例如, 爱好摄影和旅行的人经常携带数码相机、 单反相机对景物进行照 片拍摄。通常,人们会一手端着相机, 另一手按压相机上的快门来进行拍摄。 但是, 用手按压相机快门来拍摄存在各种问题。 例如, 拍摄慢快门的照片时 需要相机尽可能静止, 即使采用三脚架也可能由于用手按压相机快门而带来 抖动, 从而导致照片模糊。 例如, 在拍摄自拍合影时, 需要设置相机的延时 快门, 按下后要迅速跑到合影地点, 在这种情况下, 可能由于固定的延时时 延, 而导致人没有跑到位置或表情不到位。 例如, 有时人们需要在寒冷等恶 劣环境下拍摄照片, 例如拍摄风雪、 闪电、 日出等, 如果人必须站在相机旁 边等待, 这导致不好的用户体验。 另外, 在人们需要拍摄延时摄影时, 例如, 在拍摄云朵变换的一系列照片时, 需要每隔一段时间按压一次快门, 如此要 求人们必须每隔一段时间回到相机边进行快门按压, 这是非常不便利且效果 不佳的。 同样, 对于其他电器设备、 例如摄像机、 录音器、 投影仪、 电视机、 空调机等也存在类似于上述的缺点。

如此,用户通过便携的便携装置 10就可以容易地利用同样便携的移动装 置 20来远程地、 无线地操控被控装置 30。
2.根据^开的技术的便携装置的一般框图
图 2是示出根据本公开的一个实施例的有助于利用移动终端无线地控制 被控设备的便携装置 10的结构框图。
图 2所示的有助于利用移动终端无线地控制被控设备的便携装置 10, 包 括: 第一信号收发器 101 , 被配置为通过第一无线通信协议, 与移动终端 20 无线地接收和发送第一信号; 控制器 102, 被配置为解析所接收的第一信号 以得到控制命令,并根据所述控制命令生成要向被控设备 30发射的与所述控 制命令相关的第二信号; 第二信号发射器 103, 被配置为通过第二无线通信 协议,根据所述控制命令无线地向所述被控设备 30发射所述第二信号,使得 所述被控设备 30根据该第二信号执行与控制命令相应的操作;以及内置的电 源 104, 被配置为向所述便携装置 10自身供电。
如此, 能够使得用户可以离开被控设备, 利用移动终端来灵活地控制被 控设备进行所期望的操作, 且上述便携装置能够自供电, 因此无需插入被控 设备或从其他设备取电, 从而能够满足户外旅游等无外部电源环境的需要。
相比于传统无线电子快门技术、 传统 WiFi遥控相机技术等遥控解决方 案, 本解决方案能够不需要插入被控设备或从其他设备取电, 能够适应长时 间使用且无外部电源的情况,还能够避免由于插入 /拔出被控设备而造成的接 口损坏,且能够通过移动设备的功能多样性来实现被控设备的多种操控功能, 另外, 本解决方案利用该便携装置将移动设备所遵循的第一无线通信协议的 信号转换为多种不同被控设备所遵循的不同第二无线通信协议的信号, 能够 实现移动设备与多种不同被控设备之间的通信要求, 从而达到操控多种不同 类型的被控设备的效果。
在一个实施例中, 所述便携装置 10可以与所述被控设备 30电隔离, 且 所述便携装置 10 能够通过绝缘的柔性连接部件或刚性连接部件物理地连接 到所述被控设备 30上,优选地,通过诸如绳子的柔性连接部件悬挂于被控设 备 30上。这样,便携装置 10能够随时容易地与被控设备 30绝缘地物理连接, 方便了用户的使用。
第二信号发射器 103的数量可以大于 1个, 例如 2个, 且位于便携装置
10的各个角度, 从而全方位地发射第二信号, 使得被控设备 3对第二信号的 接收无死角。
在一个实施例中, 所述第一无线通信协议可以包括蓝牙通信协议, 所述 第二无线通信协议可以包括红外线通信协议。 蓝牙通信协议的通信距离大约 为最大 30m, 红外线通信协议的通信距离大约为最大 5m。 当然, 本公开不 限于此, 第一无线通信协议与第二无线通信协议可以不同, 也可以相同。 第 一无线通信协议和第二无线通信协议的每个可以包括如下中的至少一种: 蓝 牙通信协议、 红外线通信协议、 WiFi或 802.11B通信协议、 Zigbee、 超宽频 (Ultra WideBand)、短距通信 (NFC)、 WiMedia、 DECT( Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications数字增强无绳通信)、无线 1394等和未来可能出现的无 线通信协议。
被控设备 30是能够接收红外线信号而操作的设备、例如但不限于数码相 机、单反相机, 所述移动终端 20是能够收发蓝牙信号的设备, 例如但不限于 移动电话。
