Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communication equipment accessories, and in particular to an anti-secret-shooting device and system for communication equipment with a shooting function. Background Art

[0002] At present, with more and more functions of mobile phones, mobile phones are becoming an indispensable part of people's work and life. However, in some occasions, people are not allowed to take pictures with mobile phones to avoid unnecessary losses. For example, in order to protect copyrights, performance venues such as cinemas or opera houses strictly prohibit audiences from taking pictures of performance scenes with mobile phones. For another example, in many museums that collect cultural relics with historical protection significance or exhibition halls that display extremely valuable exhibits, audiences are also strictly prohibited from taking pictures with mobile phones. For another example, in the research and development and production sites of some enterprises and institutions, there are many confidential technical equipment and technical data and other intangible assets involving trade secrets. The managers of these places do not want or allow employees or visitors to take pictures of these secrets with mobile phones privately.

[0003] In order to prevent people from using their mobile phones to secretly take photos in the above-mentioned occasions, the current common practice is: before entering the occasion, the mobile phones of the relevant personnel are collected and temporarily kept by compulsory measures, and the mobile phones are returned to the owners after the relevant personnel leave the occasion. However, some activity venues cannot adopt measures to temporarily keep mobile phones for fear of affecting the experience of visitors or audiences. In this way, some participants in the activities violate the regulations and secretly take photos, which will be impossible to prevent, resulting in their precious copyrights, design works, creative plans or technical secrets being secretly photographed, and the losses caused are even far greater than the theft of cash or physical objects. At present, no further effective technical means have been found to prevent mobile phone secret photography in these places.

[0004] In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventors found that the above-mentioned approach in the prior art has the following problems:

[0005] 1. Since people's mobile phones need to be temporarily kept, people are generally worried that the staff of these places may not keep them properly, and the mobile phones may be illegally used, resulting in the violation of the privacy of the users in these mobile phones. Therefore, people have some resistance to the practice of forced temporary storage of mobile phones, which will bring embarrassment and other bad experiences to people who come to these places; 2. Since people usually spend a long time in these places to participate in related activities, if people's mobile phones are forcibly collected and kept, the mobile phones will be away from the owners for a long time. If during this process, the mobile phone receives a very important call or message, then people will not be able to know it in time, which may lead to bad consequences or even legal consequences; for example, during this process, if the mobile phone receives a very important business negotiation call or an emergency call from a family member for the owner of the mobile phone, if the call is missed, the owner of the mobile phone will miss a very important business contract or cause family disputes; for example, during this process, if the mobile phone receives an automatic alarm message notification of an earthquake, if the message notification is missed, the owner of the mobile phone may not be able to escape in time. Summary of the invention

[0045] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] See also Figures 1 to 3 One embodiment of the present invention provides an anti-secret camera device for a communication device with a shooting function, the anti-secret camera device comprising: a housing 1, a locking device 2 and a detected tag 3; the housing 1 has a housing cavity for accommodating the communication device 9 without hindering the communication function of the communication device 9, the housing 1 is provided with an entrance 10 for the communication device 9 to enter and exit, and the housing 1 also has a non-transparent area 11; the non-transparent area 11 is arranged at a position on the housing 1 so that the non-transparent area 11 can be aligned with the camera 90 of the communication device 9 after it is placed in the housing 1; the locking device 2 is arranged on the housing 1, and is used to lock the entrance 10 when locked and to make the entrance 10 exit the locked state after unlocking; the detected tag 3 is arranged on the housing 1, and is used to be detected by the detection system when entering the detection area range of the preset detection system. Wherein, the detected tag 3 is optional.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, when an activity participant with the communication device 9 needs to enter a place to prevent sneak photography, the staff of the place can provide the anti-sneak photography device for each activity participant, and let the communication device 9 of these activity participants be placed in the casing 1, and then lock the access 10 on the casing 1 through the locking device 2 to prevent the communication device 9 from being taken out abnormally. Since the camera 90 of the communication device 9 placed in the casing 1 will be placed to aim at the non-transparent area 11, the communication device 9 placed in the casing 1 can no longer perform normal shooting even if it can be operated by the owner, thereby effectively preventing the activity participants with the communication device 9 from entering the anti-sneak photography place to take sneak photos, so that these activity participants can carry the communication device 9 with them into these places. In addition, when these activity participants enter the venue to participate in the activity for a long time, if the communication device 9 receives a call or message, the relevant activity participants can find it in time because they carry the communication device 9 with them (when a call or message comes, there will generally be vibration or even vibration and ringing), so the activity participants can make relevant responses in time. For example, you can ask the staff in the venue to help unlock the locking device 2 and take out the communication device 9 from the sleeve 1, and then deal with the relevant calls and messages in time. When these activity participants no longer participate in the activities and leave these venues, these activity participants need to return the anti-sneak peek device to the staff of these venues. If they do not return it, the anti-theft tag 3 on the sleeve 1 will be detected by the detection system set in the exit channel of these venues and trigger an alarm.

