[0046] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description is presented in connection with the drawings, in which the same numbers indicate the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0047] The remote control in the related art has a single function and cannot meet the multiple needs of users, affecting the use experience.

[0048] To solve the problems in the related art, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a remote control and a shooting system. The remote control includes a communication device, a display component, and a sound collecting device. The communication device is configured to transmit data with a shooting device. The display component is configured to preview a picture shot by the shooting device. The display component is also configured to set a shooting parameter of the shooting device. The sound collecting device is electrically connected to the communication device. The sound collecting device is configured to collect audio data within a preset range of the remote control. The audio data matches the picture of the shooting device in the shooting system. In the present disclosure, the display component and the sound collecting device are integrated in the remote control. The remote control can preview the picture shot by the shooting device, collect sound within a certain range of the remote control, and generate audio data matching the picture, thereby improving the competitiveness of the product in remote collaboration and selfie scenarios.

[0049] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present embodiment provides a remote control 100. The remote control 100 is independent of a shooting device 200. The shooting device 200 includes, but is not limited to, a video camera, a motion camera, a surveillance camera, a smartphone, a tablet computer, a drone, and the like. The remote control 100 provided by the present embodiment can establish a communication connection with the shooting device 200. The communication connection includes wired connection and wireless connection. The wired connection is, for example, to connect the remote control 100 and the shooting device 200 together using a data line long enough (selected according to the adaptability of the use scenario). The wireless connection is, for example, that the remote control 100 and the shooting device 200 can realize directional data transmission through a specific protocol. It can be understood that the communication connection enables the user to control the shooting device 200 from a position far away from the shooting device 200, so as to meet some specific needs. For example, in an industrial maintenance scenario, the on-site personnel carry the shooting device 200, and the experts guide the on-site personnel through the remote control 100. For another example, in a selfie (shooting vlog, etc.) scenario, the shooting device 200 is placed at a certain distance from the user, and the user remotely controls the selfie, previews, etc. through the remote control 100.

[0050] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the remote controller 100 comprises a housing 10 for mounting and protecting other devices of the remote controller 100. In one example, the housing 10 is provided with a cuboid structure, and the height direction of the cuboid is the thickness direction of the remote controller 100.

[0051] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the remote controller 100 comprises a communication device 20 for realizing data transmission between the remote controller 100 and the shooting device 200. Among them, the remote controller 100 and the shooting device 200 can be bidirectional data transmission, that is, the remote controller 100 can send control signals, audio data (to be described in detail below) and the like to the shooting device 200 through the communication device 20, and the shooting device 200 can also transmit the shooting picture to the remote controller 100 for preview. The communication device 20 is arranged in the housing 10, including but not limited to a Bluetooth module and a Wi-Fi module. Both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi transmission have the characteristics of convenient and fast, flexible and safe, low cost and low power consumption.

[0052] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the remote controller 100 comprises a display assembly 30 arranged in the housing 10. In one example, along the thickness direction of the remote controller 100, the surface of the cuboid enclosed by the long side and the wide side is used to arrange the display screen 31 of the display assembly 30. The display assembly 30 is arranged to be electrically connected with the communication device 20. In one example, the picture shot by the shooting device 200 can be transmitted to the communication device 20 and then to the display assembly 30, and displayed on the display screen 31 of the display assembly 30 for preview, for example, the user fixes the shooting device 200 on a selfie stick for shooting, and the shooting device 200 is far away from the user and it is not convenient to watch the viewfinder picture. At this time, the user can preview the shooting picture by means of the display screen 31 of the remote controller 100. In another example, the display screen 31 of the display assembly 30 can be touch-operated. The display screen 31 of the remote controller 100 has a UI for adjusting the shooting parameters. The user can operate on the display screen 31 to adjust the shooting parameters of the shooting device 200, including but not limited to shooting mode, aperture coefficient, shutter speed, sensitivity and gimbal angle.

[0053] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 , the remote controller 100 further comprises a sound collecting device 40 capable of collecting audio data within a preset range of the remote controller 100 itself. The sound collecting device 40 works simultaneously with the shooting device 200, so as to generate matching audio data and shooting picture, that is, audio-picture synchronization.

