Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable easy capturing of a high quality digital image with a smartphone of widely use, by connecting an external device camera and using a CMOS sensor control application operated on the smartphone.SOLUTION: A CMOS sensor and a control circuit therefor are USB connected to the smartphone of widely use to which a camera lens is attached. Smartphone application software uniquely used is developed to execute the control and the operation of a shutter speed, an iris, an exposure, and the CMOS sensor. Various camera lenses are selectable for capturing. The captured image data is preserved in a data preservation area of the smartphone. The captured image is visible by using a viewer of the smartphone. Further, the image data is transmittable by using the communication function of the smartphone.

Description

Translated fromJapanese

本発明は、一般に普及しているスマートフォンとそのスマートフォン上で作動する独自開発のアプリケーションソフトを利用し、
CMOSイメージセンサーとカメラ用レンズとそのマウントからなる外部装置をUSBを介して接続することで写真の撮影を可能とする、スマートフォン用外部接続カメラである。
また交換式のレンズマウント採用し、多彩なカメラ用レンズを使用できる。
The present invention uses a generally popular smartphone and application software developed on the smartphone,
This is an externally connected camera for smartphones that enables photography to be taken by connecting an external device comprising a CMOS image sensor, a camera lens and its mount via USB.
In addition, an interchangeable lens mount can be used to use a variety of camera lenses.

従来、スマートフォンで写真を撮影する場合、内臓のカメラで撮影するしかない。レンズとセンサーが小型な為、撮影画素数も低く、画質的に十分な写真とは言えない。一般的に高画質な写真、画像を得ようとすると高価なカメラボディーとレンズを準備する必要があり購入には多くの費用がかかる。また一般的にそれらは大型で重量もあり、持ち歩きには相応の労力を必要とする。Conventionally, when taking a picture with a smartphone, there is no choice but to take it with a built-in camera. Because the lens and sensor are small, the number of pixels is low, so it cannot be said that the picture is sufficient in terms of image quality. Generally, in order to obtain high-quality photos and images, it is necessary to prepare an expensive camera body and lens, and the purchase is expensive. In general, they are large and heavy, and require a considerable amount of labor to carry.

発明が解決しようする課題Problems to be solved by the invention

スマートフォンで手軽に高画質な写真を撮影しようとする時、次のような問題点がある。
取り扱いは手軽だがスマートフォン内臓カメラでは引き伸ばしプリント等に使用出来る高画質、高画素数の写真を撮影することは出来ない。これらの問題を解決するために本発明を考案した。
When trying to take high-quality photos easily with a smartphone, there are the following problems.
Although it is easy to handle, the smartphone's built-in camera cannot take pictures with high image quality and high pixel count that can be used for enlargement printing. The present invention has been devised to solve these problems.

課題を解決するための手段Means for solving the problem

一般に広く普及しているスマートフォンにカメラ用レンズを付けたCMOSセンサーとその制御回路をUSB接続する。シャッタースピード、絞り、露出、CMOSセンサの制御、操作は独自に使用するスマートフォンのアプリケーションソフトを開発し、それにて行う。撮影した画像データはスマートフォンのデータ保存領域に保存される。スマートフォンのビューアーで撮影した画像を見ることが出来る。
またその通信機能を使って、画像データを送信できる。
A CMOS sensor with a camera lens attached to a widely used smartphone is connected to the control circuit via USB. Shutter speed, aperture, exposure, control and operation of CMOS sensor will be developed and used for smartphone application software. The captured image data is stored in the data storage area of the smartphone. You can view images taken with the smartphone viewer.
In addition, image data can be transmitted using the communication function.

発明の効果Effect of the invention

一般に広く普及しているスマートフォンの機能を利用し、必要なセンサーのみを外部に接続するので使用者は必要最小限の装置、カメラ用レンズを購入するだけで、さまざまなレンズを使用し高画質な写真を撮影することが出来る。In general, smartphones that are widely used are used, and only necessary sensors are connected to the outside. Therefore, users can purchase various devices and camera lenses, and use various lenses for high image quality. You can take a photo.

イ、本発明、スマートフォン外部接続デバイスカメラは、一般に普及しているスマートフォンのコンピュータ部分を写真撮影用のCMOSセンサーの制御に使用するため、使用者はカメラ本体を購入する必要がなく、必要な外部接続装置を購入するだけで高画質な写真を撮影することが出来る。
ロ、半発明の外部接続デバイスを制御、機能させるために、スマートフォン上で作動するアプリケーションを一般の開発者向けのアプリケーション開発ソフトで開発、製作し外部接続デバイスカメラでの写真撮影を可能とする。
ハ、本発明の外部接続デバイスカメラは、カメラ用レンズの取り付け方法も工夫がされており、一般的なレンズ交換式カメラでは、CMOSセンサーとレンズ側マウントにフランジバックと呼ばれる10数ミリ〜数10mmの距離がメーカー毎に独自に設定されているが、本発明は、CMOSセンサーからレンズ側にかけては固定されたレンズマウントは構造的に存在せず、使用者が任意にレンズマウントを準備、任意のカメラ用レンズが使用できるように配慮されている。ただしレンズマウントを固定するためのボルト穴はCMOSセンサー面と同一の平面上に開けられている。
ニ、本発明により、使用者は必要最小限の装置を購入するだけで、任意に選ぶ多様なカメラレンズを使用し高画質な写真撮影を行うことが出来る。
B. The present invention, the smartphone external connection device camera uses the computer part of the smartphone that is widely used for controlling the CMOS sensor for photography, so the user does not need to purchase the camera body, High-quality photos can be taken simply by purchasing a connection device.
In order to control and function the externally connected device of the semi-invention, an application that operates on a smartphone is developed and produced by application development software for general developers, and photography with the externally connected device camera becomes possible.
C. The externally connected device camera of the present invention is devised in terms of how to attach the lens for the camera. In a general interchangeable lens camera, the CMOS sensor and the lens side mount are called a flange back of several tens of millimeters to several tens of millimeters. However, the present invention does not have a lens mount that is fixed from the CMOS sensor to the lens side, and the user arbitrarily prepares the lens mount. Consideration is given to the use of camera lenses. However, the bolt holes for fixing the lens mount are opened on the same plane as the CMOS sensor surface.
D. According to the present invention, the user can take a high-quality picture by using various camera lenses that can be arbitrarily selected by purchasing the minimum necessary apparatus.

次項図1は本発明の基本的な部品構成を図にしたものである。図は左から、4部位に分かれて書かれており、左からスマートフォン、CMOSセンサと制御回路を筐体内に内蔵した箱状のユニット、脱着式のレンズ固定マウント、任意のカメラ用レンズが図示されている。Next FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the basic component structure of the present invention. The figure is divided into four parts from the left. From the left, a smartphone, a box-shaped unit with a built-in CMOS sensor and control circuit, a removable lens fixing mount, and an optional camera lens are shown. ing.次項、図2は上記の4部位の接続、固定方法を図示している。本発明の装置はそれぞれの部位に取り付けられているクリップ、レンズマウントによりお互いに固定されるので、使用者は一つのカメラの様に取り扱うことができる。The next item, FIG. 2, illustrates the connection and fixing method of the above four parts. Since the apparatus of the present invention is fixed to each other by a clip and a lens mount attached to each part, the user can handle like a single camera.