[0048] As an additional effect, these devices can be used again after fumigation or dry cleaning or washing and drying. If they are not returned, the detected tag 3 (such as an anti-theft tag or RFID tag) on ​​the sleeve body will be detected by the anti-theft tag detection system or RFID tag detector set in the exit channel of these places and trigger an alarm.

[0049] The device can also be made of composite materials with antibacterial properties to aid in each recycling.

[0050] The device can also be made of disposable environmentally friendly recyclable materials. When in use, the staff will use heat-sealed or barbed one-way sealed nylon straps to ensure that the opaque area covers the front and rear cameras after the participants put the communication equipment into the device, but the transparent area can have a touch screen barrier-free communication function. When the participants leave the control area, they can use specially designed tools to quickly, safely and easily cut the seal, take out the communication equipment and throw away the disposable device. As an additional function, the disposable device can be equipped with a built-in anti-theft tag. If it is taken out of the control area without inspection by the staff, an alarm will be triggered to remind the participants to cut the seal with special tools. There is a metal detector at the entrance of the control area to prevent participants from bringing in any metal tools, and it is difficult to open the seal barehanded in the area. If the staff finds that the seal of the device has been opened at the exit, it can be used as an intention and indirect evidence of the participants to deliberately take secret photos for legal questioning or alarm processing.

[0051] From the above analysis, it can be seen that the embodiment of the present invention allows event participants to carry communication devices 9 with them into anti-sneak peek places and can also prevent sneak peeks without the need for compulsory safekeeping, thereby avoiding embarrassment or even conflicts between managers of these places and event participants and other bad experiences; moreover, since event participants can carry communication devices 9 with them, they can promptly discover and process calls and messages on the communication devices 9, thereby avoiding losses caused by missed calls or messages and even the corresponding legal consequences arising therefrom; in addition, since the detection label 3 is provided on the sleeve 1, the anti-sneak peek device can be effectively recovered, making the management of anti-sneak peek work more convenient, and it is not as troublesome as the prior art to return the communication device 9 according to the owner's name when leaving these places.

[0052] It should be noted that the sleeve does not hinder the communication function of the communication device placed in the sleeve, which can be understood as: the communication device 9 placed in the sleeve 1 can normally receive or even send communication signals. For example, the sleeve 1 is made of metal, but the sleeve 1 is not sealed, but has an opening area for the antenna of the communication device 9 to communicate normally with the outside world; for another example, the sleeve 1 is non-metallic, and its material does not affect the communication between the antenna of the communication device 9 and the outside world.

[0053] It should be noted that the “shooting” in this embodiment refers to one or all of taking photos or recording videos, and the “anti-secret photography” in this embodiment refers to one or all of “anti-taking photos” or “anti-recording videos”.

[0054] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, after the inlet and outlet 10 of the casing 1 are locked, the casing 1 may be nearly airtight or non-airtight. In order to facilitate the ringing sound of the communication device 9 placed in the casing 1 to be better transmitted to the outside of the casing 1, after the inlet and outlet 10 of the casing 1 are locked, the casing 1 is non-airtight.

