Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera detection technology, and in particular to a privacy device. Background Technology

[0002] A webcam (also known as a computer camera, computer eye, or electronic eye) is a video input device. Webcams generally have basic functions such as video recording / transmission and still image capture. They capture images through a lens, and then the image is processed by the camera's internal light-sensitive components and control components, converting the image into a digital signal that a computer can recognize. This signal is then input to a computer via a parallel port or USB connection, where software reconstructs the image.

[0003] The presence of hidden pinhole cameras in hotels poses a significant threat to personal privacy and security. Because these cameras are concealed and difficult to detect, hotel guests are frequently filmed without their consent, leading to privacy breaches and other problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a privacy device that can detect pinhole cameras with infrared assistance, making it easier for users to find and locate the pinhole cameras in a timely manner and reducing the risk of users being secretly filmed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the privacy device includes:

[0006] A housing having a lens limiting hole and a plurality of first limiting holes;

[0007] The detection component includes a monochrome filter and a plurality of detection lamps, wherein the monochrome filter is confined within the lens limiting hole, and the lamp bead of each detection lamp is exposed in a first limiting hole;

[0008] The monochromatic filter is configured to filter out the reflected light from the detection lamp source.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the housing is further provided with a second limiting hole and a lighting source, wherein the lamp beads of the lighting source are exposed in the second limiting hole.

[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of detection light sources and a lighting light source are all disposed above the monochromatic filter; the plurality of detection light sources and the lighting light source are arranged in a circular pattern along the outer edge of the monochromatic filter to form an arc-shaped illumination area.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the lighting source is located in the middle of the arc-shaped illumination area, and at least one detection source is provided on both sides of the lighting source.

[0012] In one embodiment of this utility model, a limiting member is provided inside the housing, the limiting member is disposed on the circuit board, the limiting member is provided with multiple limiting channels, and the multiple limiting channels are respectively aligned with the first limiting hole and the second limiting hole; the lighting source and the detection light source are limited in the limiting channels.

[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, the privacy device is further provided with an infrared detection module, which includes an infrared receiver and a buzzer. The buzzer is configured to emit a buzzing sound when the infrared receiver detects infrared light.

[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, both the infrared receiver and the buzzer are located below the monochromatic filter.

[0015] In one embodiment of this utility model, the privacy device is provided with a control module, which includes a circuit board and a control button. The circuit board is disposed inside the housing, and the control button is movably disposed on the housing. The circuit board is provided with a first electronic switch and a second electronic switch, and the control button has a first pressing part and a second pressing part. The first pressing part and the second pressing part are provided with a first abutting post and a second abutting post on the side facing the circuit board. The pressing end of the first abutting post is aligned with the first electronic switch, and the pressing end of the second abutting post is aligned with the second electronic switch.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, one end is further provided with a lifting member, the lifting member having a through space.

[0019] In this technical solution, the privacy device uses a housing, a detection component including a monochrome filter and multiple detection light sources. The monochrome filter is limited by the lens limiting hole of the housing, and the multiple first limiting holes limit the LED beads of each detection light source.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The privacy device 100 includes:

[0037] The housing 10 has a lens limiting hole and a plurality of first limiting holes;

[0038] The detection component 20 includes a monochrome filter 21 and a plurality of detection lamp sources 22. The monochrome filter 21 is limited to a lens limiting hole, and the lamp beads of each detection lamp source 22 are exposed in a first limiting hole.

[0039] The monochromatic filter 21 is configured to filter out the reflected light from the detection lamp source 22.

[0040] In this technical solution, the privacy device 100 uses a housing 10 and a detection component 20 including a monochrome filter 21 and multiple detection light sources 22. The monochrome filter 21 is limited by the lens limiting hole of the housing 10, and the multiple first limiting holes limit the LEDs of each detection light source 22. When the light emitted by the detection light source 22 shines on an area where a pinhole camera may exist, the camera lens will reflect the light. The monochrome filter 21 can filter out the reflected light from the detection light source 22, so that the user can clearly identify the location of the reflected light and thus discover the hidden pinhole camera. This solves the problem that pinhole cameras in hotels are not easily discovered due to their concealed placement, leading to the leakage of guest privacy.

