Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photography and videography technology, and in particular to a method and system for preventing unauthorized photography using lighting. Background Technology

[0002] For anime convention photography, cosplayers typically have dedicated photographers and teams to follow them. Proper lighting is essential for good results. Lighting at conventions generally falls into two categories: flash units and continuous fill lights. These include various types such as on-camera flashes, LED stick lights, panel lights, and external lights. Professional photography teams usually also carry accessories like softboxes, reflectors, and diffusers. Since the subjects may be individual cosplayers or groups, multiple lights are typically arranged in arrays at different angles to effectively shape the light. However, a practice that photographers strongly discourage is unauthorized photography. Photography enthusiasts often carry only one camera and try to take photos using other people's models and lighting. This is especially true when a photography team uses a continuous LED light array for fill light. These unauthorized photographers often manage to get a chance to shoot when the lighting is complete and the model is posed. The success rate of this is extremely high. This not only interferes with the photographer's own lighting setup and reduces the user experience, but the unauthorized photographers also tend to post the photos online, which may affect the photographer's team's income and reputation.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] The anti-spoofing lighting control method of the present invention connects the anti-spoofing pixel light and the fill light wirelessly, and can control the fill light to turn on and off to achieve the fill light function. The anti-spoofing pixel light is also used to emit light to give a fill light preview and remind the subject (such as model, cosplayer, etc.) before shooting.

[0020] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the anti-spoofing lighting control method of the present invention includes the following steps: S1. The anti-spoofing pixel light is wirelessly connected to at least one fill light.

[0021] The anti-spoofing pixel light can be mounted on the camera's hot shoe, or detached from the camera's hot shoe and fixed to a tripod or other position, or held in place by the operator.

[0022] The anti-spoofing pixel light includes a control unit 1, a light-emitting pixel array 2 connected to the control unit 1, and a wireless connection module 3. The control unit 1 includes an MCU, etc.; the wireless connection module 3 includes, but is not limited to, a Bluetooth module (Bluetooth Low Energy module), a 2.4G wireless communication module, etc. The anti-spoofing pixel light is wirelessly connected to the fill light via the wireless connection module 3, and the fill light also has a corresponding wireless module that is wirelessly connected to the anti-spoofing pixel light.

[0023] Furthermore, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 The anti-spoofing pixel light can form a Bluetooth MESH network with one or more fill lights via a Bluetooth module. Furthermore, the anti-spoofing pixel light and fill lights can be connected to a terminal device for unified management. The terminal device includes mobile phones, computers, etc., and has a corresponding APP for control.

[0024] The anti-spoofing pixel lamp also includes a hot shoe interface module 4 connected to the control unit 1. The hot shoe interface module 4 is used to electrically connect to the camera's hot shoe, enabling signal transmission between the anti-spoofing pixel lamp and the camera. By operating the camera, the on / off state of the anti-spoofing pixel lamp, the setting of its illumination parameters, and the display pattern can be controlled.

[0025] The anti-spoofing pixel light may also include an NFC module 6 connected to the control unit 1, and the anti-spoofing pixel light is paired and connected to the terminal device and / or the fill light through its NFC module 6.

[0026] With the NFC module 6 configured, the anti-spoofing pixel light automatically pairs with other terminal devices that also have an NFC module when brought near them. Users can then configure the anti-spoofing pixel light within the corresponding app on the terminal device. Similarly, the NFC module allows users to configure the parameters of the fill light on the terminal device.

[0027] Furthermore, the anti-spoofing pixel light may also include a power module 7 connected to the control unit 1, the power module 7 supplying power to the light-emitting pixel array through the control unit 1. Correspondingly, the anti-spoofing pixel light may also include a charging interface 8 for connecting an external power source to charge the power module 7.

[0028] Step S1 also includes: the anti-spoofing pixel light is wirelessly connected to a terminal device (such as a mobile phone, computer, etc.), and the anti-spoofing pixel light's luminous pattern and / or symbol is set on the terminal device.

[0029] The anti-spoofing pixel light incorporates both a Bluetooth module and an NFC module 6. The NFC module 6 has pre-written automatic networking instructions. When the anti-spoofing pixel light approaches an NFC-enabled fill light, the NFC module 6 transmits the automatic networking instructions to the fill light. The fill light then resets its own Bluetooth module based on these instructions. The anti-spoofing pixel light can then discover the fill light via Bluetooth and pair with it. The anti-spoofing pixel light can then send control signals to the fill light via Bluetooth. This automatic Bluetooth networking via the NFC module eliminates the tedious manual Bluetooth reset and pairing process.

