC.
  • Lenses and lens-mirror combinations can be replaced with non-plane mirrors.

  • the Galilei arrangement has the advantage that it can be designed significantly shorter because it has no intermediate image.
  • the decisive disadvantage of the Galilei arrangement is the fact that it allows enlargement by more than a factor of 3 only with great effort, whereas the Kepler arrangement allows significantly higher magnification factors. It is not known if the Galileo order is even offered in the market. It differs from the Kepler arrangement by an eyepiece 3 with negative refractive power. There is no image reversal and there is no intermediate image.

  • the image reversal of the arrangement is reversed in each case with the corresponding image reversing device 11 and 11 ', which makes sense in the usual purpose of use.
  • the image reversal hardware-free software can be done in the smartphone, so the heavy image reversal device is redundant, as well as a second optical channel.

  • the optical beam path with the optical axis 7 with the sections 8, 9 and 10 was by means of the mirrors (it could also be prisms, in general: Deflection devices) 5 and 6 folded, so that the optical beam path initially in the section 8 is substantially perpendicular to the smartphone surface, but then in section 9 substantially along the smartphone surface, although not necessarily parallel thereto. Since the optical axes of the beam paths of the camera and the extension are essentially congruent, a distinction was made here.
  • the arrangement of the optical elements is here in the following order: the camera follows the eyepiece of the extension, then the first deflection mirror 5, the second deflection mirror 6 and then the lens 4.
  • the entrance of the extension is thus the optical opening of the device by the " Camera view "penetrates into the device and the output of the device is the optical opening of the device through the" camera view “leaves the device.
  • the input and the output of the device are thus defined by the viewing direction (contrary to the direction of the optical radiation).
  • the input is thus eyepiece-sided, the output lens-side.

It could just as well have been a Galilean telescope. Likewise, it could have been a microscope arrangement, possibly using a different number of optics. A lens in this document often stands for a lens group. All folded extensions are within the scope of the invention. It should also be noted that all solutions in FIG. 3 and the following figures show a hardware-like image reversal, e.g. B. by suitable prism arrangement (11 in Fig. 2) may contain. However, solutions with software image rotation and without hardware-specific image rotation are preferred because it allows very flexible adaptation to the number of mirrors and the smartphone location (normal, "upside down", ...) can go down. Furthermore, this saves weight, components and thus money, the adjustment and production costs are lower, the absorption, scattering and reflection losses are also lower and there are fewer problems with the scattered light.
