Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determining".

[0041] With the rapid development of AR technology, the market demand for AR functions is increasing. In terminal devices (such as mobile phones, learning machines, tablet computers, etc.), the implementation of AR functions has become the focus of attention.

[0042] The implementation process of AR technology is mainly to achieve the effect of virtual-real fusion by shooting images of the real world and then superimposing virtual three-dimensional models or information on the captured images. In the related technology, there are two main ways to realize AR function on terminal devices: one is to set an external AR lens on the terminal device, reflect the image to be collected through the AR lens, and collect the image reflected by the AR lens by the image acquisition component in the terminal device to realize the AR function. However, this method has problems such as unclear images and complicated implementation process; the other method is to install an image acquisition component (such as a camera, etc.) with lifting and rotating functions in the terminal device, collect the image to be collected by rotating and lifting the image acquisition component, and then realize the AR function. However, this method faces problems such as high component precision requirements and low mechanical reliability.

[0043] Based on this, at least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides an image acquisition device and a terminal device. The image acquisition device and the terminal device can be applied to a scenario where the terminal device is a learning machine, and the learning machine is used to implement AR functions on books, exercise books, etc. placed on the desktop. Specifically, the above scenario is as follows Figure 1 As shown, books, exercise books, etc. that need to realize AR function can be placed on the desktop in front of the user, and a connection is established between the image acquisition device and the learning machine. The image acquisition element in the image acquisition device faces the desktop, and can capture images of books, exercise books, etc. on the desktop, and transmit the captured images to the learning machine, so that the learning machine can realize AR function on the captured images (for example, correcting exercises in exercise books, reading aloud text in books, etc.), and display them to the user through a display screen facing the user.

[0044] The first aspect of the present disclosure provides an image acquisition device 100, see Figure 2 The image acquisition device 100 includes at least one image acquisition element 101, and a communication connection that can be opened and closed is provided between the image acquisition element 101 and the terminal device 200; the image acquisition device 100 also includes a device body 102, and a detachable physical connection is provided between the device body 102 and the terminal device 200, and the at least one image acquisition element 101 is arranged on the device body 102, and when the device body 102 is connected to the terminal device 200, the orientation of the image acquisition element 101 is different from the display orientation of the terminal device 200.

[0045] The image acquisition element 101 may be an element with an image acquisition function, such as a camera. The number of the image acquisition element 101 may be one or more. The device body 102 may be a main body shell of the image acquisition device 100, see Figure 3 The device body 102 includes a first part 1021 and a second part 1022. The image acquisition element 101 is disposed on the first part 1021. The second part 1022 is used to establish a connection with the terminal device 200. There is a certain angle between the first part 1021 and the second part 1022, such as Figure 3 As shown, the image acquisition element 101 is arranged on the inner side of the device body 102, that is, on the side of the first part 1021 facing the second part 1022, so that the orientation of the image acquisition element 101 in the image acquisition device 100 is different from the orientation of the terminal device, so that the image acquisition element 101 can capture images of books, exercise books, etc. placed on the desktop, and the display screen of the terminal device 200 faces the user to present a display interface for realizing AR functions based on the captured images to the user.

[0046] Optional, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 By providing a detachable physical connection between the device body and the terminal device, when the image acquisition device needs to capture images of objects or scenes in other locations, or when image acquisition is not required, the device body and the terminal device can be disassembled, which can make it easier for the image acquisition device to implement other image acquisition functions, and when there is no need to use the image acquisition device for image acquisition, it can make it easier to carry the terminal device. When the device body is connected to the terminal device, when the image acquisition device 100 is connected to the terminal device 200, the orientation of the image acquisition element is different from the display orientation of the terminal device, which can improve the effectiveness of image acquisition and make it easier for users to view the display screen. For example, Figure 1 In the scenario, the image acquisition component can be used to capture images of books or exercise books placed on the desktop, and then the terminal device can implement the AR function based on the captured image and display it to the user through the terminal device display facing the user.