[0054] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by integrating the display component and the sound collecting device in the remote controller, the remote controller is enabled to preview the shooting picture of the shooting device, collect sound within a certain range of the remote controller, and generate audio data matched with the shooting picture, thereby improving the competitiveness of the product in remote collaboration, self-shooting and other scenarios.

[0055] In one example embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present disclosure provides a remote controller 100, which includes a communication device 20, a display component 30, and a sound collecting device 40. The communication device 20 is configured to transmit data to a shooting device 200. The display component 30 is configured to preview a picture shot by the shooting device 200 and / or set a shooting parameter of the shooting device 200. The sound collecting device 40 is electrically connected to the communication device 20. The sound collecting device 40 is configured to collect audio data within a preset range of the remote controller 100. The audio data is matched with the picture of the shooting device 200 in a shooting system.

[0056] As shown in Figure 1 , the sound collecting device 40 is electrically connected to the communication device 20. The communication device 20 is capable of transmitting the audio data to the shooting device 200, so that the audio data is matched with the picture shot by the shooting device 200, and then video data with audio and picture synchronization is generated.

[0057] In one example, the communication device 20 of the remote controller 100 is configured to send the audio data to the shooting device 200 when the shooting device 200 collects an image.

[0058] In another example, the communication device 20 is configured not to transmit the audio data when the shooting device 200 shoots a picture, but to store the audio data in a storage module 50 (to be described in detail later) of the remote controller 100, and transmit the audio data to the shooting device 200 after the shooting of the picture is completed (for example, in the case of good communication quality and fast transmission speed), so as to reduce or avoid the loss of the audio data due to poor communication quality.

[0059] The storage module 50 is arranged in the housing 10 and is electrically connected to the sound collecting device 40. The storage module 50 has a function of storing the audio data collected by the sound collecting device 40. The storage module 50 includes, for example, a secure digital card (SD card). By arranging the storage module 50 in the remote controller 100, the remote controller 100 can be used as a sound collecting and recording device alone, thereby expanding the application scenarios of the remote controller 100.

[0060] As shown in Figure 1As shown, the remote controller 100 further comprises a positioning module 60, which is arranged in the housing 10 and electrically connected with the communication device 20. The remote controller 100 can send its own position data to the shooting device 200 through the positioning module 60 to assist in finding the device when the user loses it. The positioning mode of the positioning module 60 is, for example, GPS positioning, cellular network positioning, Bluetooth positioning, Wi-Fi positioning, or a multi-mode positioning formed by combining any two or more of the foregoing.

[0061] In some optional embodiments, the remote controller 100 can also be a cycling meter. The user can fix the remote controller 100 on a movable object such as a bicycle or a motorcycle when riding. The positioning module 60 of the remote controller 100 can provide positioning data and be displayed by the display assembly 30, such as providing the user with cycling data such as riding speed, distance, trajectory, and slope, to improve the user's riding experience.

[0062] In one exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The remote controller 100 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a communication device 20, a display assembly 30, and a sound collecting device 40. The communication device 20 is used for data transmission with a shooting device 200. The display assembly 30 is used for preview display of a picture shot by the shooting device 200, and / or the display assembly 30 is used for setting a shooting parameter of the shooting device 200. The sound collecting device 40 is electrically connected with the communication device 20. The sound collecting device 40 is configured to collect audio data within a preset range of the remote controller 100. The audio data is matched with the picture of the shooting device 200 in a shooting system.

[0063] The remote controller 100 provided by the embodiment can comprise any structure of the remote controller 100 provided by the foregoing embodiments.

[0064] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sound collecting device 40 comprises a mounting bracket 41, which is detachably connected with the housing 10 of the remote controller 100. The mounting bracket 41 defines a cavity of a preset shape to fix a microphone 42 and various functional elements of the sound collecting device 40. For example, the microphone 42 and various functional elements can be first fixed in the cavity of the mounting bracket 41, and then the mounting bracket 41 is connected with the housing 10. In this way, the assembly yield and efficiency can be improved. The microphone 42 is an energy conversion device that can convert a sound signal into an electric signal, but is not limited thereto.

