Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of scanning pens, and in particular to a scanning pen capable of capturing images in a large range. Background Art

[0002] A scanning pen is a handheld electronic device. Users can scan and enter text or images by holding the scanning pen. Through the built-in optical character recognition (OCR) module, text can be recognized, stored and edited. It is widely used in scenarios such as student learning and travel translation.

[0003] Currently, scanning pens that support intelligent recognition and translation are very popular among users. If you encounter a word you don’t understand, you only need to scan it to know the meaning, which is very helpful for learning and communication. However, most scanning pens on the market currently rely on pressing one end of the stylus tip to trigger recognition. Each recognition requires dragging the stylus tip to scan, and the scanning area changes with the dragging position, which is not conducive to global scanning (for example, recognizing a whole page of a book). Some scanning pens with global scanning functions are still not very convenient to operate when performing global scanning. For example, they cannot be conveniently placed on the desktop, which reduces the user experience.

[0004] It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is only for the convenience of providing a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the present application and for the convenience of understanding by those skilled in the art. It cannot be considered that the above technical solutions are well known to those skilled in the art simply because they are described in the background technology section of the present application. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a scanning pen that can capture a wide range of images in response to the deficiencies in the above-mentioned background technology, so as to enrich the use scenarios of the scanning pen, improve the user's operating convenience, and achieve a leap forward in user experience.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a scanning pen that can capture a wide range of images, including a scanning pen body, a camera module and a suction cup module. The camera module can realize local scanning and large-range global scanning. The suction cup module is used to adsorb and fix the scanning pen body to a supporting surface so that the camera module remains in a suitable position for scanning the global image.

[0007] Wherein, a pen head is arranged at the bottom end of the scanning pen body, and a pen tail is arranged at the top end of the scanning pen body.

[0008] Wherein, the camera module includes a main camera that combines local scanning and global scanning into one, the main camera is arranged at the pen head, and the suction cup module is arranged at the pen tail.

[0009] Furthermore, the main camera is connected to a movable component at the pen tip, and the movable component can move the main camera out from the inside of the pen tip and adjust the viewing range.

[0010] As another solution, the camera module includes a local camera and a global camera, the local camera is arranged inside the pen tip, and the global camera is arranged on the scanning pen body or on the pen tip.

[0011] Furthermore, the global camera is arranged on the scanning pen body and on one side close to the pen head, and the suction cup module is arranged on the pen tail.

[0012] Furthermore, a sliding member is slidably connected to the scanning pen body, and the sliding member can slide up and down along the scanning pen body, and the end of the sliding member can be placed flat on a supporting surface.

[0013] Furthermore, the global camera is arranged on the sliding member.

[0014] Furthermore, the global camera is at a preset angle with the scanning pen body to capture a wide range of the front.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a state detection module, which automatically detects the upright or inverted state of the scanning pen to automatically realize screen display switching and camera module function switching.

[0016] The above scheme of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The scanning pen provided by the present invention can be stably erected on a support surface such as a desktop by relying on the suction cup module, so that when performing global scanning, it is only necessary to erect the scanning pen on the desktop and fix it by adsorption, so that the camera module starts global scanning and ensures that it is at a better scanning height and angle and maintains it, so that global scanning can be successfully completed, global recognition or fingertip reading can be performed, and the user only needs to turn the pages of the book in sequence to accurately complete the recognition of the whole book, etc., which improves the convenience of operation and further improves the user experience;

[0018] Other beneficial effects of the present invention will be described in detail in the subsequent specific implementation section. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] Embodiment 1:

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a scanning pen capable of taking pictures in a wide range, comprising a scanning pen body 1, a camera module and a suction cup module 2. Among them, a pen head 3 is arranged at the bottom of the scanning pen body 1, a pen tail 4 is arranged at the top of the scanning pen body 1, and the camera module comprises a main camera 5 which combines local scanning and global scanning into one, and realizes line-by-line recognition of characters, words and sentences by local scanning, and realizes image of the entire page of books, test papers, etc. by large-scale global scanning, and realizes fingertip reading, intelligent correction and other functions.

[0027] In this embodiment, the main camera 5 is arranged at the pen tip 3, and the suction cup module 2 is arranged at the pen tail 4, so that the scanning pen body 1 is inverted and fixed to a supporting surface such as a desktop so as to stand upright on the desktop, ensuring that the camera module remains in a suitable position for scanning the global image.

[0028] Therefore, when the main camera 5 starts local scanning, the user can slide the pen head 3 over the target scanning area to scan like operating a conventional scanning pen. When a global scan is required, the scanning pen only needs to be inverted and placed upright on the desktop, fixed by the suction cup module 2, and the main camera 5 starts global scanning, ensuring that it is at a better scanning height and angle, and then the global scan can be completed smoothly, and global recognition or fingertip reading can be performed. Thus, by relying on the adsorption and fixation of the suction cup module 2, the main camera 5 can be maintained in a better position for capturing the global image, and the user only needs to turn the pages of the book one by one to accurately complete the whole book recognition, etc., which improves the convenience of operation.

