Abstract

A camera accessory for a portable electronic device is disclosed. The camera accessory, according to the present invention, comprises: a housing in which first and second optical paths are formed to cross each other, wherein the first optical path is formed to be directed to a camera module through a first light transmitting part at one side, and the second optical path is formed to be directed to a subject through a second light transmitting part at the other end; a reflection means installed at the location where the first and second optical paths cross each other; and a mounting means for coupling the housing to the portable electronic device. The camera accessory, according to the present invention, can rotate at various angles and can also adjust the angle of the reflection means to diversely select a photographing direction and a photographing angle of a camera mounted in a portable electronic device, thereby significantly enhancing user convenience. For example, a user can take a photo of his/her own face or figure with a camera module mounted on the rear surface of a portable electronic device and can take a photo of an object in front thereof even while the rear camera module is directed downward.

휴대용 전자기기를 위한 카메라용 액세서리Accessories for cameras for portable electronics
본 발명은 스마트폰 등과 같은 휴대용 전자기기의 카메라용 액세서리에 관한 것으로서, 구체적으로는 사용자가 촬영방향과 촬영자세를 다양하게 선택할 수 있도록 지원하는 카메라용 액세서리에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an accessory for a camera of a portable electronic device such as a smartphone, and more particularly, to an accessory for a camera that enables a user to select a photographing direction and a photographing posture in various ways.
최근 정보통신 기술의 급격한 발전에 힘입어 스마트폰, 태블릿PC 등과 같은 휴대용 전자기기의 사용이 보편화되고 있다. Recently, with the rapid development of information and communication technology, the use of portable electronic devices such as smart phones, tablet PCs, etc. is becoming common.
스마트폰은 이동통신 기능뿐만 아니라 카메라 기능을 포함하고, 무선인터넷이나 이동통신망을 통한 각종 메시지와 컨텐츠의 송수신 기능을 지원하므로 개인용 멀티미디어 기기로서 큰 인기를 얻고 있다.Smartphones have gained great popularity as personal multimedia devices because they include a camera function as well as a mobile communication function, and support a function of transmitting and receiving various messages and contents through a wireless Internet or a mobile communication network.
특히 카메라모듈의 소형화에 힘입어 스마트폰에 장착된 카메라의 성능이 급격히 향상되면서 스마트폰은 종래의 소형 디지털카메라까지 급속도로 대체하고 있는 실정이다.In particular, due to the miniaturization of the camera module, the performance of the camera mounted on the smart phone is rapidly improved, and the smart phone is rapidly replacing the conventional small digital camera.
일반적으로 스마트폰에는 전면과 배면에 각각 카메라모듈이 장착되며, 전면의 카메라모듈은 주로 화상통화용으로 사용되고 후면의 카메라모듈은 사진 또는 동영상 촬영용으로 사용된다. In general, the smartphone is equipped with a camera module on the front and back, respectively, the front camera module is mainly used for video calls and the rear camera module is used for photography or video shooting.
그런데 종래의 스마트폰 카메라를 사용하여 촬영할 때는 다음과 같은 몇 가지 단점이 있다.However, there are some disadvantages when shooting using a conventional smartphone camera.
첫째, 전면의 카메라모듈은 배면의 카메라모듈에 비해 해상도가 낮은 경우가 많기 때문에 사용자가 자신의 얼굴이나 모습을 찍을 때는 고해상도 이미지를 얻기 어려운 단점이 있다.First, since the front camera module often has a lower resolution than the rear camera module, it is difficult to obtain a high resolution image when the user takes his or her face or figure.
특허문헌 1은 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 것으로서, 내부에 카메라와 회전 가능한 반사수단이 설치된 이동통신단말기를 제안하고 있다. 그러나 특허문헌 1에 따르면 이동통신단말기의 내부에 반사수단을 회전 가능하도록 설치해야 하는데 이는 단말기의 슬림화 추세에 반하는 것이어서 상용화를 기대하기 어렵다. 또한 단말기 자체에 반사수단이 내장되므로 다른 기종 단말기 사용자들은 이러한 기능을 이용할 수 없어 범용성이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. Patent document 1 proposes a mobile communication terminal provided with a camera and a rotatable reflecting means to solve such a problem. However, according to Patent Document 1, it is necessary to install the reflecting means rotatably inside the mobile communication terminal, which is contrary to the slimming trend of the terminal, so it is difficult to expect commercialization. In addition, since the reflector is built in the terminal itself, other model terminal users cannot use such a function, so there is a disadvantage that the versatility is low.
둘째, 대부분의 스마트폰에는 배면 카메라모듈의 일측에만 플래시가 설치되므로 종래의 스마트폰으로는 야간에 자신의 얼굴이나 모습을 촬영하는 것이 불가능하다. 이러한 점은 특허문헌 1의 이동통신단말기도 마찬가지이다. 즉, 특허문헌 1의 이동통신단말기에서 카메라를 사용자 측으로 회전시키더라도 플래시는 여전히 반대쪽을 향하고 있기 때문에 야간에 자신의 얼굴이나 모습을 촬영하기는 어렵다.Second, most smartphones have a flash installed only on one side of the rear camera module, so it is impossible to photograph their face or figure at night with a conventional smartphone. This also applies to the mobile communication terminal of Patent Document 1. That is, even when the camera is rotated to the user side in the mobile communication terminal of Patent Document 1, since the flash is still facing the other side, it is difficult to photograph their face or figure at night.
셋째, 카메라모듈의 위치가 고정되어 있기 때문에 촬영자세를 다양하게 취하기 어려운 단점이 있다. 즉, 전면 카메라모듈을 사용하든 배면 카메라모듈을 사용하든, 사용자는 반드시 카메라렌즈가 촬영대상을 향하도록 스마트폰을 세운 상태로 촬영을 해야 한다. 그러나 촬영대상의 위치에 따라서는 카메라렌즈가 촬영대상을 향하도록 스마트폰의 자세를 잡는 것이 불가능한 경우도 있기 때문에 종래의 스마트폰으로는 촬영자세나 촬영각도에 일정한 한계가 있다.Third, since the position of the camera module is fixed, it is difficult to take a variety of shooting postures. That is, whether the front camera module or the rear camera module is used, the user must shoot with the smartphone upright so that the camera lens faces the shooting target. However, depending on the position of the shooting object, it may not be possible to position the smartphone so that the camera lens faces the shooting object, so that the conventional smartphone has a certain limitation in shooting posture or shooting angle.
넷째, 스마트폰에 장착된 플래시는 카메라 촬영을 위한 것이어서 발광시 빛이 전방으로 너무 넓게 분산되고, 이로 인해 손전등이나 조명용으로 활용하는데 한계가 있다.Fourth, the flash mounted on the smartphone is for camera shooting so that the light is distributed too far forward when emitting, there is a limit to use for flashlight or lighting.