所述被控设备 30可以包括例如数码相机、 单反相机、 摄像机、 录音器、 投影仪、 电视机、 空调机等。 所述移动终端 20可以包括例如移动电话、 笔记 本电脑、 平板电脑、 个人数字助理 ( Personal Digital Assistant, PDA ) 、 蓝牙 耳机等。
在一个实施例中, 所述控制命令可以指示如下操作中的至少一种: 立即 快门、 延时快门、 延时摄影、 对焦、 录像、 调整焦距、 调节快门速度、 调节 光圏、 手动快门模式、 立即开 /关机、 定时开 /关机等。 所述控制命令可以包 括被控设备 30的类型(例如, 相机还是电视机、 或相机的具体型号)和被控 设备 30要执行的操作的类型和参数 (例如,延时摄影以及延时摄影的开始时 间、 周期间隔和张数) 。
在一个实施例中, 所述内置的电源 104在便携装置与移动终端连接成功 后, 可以向所述控制器 102和所述第一信号收发器 101供应第一功率, 以便 所述控制器 102通过第一信号收发器 101以第一速率与所述移动终端 20交换 基础数据, 且在交换基础数据之后, 可以向所述控制器 102和所述第一信号 收发器 101供应第二功率, 以便所述控制器 102通过第一信号收发器 101以 第二速率与所述移动终端通信, 其中, 所述第二功率比第一功率低, 且所述 第二速率比第一速率低。 如此, 可以先利用高速的耗电力的通信进行连接通 信所需的基础数据读写, 例如, 移动设备 20扫描便携装置 10、 请求便携装 置 10的参数信息、便携装置 10向移动设备 20应答,并发送自己的参数信息、 甚至是互相约定之后的通信频率; 然后, 在基础的通信连接完成之后, 电源 104 可以根据之前约定的通信频率转为低速低功耗地运行, 仅在通信频率的 时间周期到达时才启动与移动设备 20的通信, 其余时间可以休眠。 这样, 可 以不仅高速地进行初次的连接通信, 减少用户的等待时间, 又可以在初次的 连接通信之后节电, 保持长久的使用时间, 给用户良好的用户体验。
在一个实施例中, 响应于所述控制器通过第一信号收发器在预定超时时 间内未与所述移动终端连接成功, 所述内置的电源可以向所述控制器和所述 第一信号收发器供应第三功率, 以第三速率广播连接请求。 所述第三功率比 所述第二功率低, 且所述第三速率比所述第二速率低。 如此, 即使在连接不 上移动终端的情况下, 电源 104也可以更低速广播连接请求, 从而进一步节 省电力。
在一个实施例中,该第三速率也可以是可变的。可以在便携装置 10与移 动终端 20连接的可能性大于预定可能性的情况下,使得该第三速率大于预定 速率, 且在便携装置 10与移动终端 20连接的可能性不大于预定可能性的情 况下, 使得该第三速率不大于预定速率。 便携装置 10与移动终端 20连接的 可能性大于预定可能性的情况可以包括但不限于: 便携装置 10 的电源 104 开启后的一段时间; 便携装置 10与移动终端 20断开连接后的一段时间; 其 他用户可能连接便携装置 10和移动终端 20的情况等等。 例如, 在便携装置 10的电源 104启动 (例如初次上电, 即用户第一次打开便携装置 10的电源 104 ) 的情况下 (该情况通常是用户较想要连接移动终端 20的情况, 此时认 为便携装置 10与移动终端 20连接的可能性较大) , 使用例如 1.25s的较短 间隔来广播连接请求, 在经过例如 1天之后仍未连接成功则改变为 2.5s的较 长间隔来广播连接请求。 再例如, 在便携装置 10与移动终端 20断开连接后 (例如, 用户主动终止便携装置 10与移动终端 20的连接, 或移动终端 20 离线、掉电、或远离可连接范围, 可以认为用户再次想要重连的可能性较大) 的 1天之内, 使用例如 1.25s的较短间隔来广播连接请求, 如果经过 1天之 后仍未连接成功则再次切换到 2.5s的较长间隔。 当然这仅是示例而非限制。 如此可变速率的连接请求广播可以更进一步地节省电力且极大地改善用户体 验。
在一个实施例中,所述内置的电源 104可以在要向被控设备 30发射所述 第二信号时才向第二信号发射器 103供电, 且在所述第二信号发射器 103发 射了第二信号之后停止向第二信号发射器 103供电。 这可以使得仅在实质需 要向被控设备 30发射第二信号来操控被控设备 30时才用电, 这能够很大程 度地节省电力,保持长久的使用时间,在不影响被控设备 30的操作的情况下 给用户良好的用户体验。 尤其在例如针对相机的延时摄影时, 假如用户要求 每 1分钟拍摄一张照片, 一共拍摄 100张, 那么电源 104可以在每 1分钟周 期到达时才供电来发射快门操作信号, 而不需要一直连续供电。 在一个实施例中,所述控制命令可以由针对不同操作的不同标识符构成, 且其数据长度小于预定数据长度。 在本公开中, 移动设备 20向便携装置 10 发送的控制命令可以是与具体操作对应的自定义的短的唯一标识符, 而不需 要发送完整的具体操作本身的所有字节, 这样, 还可以进一步地节省发送和 接收数据所损耗的电力。
