[0001] A SMART PHONE CASE

[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The invention relates to a smart phone case for protecting a smart phone from external influences and to provide features, which is produced compatible with the brands and models of the smart phone.

[0004] PRIOR ART

[0005] A phone camera is a camera located inside a mobile phone. Phone cameras are used to take photos and videos. In smart phones, the main (rear) camera and lenses, objectives, sensors, and flashes are generally positioned on the back, while the front camera, which is used for selfie and face recognition, is positioned on the front. Main (Rear) cameras work with advanced lenses, image sensors, processors, and software to take photos and videos with high quality and resolution. The camera quality of smart phones varies depending on factors such as brand, model, and price.

[0006] There is a difference in resolution between the front camera and rear cameras of the phones. This is because the rear camera cooperates with lenses, objectives, sensors, and flashes, and as a result more space is required to accommodate them. For this reason, the front cameras are positioned in fewer locations in the screen-to-body ratio. In all smart phones produced today, the rear camera provides shooting with a quality of 50 megapixels and above, while the front cameras provide shooting with a resolution of 8 to 16 megapixels due to the small size of the lenses. This difference is due to the fact that the front camera is optimized to be able to perform operations while looking at the image on the screen for selfies, face recognition, and video calls. For this reason, smart mobile phone users have to take low-resolution, narrow-angle photos and videos in selfies and similar shots. Users need another person to take high-resolution, wide-angle, stabilized, clear-focus photos and videos with the rear camera.

[0007] In application No. CN106302876, the smart phone camera is mentioned. It is described that in said system, the resolution of the front camera is lower than that of the rear camera. Said application does not provide a solution to the problem of taking selfies and shooting videos with the quality of the rear camera and shooting with higher image quality.

[0008] As a result, all the above-mentioned problems have made it imperative to make an innovation in the relevant technical field.

[0020] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] In this detailed description, the subject of the invention is explained by way of example only for a better understanding of the subject, which shall not create any limiting effect.

[0022] The invention relates to a smart phone case (10) for protecting a smart phone from external influences, which is produced compatible with the brand and model of the phone. The phrase "compatible" mentioned here refers to the presence of cases specifically designed for the phone, as each phone model has different sizes, shapes, and button placements. The smart phone case (10) fitting perfectly to the phone ensures that all functions are accessible and provides ease of use.

[0023] As shown in Figure 1 , said smart phone case (10) comprises a display screen (101 ) provided for simultaneous display with the rear camera (20) of the phone and positioned near the camera. In a possible embodiment of the invention, said display screen (101 ) is positioned adjacent to the rear camera (20). In a possible embodiment of the invention, said display screen is provided as a touchscreen. Thus, this prevents the display screen (101 ) from turning off when objects such as selfie sticks, gimbals, etc. used for taking selfies with the phone are placed on the phone. In this case, while taking selfies and videos, the user can shoot with the rear camera (20) with high resolution and in the desired form. The smart phone case comprises a control unit (103) to allow the display screen (101 ) to be controlled. Said control unit (103) comprises a communication unit (107) to enable data exchange by communicating with the processor unit of the phone. Said communication unit (107) enables the control of the rear camera (20) by transmitting the command data received from the control unit (103) to the phone processor unit (30). The smart phone case (10) comprises at least one control button (102) associated with the control unit (103) provided thereon. Said control button (102) allows command input to the display screen (101 ) and the camera. Pressing at least one of said control buttons (102) will cause the rear camera (20) to zoom. Pressing at least another one of the control buttons will cause the camera to zoom out. Pressing at least one of the control buttons will cause the camera to switch to video mode. Pressing at least one of the control buttons will take a photo. At least one of the control buttons can provide access to the display screen (101 ). Thus, it is possible for the user to adjust the brightness, power mode, etc. of the display screen (101 ) with the control buttons. Furthermore, at least one of the control buttons allows the setting of applications (clock, alarm, navigation, incoming notifications, incoming calls, etc.) after touching the display screen and selecting the application.

[0024] The smart phone case (10) comprises an energy storage unit (104) to meet energy needs. On the smart phone case (10) there is a charging port (104) to enable wired charging of said energy storage unit (105). A cable connection from the outside allows the smart phone case (10) to be charged from said charging port (105). Thus, it is possible to charge the smart phone case (10) without the need to draw a charge from the phone. A wireless charging contact point (106) is provided on the smart phone case (10) to enable wireless charging of the energy storage unit (104). Thus, it is possible to charge the smart phone case (10) wirelessly without the need to draw energy from the phone. The control unit (103) allows the battery information received from the energy storage unit (104) to be displayed on the display screen (101 ). Thus, the user can check the battery status of the smart phone case (10) and ensure that the smart phone case (10) is charged in case it needs to be charged. The control unit (103) can also provide audible and visual alerts via the smart phone case (10) to alert the user in the case of the battery dropping below a predetermined level. In a possible embodiment of the invention, a speaker is placed on the smart phone case (10) to give an audible alert. In a possible embodiment of the invention, a lighting element is placed on the smart phone case (10) to give a visual alert. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the user can be alerted audibly and visually by means of the display screen (101 ).

[0025] The smart phone case comprises a memory unit (108) associated with the control unit (103). Thus, it is possible to partially reduce the data crowd in the phone memory. The user can temporarily store the captured videos and photos in the memory of the phone case (10). In a possible embodiment of the invention, if the user saves a photo by means of a control button provided on the smart phone case (10), it can be ensured that the images in the memory unit (108) are saved in the phone memory. By means of another control button, the photos can be removed from the memory unit (108).

[0026] Referring to Figure 2; it is ensured that a user places the smart phone case (10) on the phone. It is ensured that the control unit (103) communicates with the phone processor unit (30) via the communication unit (107). The user can input operations such as video shooting, zooming, video shooting on the camera by means of the control buttons. The control unit (103) ensures that the command inputs received from the control buttons are transmitted to the phone processor unit (30). The phone processor unit (30) allows the camera to shoot according to the user's commands. The control unit (103) can instantly display the images taken from the camera on the display screen (101 ). Thus, it is possible to shoot photos and videos with high resolution in the rear camera (20) quality. Furthermore, thanks to the position of the display screen (101 ), the user can be able to shoot remotely by means of an object on the phone that moves the position of the phone relative to the user, such as a selfie stick, etc.. The control unit (103) allows the energy information received from the energy storage unit (104) to be displayed to the user on the display screen (101 ). Thus, the user can obtain information regarding the charging status of the smart phone case (10). The control unit (103) also allows the photos and videos taken to be stored in the memory unit (108). This helps to avoid a backlog of photos in the phone's memory.
