The first microcontroller unit is used to control the shooting device to be in a non-working state in response to the low-level signal.

[0016] Alternatively, the magnetic component may be used to trigger the Hall switch component to generate a high-level signal when the selfie stick is in the second form, and transmit the signal to the first microcontroller unit.

The described embodiments should not be regarded as limitations on this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

It is understood that "first / second / third" may be interchanged in a specific order or sequence where permitted, so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0047] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of this application only and is not intended to limit this application.

[0048] Please see Figure 1 Here is a schematic diagram of the selfie stick provided in the embodiments of this application:

[0049] This application embodiment provides a selfie stick 20, which is used to be connected to a shooting device 10, and the selfie stick 20 is provided with a passive sensing component 21;

[0050] The passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the shooting device 10 to generate a sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 is in different states, and to control the shooting device 10 to be in a working state or a non-working state through the sensing signal.

[0051] In this embodiment, the shooting device 10 may include a camera, a mobile phone, or other devices with shooting functions. "In working state" can mean that the shooting device 10 is powered on or awake, while "in non-working state" can mean that the shooting device 10 is powered off or in sleep state.

[0052] When the selfie stick 20 is in different forms, the distance between the passive sensing component 21 and the shooting device 10 is different. Under the influence of the different distances between the shooting device 10 and the passive sensing component 21, the shooting device 10 generates sensing signals corresponding to different forms. The shooting device 10 controls whether it is in a working state or a non-working state through the sensing signals in different forms.

[0053] In this embodiment, the passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the shooting device 10 to generate a sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 is in different states, and to control the shooting device 10 to be in a working state or a non-working state through the sensing signal. Thus, when switching the working state of the shooting device 10 on the selfie stick 20, only the form of the selfie stick 20 needs to be changed to quickly switch the working state of the shooting device 10. Compared with the related technology's solution of switching the shooting device 10 on the selfie stick 20, this reduces the steps of manually controlling the selfie stick 20 buttons, reduces the operation process, saves time, and allows for quick and timely control of the shooting device 10 to be in a working state or a non-working state.

[0054] Please continue reading. Figure 1 Here is a block diagram of the selfie stick 20 provided in this embodiment of the application:

[0055] In this embodiment, the passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the shooting device 10 to generate a first sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 is in the first form, and control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state through the first sensing signal; or, the passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the shooting device 10 to generate a second sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 is in the second form, and control the shooting device 10 to be in a working state through the second sensing signal; wherein, the distance between the shooting device 10 and the passive sensing component 21 when the selfie stick 20 is in the first form is less than the distance between the shooting device 10 and the passive sensing component 21 when the selfie stick 20 is in the second form.

[0056] In this embodiment, the selfie stick 20 can be a folding stick or a telescopic stick. When the selfie stick 20 is a folding stick, its first form includes a folded form, and its second form includes an unfolded form. When the selfie stick 20 is a telescopic stick, its first form includes a shortened form, and its second form includes an extended form.

[0057] The passive sensing component 21 includes a magnetic component or a passive metal component. The shooting device is equipped with an active sensing component that generates the sensing signal upon triggering by the magnetic component or the passive metal component. When the passive sensing component 21 is a magnetic component, a corresponding active sensing component (Hall switch component) can be provided within the shooting device 10. The Hall switch component is used to trigger and output a low-level signal (first sensing signal) through the magnetic component when the selfie stick 20 is in its first state (folded or shortened state). The shooting device 10 is controlled to be in a non-working state by the low-level signal. The Hall switch component is used to trigger and output a high-level signal (second sensing signal) through the magnetic component when the selfie stick 20 is in its second state (unfolded or extended state). The shooting device 10 is controlled to be in a working state by the high-level signal. When the passive sensing component 21 is a passive metal component, a corresponding microwave network analyzer can be installed in the shooting device 10. The microwave network analyzer is used to output a first reflected signal (first sensing signal) through the reflected signal of the passive metal component when the selfie stick 20 is in the first form (folded form or shortened form). The shooting device 10 controls the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state through the first reflected signal. The Hall switch component is used to output a second reflected signal (second sensing signal) through the reflected signal of the magnetic component when the selfie stick 20 is in the second form (unfolded form or extended form). The shooting device 10 controls the shooting device 10 to be in a working state through the second reflected signal.

[0058] In this way, when the selfie stick 20 is folded or shortened, that is, when the user does not need to open the shooting device 10 to take a picture, the user can quickly and promptly control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state through the current form of the selfie stick 20, without having to manually control the selfie stick 20 button to control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state, thus satisfying the requirement of timely control of the shooting device 10 to be in a working state. Similarly, when the selfie stick 20 is unfolded or extended, that is, when the user needs to open the shooting device 10 to take a picture, the user can quickly and promptly control the shooting device 10 to be in a working state through the current form of the selfie stick 20, without having to manually control the selfie stick 20 button to control the shooting device 10 to be in a working state, thus satisfying the requirement of timely control of the shooting device 10 to be in a working state.