在一个实施例中, 该便携装置 10还可以包括: 定时器, 所述控制器 102 被配置为响应于解析得到的控制命令为延时摄影命令, 使得所述定时器按照 所述延时摄影命令中指示的拍照周期, 周期性地启动内置的电源供电 104供 电, 以便所述控制器 102生成与立即快门命令相关的第二信号, 并通过所述 第二信号发射器 103向所述被控设备 30发射所述第二信号,使得所述被控设 备 30周期性地执行立即快门操作。
在一个实施例中, 该便携装置 10还可以包括: 蜂鸣器和 /或发光二级管, 其中, 所述控制器 102还可以被配置为进行如下中的一种或多种: 响应于解 析得到的控制命令为距离过远警报命令,触发所述蜂鸣器和 /或发光二级管鸣 叫和 /或发光, 其中, 所述距离过远警报命令是所述移动终端 20在测量到与 所述便携装置 10的距离超过预定距离阈值时发出的,响应于所述第一信号收 发器 101接收的信号功率低于预定功率阈值或所述内置的电源的电力低于预 定电力阈值, 触发所述蜂鸣器和 /或发光二级管鸣叫和 /或发光, 响应于解析 得到的控制命令为寻找装置命令, 触发所述蜂鸣器和 /或发光二级管鸣叫和 / 或发光,其中 ,寻找装置命令是所述移动终端 20在其上的寻址装置按键被点 击时发出的。 在此, 在一个例子中, 移动终端 20 可以通过测量从便携装置 10发送的信号在移动终端 20处接收的接收信号强度指示 (Received Signal Strength Indication, RSSI )的大小来对应于与所述便携装置 10的距离, 即在 接收信号强度指示 RSSI超出阈值范围时, 认为与所述便携装置 10的距离也 超出阈值范围,从而便携装置 10可以鸣叫或发光来告知用户。 与此同时, 该 移动终端 20本身也可以通过鸣叫或闪屏或提示对话框形式来通知用户。 如 此, 可以防止被控设备 10被盗、 丟失或因为距离太远而不安全。
在一个实施例中, 该便携装置 10还可以包括: 输入单元; 所述控制器 102还可以被配置为响应于所述输入单元被输入指令, 通过第一通信收发器 101向所述移动终端 20发送指令, 使得所述移动终端 20进行听觉或视觉提 醒、 或摄像头快门动作。 输入单元可以包括物理按键、 虚拟按键、 滑动杆、 音频输入、传感器输入等。这样,通过便携装置 10的输入单元被输入指令(例 如按键被按下), 可以使得移动终端 20进行听觉或视觉提醒, 例如发声或闪 屏,从而可以在用户寻找移动终端 20时提示用户移动终端 20在哪里。 同理, 通过便携装置 10的输入单元被输入指令(例如按键被按下), 还可以在移动 终端 20正处于摄像头拍摄进程中时进行快门动作,这样可以使得用户不需要 用手按压移动终端 20的快门按键就可以实现自拍动作。
另夕卜, 在仅存在一个按键的输入单元的情况下, 也可以设计长按(例如, 按压大于 1.5s )和短按(例如, 小于 1.5s )来区分不同的功能。 当然输入单 元的例子不限于此。
在一个实施例中, 该便携装置 10还可以包括: 气压传感器,被配置为传 感大气压力。 所述控制器 102还可以被配置为响应于所述气压传感器传感的 大气压力超出预定大气压力阈值范围, 而通过所述第一通信收发器 101向所 述移动终端 20发送指令,使得所述移动终端 20进行听觉或视觉提醒。这样, 可以在雷雨到来之前大气压力增大时,向移动终端 20的用户提醒,以便用户 及时收回被控设备 30。
在一个实施例中, 所述控制器 102还可以被配置为响应于解析得到的控 制命令为最高点拍摄命令, 而通过所述第二通信发射器 103向所述被控设备 30发射快门命令, 使得所述被控设备 30执行快门操作。 所述最高点拍摄命 令是所述移动终端 20在利用加速度传感器和 /或陀螺仪确定移动终端处于跳 跃最高点时发出的。 这在用户需要拍摄跳起时最高点的照片时很有用, 能够 准确判断持有移动终端 20跳跃的用户何时位于跳跃的最高点,而用户不需要 自行判断最高点时机。