[0029] In addition, by adopting the global scanning solution, the pen tip 3 is not in a pressed or working state when the scanning pen is placed upright on the desktop, so as to effectively prevent the pen tip 3 from being damaged or the power consumption problem caused by being in a pressed working state for a long time.

[0030] As a further improvement, in this embodiment, the main camera 5 is connected to the active component at the pen tip 3. The active component supports the main camera 5 to perform operations including but not limited to sliding, rotating, and telescoping, so that the main camera 5 can slide out from the inside of the pen tip 3 and flip over to perform a wide range of framing, thereby further improving the framing range.

[0031] In this embodiment, the suction cup module 2 can be a suction cup fixedly connected to the pen tail 4. After the user turns the scanning pen body 1 upside down, the suction cup is pressed on a supporting surface such as a desktop to make the suction cup firmly adsorbed.

[0032] In addition, an air pump may be arranged in the scanning pen, and the air pump is connected to the suction cup to control the exhaust and air conduction process of the suction cup.

[0033] As a further improvement, the present embodiment also includes a status detection module, which is installed in the scanning pen body 1, or the pen head 3, the pen tail 4, etc., and can automatically detect the upright or inverted state of the scanning pen to automatically realize the screen display switching and the switching of the main camera 5 functions, to avoid the inverted font affecting the user's viewing of the content on the screen, etc., and after inversion, the main camera 5 automatically enters the global scanning mode, which simplifies the user's operation and further enhances the user's experience.

[0034] Embodiment 2:

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides another scanning pen capable of taking pictures in a large range, and the main difference from Embodiment 1 is that the camera module includes a local camera 6 and a global camera 7, the local camera 6 realizes local scanning, and the global camera 7 realizes global scanning. The local camera 6 is arranged inside the pen head 3, and the global camera 7 is arranged on the scanning pen body 1, or on the pen head 3.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment, the global camera 7 is arranged on the scanning pen body 1 and on one side close to the pen head 3 , and the suction cup module 2 is arranged on the pen tail 4 .

[0037] Therefore, the local scanning is the same as in Example 1. When a global scan is required, the scanning pen only needs to be inverted and placed upright on the desktop. After being fixed by the suction cup module 2, the global camera 7 is already at a better scanning height and angle, so that the global scan can be completed smoothly, and global recognition or fingertip reading can be performed, etc., thereby achieving the technical purpose of the present invention.

[0038] As a further improvement, in order to further adjust the height of the global camera 7 so as to expand the scanning range of the global camera 7 as much as possible, a sliding member is slidably connected to the scanning pen body 1 in this embodiment, specifically a sliding bracket 8. The sliding bracket 8 can slide up and down along the scanning pen body 1. At the same time, the end of the sliding bracket 8 can be placed flat on the supporting surface, and the scanning pen can also be stably stood upright on the desktop.

[0039] Correspondingly, a holding structure is also arranged on the sliding bracket 8. When the sliding bracket 8 slides to a preset position relative to the scanning pen body 1, the holding structure can maintain the fixed position to ensure the support and the stability of the position of the global camera 7. The holding structure includes but is not limited to a magnetic structure.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment, the global camera 7 is arranged on the sliding bracket 8 and is close to the side of the pen head 3 in this embodiment. Therefore, during the global scanning process, after the scanning pen body 1 is inverted, the sliding bracket 8 is controlled to move and extend along the scanning pen body 1 toward one end of the pen head 3, so that the distance between the global camera 7 and the pen tail 4 is larger. Therefore, when the suction cup module 2 of the pen tail 4 is adsorbed on the desktop, the global camera 7 can be at a higher position, and a larger range of framing can be achieved.

[0041] In other embodiments, the global camera 7 may also be located on the scanning pen body 1 or the pen tip 3. In this case, when performing a global scan, the scanning pen body 1 is inverted, and the sliding bracket 8 is controlled to move and extend along the scanning pen body 1 toward the pen tail 4, so that the global camera 7 is at a greater distance from the extended end of the sliding bracket 8. When the extended end of the sliding bracket 8 is placed flush with the desktop, the global camera 7 can also be in a higher position to achieve a larger range of framing.

[0042] In addition, the sliding bracket 8 can slide until it is flush with the pen tail 4, and the sliding bracket 8 cooperates with the suction cup module 2 to achieve more stable support for the scanning pen.

[0043] In this embodiment, the global camera 7 is at a preset angle to the scanning pen body 1 so that the scanning pen body 1 can take a wide range of view from the front and bottom when it is erected.

[0044] Similarly, the global camera 7 can be connected to the movable component, and rely on the movable component to perform operations such as sliding, rotating, and telescoping, so that the global camera 7 can be adjusted to a better framing posture.

[0045] 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.