[0047] When the device body of the image acquisition device in the embodiment of the present disclosure is connected to the terminal device, the orientation of the image acquisition element of the image acquisition device is different from the display orientation of the terminal device, and the image acquisition element can effectively acquire images that are different from the display orientation of the terminal device, and transmit the acquired images to the terminal device, so that the terminal device can realize the AR function based on the image, and display it to the user through the display screen; in particular, compared with the method of realizing image acquisition by means of reflection of external AR lenses in the related art, the clarity of the acquired images can be improved. When the user does not enable the AR function of the device, the device body and the terminal device can also be disassembled into a split structure, thereby simplifying the structure of the terminal device, avoiding the influence of complex image acquisition devices on the use and storage of the terminal device, etc., and improving the mechanical reliability of the terminal device; in particular, compared with the method of realizing image acquisition by setting an image acquisition element that can be lifted and rotated in the related art, the structural stability and service life of the device are improved.

[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, see Figure 6 The image acquisition device 100 is also provided with a physical connection component 103 fixedly connected to the component body 102, and is used to establish a detachable physical connection with the terminal device 200.

[0049] Among them, the physical connection component 103 can be a component that can establish a physical connection with the terminal device 200, such as a snap, a magnetic material (such as a magnet), etc.

[0050] Optionally, by providing a physical connection component 103 on the image acquisition device 100, the image acquisition device 100 can flexibly establish a detachable physical connection with the terminal device 200. It should be noted that, when the physical connection component 103 on the image acquisition device 100 is a two-way connection component such as a magnet, the terminal device 200 should be equipped with a corresponding physical connection component 201 to cooperate with the image acquisition device 100 to establish a detachable physical connection.

[0051] In an exemplary embodiment, when the physical connection component 103 includes a magnetic substance, see Figure 7 The image acquisition device 100 also includes a Hall sensor 104 , and the distance between the Hall sensor 104 and the physical connection component 103 is less than the maximum detection radius of the Hall sensor 104 .

[0052] The Hall sensor 104 may be a sensor for detecting the existence and position of magnetic substances.

[0053] Optionally, when the physical connection component 103 is a magnetic material, by setting a Hall sensor 104 in the image acquisition device 100, the physical connection component 201 in the terminal device 200 can be detected by the Hall sensor 104; by setting the distance between the Hall sensor 104 and the physical connection component 103 to be smaller than the maximum detection radius of the Hall sensor 104, when the Hall sensor 104 detects the physical connection component 201 in the terminal device 200, it can be determined that a physical connection is established between the image acquisition device 100 and the terminal device 200, and then the image acquisition element 101 in the image acquisition device 100 can be automatically controlled to acquire images, thereby realizing automatic image acquisition of the image acquisition device 100 and improving the efficiency of image acquisition.

[0054] Based on the above embodiments, in an exemplary embodiment, see Figure 8 The image acquisition device 100 includes a pin assembly 105 , and when the image acquisition device 100 is connected to the terminal device 200 , the pin assembly 105 establishes a communication connection with the pin assembly 202 in the terminal device 200 .

[0055] The spring pin assembly 105 may be a small component for connecting electronic devices, including a spring pin or a spring contactor. It should be noted that the position of the spring pin assembly 105 can be seen on the image acquisition device 100, and the user can align and connect the spring pin assembly 105 in the image acquisition device 100 and the spring pin assembly 202 in the terminal device 200 according to the position of the spring pin assembly 105, thereby establishing a communication connection between the image acquisition device 100 and the terminal device 200.

[0056] Optionally, when the image acquisition device 100 includes the spring needle assembly 105 and the terminal device 200 includes the spring needle assembly 202, and the communication connection between the image acquisition device 100 and the terminal device 200 needs to be established through the spring needle assembly 105 and the spring needle assembly 202, the communication connection between the image acquisition device 100 and the terminal device 200 will be established through the spring needle assembly 105 only when a physical connection has been established between the image acquisition device 100 and the terminal device 200. By providing the spring needle assembly 105, the circuit between the image acquisition device 100 and the terminal device 200 can be connected or disconnected more flexibly. When the image acquisition device 100 is not needed to capture an image, the communication connection between the image acquisition device 100 and the terminal device 200 can be quickly disconnected, thereby achieving the effect of saving electric energy of the image acquisition device 100 and the terminal device 200.

[0057] Furthermore, in a case where a communication connection has been established between the image acquisition device 100 and the terminal device 200 through the pin assembly 105 and the pin assembly 202, after the image acquisition element 101 acquires the image, the acquired image can be transmitted to the terminal device 200 based on the connection circuit established in advance between the pin assembly 105 and the pin assembly 202 in the terminal device 200, so that the terminal device 200 can implement an AR function based on the acquired image.