在一个实施例中, 该便携装置 10还可以包括: 存储器,被配置为存储如 下中的至少一种: 被控设备类型和对应的可执行的操作类型; 控制命令中的 要执行的操作的类型和参数;控制命令的执行进度等。便携装置 10的控制器 102 可以被配置为响应于解析得到的控制命令是查询命令, 通过第一通信收 发器 101向移动终端 20发送存储器中存储的要查询的内容。这样,使得用户 通过不同的移动终端 20 (而不必须是当初下达控制命令的那个移动终端 20 ) 都可以从便携装置 10中查询到被控设备目前的状态、例如有无正在执行的任 务、被控设备类型和对应的可执行的操作类型、要执行的操作的类型和参数; 执行进度等。
如此,用户能够通过便携的便携装置 10就可以容易地利用同样便携的移 动装置 20来远程地、 无线地操控被控装置 30。 另外, 还可以利用便携装置 10和移动装置 20内置的各种传感器和其他部件、通过便携装置 10与移动装 置 20或被控设备 30之间的通信交互来实现各种实用的功能。 下面,为了示例方便而非限制,将详细介绍以移动终端 20是常见的移动 电话、被控设备 30是常见的单反相机、第一无线通信协议是蓝牙、第二无线
3. 自定义的命令标识符
图 3A是示出根据本公开的一个实施例的自定义的控制命令的标识符与 相机支持的例如红外线指令的对应关系的示例表 ( camREMOTE Profile ) ; 图 3B是示出根据本公开的一个实施例的相机类型标识符与支持的操作类型 标识符的示例表。
图 3A和图 3B所示的示例表可以存储在该便携装置 10中, 且在移动终 端 20中的应用程序中也约定了相同的控制命令的标识符集。
如图 3A的示例表 camREMOTE Profile所示, 示例地, 左侧第一栏表示 根据本公开的一个实施例的自定义的控制命令的短标识符 UUID, 第二栏表 示该 UUID的具体描述, 第三栏是值的长度, 第四栏表示定义, 第五栏是取 值, 第六栏是权限。 每个对应于相应的参数和操作。 例如, UUID为 OxCAOl 指的是接收红外线协议的相机品牌, 其取值包括图 3B所示的第二栏的相机 类型的 PTC编号, 即取值为 0x01则表示相机品牌为 SONY索尼, 而 0x02 表示相机品牌为 Canon佳能等等。 如此, 用户能够利用一个移动终端 20来 遥控不同的相机品牌,而仅需要用户在移动终端 20上输入或点击相应的相机 品牌, 则移动终端 20会通过蓝牙向便携装置 10中存储的上述 camREMOTE Profile表中写入与该相机品牌对应的 OxCAOl行的取值中写入对应的值(例 如 SONY索尼相机, 则值为 01 ) 。 然后, 便携装置 10中的控制器 102将配 置与 SONY索尼相机对应红外线指令集, 如图 3B所示。 这使得切换不同相 机品牌和 /或型号是非常快速的且便利的。
图 3A的 UUID为 0xCA02则表示立即快门操作, 其取值为 01 , 则表示 发送立即快门红外线指令, 而取值为 02则表示发送延时快门, 等等。 例如, 用户通过按压移动终端 20上的立即快门按键, 则移动终端 20通过蓝牙向便 携装置 10中存储的上述 camREMOTE Profile表中的 0xCA02行的取值中写 入相应值 01 , 然后, 便携装置 10通过红外线向相机发送对应的红外线指令, 从而相机可以进行立即的快门拍摄操作。
这样的短标识符 UUID的设计也能够使得在移动终端 20与便携装置 10 在蓝牙通信时传输较少的数据, 从而能够实现较低的丟包率、 传输及时性和 节电效果。
4.节电设计
图 4A和 4B分别是示出根据本公开的一个实施例的有助于利用移动终端 无线地控制被控设备的便携装置通过例如蓝牙通信协议与移动终端的广播速 率和通信速率的变化、 以用于节电目的的示例时序图。
便携装置 10内置的电源 104在上电 (或启动)后, 将使得所述控制器 102和所述第一信号收发器 101广播连接请求, 以便与例如蓝牙通信范围内 的移动终端 20建立通信连接。 在一个实施例中, 如果便携装置 10在预定超 时时间内未与移动终端 20连接成功, 例如在周围无移动终端 20、 移动终端 20掉电、 离线、 连接超时则连接失败, 或移动终端 20通过用户的选择而发 出终止连接命令时等, 则电源 104也可以进入广播模式。 在该广播模式中, 电源 104可以通过供应更低功率, 以更低速率广播连接请求, 例如, 发出广 播(Advertising )数据包(指示便携装置 10 的广播模式, 如永久广播或有限 广播)和请求(Request )数据包(可以包括便携装置 10本身的名称、 本地 名称等 ) (统称为 "连接请求" )。这两种数据包的发射频率 (Advertising Interval) 决定了便携装置 10的电力消耗与连接成功率之间的平衡。 例如, 以此 1.25s 的间隔(Advertising Interval )来广播连接请求, 例如一节 CR2032电池(按 照 180mha计算)可以发射 260天左右。 如此, 低的广播速率可以节省电力。