[0041] Specifically, the housing 10 is composed of two half-shells, which are assembled to form a mounting cavity. The mounting cavity provides a fixed base for the circuit board 41, the detection lamp source 22, and other structures. On one half-shell, there are multiple first limiting holes that connect to the mounting cavity so that the lamp beads in the first limiting holes can be exposed and emit light. The two half-shells form a through lens limiting hole, which is fixed in the lens limiting hole by means of snap-fit ​​or other means. While achieving position fixation, light of a specific color can pass through the monochromatic filter 21 and enter the human eye.

[0042] When using the privacy device 100, the user turns on multiple detection light sources 22 to emit detection light into the detection environment. At the same time, the user's eye is aligned with the monochrome filter 21. When a hidden camera is present in the detection environment, the detection light is reflected by the mirror of the hidden camera. The reflected detection light passes through the monochrome filter 21 and enters the user's eye. In this way, the user can determine whether a hidden camera is present by observing the light emitted from the detection environment, thus reducing the risk of being secretly filmed.

[0043] The monochrome filter 21 is configured to filter out the reflected light from the detection light source 22. This means that the monochrome filter 21 can only allow light emitted from the detection light source 22 to pass through after reflection. For example, if the detection light source 22 emits red visible light, the monochrome filter 21 is a red filter. Or, if the light-emitting module emits blue visible light, the monochrome filter 21 is a blue filter. Therefore, there is no limitation on the specific type of monochrome filter 21 and light-emitting module, as long as the emitted light and the filtered light are the same color.

[0044] In one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 1The housing 10 also includes a second limiting hole and an illumination source 11. The LED of the illumination source 11 is exposed through the second limiting hole. The second limiting hole of the housing 10 connects to the mounting cavity of the housing 10 and is used to fix the LED of the illumination source 11, ensuring its stable exposure and light emission. The main function of the illumination source 11 is to provide auxiliary lighting in low ambient light conditions, helping users clearly observe the physical environment of the detection area (such as sockets, air conditioning vents, and other locations where cameras can be easily hidden), avoiding misjudgment of reflected light points due to dim lighting. Simultaneously, in conjunction with the light reflection from the detection light source 22, it further improves the accuracy and convenience of the detection.

[0045] Further, please refer to Figure 1 Multiple detection light sources 22 and one illumination light source 11 are positioned above the monochromatic filter 21, ensuring that the emitted light covers the detection field of view of the monochromatic filter 21. The multiple detection light sources 22 and one illumination light source 11 are arranged circumferentially along the outer edge of the monochromatic filter 21 to form an arc-shaped illumination area. This arrangement ensures that the light emitted by the detection light sources 22 covers the detection field of view of the monochromatic filter 21. Simultaneously, the circumferential arrangement of multiple light sources expands the illumination angle of the light, allowing the light to cover a wider detection area (such as walls or object surfaces in different directions), reducing blind spots. This layout makes it easier for the pinhole camera to reflect light and be captured by the monochromatic filter 21 regardless of its position within the detection area, improving the comprehensiveness of the detection.

[0046] In one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 1 The illumination source 11 is located in the center of the arc-shaped illumination area, and there is at least one detection source 22 on each side of the illumination source 11. The illumination source 11 being located in the center of the arc allows the illumination light to be distributed more evenly in the detection area, avoiding local areas that are too dark or too bright. The presence of at least one detection source 22 on each side allows the detection light to be symmetrically distributed within the arc area, ensuring a more balanced intensity of reflected light at different locations within the detection area. This symmetrical layout, combined with the central illumination, not only ensures the illumination effect but also makes the reflected light from the detection source 22 easier for the monochromatic filter 21 to identify, especially for pinhole cameras located at the edge of the detection area, reducing the risk of missed detection.

[0047] To improve the installation stability of the light source, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 3The housing 10 has a limiting member 12 inside, which is located on the circuit board 41. The limiting member 12 has multiple limiting channels, which are respectively aligned with the first limiting hole and the second limiting hole. The lighting source 11 and the detection light source 22 are confined in the limiting channels, which can effectively prevent the light source from being displaced or shaking due to vibration, collision, etc. This ensures that the lamp bead can always be accurately exposed in the corresponding limiting hole, ensuring the stability of the light emission direction and avoiding the deviation of the illumination angle caused by the lamp source offset, which would affect the capture of reflected light. Structurally, this ensures the reliability of the detection. The limiting member 12 has an overall arc shape to accommodate the arrangement of each light source.