[0059] Please see Figure 2 Here is a schematic diagram of the structure of the selfie stick provided in the embodiments of this application:

[0060] In this embodiment, when the selfie stick 20 is a folding stick, the selfie stick 20 includes: N sub-sticks 22 that are folded and connected in sequence, where N is an integer greater than 0; the shooting device 10 is folded and connected to the first of the N sub-sticks 22, and the passive sensing component 21 is disposed on the Nth sub-stick 22. In other embodiments, the passive sensing component 21 may also be disposed on other sub-sticks 22.

[0061] In this embodiment, the selfie stick 20 includes N sequentially folded and connected sub-sticks 22. The selfie stick 20 changes shape during folding or unfolding, causing a change in the distance between the passive sensing component 21 and the shooting device 10. The passive sensing component 21 triggers the shooting device 10 to generate a first sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 changes shape to a distance d between the passive sensing component 21 and the shooting device 10 that is less than a first preset distance. The shooting device 10 then controls itself to be in a non-working state via the first sensing signal. Alternatively, the passive sensing component 21 triggers the shooting device 10 to generate a second sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 changes shape to a distance d greater than a second preset distance (the first preset distance is not greater than the second preset distance). The shooting device 10 then controls itself to be in a working state via the second sensing signal. In this way, during the folding process of the selfie stick 20, the shooting device 10 can be quickly and promptly put into a non-working state by folding the selfie stick 20 to a certain condition, without the need to manually control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state, thus satisfying the requirement for timely inactivity of the shooting device 10. Similarly, during the unfolding process of the selfie stick 20, the shooting device 10 can be quickly and promptly put into a working state by unfolding the selfie stick 20 to a certain condition, without the need to manually control the shooting device 10 to be in a working state, thus satisfying the requirement for timely inactivity of the shooting device 10.

[0062] Please see Figure 3 Here is a schematic diagram of the structure of the selfie stick provided in the embodiments of this application:

[0063] In this embodiment of the application, the selfie stick 20 includes: a sub-stick 22 and a folding connecting assembly 23; the shooting device 10 is connected to the first end of the sub-stick 22 through the folding connecting assembly 23; the sub-stick 22 is provided with the passive sensing assembly 21.

[0064] When the selfie stick 20 is in the first form, the passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the shooting device 10 to generate the first sensing signal, and control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state through the first sensing signal; or, when the selfie stick 20 is in the second form, the passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the shooting device 10 to generate the second sensing signal, and control the shooting device 10 to be in a working state through the second sensing signal.

[0065] In this embodiment, the selfie stick 20 includes only one sub-stick 22, and when folded, the selfie stick 20 folds parallel to the shooting device 10. This not only reduces the size of the selfie stick 20, making it easy to carry, but also allows the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state by sensing the distance between itself and the passive sensing component 21, eliminating the need for manual control of the selfie stick 20 button. Similarly, in the second form, the shooting device 10 can be controlled to be in a working state by sensing the distance between itself and the passive sensing component 21, again eliminating the need for manual control of the selfie stick 20 button and ensuring timely activation of the shooting device.

[0066] Please see Figure 4 Here is a schematic diagram of the structure of the selfie stick provided in the embodiments of this application:

[0067] In this embodiment, when the selfie stick 20 is a telescopic stick, the selfie stick 20 includes: M telescopic sub-sticks 24, where M is an integer greater than 1; the shooting device 10 is connected to the first telescopic sub-stick 24 among the M telescopic sub-sticks 24. In this embodiment, the passive sensing component 21 is disposed on the Mth telescopic sub-stick 24. In other embodiments, the passive sensing component 21 may also be disposed on any one of the second to Mth telescopic sub-sticks 24.

[0068] In this embodiment, the selfie stick 20 includes M telescopic sub-sticks 24, the distance between the shooting device 10 and the passive sensing component 21 changes during the transformation of the selfie stick 20. When the selfie stick 20 transforms to a point where the distance between the passive sensing component 21 and the shooting device 10 is less than a first preset distance, the shooting device 10 generates a first sensing signal, and controls itself to be in a non-working state via the first sensing signal; or, when the selfie stick 20 transforms to a point where the distance between the passive sensing component 21 and the shooting device 10 is greater than a second preset distance, the shooting device 10 generates a second sensing signal, and controls itself to be in a working state via the second sensing signal. Thus, during the transformation of the selfie stick 20, the shooting device 10 can be quickly and timely controlled to be in a non-working state by shortening the selfie stick 20 to a certain condition, without the need for manual control of the selfie stick 20 button, thus ensuring the timely de-working of the shooting device 10. Similarly, during the transformation of the selfie stick 20, the shooting device 10 can be quickly and timely controlled to be in working state by extending the selfie stick 20 to a certain condition, without having to manually control the selfie stick 20 button to control the shooting device 10 to be in working state, thus satisfying the timeliness of the shooting device 10 being in working state.