[0030] by Figure 3 Taking the example of a single group formed by multiple fill lights (such as fill light 1#-fill light 5#), anti-scratching pixel lights, and terminal devices, the control signal for the fill lights can be sent by controlling the anti-scratching pixel lights or by the terminal devices.

[0031] S2, the anti-spoofing pixel light emits light according to the set graphic and / or symbol to provide supplementary lighting for preview.

[0032] Specifically, the anti-scratching pixel light emits light in the form of a set graphic and / or symbol through the luminous pixel array 2.

[0033] Alternatively, the anti-scratching pixel light can store multiple pixel array control signals corresponding to graphics and / or symbols. By pressing a button or controlling it from a terminal device, the switching display control signal of different graphics and / or symbols can be achieved. The control signal is output to the light-emitting pixel array 2, and the corresponding pixels in the light-emitting pixel array 2 light up according to the color, brightness and other parameters corresponding to the control signal; each pixel contains an RGB LED.

[0034] In one embodiment, the anti-scratching pixel light further includes a storage module connected to the control unit 1. The storage module can store pixel array control signals corresponding to various graphics, causing the corresponding pixels in the light-emitting pixel array 2 to emit light according to the pixel array control signals, thereby displaying the graphics. The graphics can also be dynamic graphics. The storage module can store multiple sets of pixel control signal streams corresponding to dynamic graphics, causing the corresponding pixels in the light-emitting pixel array 2 to generate light signals that change over time according to the pixel control signal streams, thereby generating light signals that change over time, and thus multiple pixels combine on the time axis to form a dynamic graphic display effect.

[0035] In one embodiment, graphics from a graphics library can be downloaded to the anti-spoofing pixel light via a terminal device such as a mobile APP, or users can create and edit graphics themselves through the APP interface and write them into the anti-spoofing pixel light to expand the range of graphic display, meet the user's personalized needs, and allow the user to experience the fun of DIY.

[0036] S3, Operation control switch, the anti-scratching pixel light sends a fill light signal to the fill light.

[0037] S4. The fill light emits light according to the received fill light signal and the predetermined fill light parameters.

[0038] Alternatively, the fill light can be wirelessly connected to the terminal device, such as... Figure 3 The fill light shown is connected to the terminal device within a Bluetooth mesh network. The fill light's emission parameters are set on the terminal device; these parameters include on / off mode, emission duration, brightness, color temperature, and color.

[0039] The control switch is located on the anti-spoofing pixel lamp and / or the camera. The control switch may further include at least one of a touch switch, micro switch, Hall sensor, gyroscope, and light sensor. Figure 2 As shown, the anti-scratching pixel light also includes a switch module 5, which is connected to the control switch and the control unit 1 respectively.

[0040] In one embodiment, a control switch is located on the anti-spoofing pixel light. When the control switch is operated, the switch module 5 triggers the control unit 1 to send a supplementary light signal to activate the supplementary light. The supplementary light signal is sent to the supplementary light via the wireless connection module 3. After receiving the supplementary light signal, the supplementary light activates and emits light to achieve the supplementary lighting effect. The location of the control switch on the anti-spoofing pixel light allows for remote operation of the anti-spoofing pixel light, eliminating the need to install it on the camera.

[0041] In another embodiment, the control switch is located on the camera, replaced by the shutter button on the camera. The control unit 1 is equipped with a signal detection circuit connected to the hot shoe interface module 4. By pressing the shutter button on the camera, a fill light signal is sent to activate the fill light. The fill light signal is sent to the fill light lamp via the wireless connection module 3. After receiving the fill light signal, the fill light lamp activates and emits light to achieve the fill light effect.

[0042] Specifically, there are several ways to activate the shutter button on a camera: When the shutter button is half-pressed, a half-press signal is sent through the hot shoe. When the signal detection circuit receives this signal, the light array (formed by multiple fill lights) is activated. The photographer then presses the shutter button to take the picture, and afterwards, the light array is turned off via a control switch. Alternatively, when the shutter button is fully pressed, the light array is activated upon receiving a full-press signal, and then turned off via a control switch; the light array can also be activated by half-pressing the shutter button and deactivated after a 0.5-second delay after fully pressing the shutter button.

