[0070] The following is combined Figures 1 to 32 This application describes a camera module 100 and a smart electronic device according to embodiments thereof.

[0071] like Figures 1 to 32 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, a camera module 100 is provided according to a first aspect of this application, applied to a head-mounted device 200, comprising: a first airbag 1, the first airbag 1 being fixable to the head-mounted device 200, the first airbag 1 having a first sidewall 11, the wall thickness of the first sidewall 11 gradually thinning along a first direction (refer to the X direction in the figures), the first airbag 1 having an initial state and an inflated state; a camera module 2, the camera module 2 being disposed on the first sidewall 11, used to acquire image information and capable of transmitting the image information to the head-mounted device 200; when the first airbag 1 switches between the initial state and the inflated state, the angle of the camera module 2 relative to the head-mounted device 200 can be adjusted.

[0072] Specifically, in this embodiment, the provided camera module 100 can be applied to the head-mounted device 200 to acquire image information of the user's face or other body parts, for reference. Figure 10 and Figure 12 This allows for reasonable control of the head-mounted device 200 based on the acquired image information. By placing the camera module 2 on the first sidewall 11 of the first airbag 1 and gradually thinning the wall thickness of the first sidewall 11 along a first direction, the different thicknesses of the first sidewall 11 result in different expansion effects at different positions when the first airbag 1 switches between its initial and inflated states. This manifests as the camera module 2 rotating at a certain angle, while the first airbag 1 remains fixed to the head-mounted device 200. This allows the camera module 2 to have different angles or tilts relative to the head-mounted device 200. When the head-mounted device 200 is worn on the user's head 300, this improves the visual range of the camera module 2 in acquiring image information and the accuracy of capturing image information of the target object.

[0073] In the above embodiments, the first airbag 1 can be made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity, such as silicone, and formed into a specific shape. For example, the first airbag 1 can be designed as a cuboid. Figures 3 to 5As shown, its initial state can be the natural state of the first airbag 1 being inflated from its original position within the cuboid. The inflated state can be the state where the first airbag 1 is further inflated, causing the first sidewall 11 to exhibit different expansion effects at different locations due to variations in wall thickness. At this point, the shape of the first airbag 1 no longer maintains its initial cuboid shape, but rather the shape where the first sidewall 11 forms an angle with its original position, allowing the camera module 2 mounted on the first sidewall 11 to change angle accordingly. The camera module 2 typically includes components such as a lens 21 and an FPC 22. The lens 21 is primarily used to acquire image information, while the FPC 22 and other components are typically used to transmit or process image information. Therefore, the angle of the camera module 2 usually refers to the angle of the lens 21.

[0074] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the switching between the initial state and the inflated state of the first airbag 1 can be achieved by inflating or deflating, for example, by using an inflation / deflation motor for automated inflation / deflation, or by manual switching; this application does not limit this. In practical applications, multiple camera modules 100 can be set, each fixed to different positions of the head-mounted device 200 by the first airbag 1, as shown in the reference. Figure 16 This is to further expand the visual range and improve the accuracy of capturing image information.

[0075] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first airbag 1 also has a second sidewall 12, which is connected to the thin-walled side of the first sidewall 11. The wall thickness of the second sidewall 12 gradually decreases from the side away from the thin-walled side to the side closer to the thin-walled side (refer to the Y direction in the attached figure).

[0076] Specifically, in practical applications, when the first airbag 1 switches from its initial state to its inflated state, the thin-walled side of the first sidewall 11 will shift significantly relative to its original position to adjust the angle or tilt of the camera module 2 fixed to the first sidewall 11. The wall thickness of the second sidewall 12 adjacent to the first sidewall 11 is designed to gradually decrease from the side away from the thin-walled side to the side closer to the thin-walled side. That is, the wall thickness of the second sidewall 12 near the thin-walled side of the first sidewall 11 is thinner, so that when the thin-walled side of the first sidewall 11 expands and deforms, the corresponding position of the second sidewall 12 can also experience a more significant expansion effect. (Refer to...) Figure 14 and Figure 15 This avoids the deformation of the first sidewall 11 being restrained by the second sidewall 12, thus improving the precise control of the expansion effect of the first sidewall 11.