[0069] Please see Figure 5 Here is a schematic diagram of the structure of the selfie stick provided in the embodiments of this application:

[0070] In this embodiment, the selfie stick 20 includes: a first telescopic sub-stick 25 and a second telescopic sub-stick 26; the first telescopic sub-stick 25 and the second telescopic sub-stick 26 are telescopically connected; the shooting device 10 is connected to the end of the first telescopic sub-stick 25 away from the second telescopic sub-stick 26; the second telescopic sub-stick 26 is provided with the passive sensing component 21.

[0071] In this embodiment, the selfie stick 20 includes only two telescopic sub-sticks. When shortened, the length of the selfie stick 20 is sufficiently small, thus reducing its size and making it easy to carry. Furthermore, in the first configuration of the selfie stick 20, the distance between the sensor of the shooting device 10 and the passive sensing component 21 is sufficiently small, allowing the shooting device 10 to generate a first sensing signal to control its non-working state without requiring manual control of the selfie stick 20 button, thus ensuring timely deactivation. Similarly, in the second configuration of the selfie stick 20, the distance between the sensor of the shooting device 10 and the passive sensing component 21 is sufficiently large, allowing the shooting device 10 to generate a second sensing signal to control its working state, again without requiring manual control of the selfie stick 20 button, ensuring timely activation of the shooting device.

[0072] Please see Figure 6 Here is a block diagram of the imaging device provided in the embodiments of this application:

[0073] This application embodiment also provides a shooting device 10, which is used to be connected to the selfie stick 20; the selfie stick 20 is provided with a passive sensing component 21; the shooting device 10 is provided with an active sensing component 11;

[0074] The active sensing component 11 is used to generate a sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 is in different states, triggered by the passive sensing component 21, and control the shooting device 10 to be in a working state or a non-working state through the sensing signal.

[0075] In this embodiment, the active sensing component 11 is used to generate a sensing signal triggered by the passive sensing component 21 when the selfie stick 20 is in different states. The sensing signal is then used to control the shooting device 10 to be in a working or non-working state. Thus, when switching the working state of the shooting device 10 on the selfie stick 20, only the form of the selfie stick 20 needs to be changed to quickly switch the working state. Compared to related technologies that require manually controlling the selfie stick 20's buttons, this reduces the steps involved in manually controlling the selfie stick 20's buttons, streamlines the operation process, saves time, and allows for quick and timely control of the shooting device 10 to be in a working or non-working state.

[0076] Please continue reading. Figure 6 Here is a block diagram of the imaging device provided in the embodiments of this application:

[0077] The active sensing component 11 is used to generate a first sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 is in the first form, triggered by the passive sensing component 21, and control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state through the first sensing signal; or, the active sensing component 11 is used to generate a second sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 is in the second form, triggered by the passive sensing component 21, and control the shooting device 10 to be in a working state through the second sensing signal; wherein, when the selfie stick 20 is in the first form, the distance between the active sensing component 11 and the passive sensing component 21 is less than the distance between the active sensing component 11 and the passive sensing component 21 when the selfie stick 20 is in the second form.

[0078] In this embodiment, the active sensing component 11 is used to generate a first sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 is in the first form, triggered by the passive sensing component 21, and control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state through the first sensing signal; or, the active sensing component 11 is used to generate a second sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 is in the second form, triggered by the passive sensing component 21, and control the shooting device 10 to be in a working state through the second sensing signal. Thus, when the selfie stick 20 is in the first form, that is, when the user does not need to turn on the shooting device 10 to take a picture, the current form of the selfie stick 20 can be used to quickly and timely control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state, without the need to manually control the selfie stick 20 button to control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state, thus satisfying the timeliness requirement of the shooting device 10 being in a non-working state. Similarly, when the selfie stick 20 is in its second form, that is, when the user needs to open the shooting device 10 to take a picture, the user can quickly and timely control the shooting device 10 to be in working state through the current form of the selfie stick 20, without having to manually control the shooting device 10 to be in working state through the button of the selfie stick 20, thus satisfying the timeliness of the shooting device 10 being in working state.