[0055] It is understandable that, in this embodiment, the communication device 9 with a shooting function may be a feature phone, a smart phone, or a tablet computer, etc., which is not specifically limited here. Among them, these communication devices 9 may have one camera 90, or may have multiple cameras 90 (which may be distributed in the same area on the communication device 9, or may be distributed on different sides of the communication device 9), but no matter how the cameras 90 of these communication devices 9 are set, as long as these communication devices 9 are placed in the corresponding sleeve 1, they can be blocked by the corresponding non-transparent area 11 on the corresponding sleeve 1.

[0056] It can be understood that in this embodiment, when the locking device 2 is locked to lock the inlet and outlet 10, the inlet and outlet 10 can be partially sealed or completely sealed, as long as it is ensured that the communication device 9 placed in the sleeve 1 cannot be taken out after it is locked. In addition, the non-transparent area 11 can be completely opaque or partially transparent to the shooting light of the camera 90, and its degree of transparency can be set according to the camera 90 not being able to normally capture a clear image.

[0057] In this embodiment, the detected label 3 may be attached to the outside of the sleeve 1, or may be disposed inside the sleeve 1 or embedded in the material of the sleeve 1, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0058] In this embodiment, optionally, the sleeve body 1 can be a box-shaped hard shell, or a shape-changeable soft shell, which is not specifically limited here.

[0059] As an optional embodiment, see Figures 1 to 3 The case 1 also has a transparent area 12. The setting position of the transparent area 12 allows the transparent area 12 to align with the display screen 91 of the communication device 9 placed in the case 1. In this way, when the communication device 9 placed in the case 1 has relevant notification information (such as text messages) and the screen is displayed, the owner can check the relevant notification information through the transparent area 12 on the case 1, so that the owner can clearly and timely understand the relevant information content without taking out the communication device 9 from the case 1, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0060] Furthermore, the transparent area 12 is a transparent material for touch control, so that the owner can operate the touch screen of the communication device 9 (for example, answering a call or checking information, etc.) through the transparent area 12, thereby further enhancing the user experience. The transparent material for touch control is a plastic film for touch control, and of course it can also be glass for touch control.

[0061] As another optional embodiment, a display window (not shown) is provided on the case 1. The display window is set in a position so that the display window is aligned with the display screen 91 of the communication device 9 placed in the case 1. In this way, when the communication device 9 placed in the case 1 has relevant notification information (such as text messages) and the screen is displayed, the owner can check the relevant notification information through the transparent area 12 on the case 1, so that the owner can clearly and promptly understand the relevant information content, and the owner can also touch the display screen 91 of the communication device 9 through the window, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0062] As an optional embodiment, see Figures 1 to 3 The communication device 9 has a front camera and a rear camera; the sleeve 1 has two non-transparent areas 11, which are respectively used to cover the front camera and the rear camera of the communication device 9 placed in the sleeve 1.

[0063] As an optional embodiment, the cover 1 is a non-transparent cover. Optionally, the cover 1 is also a non-metallic soft cover, so that the cover 1 can have a certain range of expansion and contraction, and can adapt to communication devices 9 of different sizes, so that the anti-secret camera device has better versatility. In addition, the cover 1 is a non-metallic soft cover, which also facilitates the owner to operate the corresponding buttons of the communication device (for example, operating the answer call button).

[0064] As an optional embodiment, the sleeve 1 is a non-metallic and transparent sleeve, and a non-transparent sticker (not shown) is pasted on the inner side of the sleeve 1 to form the non-transparent area 11. In this way, the sleeve 1 can be pasted with a non-transparent sticker according to the position of the camera 90 of different communication devices 9 to form the corresponding non-transparent area 11, thereby making the anti-sneak peek device more universal.

[0065] As an optional embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3A button hole 13 is provided on the casing 1. The opening position of the button hole 13 allows the button hole 13 to be aligned with the corresponding button 92 of the communication device 9 placed in the casing 1, so that the owner can operate the button 92 of the communication device 9, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0066] As an optional embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The housing 1 is provided with a sound hole 14, and the opening position of the sound hole 14 allows the sound hole 14 to be aligned with the corresponding speaker hole 93 of the communication device 9 placed in the housing 1, so that the owner can clearly hear the sound of the ringing or call.