在一个实施例中,该更低速率也可以是可变的。可以在便携装置 10与移 动终端 20连接的可能性大于预定可能性的情况下,使得该第三速率大于预定 速率, 且在便携装置 10与移动终端 20连接的可能性不大于预定可能性的情 况下, 使得该第三速率不大于预定速率。 便携装置 10与移动终端 20连接的 可能性大于预定可能性的情况可以包括但不限于: 便携装置 10 的电源 104 开启后的一段时间; 便携装置 10与移动终端 20断开连接后的一段时间; 其 他用户可能连接便携装置 10和移动终端 20的情况等等。 例如, 如图 4A所 示, 在便携装置 10的电源 104首次启动(例如初次上电, 即用户刚打开便携 装置 10的电源 104 ) 的情况下 (此时认为用户想要尽快连接便携装置 10与 移动终端 20的可能性大) , 使用例如 1.25s的较短间隔来广播连接请求, 在 经过例如 1天之后仍未连接成功则改变为 2.5s的较长间隔来广播连接请求。 再例如, 在便携装置 10与移动终端 20断开连接后 (例如, 用户主动终止便 携装置 10与移动终端 20的连接, 或移动终端 20离线、掉电、或远离可连接 范围, 可以认为用户想要尽快再次想要重连的可能性较大) 的 1天之内, 使 用例如 1.25s的较短间隔来广播连接请求, 如果经过 1天之后仍未连接成功 则再次切换到 2.5s的较长间隔。 如此, 实践中, 一般一节 CR2032电池(按 照 180mha计算)可以持续 460天左右的续航时间, 这极大地提高了内置电 池的便携装置 10本身的可用性, 便于用户长时间地使用便携装置 10来遥控 被控设备 30, 且尽可能地避免了用户等待太长时间来连接便携装置 10和移 动终端 20, 使得在用户感觉连接性能、 通信性能良好的同时达到了节电的效 果。 当然这仅是示例而非限制。 如此可变速率的连接请求广播可以更进一步 地节省电力且极大地改善用户体验。
如此, 即使在连接不上移动终端、 或移动终端离线的情况下, 电源 104 也可以更低速广播连接请求, 从而进一步节省电力。
当然, 若在超时时间内完成连接, 则便携装置 10不再发射 Advertising 数据包和 Request数据包, 即不再处于广播模式, 而开始发送和接收与移动 终端 20通信用的含有数据帧的数据包,如上述利用第一速率和第二速率通信 的信息, 在此称为通信模式。 发送一个广播数据包和发送一个普通长度的数 据帧数据包的耗电量和持续时间是近似的。 所以, 如果广播模式的频率和连 接后通信模式的频率基本相等,则此便携装置 10在广播和通信状态下的能耗 基本一致。 而广播模式的频率比连接后通信模式的频率更低, 则便携装置 10 在广播模式下比在通信模式下的能耗更少。便携装置 10内置的电源 104在便 携装置与移动终端连接成功后, 可以向所述控制器 102和所述第一信号收发 器 101供应高功率, 以便所述控制器 102通过第一信号收发器 101以高速率 与所述移动终端 20交换基础数据(如图 4B的左侧所示, 通信速率较高, 周 期较短, 例如周期为例如 20-50ms ) 。 基础数据可以包括但不限于例如便携 装置的信息、移动终端的信息、移动终端发送的用户输入的相机类型和型号、 设置参数等等。 且在交换基础数据之后, 电源 104可以向所述控制器 102和 所述第一信号收发器 101供应低功率, 以便所述控制器 102通过第一信号收 发器 101以低速率与所述移动终端 20通信。该通信的数据可以包括但不限于 控制命令、 终止连接请求等等。 如图 4B的左侧所示, 通信速率较低, 周期 较长, 例如周期为例如 800-3000ms, 例如设置为 1000ms, 即每隔 1000ms 与移动终端 20通信一次, 其余时间可以休息。 当然, 便携装置 10的控制器 102还可以在初次交换基础数据时与移动终端 20约定任何速率的通信频率。 约定的通信频率越低, 越省电, 但相应地通信的及时性会受到影响, 反之, 通信频率越高, 越耗电, 而通信的及时性得到增强。