[0077] In practical applications, the second sidewall 12 can also be configured as a thin-walled region of a certain length only in the position adjacent to the first sidewall 11. The specific configuration is determined according to actual needs, and this application does not impose any restrictions on it.

[0078] Optionally, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the camera module 100 also includes a cover plate 3, and the camera module 2 is fixed on the cover plate 3; a mounting hole 13 is provided on the first side wall 11, the cover plate 3 is attached to the surface of the first side wall 11, and the camera module 2 is sealed and embedded in the mounting hole 13.

[0079] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cover plate 3 enables the camera module 2 to be reliably fixed at the set position of the first sidewall 11. On the other hand, it enables the first airbag 1 to have a relatively flat first sidewall 11 in the initial state. This allows the cover plate 3 to cover the positions of the first airbag 1 and the camera module 2, except for the lens 21, when the first airbag 1 is fixed to the head-mounted device 200, thereby improving the appearance of the head-mounted device 200.

[0080] For example, in some embodiments, the first airbag 1 is designed to be rectangular, and the main structure of the headgear 200 can be provided with a groove structure, so that each side wall of the cuboid is embedded in the groove, and the first side wall 11 is located on the opening side of the groove. The cover plate 3 is placed on the first side wall 11 and covers the opening of the groove. The cover plate 3 can be provided with a through hole 31, so that the camera module 2 only exposes the lens 21 through the through hole 31 through the cover plate 3. Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this achieves the concealment of the camera module 2 and the first airbag 1 on the one hand, and does not affect the lens 21's ability to capture image information on the other.

[0081] Optionally, such as Figures 23 to 24 As shown, the camera module 100 also includes an inflation / deflation device 4, which is connected to the first airbag 1 via a first air pipe 14. The inflation / deflation device 4 is used to control the first airbag 1 to switch between an initial state and an inflated state.

[0082] Specifically, in this embodiment, the switching between the initial state and the inflated state of the first airbag 1 can be achieved through the inflation / deflation device 4. The first airbag 1 can be connected to the inflation / deflation device 4 through the first air tube 14. When it is necessary to inflate or deflate the first airbag 1, it can be automatically achieved through the inflation / deflation device 4, which improves the automation level of the camera module 100 and is beneficial to controlling the inflation / deflation degree of the first airbag 1, thereby achieving precise control of the tilt or angle of the camera module 2. In practical applications, the inflation / deflation device 4 can be connected to the main control circuit of the head-mounted device 200 to achieve overall automated control of all parts of the head-mounted device 200.

[0083] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the camera module 2 is located at the center of the first sidewall 11 along the first direction.

[0084] Specifically, in practical applications, the position of the camera module 2 on the first sidewall 11 affects the degree of displacement of the camera module 2. For example, when the camera module 2 is set on the thick wall side of the first sidewall 11, the expansion effect of the thick wall side is not obvious, resulting in less obvious angle adjustment of the camera module 2. However, when the camera module 2 is set on the thin wall side of the first sidewall 11, the expansion effect of the thin wall side is too obvious, resulting in poor accuracy of angle adjustment of the camera module 2.

[0085] In this embodiment, by setting the camera module 2 at the center position of the first sidewall 11 along the first direction, that is, in the middle of the thin wall side and the thick wall side, the angle control of the camera module 2 can achieve both significant positional changes and ensure its movement accuracy, thereby improving the accuracy of image information acquisition by the camera module 100.

[0086] According to the second aspect of this application, such as Figures 6 to 32 As shown, a smart electronic device is provided, including: a head-mounted device 200 and a camera module 100 in the first aspect, wherein the camera module 100 is fixed to the head-mounted device 200 by a first airbag 1.