[0067] As an optional embodiment, the locking device 2 is an electromagnetic locking device (i.e., a device that achieves locking and unlocking by electromagnetic working mode) or a mechanical locking device (i.e., a device that achieves locking and unlocking by mechanical working modes such as manual keys or passwords, such as a key lock device, a password lock device, or a zipper lock device), etc. The specific structures of these devices can refer to the prior art and are not specifically limited here. Among them, illustratively, when the structure of the locking device 2 is to fasten the inlet and outlet with an anti-theft tag nail, the unlocking device of the locking device 2 can be a magnetic unlocking and nailing device currently widely used in anti-theft AM or RF hard tags or a mechanical unlocking device for AM hard tags.

[0068] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The locking device 2 includes a door panel 20 and a key lock 21; wherein, the door panel 20 is rotatably arranged at the inlet and outlet 10 and is rotatably connected to the sleeve 1, and a lock hole (not shown) is provided on the side of the door panel 20 with the largest rotation radius; the key lock 21 is arranged on the sleeve 1, and when the lock core (not shown) of the key lock 21 pops out, it can be aligned with and stuck in the lock hole, thereby achieving locking.

[0069] As an optional embodiment, the detected tag 3 is an acoustomagnetic AM anti-theft tag 3 (for example, an acoustomagnetic anti-theft tag of 21KHz, 58KHz or 280KHz) or a radio frequency RF anti-theft tag 3 (for example, a radio frequency anti-theft tag of 4.0MHz, 8.2MHz or 10.0MHz), or an electromagnetic EM anti-theft tag 3 (for example, an electromagnetic anti-theft tag of 800Hz, 1500Hz or 2000Hz), or a radio frequency identification tag 3 (for example, a radio frequency identification tag of 13.56MHz, 15MHz or 812MHz), and no specific limitation is made here.

[0070] As an optional embodiment, the anti-secret camera device further includes a clamping device; the clamping device is disposed in the casing 1 and is used to clamp the communication device 9 placed in the casing 1 in the casing 1, so that the camera of the communication device 9 after clamping is accurately covered by the corresponding non-transparent area. In this way, the camera of the communication device can be accurately and stably covered by the non-transparent area. For example, Figure 4 As shown, the clamping device includes an elastic strip 8, which is arranged on the inner side of the sleeve, and the inner side is different from and not opposite to the inner side of the sleeve where the inlet and outlet are provided. The elastic strip 8 includes an elastic inclined portion 80 and an elastic pressing portion 81, wherein the inclined portion 81 is close to the inlet and outlet. When the communication device 9 is put in from the inlet and outlet, the communication device will move along the inclined surface of the inclined portion to the pressing portion 81, thereby being pressed between the pressing portion 81 and the corresponding inner side of the sleeve 1.

[0071] Another embodiment of the present invention provides an anti-secret camera device for a communication device with a camera function (not shown). The anti-secret camera device includes: a housing, a locking device, and a detected tag; the housing accommodates the communication device, the housing is provided with an inlet and outlet for the communication device to enter and exit, and is a non-elastic housing; the locking device is provided on the housing, and is used to lock the inlet and outlet when locked and to open the inlet and outlet after unlocking; the anti-theft tag is provided on the housing. The detected tag is optional.

[0072] In the method of use of the embodiment of the present invention: when the activity participants with the communication device need to enter the anti-secret photography place, the staff of the place can provide the anti-secret photography device for each activity participant, and let the communication devices of these activity participants be placed in the casing, and then lock the inlet and outlet on the casing by the locking device to prevent the communication device from being taken out abnormally. Since the casing is a rigid casing (for example, a casing made of glass material, a casing made of hard plastic material, etc., which can be transparent or non-transparent), the communication device placed in the casing cannot be operated by the owner by pressing the casing to operate the relevant button for opening the shooting function (the communication device has a touch screen, and since the casing is a rigid casing, it is difficult for the owner to normally touch and operate the touch screen through the rigid casing, especially when the touch screen is not close to the inner side of the casing), and normal shooting can no longer be performed, thereby effectively preventing the activity participants with the communication device from entering the anti-secret photography place to take secret photos, so that these activity participants can carry the communication device with them into these places. In addition, when these activity participants enter the venues to participate in the activities for a long time, if there is a call or message coming from the communication device, the relevant activity participants can find it in time because they carry the communication device with them (when a call or message comes, there will generally be vibration or even vibration and ringing), so that the relevant calls and messages can be processed in time. When these activity participants no longer participate in the activities and leave these venues, these activity participants need to unlock the anti-sneak peek device by themselves or with the assistance of the staff, take out the communication device and return the device to the staff of these venues. As an additional effect, these devices can be fumigated or dry-cleaned as a whole or washed and dried before being used again. If it is not returned, the anti-theft tag or RFID tag on the sleeve will be detected by the anti-theft tag detection system or RFID tag detector set in the exit channel of these venues and trigger an alarm.

