[0002] Currently, scanning pens that support intelligent recognition and translation are very popular among parents and children. When encountering words they don’t understand, they only need to scan to know the meaning, which is very conducive to learning and communication. However, most of the scanning pens on the market can only rely on pressing one end of the stylus tip to trigger recognition. Each recognition requires dragging the pen tip to scan, and the scanning area is scanned with the dragging position. It is difficult to perform a global scan (for example, recognizing a whole page of a book), which reduces the user experience.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a screw-cap type global scanning pen, including a scanning pen body 1 and a camera module. Among them, a screw-cap module 2 is provided on the scanning pen body 1, and the screw-cap module 2 is rotatably connected to the scanning pen body 1 through a rotating structure 3, and can be rotated relative to the scanning pen body 1 to make the entire scanning pen unfold or fold. The camera module includes a global camera module 4 and a local camera module 5. The global camera module 4 is arranged on the screw-cap module 2, and can realize a large-scale global scan, and can be used to shoot books, test papers, etc. for fingertip reading, intelligent correction and other functions. The local camera module 5 is arranged at the bottom end of the scanning pen body 1 (i.e., the pen head), which can realize local scanning and complete line-by-line recognition of characters, words, sentences, etc.

[0026] When performing a local scan, the capping module 2 rotates to a folded state with the scanning pen body 1, and the user can slide the bottom of the scanning pen body 1 over the target scanning area to scan just like operating a conventional scanning pen. When a global scan is required, the user only needs to rotate the capping module 2 to a suitable angle to ensure that the global camera module 4 is at a better scanning height and angle when the scanning pen is held or fixed on a bracket, and the global scan can be completed smoothly, and global recognition or fingertip reading can be performed, etc. The operation is convenient and the user experience is improved. In addition, when the capping module 2 rotates and unfolds relative to the scanning pen body 1, the global camera module 4 on the capping module 2 can further adjust the scanning height to expand the framing range of the global scan.

[0027] In this embodiment, the screw cap module 2 is arranged on the front side of the scanning pen body 1, and a receiving groove 6 is correspondingly opened on the front side of the scanning pen body 1. When the screw cap module 2 is rotated to be retracted relative to the scanning pen body 1 (the phase angle is 0 degrees at this time), the installation position of the global camera module 4 on the screw cap module 2 (thicker than other positions) can be accommodated in the receiving groove 6, making the overall structure of the scanning pen more compact and convenient for the user to hold the pen.

[0028] In other embodiments, the cover screw module 2 may also be disposed on the back of the scanning pen body 1. Figure 3 shown.

[0029] In this embodiment, a display module 7 is also included. The display module 7 includes one or more display screens and can display scanning information, that is, the image scanned by the global camera module 4 or the local camera module 5 is displayed in real time. The user can adjust the scanning angle, scanning range, etc. according to the displayed image. When it is determined that the range captured by the current camera is the target scanning area, it can be confirmed through input signals such as buttons, gestures, screen touch, voice commands, etc. The main control performs OCR recognition on the image scanned by the camera and can display the recognition result on the display screen for user convenience.

[0030] In this embodiment, the display module 7 includes a front display screen and / or a rear display screen installed on the cover-screwing module 2. Preferably, the front display screen and the rear display screen are provided at the same time, and the rear display screen is rotatably connected to the cover-screwing module 2, can be flipped to the front side of the cover-screwing module 2, and is combined with the front display screen to form a large screen, so that the user can view the content on the display screen more clearly and comfortably, especially when scanning a large amount of content globally, and obtain a better user experience.

[0031] In other embodiments, a curved screen may be installed only on the front side of the rotary cover module 2, and the curved screen may be folded to achieve the function of large-screen display.

[0032] As a further improvement, in this embodiment, a main display screen is also installed on the scanning pen body 1. The main display screen is arranged in the area corresponding to the scanning pen body 1 and the screw cap module 2, so that the main display screen does not display when the local scanning and the screw cap module 2 are folded, and the main display screen can act and assist in the display when the global scanning and the screw cap module 2 are unfolded, so as to make the best use of the scanning pen layout space and display more content.

[0033] In this embodiment, the global camera module 4 can be a front camera and / or a rear camera and / or a side camera and / or a built-in camera, and is not limited to a certain form of camera. It can acquire images in the largest possible range to improve user convenience.

[0034] In this embodiment, at least one camera in the global camera module 4 is a camera inverted at a preset angle, so that after the screw cap module 2 is rotated 180 degrees and unfolded, the camera can capture images in the preset direction and range in front of the scanning pen, which is suitable for the usage habits of general users.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rotating structure 3, such as the rotating shaft (and the rotating seat), is installed on the scanning pen body 1 and / or the capping module 2 to support the capping module 2 to rotate relative to the scanning pen body 1. As a further improvement, the rotating structure 3 is also provided with a holding structure, which is used to keep the capping module 2 fixed when rotating to a corresponding angle position (any angle position) to ensure the stability of the position of the global camera module 4 during global scanning. Among them, the holding structure includes but is not limited to a magnetic structure, etc.

[0036] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. 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 invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