[0065] Referring to Figure 3The microphone 40 contains multiple functional components, including a first protective layer 43 and a second protective layer 44. The first protective layer 43 is disposed between the microphone 42 and the second protective layer 44. The first protective layer 43 and the second protective layer 44 provide multiple layers of protection for the microphone 42 and improve the microphone 42's sound reception quality. (See also...) Figure 3 The first protective layer 43 is connected to the housing 10 and the microphone 42 and is located on the receiving side of the microphone 42. The first protective layer 43 is a protective membrane, such as a waterproof and breathable membrane, that can block moisture but allows gas to pass through. The second protective layer 44 is used to reduce wind noise to improve sound reception quality. In one example, the second protective layer 44 can be a membrane made of a porous structure (such as a sponge). The pores in the second protective layer 44 can disperse and reduce the sound caused by gas impacts, thereby reducing wind noise.

[0066] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the various functional components of the microphone 40 also include a buffer 45 and a protective mesh 46, both of which are used to protect the microphone layer. The buffer 45 is disposed between the microphone 42 and the housing 10. The buffer 45 provides cushioning protection for the microphone 42. When the housing 10 is impacted by an external object, the buffer 45 can deform to reduce the impact received by the microphone 42. In addition, the buffer 45 can also attenuate noise generated at the impact point, reducing the impact of solid-borne sound (such as the housing 10) on sound reception, thereby improving the sound reception quality of the microphone 42. The protective net 46 is connected to the housing 10 and is disposed on the side of the second protective layer 44 opposite to the first protective layer 43. In one example, the protective net 46 includes a metal mesh 461 and a mesh 462 stacked together. The metal mesh 461 has a larger mesh opening but higher structural strength than the mesh 462. Therefore, the metal mesh 461 can be placed on the outermost side to block larger particles and provide protection for the mesh 462. The mesh 462 is used to block small particles.

[0067] Among them, such as Figure 2As shown, at least one physical button 70 is provided on the surface of the housing 10. The physical button 70 is configured to control the remote control 100 to perform preset functions. The physical button 70 includes, but is not limited to, any one of the following: a power button, a shooting button, a volume control button, and a mode switch button. The power button can be used to switch the remote control 100 between a powered-on state, a sleep state, and a powered-off state. In some optional embodiments, the power button can also be used to switch the shooting device 200 between a powered-on state, a sleep state, and a powered-off state. The shooting button enables the remote control 100 to control the shooting device 200 to start, pause, or stop shooting. The volume control button can be used to adjust the volume of the microphone 40 in the remote control 100. The mode switch button can be used to control the shooting device 200 to switch shooting modes, including but not limited to video recording mode, photo mode, time-lapse photography mode, panoramic shooting mode, and night scene shooting mode.

[0068] It should be noted that each physical button can be set to have an independent function, and when two or more physical buttons are used in combination, they can also form a new function. Users can customize the functions of the physical buttons according to their own usage habits.

[0069] The physical button 70 can be triggered by pressing, sliding, or rotating, but this embodiment does not impose any restrictions.

[0070] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the housing 10 of the remote controller 100 is provided with an adapter structure (not shown in the attached figure). The adapter structure is used to connect the remote controller 100 to an external fixed structure, such as a hat brim, wall, or clothing. The adapter structure may include one or more of the following: a magnet, an elastic clip, a threaded hole, a buckle, and a lanyard. In some optional embodiments, the external fixed structure may also be a gimbal, such as a handheld gimbal or an airborne gimbal; for example, the remote controller 100 can be detachably adapted to the handle of a handheld gimbal.

[0071] In some alternative embodiments, the remote controller 100 also includes an attitude measurement unit, such as a gyroscope or an IMU. When the remote controller 100 is detached from the handle of the handheld gimbal and used separately, the remote controller 100 can send commands to control the rotation of the gimbal or to control the gimbal to switch shooting modes based on the measurement data of the attitude measurement unit, thereby realizing motion control of the gimbal.

[0072] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a shooting system, which includes a shooting device 200 and a remote controller 100 provided in any of the foregoing embodiments of this disclosure. The remote controller 100 is communicatively connected to the shooting device 200. The shooting system provided in this embodiment has all the technical features and effects of the remote controller 100, which will not be repeated here.

[0073] Other embodiments of the disclosure will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the embodiments disclosed herein.