[0079] Please see Figure 7 Here is an optional block diagram of the imaging device provided in an embodiment of this application:

[0080] In this embodiment, the active sensing component 11 includes a Hall switch component 111; the passive sensing component 21 includes a magnetic component 211; the imaging device 10 further includes a first microcontroller unit 12; the output terminal of the Hall switch component 111 is connected to the input terminal of the first microcontroller unit 12.

[0081] The magnetic component 211 is used to trigger the Hall switch component 111 to generate a low-level signal when the selfie stick 20 is in the first form, and transmits the signal to the first microcontroller unit 12. The first microcontroller unit 12 is used to control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state in response to the low-level signal.

[0082] Alternatively, the magnetic component 211 may trigger the Hall switch component 111 to generate a high-level signal and transmit it to the first microcontroller unit 12 when the selfie stick 20 is in the second form. The first microcontroller unit 12 may respond to the high-level signal to control the shooting device 10 to be in working state.

[0083] In this embodiment, the magnetic component 211 triggers the Hall switch component 111 to generate a low-level signal when the selfie stick 20 is in the first form, which is transmitted to the first microcontroller unit 12. The first microcontroller unit 12 responds to the low-level signal to control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state. Alternatively, the magnetic component 211 triggers the Hall switch component 111 to generate a high-level signal when the selfie stick 20 is in the second form, which is transmitted to the first microcontroller unit 12. The first microcontroller unit 12 responds to the high-level signal to control the shooting device 10 to be in a working state. When the selfie stick 20 is folded or shortened, that is, when the user does not need to open the shooting device 10 to take a picture, the Hall switch component 111 generates a low-level signal (first sensing signal) under the action of the magnetic component 211, which can quickly and timely control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state. This eliminates the need to manually control the selfie stick 20 button to control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state, thus satisfying the timeliness requirement of the shooting device 10 being in a non-working state. Similarly, when the selfie stick 20 is unfolded or extended, that is, when the user needs to open the shooting device 10 to take a picture, the Hall switch component 111 generates a high-level signal (second sensing signal) under the action of the magnetic component 211, which can quickly and timely control the shooting device 10 to be in working state. There is no need to manually control the selfie stick 20 button to control the shooting device 10 to be in working state, which can meet the timeliness of the shooting device 10 being in working state.

[0084] Please see Figure 8 Here is an optional block diagram of the imaging device provided in an embodiment of this application:

[0085] In this embodiment, the Hall switch assembly 111 includes a Hall element 1111 and a first transistor 1112; the imaging device further includes a first resistor R and a high-level power supply V; the first end of the Hall element 1111 is connected to the high-level power supply V, the second end of the Hall element 1111 is connected to the third end of the first transistor 1112, the second end of the Hall element 1111 is connected to the second end of the first transistor 1112, the first end of the first transistor 1112 is connected to the first end of the first resistor R and serves as the output end of the Hall switch assembly 111, the second end of the first resistor R is connected to the high-level power supply V, and the second end of the first transistor 1112 is grounded;

[0086] The magnetic component 211 is used to trigger the Hall element 1111 to generate a first control signal when the selfie stick 20 is in the first form. The first control signal is transmitted to the third terminal of the first transistor 1112. Under the action of the first control signal, the first transistor 1112 is turned on to generate a low-level signal at the first terminal. The first transistor 1112 transmits the low-level signal at the first terminal to the first microcontroller unit 12. The first microcontroller unit 12 is used to control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state in response to the low-level signal.

[0087] Alternatively, the magnetic component 211 is used to trigger the Hall element 1111 to generate a second control signal when the selfie stick 20 is in the second form, and transmit the signal to the third terminal of the first transistor 1112. The first transistor 1112 is disconnected under the action of the second control signal, and the first transistor 1112 transmits the high-level signal of the high-level power supply 13 connected to the first terminal to the first microcontroller unit 12. The first microcontroller unit 13 is used to control the shooting device 10 to be in working state in response to the high-level signal.

[0088] In this embodiment, when the selfie stick 20 is in the first state, the magnetic component 211 is close to the Hall element 1111, causing the internal first transistor 1112 of the Hall switch component 111 to conduct, and the voltage state of the first terminal of the first transistor 1112 is low. When the selfie stick 20 is in the second state, the magnetic component 211 is away from the Hall element 1111, the first transistor 1112 is not conducted, and the voltage state of the first terminal of the first transistor 1112 is high. The first microcontroller unit 12 controls the shooting device 10 according to the voltage state of the first terminal of the first transistor 1112, which may include: when the voltage state of the first terminal is low, triggering the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state mode; when the voltage state of the first terminal is high, triggering the shooting device 10 to be in a working state mode, and the shooting device 10 being in a non-working state following the unfolding and folding of the folding selfie stick 20.