[0058] It should be noted that, when the pin assembly 105 in the image acquisition device 100 establishes a communication connection with the pin assembly 202 in the terminal device 200, the terminal device 200 can power the image acquisition element 101 in the image acquisition device 100 through the pin assembly 105 so that the image acquisition element 101 can acquire images.

[0059] In this embodiment, by setting the spring pin assembly 105 in the image acquisition device 100, it is possible to achieve rapid connection and disconnection of communication between the image acquisition device 100 and the terminal device 200. When a communication connection is established between the image acquisition device 100 and the terminal device 200, stable transmission of power and data can be achieved. Moreover, in the current scenario, there is a need for frequent connection and disconnection between the image acquisition device 100 and the terminal device 200. By setting the spring pin assembly 105 in the image acquisition device 100, the durability and life of the image acquisition device 100 can be improved, and the good performance of the image acquisition device 100 is guaranteed during long-term use.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, the relative position between the physical connection component 103 in the image acquisition device 100 and the elastic pin component 105 in the image acquisition device 100 is the same as the relative position between the physical connection component 201 in the terminal device 200 and the elastic pin component 202 in the terminal device.

[0061] Optionally, if the physical connection component 103 is a bidirectional connection component (such as a magnet, etc.), the relative position between the physical connection component 103 and the pin component 105 in the image acquisition device 100 is as follows: Figure 8 In the case shown in FIG. 1 , the relative position between the physical connection component 201 in the terminal device 200 and the spring pin component 202 in the terminal device should be as follows: Fig. 9Furthermore, when the image acquisition device 100 is connected to the terminal device 200, a physical connection is established between the physical connection component 103 in the image acquisition device 100 and the physical connection component 201 in the terminal device 200, and a connection state is also established between the elastic needle component 105 in the image acquisition device 100 and the elastic needle component 202 in the terminal device 200, that is, a physical connection and a communication connection are established between the image acquisition device 100 and the terminal device 200.

[0062] In this embodiment, by setting the relative position between the physical connection component 103 in the image acquisition device 100 and the elastic pin component 105 in the image acquisition device 100 to be the same as the relative position between the physical connection component 201 in the terminal device 200 and the elastic pin component 202 in the terminal device 200, it is possible to achieve that when a physical connection is established between the physical connection component 103 and the physical connection component 201, the elastic pin component 105 and the elastic pin component 202 can be automatically aligned and connected, thereby establishing a communication connection between the image acquisition device 100 and the terminal device 200, and achieving stable transmission of power and data between the image acquisition device 100 and the terminal device 200.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, see Fig.10 The image acquisition device 100 also includes a Bluetooth module 106 for establishing a communication connection with the terminal device 200.

[0064] Optionally, by setting a Bluetooth module 106 in the image acquisition device 100, it can be connected to the Bluetooth module 230 in the terminal device 200, so that a communication connection is established between the image acquisition device 100 and the terminal device 200. It is not only possible to acquire images around the terminal device 200, but also possible to be separated from the terminal device 200 and acquire images that are farther away from the terminal device 200, and the acquired images can be transmitted to the terminal device 200, thereby improving the flexibility of the image acquisition device.

[0065] In an exemplary embodiment, see Fig.11 The image acquisition device 100 also includes a mainboard 107, and the mainboard 107 is used to interact with the terminal device 200.

[0066] The mainboard 107 may be the central core of the image acquisition device 100 , and is used to control the image acquisition element 101 to acquire images, transmit the images acquired by the at least one image acquisition element 101 to the terminal device 200 , and other functions.

[0067] Optionally, the Hall sensor 104 may be integrated on the mainboard 107 . When the Hall sensor 104 detects that a connection is established between the terminal device 200 and the image acquisition device 100 , the mainboard 107 may directly control the image acquisition element 101 to automatically acquire images.

[0068] In this embodiment, by providing the mainboard 107 in the image acquisition device 100, the image acquisition device 100 can realize multiple functions, thereby improving the overall performance and reliability of the image acquisition device 100, and further improving the user experience.