[0043] The light array can turn on or off instantly, or it can gradually turn on or off with varying brightness over a short period of time. Controlling the light array to "off" can mean controlling the light array to display at its lowest brightness (almost no light, but the power supply to the lights themselves is not disconnected), or controlling the light array to light up at 10% brightness.

[0044] The control switch can be a touch switch. The touch switch can further include a slider touch switch, which can control the overall brightness change of the light array. For example, it can be controlled by percentage. For instance, during the trial lighting phase, the user can use the app to set the color temperature (dimming parameter 1) of the fill lights 1, 2, and 3 of the light array to K1, K2, and K3 respectively, and their brightness or power (dimming parameter 2) to half, two-thirds, and half of their respective full brightness or full power (dimming parameter 1 and dimming parameter 2 will be stored in the light's cache). After the trial lighting is completed, the light array can be turned off or controlled by a slider to emit light at 20% of dimming parameter 2.

[0045] In the anti-spoofing lighting control method of this invention, a terminal device (such as a mobile phone) can be used as a unified access point to connect the anti-spoofing pixel light and the fill light to a mobile APP (the mobile APP acts as the control center, and the master control signal of the anti-spoofing pixel light needs to be forwarded to each fill light through the mobile phone). Alternatively, the anti-spoofing pixel light can act as the master controller of the fill light. The anti-spoofing pixel light can be networked with the fill light first, and the master control signal of the anti-spoofing pixel light can be directly sent to the fill light. Then, the anti-spoofing pixel light is connected to the APP, allowing all the anti-spoofing pixel light and the connected fill light to be synchronized to the mobile APP and displayed as a single light group on the APP. Multiple light groups can be formed through various combinations of the anti-spoofing pixel light and the fill light. The mobile APP can display and manage these multiple light groups, allowing users to select the appropriate light group to operate according to their needs.

[0046] In a light array consisting of multiple fill lights, these fill lights can be identical or different in structure, such as panel lights, stick lights, or inflatable lights. The fill lights can also be the same or different in model (size, wattage, LED type, lighting mode, etc.). Setting up multiple different fill lights allows photographers to easily arrange lighting according to the shooting theme and task, using multiple lights to form a light array or using only a single light for lighting.

[0047] Fill lights are typically LED lights. Professional LED lighting fixtures usually have DMX modules. Through a DMX interface (such as an XLR connector, commonly known as a XLR connector), they can receive DMX 512 differential signals from a DMX control console (a console used by lighting technicians to control the lighting of multiple lights). The DMX module (DMX chip) receives the DMX signal and converts it into a serial port signal (DMX data stream), which is then output to the MCU (the signal physical layer parser). The MCU receives the DMX data stream, parses it according to the protocol, finds the DMX address assigned to each light fixture, and extracts the value of the corresponding channel. For example, the first channel is for master dimming, the second channel is for red, the third channel is for green, the fourth channel is for blue, etc., to generate multiple control signals to control the lights, so that the drive signals drive each LED to emit light according to the control signals. The MCU can also receive wireless DMX signal data packets from terminal devices and parse them to generate control signals.

[0048] Furthermore, the fill light in this invention may also include a strobe circuit in its internal circuitry. This strobe circuit contains an energy storage capacitor, which can provide a short-duration, high-energy flash (LED flash). Before shooting, the user (photographer) can select the strobe function of the fill light on the terminal device, operate the control switch to trigger the fill light, and the fill light strobes simultaneously when the photographer presses the shutter to take a picture.

[0049] The array of multiple fill lights can also include a flash, which is connected to the fill lights and the anti-smudge pixel light in the same way. During shooting, the flash is controlled to achieve the desired flash effect.

[0050] refer to Figure 3 An embodiment of the present invention provides an anti-spoofing lighting control system for implementing the aforementioned anti-spoofing lighting control method. The anti-spoofing lighting control system may include an anti-spoofing pixel light, at least one supplementary light, and a terminal device. The anti-spoofing pixel light, the supplementary light, and the terminal device are wirelessly connected to form a Bluetooth MESH network. The anti-spoofing pixel light sends a supplementary light signal, and the supplementary light performs a light-emitting action upon receiving the signal. Before sending the supplementary light signal, the anti-spoofing pixel light also provides a supplementary light preview based on a pre-set pattern.