[0089] In this embodiment, when the selfie stick 20 is in its first state, the Hall switch component 111 generates a low-level signal (first sensing signal) under the action of the magnetic component 211, which can quickly and timely control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state. This eliminates the need to manually control the selfie stick 20 button to put the shooting device 10 into a non-working state, thus ensuring the timely initiation of the non-working state. Similarly, when the selfie stick 20 is in its second state, the Hall switch component 111 generates a high-level signal (second sensing signal) under the action of the magnetic component 211, which can quickly and timely control the shooting device 10 to be in a working state. This also eliminates the need to manually control the selfie stick 20 button to put the shooting device 10 into a working state, thus ensuring the timely initiation of the working state.

[0090] Please see Figure 9 Here is an optional block diagram of the imaging device provided in an embodiment of this application:

[0091] In this embodiment, the active sensing component 11 includes a microwave network analyzer 14; the passive sensing component 21 includes a passive metal component 212; the imaging device 10 further includes a second microcontroller unit 15 and a microwave signal source 16; the output terminal of the microwave network analyzer 14 is connected to the input terminal of the second microcontroller unit 15; the microwave signal source 16 is used to transmit source signals;

[0092] The passive metal component 212 is used to receive the source signal and reflect the first reflected signal when the selfie stick 20 is in the first form. The microwave network analyzer 14 receives the first reflected signal and sends the first reflected signal to the second microcontroller 15. The second microcontroller 15 controls the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state in response to the first difference signal between the first reflected signal and the initial reflected signal.

[0093] Alternatively, the passive metal component 212 is used to receive the source signal and reflect the second reflected signal when the selfie stick 20 is in the second form. The microwave network analyzer 14 receives the second reflected signal and sends the second reflected signal to the second microcontroller unit 15. The second microcontroller unit 15 controls the shooting device 10 to be in working state in response to the second difference signal between the second reflected signal and the initial reflected signal. The value of the second difference signal is greater than the value of the first difference signal.

[0094] In this embodiment, a portion of the selfie stick 20 can be made of metal, and the metal portion can be used as a passive metal component 212.

[0095] In this embodiment, the second microcontroller unit 15 is configured such that the initial reflection signal of the selfie stick 20 in its first state is S0. The shooting device 10 has a built-in microwave signal source 16 that transmits source signals via a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth antenna. The microwave network analyzer 14 receives the reflection signal from the passive metal component 212 via a frequency sweep method and sends it to the second microcontroller unit 15. The second microcontroller unit 15 compares the received reflection signal with the initial reflection signal S0 to obtain the difference signal. When the selfie stick 20 is in its first state, the difference signal The difference signal is essentially close to 0; when the selfie stick 20 is in its second state, the difference signal... Much greater than 0; the second microcontroller unit 15 based on the difference signal The difference between the value and 0 corresponds to the working state control of the shooting device 10. When the selfie stick 20 is in the first state, the difference... The difference is essentially close to 0, the second microcontroller unit 15 does not report signals to the shooting device 10, and the shooting device 10 is in a non-working state mode; when the selfie stick 20 is in the second form, the difference is... If the value is much greater than 0, a signal is sent to the imaging device 10, and the imaging device 10 is in working mode.

[0096] In this embodiment, when the selfie stick 20 is in its first form, the second microcontroller unit 15 controls the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state via the first difference signal between the first reflected signal and the initial reflected signal sent by the microwave network analyzer 14; this eliminates the need to manually control the selfie stick 20 button to put the shooting device 10 into a non-working state, thus ensuring the timely deactivation of the shooting device 10. Alternatively, when the selfie stick 20 is in its second form, the second microcontroller unit 15 controls the shooting device 10 to be in a working state via the second difference signal between the second reflected signal and the initial reflected signal sent by the microwave network analyzer 14; this also eliminates the need to manually control the selfie stick 20 button to put the shooting device 10 into a working state, thus ensuring the timely deactivation of the shooting device 10.

[0097] This application also provides a shooting system 100, please refer to... Figure 10 Here is an optional block diagram of the shooting system provided in an embodiment of this application:

[0098] This application provides a shooting system 100, including: a selfie stick 20 and a shooting device 10; the selfie stick 20 is connected to the shooting device 10; the shooting device 10 is provided with an active sensing component 11; the selfie stick 20 is provided with a passive sensing component 21;

[0099] The passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the active sensing component 11 to generate a sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 is in different states, and to control the shooting device 10 to be in a working state or a non-working state through the sensing signal.

[0100] When the selfie stick 20 is in different forms, the distance between the passive sensing component 21 and the active sensing component 11 is different. Under the influence of the different distances between the active sensing component 11 and the passive sensing component 21, the active sensing component 11 forms a sensing signal corresponding to the different forms. The shooting device 10 controls whether it is in a working state or a non-working state through the sensing signal in different forms.