[0087] Specifically, in this embodiment, the intelligent electronic device includes a head-mounted device 200 and a camera module 100. The camera module 100, through changes in the state of the first airbag 1, can change its angle or tilt relative to the head-mounted device 200, enabling it to have a larger visual range and more accurate capture effect when acquiring image information. The image information acquired by the camera module 100 can be transmitted to the head-mounted device 200, allowing the head-mounted device 200 to adjust its specific functions accordingly based on the acquired image information.

[0088] For example, in some embodiments, the head-mounted device 200 is AR or VR virtual reality glasses, and the camera module 100 can be fixed to the main frame of the head-mounted device 200 to identify the user's facial information or pupil information. When the head-mounted device 200 is worn on different users' heads 300, the angle of the lens 21 of the camera module 100 can be matched to the face or pupil of different users by controlling the inflation and deflation state of the first airbag 1, thereby achieving the effect of accurately capturing the user's facial information or pupil information. (Refer to...) Figure 10 , Figures 12 to 16 As shown, this improves the user experience.

[0089] In practical applications, the head-mounted device 200 can be equipped with one camera module 100, or multiple camera modules 100 can be set according to actual needs, to achieve accurate capture of the user's facial information or aperture information. For example... Figure 10 and Figure 12The diagram shows a user illustration of a camera module 100 mounted on a frame of a head-mounted device 200. Figure 16 This is a schematic diagram showing the use of three camera modules 100 set on one of the frames of the head-mounted device 200. It can be seen that more camera modules 100 can more accurately obtain different movement information of the user's eyes 10, such as blinking and viewing direction, so as to cooperate with the head-mounted device 200 to achieve specific functions.

[0090] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 2 ,as well as Figures 6 to 16 As shown, the head-mounted device 200 includes a wearing part 5 and a main frame 6 fixed to the wearing part 5. The camera module 100 is fixed to the main frame 6 via a first airbag 1 and is used to acquire the user's facial image information.

[0091] Specifically, in this embodiment, the camera module 100 is fixed to the main frame 6 via the first airbag 1, enabling the camera module 100 to acquire the user's facial information, especially pupil information, through state switching, to adapt to the main functions of the existing head-mounted device 200, such as taking photos by recognizing the user's blinking or aiming at virtual targets by recognizing the user's visual direction. The camera module 100 is fixed to the main frame 6 via the first airbag 1, which can be achieved by directly pasting it onto the main frame 6, embedding it in a groove, or using other fixing methods; this application does not limit this.

[0092] Optionally, such as Figures 17 to 21 ,as well as Figures 27 to 32 As shown, the smart electronic device also includes a second airbag 7, which has an initial state and an inflated state. The second airbag 7 is located on the side of the main frame 6 facing the user's face, so that when the second airbag 7 is inflated, it can contact the user's face.

[0093] Specifically, in this embodiment, the smart electronic device includes a second airbag 7, which, in practical applications, allows the second airbag 7 to contact the user's face when inflated, thereby achieving a seal at a specific location. For example, in AR, VR, and other virtual reality head-mounted glasses devices, by setting a second airbag 7 of a specific shape on the side of the main frame 6 facing the user's face, such as setting two airbags corresponding to the periphery of the user's eyes 10, the second airbag 7 can expand to fit the skin around the user's eyes 10 when inflated, thereby sealing the user's eyes 10 and preventing external light from interfering with the virtual scene of the head-mounted device 200, thus providing a better visual effect. (Refer to...) Figure 28 In practical applications, the shape of the second airbag 7 can be customized to match the specific requirements of the head-mounted device 200, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0094] Optionally, such as Figures 18 to 22 ,as well as Figures 27 to 32 As shown, the main frame 6 includes a left frame 61, a right frame 62, and a connecting part 63 connecting the left frame 61 and the right frame 62; the left frame 61 and / or the right frame 62 are respectively provided with a second airbag 7, and the left frame 61 and / or the right frame 62 are respectively provided with one or more camera modules 100.