[0051] Furthermore, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3The anti-spoofing pixel light may include a control unit 1, a light-emitting pixel array 2 connected to the control unit 1, a wireless connection module 3, and an NFC module 6. The control unit 1 includes an MCU, etc.; the wireless connection module 3 includes, but is not limited to, a Bluetooth module, a 2.4G wireless communication module, etc. The anti-spoofing pixel light forms a Bluetooth mesh network with one or more fill lights, and can further connect the anti-spoofing pixel light and fill lights to a terminal device for unified management. Terminal devices include mobile phones, computers, etc., and each terminal device has a corresponding APP for control.

[0052] The anti-spoofing pixel light pairs and connects with terminal devices and / or fill lights via its NFC module 6. Through the NFC module 6 settings, when the anti-spoofing pixel light approaches a terminal device or fill light that also has an NFC module, a pairing connection is automatically established, enabling Bluetooth mesh networking and eliminating the tedious manual Bluetooth reset and pairing process. Users can configure the relevant parameters of the anti-spoofing pixel light and fill light within the corresponding application (APP) on the terminal device.

[0053] Furthermore, the anti-spoofing pixel light may also include a power module 7 and a hot shoe interface module 4 connected to the control unit 1, etc. For details, please refer to the relevant descriptions above, which will not be repeated here.

[0054] like Figures 4-5 As shown, in some embodiments of the anti-scratching pixel light of the present invention, the light body 100 and the first connecting base 200 are included, with the light body 100 disposed on the first connecting base 200.

[0055] The first connector 200 is used to snap onto the camera, enabling the entire pixel lamp to be installed on the camera. The lamp body 100 is used to connect to the fill light, which triggers the fill light to provide fill light or flash, improving the shooting effect.

[0056] Among them, the light body 100 is a pixel light that can emit light according to the set graphics and / or symbols to indicate the time of shooting to the subject (such as models, cosplayers, etc.) so as to obtain better shooting results at the time of fill light or flash, and to prevent being photographed by others.

[0057] Specifically, the lamp body 100 includes a hollow lamp housing 10, at least one pixel lamp panel 20 disposed within the lamp housing 10, and a circuit board 30 disposed within the lamp housing 10 and electrically connected to the pixel lamp panel 20. The lamp housing 10 has at least one light-transmitting surface 110, which faces the pixel lamp panel 20, allowing light emitted from the pixel lamp panel 20 to pass through the light-transmitting surface 110 and be emitted outward.

[0058] The lamp housing 10 is an outer shell with internal space to accommodate components such as the pixel lamp panel 20 and the circuit board 30, and its shape also determines the approximate shape of the lamp body 100. The shape of the lamp housing 10 can be, but is not limited to, polygons such as rectangles, circles, or ellipses.

[0059] exist Figure 4 , Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the lamp housing 10 includes a housing 11 open on one side and a light-transmitting panel 12 adapted to the open side of the housing 11. The light-transmitting panel 12 fits onto the open side of the housing 11, forming a sealed outer shell together with the housing 11. The surface where the light-transmitting panel 12 is located forms the light-transmitting surface 110 of the lamp housing 10. A pixel lamp board 20 is disposed inside the lamp housing 10, facing the light-transmitting panel 12.

[0060] Alternatively, the light-transmitting panel 12 is fixed to the open side of the housing 11 by a step fit. In order to improve the sealing performance of the light-transmitting panel 12 on the housing 11 and improve waterproof performance, a sealing ring 13 is provided between the light-transmitting panel 12 and the step on the open side of the housing 11.

[0061] In other embodiments, the housing 11 may have two or more open sides. Taking two open sides as an example, the two open sides may be located on opposite sides or adjacent sides of the housing 11, and the two open sides are respectively sealed by two light-transmitting panels 12. Two pixel lamp panels 20 are correspondingly provided inside the housing 11, and the two pixel lamp panels 20 face the two light-transmitting panels 12 respectively. For the housing 11 with two or more light-transmitting panels 12, the lamp body 100 forms a multi-faceted light-emitting lamp body.

[0062] The light-transmitting panel 12 may be formed entirely or partially of a light-transmitting material, so that all or part of the light-transmitting panel 12 forms a light-transmitting area, and the area of ​​the light-transmitting area is not less than the forward projection area of ​​the pixel light panel 20 on the light-transmitting area.