[0101] In this embodiment, the shooting device 10 may include a camera, a mobile phone, or other devices with shooting functions. "In working state" can mean that the shooting device 10 is powered on or awake, while "in non-working state" can mean that the shooting device 10 is powered off or in sleep state.

[0102] In this embodiment, the passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the active sensing component 11 to generate a sensing signal when the selfie stick 10 is in different states. The sensing signal controls the shooting device 10 to be in a working state or a non-working state. In this way, when switching the working state of the shooting device 10 on the selfie stick 20, only the shape of the selfie stick 20 needs to be changed to quickly turn the shooting device 10 on and off. Compared with the related technology's solution of turning the shooting device 10 on and off on the selfie stick 20, it reduces the steps of manually controlling the selfie stick 20 button, reduces the operation process and saves time, and thus can quickly and timely control the shooting device 10 to be in a working state or a non-working state.

[0103] Please continue reading. Figure 10 Here is an optional block diagram of the shooting system provided in an embodiment of this application:

[0104] In this embodiment, the passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the active sensing component 11 to generate a first sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 is in the first form, and control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state through the first sensing signal; or, the passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the active sensing component 11 to generate a second sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 is in the second form, and control the shooting device 10 to be in a working state through the second sensing signal; wherein, the distance between the active sensing component 11 and the passive sensing component 21 when the selfie stick 20 is in the first form is less than the distance between the active sensing component 11 and the passive sensing component 21 when the selfie stick 20 is in the second form.

[0105] In this embodiment, the selfie stick 20 can be a folding stick or a telescopic stick. When the selfie stick 20 is a folding stick, its first form includes a folded form, and its second form includes an unfolded form. When the selfie stick 20 is a telescopic stick, its first form includes a shortened form, and its second form includes an extended form.

[0106] In this embodiment, the passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the active sensing component 21 to generate a first sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 is in the first form, thereby controlling the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state through the first sensing signal; or, the passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the active sensing component 11 to generate a second sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 is in the second form, thereby controlling the shooting device 10 to be in a working state through the second sensing signal. Thus, when the selfie stick 20 is in the first form, that is, when the user does not need to turn on the shooting device 10 to take a picture, the current form of the selfie stick 20 can be used to quickly and timely control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state, without the need to manually control the selfie stick 20 button to control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state, thus satisfying the timeliness requirement for the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state. Similarly, when the selfie stick 20 is in its second form, that is, when the user needs to open the shooting device 10 to take a picture, the user can quickly and timely control the shooting device 10 to be in working state through the current form of the selfie stick 20, without having to manually control the shooting device 10 to be in working state through the button of the selfie stick 20, thus satisfying the timeliness of the shooting device 10 being in working state.

[0107] Please see Figure 11 Here is a schematic diagram of an optional structure of the shooting system provided in this application embodiment:

[0108] In this embodiment, when the selfie stick 20 is a folding stick, the selfie stick 20 includes: N sub-sticks 22 that are folded and connected in sequence, where N is an integer greater than 0; the shooting device 10 is folded and connected to the first sub-stick 22 among the N sub-sticks 22, and the passive sensing component 21 is disposed on any of the sub-sticks; in this embodiment, the passive sensing component 21 is disposed on the Nth sub-stick 22, but in other embodiments, it may be disposed on any of the N sub-sticks 22.

[0109] The passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the active sensing component 11 to generate a first sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 changes shape to the point that the distance d between the passive sensing component 21 and the active sensing component 11 is less than a first preset distance, and control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state through the first sensing signal.

[0110] Alternatively, the passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the active sensing component 11 to generate a second sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 changes shape to a distance d between the passive sensing component 21 and the active sensing component 11 greater than a second preset distance, and control the shooting device 10 to be in working state through the second sensing signal. Wherein, the first preset distance is not greater than the second preset distance.

[0111] In this embodiment, the passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the active sensing component 11 to generate a first sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 is folded (shape change) to a distance d between the passive sensing component 21 and the active sensing component 11 is less than a first preset distance, thereby controlling the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state through the first sensing signal; or, the passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the active sensing component 11 to generate a second sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 is unfolded (shape change) to a distance d between the passive sensing component 21 and the active sensing component 11 is greater than a second preset distance, thereby controlling the shooting device 10 to be in a working state through the second sensing signal. In this way, during the folding process of the selfie stick 20, the shooting device 10 can be quickly and timely controlled to be in a non-working state by folding the selfie stick 20 to a certain condition, without the need to manually control the selfie stick 20 button to control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state, thus satisfying the timeliness requirement of the shooting device 10 being in a non-working state. Similarly, during the unfolding of the selfie stick 20, the shooting device 10 can be quickly and timely controlled to be in working state under certain conditions by unfolding the selfie stick 20, without having to manually control the shooting device 10 to be in working state by controlling the button of the selfie stick 20, thus satisfying the timeliness of the shooting device 10 being in working state.