[0095] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the left and right eyepiece frames 61 and 62 can be equipped with a second airbag 7, or only one frame can have an airbag. This allows the user to seal the periphery of the left or right eye 10 by switching the second airbag 7 to an inflatable state according to actual needs, improving the usability of the head-mounted device 200. (Refer to...) Figure 20 and Figure 28 Additionally, camera modules 100 can be simultaneously mounted on the left and right lens frames 61 and 62 to capture image information for the user's left and right eyes respectively. This enables the head-mounted device 200 to perform matching based on the image information fed back by the camera modules 100. (See reference...) Figure 28 Of course, the camera module 100 can also be set on only one of the left and right frames 61, and this application does not limit this.

[0096] In the above embodiments, the second airbag 7 can be directly bonded to the left frame 61 and / or the right frame 62, or it can be fixed by structural improvements to the left frame 61 and / or the right frame 62. The camera module 100 can also be fixed by bonding the first airbag 1 to the left frame 61 or the right frame 62, or by structural improvements to the left frame 61 and / or the right frame 62. This application does not impose any limitations on these aspects. Furthermore, the switching between the first airbag 1 and the second airbag 7 in the initial state and the inflated state can be achieved through the same inflation / deflation device 4, as described in the reference... Figure 23 It can also be achieved through different inflation / deflation devices 4, or it can all be achieved through manual inflation / deflation, and there are no restrictions on this.

[0097] Optionally, such as Figures 17 to 22 As shown, the outer sidewall 611 of the left frame 61 and / or the right frame 62 facing the user's face is provided with a first groove 64, and the second airbag 7 is fixed in the first groove 64 and extends around the periphery of the left frame 61 or the right frame 62; and / or, the inner sidewall 612 of the left frame 61 and / or the right frame 62 is also provided with a second groove 65, and the camera module 100 is embedded in the second groove 65.

[0098] Specifically, in this embodiment, a first groove 64 is provided on the outer sidewall 611 of the left frame 61 and / or the right frame 62 facing the user's face, allowing the second airbag 7 to be embedded in the first groove 64 for fixation on the left frame 61 or the right frame 62. The second airbag 7 is designed to extend around the periphery of the left frame 61 or the right frame 62, so that in practical applications, when the second airbag 7 is inflated, the expansion of the third sidewall 74 of the second airbag 7 can seal the user's eyes 10, achieving a better visual effect. Figures 20 to 21 As shown; and when the second airbag 7 is in its initial state, the third sidewall 74 can be flush with the outer sidewall 611 of the main frame 6, and the remaining fourth sidewall 75 of the second sidewall can be bonded to the sidewall of the first groove, as shown. Figures 18 to 19 As shown, this improves the aesthetic appearance and structural reliability of the head-mounted device 200.

[0099] In addition, the inner sidewall 612 of the left frame 61 and / or the right frame 62 is provided with a second groove 65, so that the first airbag 1 can be fixed to the camera module 100 by being embedded in the second groove 65, and when the camera module 100 is in the initial state, it can be flush with the inner sidewall 612 of the main frame 6, further improving the appearance of the head-mounted device 200, such as Figures 6 to 10 ,as well as Figure 14 As shown; when the first airbag 1 is inflated, the lens 21 of the camera module 100 has a better visual range and greater accuracy in acquiring image information of the captured object, thereby improving the reliability of the head-mounted device 200 in realizing its functions, such as Figures 11 to 13 ,as well as Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown. In this context, the inner wall 612 of the left frame 61 and / or the right frame 62 refers to the side wall facing the center of the frame, which facilitates the installation of the camera module 100 and image acquisition.

[0100] Optionally, such as Figures 23 to 26 As shown, the intelligent electronic device also includes an inflation / deflation device 4. The first airbag 1 is connected to the inflation / deflation device 4 through a first air tube 14, and the second airbag 7 is connected to the inflation / deflation device 4 through a second air tube 71. The inflation / deflation device 4 is used to control the switching between the first airbag 1 and / or the second airbag 7 in the initial state and the inflated state.