[0063] Furthermore, the light-transmitting panel 12 can be made of a material with high light transmittance and low haze value, such as glass, acrylic, PMMA, etc., with a light transmittance greater than 90% and a haze value less than 3%. Using a light-transmitting panel 12 with high light transmittance and low haze value can reduce the overlap of light emitted by the point light sources formed by the pixels of the pixel light panel 20, reduce the blurring of graphic edges, and make the boundaries of the graphics or symbols formed by the pixels of the pixel light panel 20 clearer, making it easier for the observer in front to see clear graphics or symbols. Of course, in some other embodiments, the light-transmitting panel 12 can also be made of a material with medium to low haze value and high light transmittance, such as a material with a haze value between 10% and 25% and a light transmittance greater than 85%. With the light-transmitting panel 12 and the pixel light panel 20 set at close range or even face to face, the "glaring bright spot" at the center of the pixel light emission can be effectively diffused, improving direct viewing comfort, while the edges of the pixel light emission can still be relatively clear without being excessively blurred.

[0064] The lamp housing 10 may also optionally be equipped with a magnetic attachment 14, allowing the anti-scratching pixel lamp to be magnetically fixed to various contact surfaces, such as the back of various electronic devices like mobile phones or tablets, or the surface of a refrigerator. It can be used not only as a pixel lamp in conjunction with electronic devices but also as a refrigerator magnet. Alternatively, the anti-scratching pixel lamp can be magnetically connected to other photographic accessories. The magnetic attachment 14 can be disposed within the housing 11 and close to the back side of the housing 11, or embedded in the back side of the housing 11. The magnetic attachment 14 can further be a ring structure, or it can be a strip, block, or sheet, etc., and its shape is not limited. Taking a lamp housing 10 with a light-transmitting panel 12 as an example, the back side of the housing 11 is opposite to the light-transmitting panel 12, and the lamp body 100 of the pixel lamp forms a lamp structure with front-emitting light and a magnetically attachable back side.

[0065] The pixel lamp board 20 may include a substrate 21 and a pixel array 22 disposed on the surface of the substrate 21 facing the light-transmitting surface 110. The pixel array 22 forms the light-emitting pixel array 2 of the anti-scratch pixel lamp. The pixel array 22 is formed by arranging a number of independently controllable LED beads 221, enabling the pixel array 22 to emit light according to a set pattern and / or symbol. The pixel lamp board 20 is electrically connected to the circuit board 30 through the substrate 21. By setting the conductive circuit, all LED beads 221 in the pixel array 22 are arranged such that one pole (positive or negative) of LED beads 221 located in the same column or row is connected to the same conductive circuit, and the other pole (negative or positive) is connected to a different conductive circuit, thereby realizing individual control of each LED bead 221. Alternatively, the two poles of all LED beads 221 are connected to different conductive circuits respectively, realizing individual control of each LED bead 221.

[0066] According to the settings, the pixel array 22 can emit light according to graphics / symbols such as numbers, letters, and arrows, thereby displaying the corresponding graphics and / or symbols on the light-transmitting surface 110 of the lamp body 100.

[0067] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 5 The control unit 1, wireless connection module 3, hot shoe interface module 4, switch module 5, NFC module 6 and power module 7 are integrated on the circuit board 30.

[0068] Alternatively, the substrate 21 of the pixel lamp board 20 can be configured according to the inner circumferential shape of the lamp housing 10, so that the substrate 21 is positioned inside the lamp housing 10 by its outer circumference engaging with the inner circumference of the lamp housing 10. The inner circumference of the lamp housing 10 may further be provided with positioning slots that engage with the outer circumference of the substrate 21.

[0069] When some of the LED beads 221 in the pixel array 22 are damaged and cannot emit light normally, the pixel lamp board 20 can be removed by opening the light-transmitting panel 12 and replacing the damaged LED beads 221, or a new pixel lamp board 20 can be directly replaced.

[0070] The LED bead 221 can be selected from LED beads, or further selected from RGB beads.

[0087] In some embodiments, the hot shoe mount further includes a hot shoe mainboard, with conductive terminals 220 and conductive elements 230 electrically connected to the hot shoe mainboard. The hot shoe mainboard can be electrically connected to the circuit board 30 via a connecting cable such as a flexible flat cable, thereby electrically connecting the conductive terminals 220 and conductive elements 230 to the circuit board 30 through the hot shoe mainboard. In the conductive components, at least one conductive terminal 220 is used to receive a shutter button signal from the camera and transmit this shutter button signal to the circuit board 30 via the hot shoe mainboard, causing the circuit board 30 to control the pixel lamp panel to illuminate some pixels to display a set graphic, which may be a static graphic or a dynamic graphic.