[0112] Please see Figure 12 Here is a schematic diagram of an optional structure of the shooting system provided in this application embodiment:

[0113] In this embodiment of the application, the selfie stick 20 includes: a sub-stick 22 and a folding connecting assembly 23; the shooting device 10 is connected to the first end of the sub-stick 22 via the folding connecting assembly 23; the sub-stick 22 is provided with the passive sensing assembly 21;

[0114] When the selfie stick 20 is in the first form, the active sensing component 11 is used to generate the first sensing signal when triggered by the passive sensing component 21, and controls the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state through the first sensing signal; or, when the selfie stick 20 is in the second form, the active sensing component 11 is used to generate the second sensing signal when triggered by the passive sensing component 21, and controls the shooting device 10 to be in a working state through the second sensing signal.

[0115] When the selfie stick 20 is in its first form, the active sensing component 11 is used to sense that the distance between itself and the passive sensing component 21 is less than a third preset distance, forming a first sensing signal, and controlling the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state through the first sensing signal; or, when the selfie stick 20 is in its second form, the active sensing component 11 is used to sense that the distance between itself and the passive sensing component 21 is greater than a fourth preset distance, forming a second sensing signal, and controlling the shooting device 10 to be in a working state through the second sensing signal; wherein, the third preset distance is less than the fourth preset distance.

[0116] In this embodiment, the selfie stick 20 includes only one sub-stick 22, and when folded, the selfie stick 20 folds parallel to the shooting device 10. This not only reduces the size of the selfie stick 20, making it easy to carry, but also allows the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state by sensing the distance between the active sensing component 11 and the passive sensing component 21, eliminating the need to manually control the selfie stick 20 button to deactivate it, thus ensuring the timely deactivation of the shooting device 10. Similarly, in the unfolded state (second state), the shooting device 10 can be activated by sensing the distance between the active sensing component 11 and the passive sensing component 21, again eliminating the need to manually control the selfie stick 20 button, ensuring the timely activation of the shooting device 10.

[0117] Please see Figure 13 Here is a schematic diagram of an optional structure of the shooting system provided in this application embodiment:

[0118] In this embodiment, when the selfie stick 20 is a telescopic stick, the selfie stick 20 includes: M telescopic sub-sticks 24, where M is an integer greater than 1; the shooting device 10 is connected to the first telescopic sub-stick 24 among the M telescopic sub-sticks 24; in this embodiment, the passive sensing component 21 is disposed on the Mth telescopic sub-stick 24, and in other embodiments, it may also be disposed on any one of the second to Mth telescopic sub-sticks 24.

[0119] The passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the active sensing component 11 to generate a first sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 changes shape to the point that the distance between the passive sensing component 21 and the active sensing component 11 is less than a first preset distance, and control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state through the first sensing signal.

[0120] Alternatively, the passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the active sensing component 11 to generate a second sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 changes shape to a distance greater than a second preset distance, and control the shooting device 10 to be in working state through the second sensing signal.

[0121] In this embodiment, the passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the active sensing component 11 to generate a first sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 is shortened (shape change) to a distance less than a first preset distance, thereby controlling the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state; or, the passive sensing component 21 is used to trigger the active sensing component 11 to generate a second sensing signal when the selfie stick 20 is extended (shape change) to a distance greater than a second preset distance, thereby controlling the shooting device 10 to be in a working state. In this way, during the shortening process of the selfie stick 20, the shooting device 10 can be quickly and timely controlled to be in a non-working state by shortening the selfie stick 20 to a certain condition, without the need for manual control of the selfie stick 20 button, thus ensuring the timely de-working of the shooting device 10. Similarly, during the extension of the selfie stick 20, the shooting device 10 can be quickly and timely controlled to be in working state under certain conditions by extending the selfie stick 20, without having to manually control the selfie stick 20 button to control the shooting device 10 to be in working state, thus satisfying the timeliness of the shooting device 10 being in working state.