[0048] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The privacy device 100 also includes an infrared detection module 30, which comprises an infrared receiver 31 and a buzzer 32. The buzzer 32 is configured to emit a buzzing sound when the infrared receiver 31 detects infrared light. The infrared receiver 31 can specifically capture invisible infrared light. When infrared light is detected, the buzzer 32 emits a buzzing alarm to alert the user of the presence of a potential infrared camera. The infrared detection module 30, combined with visible light reflection detection, utilizes both visual and auditory senses to cover cameras that rely on visible light reflection and to detect concealed cameras that operate using infrared light, significantly improving the detection range and accuracy of the privacy device 100.

[0049] Further, please refer to Figure 3 Both the infrared receiver 31 and the buzzer 32 are located below the monochromatic filter 21. On the one hand, this avoids obstructing the field of view of the monochromatic filter 21 and the light emission of the detection light source 22, ensuring that the visible light detection function is not affected. On the other hand, this position is close to the detection area, which can shorten the propagation path of infrared light and improve the detection sensitivity of the infrared receiver 31. At the same time, the sound of the buzzer 32 can be transmitted to the user more directly, avoiding the volume attenuation caused by other components, and ensuring the alarm effect.

[0050] In one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4The privacy device 100 is equipped with a control module 40, which includes a circuit board 41 and a control button 42. The circuit board 41 is located inside the housing 10, and the control button 42 is movably mounted on the housing 10. The circuit board 41 is equipped with a first electronic switch and a second electronic switch. The control button 42 has a first pressing part 42a and a second pressing part 42b. The first pressing part 42a and the second pressing part 42b are provided with a first abutting post and a second abutting post on the side facing the circuit board 41. The pressing end of the first abutting post is aligned with the first electronic switch, and the pressing end of the second abutting post is aligned with the second electronic switch. The infrared receiver 31, the buzzer 32, and multiple detection light sources 22 are all electrically connected to the first electronic switch, and the lighting light source 11 is electrically connected to the second electronic switch.

[0051] Specifically, the circuit board 41 serves as a circuit carrier, integrating a first electronic switch and a second electronic switch, each corresponding to different functions of on / off control; the control button 42 adopts a "dual pressing part" design, with the first pressing part 42a and the second pressing part 42b arranged along the length of the control button 42, achieving operability through a structure movably mounted on the housing 10. The first pressing part 42a and the second pressing part 42b are precisely aligned with the two electronic switches on the circuit board 41 through the first abutting post and the second abutting post below, ensuring that the pressing action can reliably trigger the switch on / off.

[0052] The first electronic switch controls the infrared receiver 31, the buzzer 32, and the detection light source 22 (22) in a unified manner to form a "detection mode"; the second electronic switch controls the lighting light source 11 separately to form a "lighting mode". Users can flexibly switch functions according to the scenario, such as only turning on the detection function to check the camera, or only turning on the lighting to observe the environment, to avoid unnecessary energy consumption; at the same time, the precise "abutment post-switch" alignment structure reduces accidental operation, ensures the accuracy of function response, and improves the user's operating experience.

[0053] In one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 4The control button 42 is also provided with a first reset arm 421 and a second reset arm 422. The distal ends of the first reset arm 421 and the second reset arm 422 are both connected to the inner wall of the housing 10. The first reset arm 421 and the second reset arm 422 have the same structure, each including a first connecting section and a second connecting section. The connection between the first connecting section and the second connecting section forms a bend, so that the two reset arms form an "L" shape. The first connecting section of the two reset arms is connected to the control button 42, and the second connecting section is connected to the inner wall of the housing 10. At the same time, the first connecting section of the first reset arm 421 is close to the second pressing part 42b, and its second connecting section is connected to the position of the housing 10 close to the first pressing part 42a. The first connecting section of the second reset arm 422 is close to the first pressing part 42a, and its second connecting section is connected to the position of the housing 10 close to the second pressing part 42b. In this way, pressing the first pressing part 42a or the second pressing part 42b can provide a reset force with a larger deformation of the reset arm, ensuring the pressing feel.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 One end of the device is also provided with a hanging part 50, which has a through space, making it convenient for users to carry the privacy device 100 with them (such as putting it in a pocket or hanging it on a bag), or to hang it on a hook on the wall, thus avoiding the inconvenience of carrying the detection device; the hanging part 50 can be a rope, a buckle, or other structure, which is not limited here.

[0055] The above are merely exemplary embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model.