如此, 可以先利用高速的耗电力的通信进行连接通信所需的基础数据读 写, 例如, 移动设备 20扫描便携装置 10、 重连上次成功连接的便携装置 10、 请求便携装置 10的参数信息、便携装置 10向移动设备 20应答,并发送自己 的参数信息、 甚至是互相约定之后的通信频率; 然后, 在基础的通信连接完 成之后, 电源 104可以根据之前约定的通信频率转为低速低功耗地运行, 仅 在通信频率的时间周期到达时才启动与移动设备 20的通信,其余时间可以休 眠。 这样, 可以不仅高速地进行初次的连接通信, 减少用户的等待时间, 还 可以在初次的连接通信之后节电, 保持长久的使用时间, 给用户良好的用户 体验, 使得在用户感觉连接性能、 通信性能良好的同时达到了节电的效果。
本节电技术利用可选地例如初次连接或想要尽快连接时采用较高功率和 速率广播连接请求, 且可选地在一段时间内未连接成功后降低功率和速率, 且可选地在连接成功后先采用较高功率和速率交换基础数据, 并可选地在交 换了基础数据之后降低功率和速率来进行其他通信, 例如发送控制命令等, 这样创新性地、 极大地提高了电池的性能和持久力, 也增强了用户体验。
下面通过相机作为被控设备为例, 说明相机中常见的拍摄功能是如何通 过根据本公开的技术的各个实施例的便携装置 10来实现的。 5.立即快门功能、 立即调节光圏功能、 立即调节焦距功能 大多数单反相机都可以接收红外线指令, 因此用户首先可以将被控相机 30的红外线功能打开, 使得被控相机定时接收周围的红外线指令, 并且用户 可以在需要时关闭被控相机的休眠功能。 然后, 用户可以打开移动终端 20 的应用程序, 并打开移动终端 20的蓝牙功能。 这样, 用户可以通过该便携装 置 10中的应用程序来遥控被控相机所支持的立即快门、立即调节光圏、和立 即调节焦距等即时功能。
图 5示出了根据本公开的一个实施例的实现立即快门功能的移动装置界 面的示意图。
例如, 用户通过设置延时时间为 off, 并按压移动终端 20的应用程序中 的立即快门拍摄 ( fire )按键, 则移动终端 20可以通过蓝牙向便携装置 10的 第一信号收发器 101发送携带了立即拍摄的控制命令的蓝牙信号, 且便携装 置 10的控制器 102解析所接收的该蓝牙以得到了立即快门拍摄的控制命令, 可以通过图 3所示的各个表来生成要向被控相机 30发射的与所述立即快门拍 摄的控制命令相关的红外线信号, 并通过第二信号发射器 103向所述被控相 机 30发射所述与所述立即拍摄的控制命令相关的红外线信号,使得所述被控 相机 30根据该红外线信号执行立即快门拍摄的操作。
同理, 在支持立即调节光圏、 和立即调节焦距等即时功能的红外线指令 的相机的情况下, 通过便携装置 10, 也可以通过移动终端 20远程地操控这 种相机的上述即时功能, 在此不赘述。
如此,该便携装置 10可以使得用户能够远离被控相机,来进行相应操作, 从而可以远离恶劣环境或用户位于室内的温暖环境, 而远程地操控恶劣环境 下的相机, 极大地增强了用户体验。 6.延时摄影功能、延时快门功能、延时摄影中的手动快门调节功能和其 节电设计
图 6A是示出根据本公开的另一实施例的有助于利用移动终端无线地控 制被控设备的便携装置的结构框图。
如图 6A所示, 除了第一信号收发器 101、 控制器 102, 第二信号发射器 103、 电源 104以外, 该便携装置 10还可以包括: 定时器 105 , 所述控制器 102被配置为响应于解析得到的控制命令为延时摄影命令, 使得所述定时器 105 按照所述延时摄影命令中指示的拍照周期, 周期性地启动内置的电源供 电 104供电, 以便所述控制器 102生成与立即快门命令相关的红外线信号, 并通过所述第二信号发射器 103向所述被控设备 30发射所述红外线信号,使 得所述被控设备 30周期性地执行立即快门操作。
图 6B是示出根据本公开的一个实施例的实现延时摄影功能的移动终端 界面的示意图。例如,用户通过在移动终端 20的应用程序中的延时摄影界面 上选择拍摄的张数(FRAME )、 拍摄照片的间隔(INTERVAL )、 延时摄影 的总时长(TIMER )之后, 点击开始按键(Start ) , 则移动终端 20可以通过 蓝牙向便携装置 10的第一信号收发器 101发送携带了延时摄影操作类型和延 时摄影相关参数(例如, 张数、 间隔、 总时长等)的控制命令的蓝牙信号(在 一个例子中, 可以将这些参数平成一个 16 比特长度的数据) , 且便携装置 10的控制器 102解析所接收的该蓝牙信号以得到了包括了延时摄影操作类型 和延时摄影相关参数的控制命令, 然后可以向便携装置 10 存储的上述 camREMOTE profile表中的 0xCA04行的取值中写入这些数据。 同时可以向 定时器 105写入延时摄影的拍摄间隔的时间, 从而在定时器到期时, 生成要 向被控相机 30发射的与立即快门的控制命令相关的红外线信号,并通过第二 信号发射器 103向所述被控相机 30发射所述与所述立即快门的控制命令相关 的红外线信号,使得所述被控相机 30根据该红外线信号在特定时刻执行立即 快门拍摄的操作。