[0122] Please see Figure 14 Here is a schematic diagram of an optional structure of the shooting system provided in this application embodiment:

[0123] In this embodiment, the selfie stick 20 includes: a first telescopic sub-stick 25 and a second telescopic sub-stick 26; the first telescopic sub-stick 25 and the second telescopic sub-stick 26 are telescopically connected; the shooting device 10 is connected to the end of the first telescopic sub-stick 25 away from the second telescopic sub-stick 26; the second telescopic sub-stick 26 is provided with the passive sensing component 21;

[0124] When the selfie stick 20 is in its first form, the active sensing component 11 is used to sense that the distance between itself and the passive sensing component 21 is less than a third preset distance to form a first sensing signal, and controls the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state through the first sensing signal; or, when the selfie stick 20 is in its second form, the active sensing component 11 is used to sense that the distance between itself and the passive sensing component 21 is greater than a fourth preset distance to form a second sensing signal, and controls the shooting device 10 to be in a working state through the second sensing signal.

[0125] In this embodiment, the selfie stick 20 includes only two telescopic sub-sticks. When shortened, the selfie stick 20 is sufficiently short, thus reducing its size and making it easy to carry. Furthermore, in its first configuration, the active sensing component 11 can sense the distance between itself and the passive sensing component 21 to control the shooting device 10 to be in a non-working state, eliminating the need for manual control of the selfie stick 20 button and ensuring timely deactivation. Similarly, in its second configuration, the active sensing component 11 can sense the distance between itself and the passive sensing component 21 to control the shooting device 10 to be in a working state, again eliminating the need for manual control of the selfie stick 20 button and ensuring timely activation of the shooting device 10.

[0126] Please see Figure 15 Here is an optional block diagram of the shooting system provided in an embodiment of this application:

[0127] In this embodiment of the application, the shooting device 10 further includes: a connection sensing component 17; the connection sensing component 17 is used to control the active sensing component 11 to turn on when the shooting device 10 is connected to the selfie stick 20, or the connection sensing component 17 is used to control the active sensing component 11 to turn off when the shooting device 10 is not connected to the selfie stick 20.

[0128] In this embodiment, the shooting device 10 can be connected to the selfie stick 20 via a 1 / 4" threaded hole, and a hidden trigger button is provided inside the 1 / 4" threaded hole. When the shooting device 10 is connected to the selfie stick 20 via the 1 / 4" threaded hole, the hidden trigger button is triggered to report information to the connection sensing component 17, which then controls the active sensing component 11 to turn on. When the shooting device 10 is not connected to the selfie stick 20 via the 1 / 4" threaded hole, the hidden trigger button is not triggered, and the connection sensing component 17 controls the active sensing component 11 to turn off. This prevents the active sensing component 11 from turning on when the selfie stick 20 and the shooting device 10 are not connected, thus preventing the active sensing component 11 from consuming power during non-working hours and saving power for the shooting device 10.

[0129] Please see Figure 16 The following is a flowchart illustrating the shooting system control method provided in the embodiments of this application, and the steps will be described in conjunction with the following:

[0130] S101. Is the selfie stick connected to the shooting device?

[0131] In this embodiment, the shooting device determines whether the selfie stick is connected to the shooting device by the information uploaded by the connection sensing component. If connected, S103 is executed; if not connected, S102 is executed.

[0132] S102, Active sensing component is off.

[0133] In this embodiment of the application, if the shooting device detects that it is not connected to the selfie stick, the shooting device controls the active sensing component to turn off.

[0134] S103. The active sensing component is activated to detect whether the selfie stick is folded.

[0135] In this embodiment, if the shooting device detects a connection to the selfie stick, it controls the active sensing component to activate. Once activated, the active sensing component, in different configurations of the selfie stick, triggers a corresponding sensing signal through the passive sensing component on the selfie stick to determine whether the selfie stick is folded. If folded, steps S104 to S105 are executed; if not folded, steps S106 to S107 are executed.

[0136] S104. Determine the working status of the host.

[0137] In this embodiment of the application, if the shooting device determines that the selfie stick is folded based on the sensing signal, it determines that the main unit of the shooting device is in a non-working state.

[0138] S105, Hibernation / Power Off.

[0139] In this embodiment, when the selfie stick is folded and the main unit is open, the shooting device performs sleep or power-off control.

[0140] S106. Determine the working status of the host.

[0141] In this embodiment of the application, if the shooting device determines that the selfie stick is not folded based on the sensing signal, it determines that the main unit of the shooting device is in a non-working state.

[0142] S107, Wake up / Power on.

[0143] In this embodiment, the shooting device performs wake-up or power-on control when the selfie stick is not folded and the main unit is turned off.

[0144] This application provides a shooting system in which a selfie stick is equipped with a passive sensing component without changing its shape. The operation method remains unchanged, offering convenient operation without adding extra circuitry costs and ensuring high safety and reliability. Users can easily fold and unfold the selfie stick for storage and switch the device's operating status at any time, eliminating the need for button-operated camera switches, freeing up their hands, effectively preventing users from forgetting to turn off the device, improving battery efficiency, and significantly enhancing the user's shooting experience.
