Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of camera modules, and in particular to a method for preventing camera modules from sharing a sensor and mixing them up. Background Art

[0002] Since camera modules may have certain differences during the production process, in order to ensure the consistency of imaging effects of the same camera module, it is necessary to burn data on the chip on the sensor in the camera module according to customer requirements. Camera modules for different projects can be produced using the same sensor, and camera modules for different projects using the same sensor can be burned using the same software. However, different projects have different requirements for sensor burning, which results in mixing of camera modules for different projects before leaving the factory, affecting production efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a method for preventing camera modules from sharing a common sensor.

[0004] The objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A method for preventing camera modules from sharing a sensor and mixing goods, comprising: step 1: using a QR code scanner of a device to scan a QR code of a camera module; step 2: the system determines whether the QR code of the camera module meets the set requirements; step 3: binding the QR code of the camera module, uploading the scanned QR code to a database, and lighting up the camera module; step 4: burning the fixed content of the camera and the data required by the project, and storing the burned data; step 5: detecting the burned data, and storing the detected data; step 6: using the QR code scanner of the device to scan the QR code of the camera module again, comparing the QR code content of the camera module, and comparing the burned content in the database with the detected content; step 7: packaging the camera module for shipment.

[0006] In one of the embodiments, in step 1, the QR code is set on the surface of the camera module by laser or sticker pasting.

[0007] In one embodiment, in step 1, the ink layer of the two-dimensional code is a white ink layer.

[0008] In one embodiment, in step 1, the two-dimensional code is a Data Matrix code.

[0009] In one embodiment, in step 1, each cell of the two-dimensional code is larger than 0.14 mm*0.14 mm.

[0010] In one of the embodiments, in step 1, the QR code is set to fifteen digits, and the arrangement rules of the QR codes of the camera modules of different projects are set to be different.

[0011] In one of the embodiments, in step 2, step 2-1: set the QR code arrangement rule of the camera module in the system; step 2-2: the system judges the QR code rule of the camera module, if the QR code arrangement rule of the camera module does not conform to the QR code arrangement rule corresponding to this project, the test is stopped and the camera module cannot be lit; if the QR code arrangement rule of the camera module conforms to the QR code arrangement rule corresponding to this project, the QR code of the camera module is bound.

[0012] In one of the embodiments, in step 4, the burned data includes PD phase difference focusing technology, AWB white balance, and LSC lens shading calibration.

[0013] In one of the embodiments, in step 6, step 6-1: compare the content of the QR code of the camera module, if the content of the QR code scanned twice is consistent, compare the content burned into the camera module with the detected content, if the content of the QR code scanned twice is inconsistent, stop shipping the camera module; step 6-2: compare the content burned into the camera module with the detected content, if the burned content is the same as the detected content, ship the camera module, if the burned content is different from the detected content, stop shipping the camera module.

[0014] A system adopts the above-mentioned method for preventing camera modules from sharing a sensor and mixing goods, including a storage medium and software, wherein the storage medium is used to store the QR code, burned data and detected data of the camera module, and the software is used to compare the QR code, burned data and detected data of the camera module.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0016] A method for preventing camera modules from sharing a sensor is provided by the present invention, by adding a QR code determination step before the QR code bound to the camera module of each project. Since the arrangement order of the QR codes of each project is different and the QR code of each camera module is unique, mixing of camera modules of different projects produced using the same sensor is avoided, thereby improving production efficiency. Moreover, before shipment, the QR codes, burned data and detected data of the camera modules are compared, thereby further avoiding mixing of camera modules of different projects produced using the same sensor.

[0023] It should be noted that by adding a QR code determination step before the QR code bound to the camera module of each project, since the arrangement order of the QR codes of each project is different and the QR code of each camera module is unique, the mixing of camera modules of different projects produced by the same sensor is avoided, thereby improving production efficiency. Before shipment, the QR code, burned data and detected data of the camera module are compared, further avoiding the mixing of camera modules of different projects produced by the same sensor.

[0029] Please refer again Figure 1In one embodiment, in step 2, step 2-1: set the QR code arrangement rule of the camera module in the system; step 2-2: the system judges the QR code rule of the camera module. If the QR code arrangement rule of the camera module does not conform to the QR code arrangement rule corresponding to this project, the test is stopped and the camera module cannot be lit. If the QR code arrangement rule of the camera module conforms to the QR code arrangement rule corresponding to this project, the QR code of the camera module is bound.

[0030] Please refer again Figure 1 In one implementation, in step 4, the burned data includes PD phase difference focusing technology, AWB white balance, and LSC lens shading calibration.

[0031] Please refer again Figure 1 In one embodiment, in step 6, step 6-1: compare the content of the QR code of the camera module, if the content of the QR code scanned twice is consistent, compare the content burned into the camera module with the detected content, if the content of the QR code scanned twice is inconsistent, stop shipping the camera module; step 6-2: compare the content burned into the camera module with the detected content, if the burned content is the same as the detected content, ship the camera module, if the burned content is different from the detected content, stop shipping the camera module.
