Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, and in particular to an electronic equipment. Background Art
[0002] Current electronic devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, and learning machines, are generally equipped with cameras, which are usually transparent structures. On the one hand, third-party software in electronic devices can maliciously activate the camera, easily causing user privacy leakage; on the other hand, if the camera is turned on without the user's knowledge, it is difficult for the user to detect. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides an electronic device with ingenious design and simple structure. By setting a fuzzy light-transmitting member, the first camera can only obtain fuzzy image data, for example, it can only capture the main characteristic movements of the human body, but cannot obtain clear image data, which protects the privacy of the user. In addition, the user does not need to consider whether the first camera is turned on, which reduces the psychological burden of the user. The technical solution adopted by the present application is as follows:
[0004] An electronic device includes a shell, a transparent cover and a first camera, wherein the transparent cover is covered on the shell, the first camera is installed in the shell, and a fuzzy light-transmitting component is provided on the path of light received by the first camera, and the fuzzy light-transmitting component can only enable the first camera to obtain unclear image data of the subject.
[0005] By setting up a fuzzy light-transmitting component, the first camera can only obtain blurred image data, for example, it can only capture the main characteristic movements of the human body, but cannot obtain clear image data. This protects the user's privacy. In addition, the user does not need to consider whether the first camera is turned on, which reduces the user's psychological burden.
[0006] In some embodiments, the transparent cover plate is disposed on the first camera, and a portion of the transparent cover plate corresponding to the first camera is blurred to form the blurred light-transmitting member.
[0007] A blurred light-transmitting component is formed by blurring the portion of the transparent cover corresponding to the first camera. That is, the blurred light-transmitting component is a part of the transparent cover. This eliminates the need to separately set up the blurred light-transmitting component, thus saving the installation process of the blurred light-transmitting component.
[0008] In some embodiments, the blurred portion of the transparent cover is located on a side of the transparent cover close to the first camera.
[0009] A blurred light-transmitting member is formed by blurring the side of the transparent cover plate close to the first camera, that is, the blurred portion is located on the inner side (inner surface) of the transparent cover plate. Compared with blurring the side of the transparent cover plate far from the first camera, the blurred portion is set on the inner side of the transparent cover plate, so that the blurred portion is not easily contaminated during the use of the electronic device, such as being covered by oil stains, dust, etc., and it is also convenient to wipe the transparent cover plate.
[0010] In some embodiments, the transparent cover plate is disposed on the first camera, and the blurring light-transmitting component is installed between the transparent cover plate and the first camera.
[0011] The blurred light-transmitting component is arranged between the transparent cover plate and the first camera, so that there is no need to blur the light-transmitting cover plate or the first camera, and there is no need to change the original production process of the light-transmitting cover plate and the first camera. In other words, the blurred light-transmitting component is relatively independent and can be produced and processed independently, avoiding the risk of damage or even scrapping of the light-transmitting cover plate or the first camera due to the blurring process on the light-transmitting cover plate or the first camera.
[0012] In some embodiments, the lens of the first camera is blurred to form the blurred light-transmitting element.
[0013] The blurred light-transmitting component is formed by blurring the lens of the first camera. That is to say, the blurred light-transmitting component is a part of the lens of the first camera. In this way, there is no need to set up the blurred light-transmitting component separately, thus saving the installation process of the blurred light-transmitting component.
[0014] In some embodiments, the first camera is disposed near the edge of the shell, an axis of the first camera lens has a preset angle with a normal of the transparent cover plate, and the axis is inclined along a direction pointing to the transparent cover plate toward a direction close to the transparent cover plate.
[0015] By tilting the first camera relative to the transparent cover, that is, there is a preset angle between the axis of the first camera lens and the normal of the transparent cover, it is convenient for the first camera to capture facial movements or body movements of a human body in a sitting state, which conforms to the ergonomic design principles.
[0016] In some embodiments, the preset angle is within 2-5 degrees.
[0017] In some embodiments, a second camera and a reflective assembly are further included, the reflective assembly includes a reflective plate, the second camera, the reflective plate and the first camera are all located on the same edge of the shell, the reflective plate is arranged on the path of the second camera receiving light and the reflective plate is inclined towards the transparent cover.