在这里, 由于大多数相机并不自带延时摄影的红外线指令, 因此, 本公 开的技术的该便携装置 10可以利用内置的定时器 105来定时发射立即快门的 红外线指令来实现延时摄影的功能。
图 6B所示的延时摄影的界面仅是示例, 用户还可以仅定义开始时间和 结束时间以及拍摄的张数, 由移动终端 20或便携装置 10自行换算成延时摄 影的时间间隔来写入定时器 105。
另外, 大多数延时摄影都是采用多个单次快门来拍摄的, 但是在某些情 况下, 比如拍摄日出的情况下, 可能需要开始相机的手动快门模式(Bulb门 模式, B门模式)来调节延时摄影中的每一张照片的快门速度, 以平衡进光 量, 避免出现过曝或欠曝, 在该情况下, 移动装置 20也可以向便携装置 10 发送携带手动快门模式和手动快门渐进等参数的控制命令, 即在拍摄每一张 照片时调节多少光圏大小,从而遥控被控相机 30进行手动快门模式的延时摄 影。
这样,即使在不支持延时快门等延时功能的红外线指令的相机的情况下, 通过便携装置 10中自带的定时器 105,也可以通过移动终端 20 (例如选择图 5所示的用户界面上的延时时间例如 3s, 并按下点击(fire ) )来利用定时器 105 中记录的延时时间, 来远程地操控这种相机的延时快门功能, 在此不赘 述。利用便携装置 10自带的定时器 105还可以在相机本身不支持例如任意时 间的延时快门的情况下, 利用自带的定时器 105来自定义任意的延时时间, 并在定时器 105到期时向被控相机 30发出立即快门指令,从而达到任意的延 时时间的延时快门的效果。
在进行延时摄影时,便携装置 10还可以在每拍摄完一张照片之后通过蓝 牙向移动终端 20发送数据来告知当前拍摄的照片张数, 然后, 移动终端 20 的应用程序可以立即更新拍摄张数、延时摄影剩余时间并显示在移动终端 20 的显示屏上, 从而给用户监视延时摄影的进度带来了好处。
如果用户通过移动终端 20点击终止当前延时摄影任务, 移动终端 20会 向便携装置 10发送该命令,且便携装置 10向存储的上述 camREMOTE profile 表中的 0xCA06行的取值中写入终止指令 0x04b, 从而终止便携装置 10的当 前任务。
如此,该便携装置 10可以使得用户能够远离被控相机,使得相机进行自 动的延时摄影等的操作, 从而可以首先远离恶劣环境或用户位于室内的温暖 环境, 而远程地操控恶劣环境下的相机, 还不需要在延时摄影所跨越的长时 间时停留在相机旁边, 甚至不需要一直持有移动终端 20, 就可以实现自动的 延时摄影等操作, 节省了用户的大量时间, 极大地增强了用户体验。 用户利 用这样拍摄的延时摄影的多张照片, 可以生成延时摄影视频等, 也给用户带 来了更多使用便携装置 10的乐趣。
图 6C是示出在延时摄影的情况下图 6 A所示的便携装置利用定时器通 过红外线通信协议向被控设备发射红外线信号、 以用于节电目的的示例时序 图。
如图 6C所示, 所述内置的电源 104可以在要向被控设备 30发射所述红 外线信号时才向第二信号发射器 103供电, 且在所述第二信号发射器 103发 射了红外线信号之后停止向第二信号发射器 103供电。 这可以使得在实现各 种延时功能的情况下,仅在实质需要向被控设备 30发射红外线信号的时刻来 操控被控设备 30时才用电,这能够很大程度地节省电力,保持长久的使用时 间,在不影响被控设备 30的各种自动延时操作的情况下给用户良好的用户体 验。 通常发射红外线信号的时间仅在例如大约 lms到 20ms之间不等, 因此 尤其在例如针对相机的延时摄影时, 假如用户要求每 1分钟拍摄一张照片, 一共拍摄 100张, 那么电源 104可以在每 1分钟周期到达时才供电例如 lms 来发射快门操作信号, 而不需要一直连续供电 100分钟, 如图 6B所示, 这 样大大节省了电力。
7.过远警报(防丢器)功能、 寻找装置功能
图 7A是示出根据本公开的另一实施例的有助于利用移动终端无线地控 制被控设备的便携装置的结构框图。
如图 7A所示, 除了第一信号收发器 101、 控制器 102, 第二信号发射器
103、 电源 104以外, 该便携装置 10还可以包括: 蜂鸣器和 /或发光二级管 106。