[0073] The device can also be made of composite materials with antibacterial properties to aid in each recycling.

[0074] The device can also be made of disposable environmentally friendly recyclable materials. When in use, the staff will use heat-sealed or barbed one-way sealed nylon straps to ensure that the opaque area covers the front and rear cameras after the participants put the communication equipment into the device, but the transparent area can have a touch screen barrier-free communication function. When the participants leave the control area, they can use specially designed tools to quickly, safely and easily cut the seal, take out the communication equipment and throw away the disposable device. As an additional function, the disposable device can be equipped with a built-in anti-theft tag. If it is taken out of the control area without inspection by the staff, an alarm will be triggered to remind the participants to cut the seal with special tools. There is a metal detector at the entrance of the control area to prevent participants from bringing in any metal tools, and it is difficult to open the seal barehanded in the area. If the staff finds that the seal of the device has been opened at the exit, it can be used as an intention and indirect evidence of the participants to deliberately take secret photos for legal questioning or alarm processing.

[0075] From the above analysis, it can be seen that the embodiments of the present invention allow event participants to carry communication devices with them into anti-sneak cam venues while also being able to prevent sneak camming without the need for compulsory safekeeping, thereby avoiding embarrassment or even conflicts between managers of these venues and event participants and other undesirable experiences; moreover, since event participants can carry communication devices with them, they can promptly discover and process calls and messages on the communication devices, thereby avoiding losses caused by missed calls or messages and even the corresponding legal consequences arising therefrom; in addition, since the detection tag is provided on the sleeve, the anti-sneak cam device can be effectively recovered, making the management of anti-sneak cam work more convenient, and unlike the prior art, it is not as troublesome as having to return the communication device according to the owner's name when leaving these venues.

[0076] In this embodiment, optionally, for the communication device with a touch screen, the side of the sleeve that is aligned with the touch screen of the communication device placed in the sleeve is made of a non-touchable material. Of course, the side of the sleeve that is aligned with the touch screen of the communication device placed in the sleeve can also be made of a touchable material, as long as a certain distance is ensured between the side and the touch screen of the communication device placed in the sleeve, it can be ensured that the touch screen cannot be touched normally.

[0077] It can be understood that the relevant structure and description of the anti-secret camera device in the embodiment of the present invention can refer to the relevant content of the anti-secret camera device in the above embodiment, and will not be elaborated here.

[0078] Another embodiment of the present invention provides an anti-sneak peek system (not shown) for a communication device with a shooting function, which includes: a tag detection system and an anti-sneak peek device as described in any of the above schemes; the tag detection system is used to detect the presence of a detected tag within a monitoring area.

[0079] Specifically, the tag detection system is used to be set in the exit channel of the anti-sneak peek place. When the participants of the activities in these places leave from the exit channel, the anti-theft tag detection system will detect the existence of the detected tag 3 within the monitoring area in the exit channel. When the presence of the detected tag 3 is detected, it indicates that an active participant is carrying the anti-sneak peek device and has not returned it in time. At this time, the tag detection system will trigger an alarm action (for example, triggering the alarm device to sound an alarm).

[0080] Exemplarily, the detection tag is a radio frequency tag, and the tag detection system is an RFID detection system, which is used to detect the existence of the radio frequency tag and the user identification information carried by it. The radio frequency tag can be a visit card or employee card with radio frequency identification function in some activity venues.

[0081] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