[0018] By providing the reflective component and the second camera, when the electronic device is placed upright on a table or other platforms, the content on the table or the platform can be reflected to the second camera through the reflective plate.
[0019] In some embodiments, the reflective assembly is detachably mounted on an edge of the housing.
[0020] The detachable connection between the reflective component and the shell can facilitate the installation and disassembly of the reflective component. When the reflective component is needed, the reflective component is installed to the edge of the shell. When the reflective component is not needed, the reflective component can be removed. After the reflective component is removed, the electronic device can be easily stored and carried, and the electronic device will not be damaged due to the presence of the reflective component.
[0021] In some embodiments, the reflective component is magnetically attracted to the edge of the shell.
[0022] The reflective component is connected to the edge of the shell by magnetic attraction, which facilitates the quick installation or removal of the reflective component and improves the user experience.

[0040] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present application or the technical solutions in the prior art, the specific implementation methods of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.
[0041] In order to simplify the drawings, only the parts related to the present application are schematically shown in each figure, and they do not represent the actual structure of the product. In addition, in order to simplify the drawings and facilitate understanding, in some figures, only one of the parts with the same structure or function is schematically drawn or marked. In this article, "one" not only means "only one", but also means "more than one".
[0042] It should be further understood that the term “and / or” used in the specification and appended claims refers to any combination and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.
[0043] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0044] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0045] refer to Figure 1The present application provides an electronic device, which may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer or a learning machine, etc. The following is an explanation using a tablet learning machine as an example. The electronic device includes a housing 1, a transparent cover plate 2 and a first camera 3. The transparent cover plate 2 covers the housing 1, and the first camera 3 is installed in the housing 1. A fuzzy light-transmitting component 4 is provided on the light-inlet path 11 of the first camera 3. The light-inlet path 11 refers to the path for the first camera 3 to receive light. By providing the fuzzy light-transmitting component 4, the first camera 3 can only obtain fuzzy image data, for example, it can only capture the main characteristic movements of the human body, but cannot obtain clear image data. In other words, the provision of the fuzzy light-transmitting component 4, on the one hand, will not hinder the electronic device from identifying and verifying the user or the user's facial movements or body movements through the first camera 3, and on the other hand, will not disclose the user's privacy. It is easy to understand that after the fuzzy light-transmitting component 4 is provided, the user does not need to consider whether the first camera 3 is turned on, which reduces the user's psychological burden.
[0046] It is understandable that the transparent cover plate 2 may refer to a screen or a film (tempered mold or ordinary protective film) on the surface of the screen. In addition, it is easy to understand that the fuzzy light-transmitting member 4 may be arranged at any position on the light-incoming path 11 of the first camera 3 .
[0047] In one embodiment, the transparent cover plate 2 is covered on the first camera 3, and the portion of the transparent cover plate 2 corresponding to the first camera 3 is blurred to form a blurred light-transmitting member 4. The blurred light-transmitting member 4 is formed by blurring the portion of the transparent cover plate 2 corresponding to the first camera 3, that is, the blurred light-transmitting member 4 is a part of the transparent cover plate 2, so that the blurred light-transmitting member 4 does not need to be separately provided, thereby saving the installation process of the blurred light-transmitting member 4.
[0048] It is worth noting that the "blurring process" mentioned in this application can be a frosting process, photolithography, chemical etching or laser engraving process, or other processes, and the above examples do not limit the scope of "blurring process". After "blurring process", the image data obtained by the first camera 3 has a blurred effect, such as a translucent frosting effect.
[0049] It can be understood that the blurred portion of the transparent cover plate 2 is located on the side of the transparent cover plate 2 close to the first camera 3 (the inner surface of the transparent cover plate 2), or the blurred portion of the transparent cover plate 2 is located on the side of the transparent cover plate 2 away from the first camera 3 (the outer surface of the transparent cover plate 2). Preferably, the blurred portion of the transparent cover plate is located on the side of the transparent cover plate 2 close to the first camera 3, that is, the blurred portion is located on the inner side (inner surface) of the transparent cover plate 2. Compared with blurring the side of the transparent cover plate 2 away from the first camera 3, the blurred portion is set on the inner side of the transparent cover plate 2, so that the blurred portion is not easily contaminated during the use of the electronic device, such as being covered by oil stains, dust, etc., and it is also convenient to wipe and clean the transparent cover plate 2.