[0069] In an exemplary embodiment, see Fig.11 , the image acquisition device 100 further includes a battery assembly 108 for supplying power to the image acquisition element; see Fig.12 The image acquisition device 100 also includes a charging interface 109 , which is disposed on the device body 102 and is used to charge the battery assembly 108 .

[0070] Optionally, by providing a battery assembly 108 in the image acquisition device 100, the image acquisition element 101 can be powered by the battery assembly 108, so that the image acquisition element 101 can acquire images, thereby improving the flexibility and simplicity of the image acquisition device 100; and further, a charging interface 109 is provided on the device body 102, and the battery assembly 108 can be charged through the charging interface 109.

[0071] Different from the communication connection established between the elastic pin assembly 105 and the elastic pin assembly 202 in the terminal device 200, the terminal device 200 supplies power to the image acquisition element 101 in the image acquisition device 100. By providing a battery assembly 108 and a charging interface 109 in the image acquisition device 100, another power supply method is provided for the image acquisition device 100, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of the image acquisition device 100 and improving the user experience.

[0072] In an exemplary embodiment, see Fig.13 The image acquisition device 100 also includes a device bracket 1010 fixedly connected to the device body 102 , and the device bracket 1010 is used to support the image acquisition device 100 .

[0073] Optionally, one end of the device bracket 1010 can be fixed on the device body 102, and the other end can be separated from the device body 102, so that the device bracket 1010 and the device body 102 form an angle to provide stable support for the image acquisition device 100. When the image acquisition device 100 is separated from the terminal device 200, it can be combined with the Bluetooth module 106, the battery assembly 108 and the charging interface 109 to provide the image acquisition device 100 with independent use functions. Specifically, the charging interface 109 charges the battery assembly 108, so that the battery assembly can supply power to the image acquisition element 101, so that the image acquisition element 101 can capture images; then a communication connection is established with the terminal device 200 through the Bluetooth module 106, and the image captured by the image acquisition element 101 is transmitted to the terminal device 200, so that the terminal device 200 can realize the AR function based on the transmitted image and display it to the user through the display screen.

[0074] In this embodiment, a device bracket 1010 is provided to support the image acquisition device 100 , so that the image acquisition device 100 can stand stably at any position and be used independently without being connected to the terminal device 200 , thereby improving the flexibility of the image acquisition device 100 .

[0075] In a second aspect, the present disclosure further provides a terminal device, which is physically connected to an image acquisition device in a detachable manner, and when the terminal device is connected to the image acquisition device, the display orientation of the terminal device is different from the orientation of an image acquisition element in the image acquisition device.

[0076] Optional, see Fig. 9 In the case where the physical connection component 103 in the image acquisition device 100 is a bidirectional connection component (such as a magnet, etc.), the terminal device 200 should be equipped with a physical connection component 201 to establish a detachable physical connection with the image acquisition device 100.

[0077] Further, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the terminal device 200 should be provided with an elastic needle assembly 202 that is the same as the elastic needle assembly 105 in the image acquisition device 100. When the terminal device 200 is physically connected to the image acquisition device 100, a communication connection can be established with the elastic needle assembly 105 in the image acquisition device 100 through the elastic needle assembly 202, and then based on the established communication connection, stable transmission of power and data can be achieved with the image acquisition device 100.

[0078] In this embodiment, by enabling the terminal device 200 to be detachably physically connected to the image acquisition device 100, the flexibility of the terminal device 200 can be improved; further, when the terminal device 200 is connected to the image acquisition device 100, by setting the display orientation of the terminal device 200 to be different from the orientation of the image acquisition element 101 in the image acquisition device 100, the image acquisition device 100 can not only effectively acquire images, but also more clearly display the AR function based on the image to the user through the display screen, thereby improving the user experience.

[0079] Optional, see Fig.14 , which exemplarily shows a hardware schematic diagram of a terminal device. For example, the device 1400 may be a mobile phone, a computer, a digital broadcast terminal, a messaging device, a game console, a tablet device, a medical device, a fitness device, a personal digital assistant, etc.

In addition, the processing component 1401 may include one or more modules to facilitate the interaction between the processing component 1401 and other components. For example, the processing component 1401 may include a multimedia module to facilitate the interaction between the multimedia component 1404 and the processing component 1401.