图 7B是示出图 7A所述的便携装置的蜂鸣器和 /或发光二级管位于的示 例物理位置。 如图 7B所示, 蜂鸣器和发光二极管 LED位于便携装置 10的 与第二信号发射器(例如, 红外线发射器) 103相同的一侧。 这在布局上可 以更紧凑。 且图 7B所示的例子中的红外线发射器可以是 2枚, 且分别背靠 背地放置在便携装置 10的 PCB(Printed Circuit Board)电路板的 2端, 以尽量 提高红外线发射的覆盖范围, 突破红外线定向发射接收的局限。 当然这仅是 示例而非限制。
图 7C是示出根据本公开的另一实施例的过远警报(防丟器)功能的移 动终端界面的示意图。
如图 7C所示, 移动终端 20可以通过测量从便携装置 10发送的信号在 移动终端 20处接收的接收信号强度指示( Received Signal Strength Indication, RSSI )的大小来对应于与所述便携装置 10的距离(如图 7C的雷达状距离)。 在接收信号强度指示 RSSI超出阈值范围时, 认为与所述便携装置 10的距离 也超出阈值范围, 从而移动终端 20向便携装置 10的第一信号收发器 101发 送距离过远警报命令的控制命令。便携装置 10的控制器 102可以响应于解析 得到的控制命令为距离过远警报命令, 触发所述蜂鸣器和 /或发光二级管 106 鸣叫和 /或发光。 当然, 与此同时, 除了便携装置 10的鸣叫或发光, 该移动 终端 20本身也可以通过鸣叫或闪屏或提示对话框形式来通知用户。如此,便 携装置 10可以鸣叫或发光或移动终端 20的各种提示可以告知用户便携装置 10 (以及与其连接在一起的被控设备 30 )与移动终端 20的距离过远了, 从 而能够防止被控设备 10被盗、 丟失或因为距离太远而不安全。
在另一例子(未示出) 中, 响应于便携装置 10 的所述第一信号收发器 101接收的信号功率低于预定功率阈值或所述内置的电源 104的电力低于预 定电力阈值, 触发所述蜂鸣器和 /或发光二级管 106鸣叫和 /或发光。 这样, 可以在便携装置 10 自己检测到远离了移动终端 20、 或自己的电力不足时才艮 警, 从而提示用户进行相应动作。
图 7D是示出根据本公开的另一实施例的寻找装置功能的移动终端界面 的示意图。
在另一例子中, 如果用户找不着相机所在的位置了, 则可以通过点击图 7D所示的移动终端 20的用户界面上的寻找装置按键来向便携装置 10发送寻 找装置的控制命令,而便携装置 10的控制器 102响应于解析得到的控制命令 为寻找装置命令, 触发所述蜂鸣器和 /或发光二级管 106鸣叫和 /或发光。 如 此, 用户可以通过移动终端 20和便携装置 10 中的蜂鸣器和 /或发光二级管 106来寻找便携装置 10以及其连接在一起的被控设备 30的位置。
8.移动终端自拍功能、 寻找移动终端功能
图 8A是示出根据本公开的另一实施例的有助于利用移动终端无线地控 制被控设备的便携装置的结构框图。
如图 8A所示, 除了第一信号收发器 101、 控制器 102, 第二信号发射器 103、 电源 104以外, 该便携装置 10还可以包括: 输入单元 107; 所述控制 器 102还可以被配置为响应于所述输入单元被输入指令, 通过第一通信收发 器 101向所述移动终端 20发送指令, 使得所述移动终端 20进行听觉或视觉 提醒、 或摄像头快门动作。 输入单元 107可以包括物理按键、 虚拟按键、 滑 动杆、 音频输入、 传感器输入等。
图 8B是示出图 8A所示的便携装置的输入单元的一个例子的外部物理形 状的示意图。如图 8B所示,便携装置 10上可以被配置有一个物理按键 107, 使得用户很容易按下该物理按键 107。 当然, 该物理按键 107及其大小和形 状都仅是示例而非限制。
这样, 如果用户想要通过便携装置 10来寻找移动终端 20, 也可以通过 输入单元 107输入指令(例如按键被按下 ) ,便携装置 10的控制器 102在接 收到输入单元 107的输入指令后, 可以通过第一信号收发器 101向移动终端 20发送例如按键被按下的指令, 可以使得移动终端 20相应地进行听觉或视 觉提醒,例如发声或闪屏,从而可以在用户寻找移动终端 20时提示用户移动 终端 20在哪里。
然后, 如果用户想要停止移动终端 20 的鸣叫等, 也可以通过输入单元 107输入指令(例如同样是按键被按下 ) , 便携装置 10的控制器 102在接收 到输入单元 107的输入指令后,可以通过第一信号收发器 101向移动终端 20 发送例如按键被按下的指令,可以使得移动终端 20相应地停止听觉或视觉提 醒。