[0101] Specifically, in this embodiment, the inflation and deflation of the first airbag 1 and the second airbag 7 can be achieved through the same inflation and deflation device 4, which saves on the number of components in the smart electronic device and also facilitates the miniaturization of the smart electronic device. The first airbag 1 and the second airbag 7 are connected by the first air tube 14 and the second air tube 71, respectively. This allows the first airbag 1 and the second airbag 7 to be positioned at specific locations on the main frame according to actual needs in practical applications, and the inflation and deflation device 4 can also be positioned in a location that does not affect the visual effect of the head-mounted device 200, thereby improving the structural rationality of the smart electronic device.

[0102] Optionally, such as Figures 17 to 20 ,as well as Figures 29 to 32 As shown, the connecting part 63 is provided with a receiving cavity 66, and the inflation / deflation device 4 is provided in the receiving cavity 66.

[0103] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first airbag 1 and the second airbag 7 are typically disposed on the left frame 61 and the right frame 62, respectively. The inflation / deflation device 4 is disposed within the receiving cavity 66 of the connecting portion 63 that connects the left frame 61 and the right frame 62. This facilitates the connection of the inflation / deflation device 4 to the first airbag 1 and the second airbag 7, respectively, without affecting the inflation effect of the first airbag 1 and the second airbag 7. The receiving cavity 66 can be in the form of a groove or a cavity; this application does not limit this. Furthermore, the first air tube 14 and the second air tube 71 can pass through the main frame to connect the inflation / deflation device 4 to the first airbag 1 and the second airbag 7, respectively.

[0104] Optionally, such as Figures 29 to 32 As shown, the second airbag 7 includes multiple sub-airbags 72, which are distributed in a circle around the left or right mirror frame 61 and connected to the inflation / deflation device 4 via air distribution pipes 73.

[0105] Specifically, in practical applications, users' eye sockets are usually uneven. This application divides the second airbag 7 into multiple sub-airbags 72, allowing different sub-airbags 72 to be inflated to different degrees according to actual needs. This enables each sub-airbag 72 of the second airbag 7 to have different inflation states for different positions of the user's eye socket, while also achieving a seal for the entire eye socket, thus improving the usability of the head-mounted device 200. In addition, each sub-airbag 72 is connected to the inflation / deflation device 4, enabling the inflation / deflation control of multiple sub-airbags 72 through a single drive unit, simplifying the structure of the entire head-mounted device 200.

[0106] The individual airbags 72 are fixed by creating a first groove 64 around the main frame 6 near the eye socket, and then sequentially placing each airbag 72 within the first groove 64. The contact surfaces of each airbag 72 with the first groove 64 are bonded with adhesive or the like, and the exposed sides can achieve different expansion effects under the control of the charging and discharging motor, thereby achieving a more comfortable sealing effect.

[0107] Optionally, such as Figures 29 to 32 As shown, the intelligent electronic device also includes multiple pressure sensors 8, which are respectively and correspondingly set on the side of the multiple airbags 72 facing the user's face, for detecting the pressure of each airbag 72.

[0108] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pressure sensor 8 on each airbag 72 is used to detect the pressure exerted by each airbag 72 on the user's eye socket. The inflation / deflation device 4 can control the inflation effect of different airbags 72 based on the detected pressure data, further improving the automation control effect of the intelligent electronic device and the user's comfort. The pressure sensor 8 can be a patch-type pressure sensor, as shown in the reference... Figure 31 This is to avoid causing discomfort to the user due to pressure sensor 8.

[0109] Optionally, such as Figure 23 As shown, the intelligent electronic device also includes a control module 9, and the camera module 2, the inflation / deflation device 4, and multiple pressure sensors 8 are all electrically connected to the control module 9.

[0110] Specifically, in this embodiment, the control module 9 can control the functions of each part of the entire intelligent electronic device. That is, the camera module 2, the inflation / deflation device 4, and the pressure sensor 8 are all electrically connected to the control module 9, so that the control module 9 can control the expression of virtual reality and other visual effects of the head-mounted device 200 according to the image information collected by the camera module 2. It can also control the inflation / deflation device 4 to control the inflation effect of each air bladder 72 by the pressure of each air bladder 72 collected by the pressure sensor 8, thereby improving the overall automation of the entire intelligent electronic device.