[0050] refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment, the transparent cover plate 2 is covered on the first camera 3, and the fuzzy light-transmitting member 4 is installed between the transparent cover plate 2 and the first camera 3. The fuzzy light-transmitting member 4 can be a semi-transparent film or a film that has been "fuzzy-processed". Preferably, the fuzzy light-transmitting member 4 is a semi-transparent black film. It can be understood that by arranging the fuzzy light-transmitting member 4 between the transparent cover plate 2 and the first camera 3, there is no need to blur the transparent cover plate 2 or the first camera 3, and there is no need to change the original production process of the transparent cover plate 2 and the first camera 3. In other words, the fuzzy light-transmitting member 4 is relatively independent and can be independently produced and processed, avoiding the risk of damaging or even scrapping the transparent cover plate 2 or the first camera 3 due to the blurring process on the transparent cover plate 2 or the first camera 3.
[0051] In one embodiment, the lens of the first camera 3 is blurred to form a blurred light-transmitting member 4. The "blurring process" mentioned in this paragraph is understood by referring to the previous text and will not be repeated here. The lens of the first camera 3 is blurred to form the blurred light-transmitting member 4, that is, the blurred light-transmitting member 4 is part of the lens of the first camera 3, so that there is no need to set up the blurred light-transmitting member 4 separately, saving the installation process of the blurred light-transmitting member 4.
[0052] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4The figure includes a cross-sectional view of the electronic device and a partial enlarged view of the cross-sectional view. In one embodiment, the first camera 3 is arranged near the edge of the housing 1, and there is a preset angle 7 between the axis 5 of the lens of the first camera 3 and the normal 6 of the transparent cover plate 2, and the axis 5 is inclined in the direction close to the transparent cover plate 2 along the direction pointing to the transparent cover plate 2, that is, the first camera 3 is arranged tilted relative to the transparent cover plate 2. It is easy to understand that the first camera 3 is arranged tilted relative to the transparent cover plate 2, which makes it easier for the first camera 3 to capture facial movements or body movements of the human body in a sitting state, which conforms to the ergonomic design principle. Preferably, the preset angle 7 is controlled within 2-5 degrees, which is more conducive to the cooperation between the human body and the first camera 3 when the human body is in a sitting state.
[0053] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 In one embodiment, the electronic device further includes a second camera 8 and a reflective component 9, the reflective component 9 includes a reflective plate 10, the second camera 8, the reflective plate 10 and the first camera 3 are all located at the same edge of the housing 1, the reflective plate 10 is arranged on the path of the second camera 8 receiving light and the reflective plate 10 is inclined to the transparent cover plate 2. By providing the reflective component 9 and the second camera 8, when the electronic device is placed on a table or other platform, the content on the table or the platform is reflected to the second camera 8 through the reflective plate 10. For example, when the electronic device is placed on a table and learning materials (textbooks or test papers, etc.) are placed on the table, the second camera 8 can obtain the page content of the learning materials through the reflective component 9, and then copy the page content to the electronic device, or correct the page content through the electronic device, or find the analysis or answer related to the page content through the electronic device.
[0054] In one embodiment, the reflective component 9 is detachably mounted on the edge of the shell 1. The specific detachable method can be a snap-on connection, such as the reflective component 9 is hooked on the edge of the shell 1, or it can be a magnetic connection, or other connection methods. It is easy to understand that the detachable connection between the reflective component 9 and the shell 1 can facilitate the installation and disassembly of the reflective component 9. When the reflective component 9 is needed, the reflective component 9 is installed on the edge of the shell 1. When the reflective component 9 is not needed, the reflective component 9 can be removed. After the reflective component 9 is removed, it is convenient to store and carry the electronic device, and at the same time, the electronic device will not be damaged due to the presence of the reflective component 9. Preferably, the reflective component 9 is connected to the edge of the shell 1 by magnetic attraction, which facilitates the quick installation or removal of the reflective component 9 and improves the user experience.
[0055] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above are only preferred implementations of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
