Motor-Driven Eyeglass Camera for Multi-Angle Photography
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional eyeglasses with photographic capabilities lack the ability for multi-angle rotatable and large-angle continuous photographing in both horizontal and vertical directions, limiting their panoramic shooting capabilities.
Innovation Solution
The integration of a camera mounted on eyeglasses with two motors and mobile platforms equipped with limiting stoppers, allowing the camera to rotate and move between these stoppers for multi-angle and multi-gesture photographing in both directions, facilitated by a motor control module and wireless communication for angle control and image storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single fixed camera is used in eyeglasses, then the structure is simple, but multi-angle and large-angle continuous photographing cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the camera movable through motor-driven mechanisms. The camera can rotate horizontally and tilt vertically, transforming from a static fixed position to a dynamic multi-position system. This enables the single camera to capture images at multiple angles and continuously pan across wide fields of view, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and multi-angle capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the camera system universal by enabling it to perform multiple functions: capturing images at various fixed angles through rotation, achieving continuous panoramic coverage through motor-driven panning, and adapting to different photographing scenarios. This single multi-functional camera system replaces what would otherwise require multiple fixed cameras, maintaining structural simplicity while achieving versatility.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple cameras are used to achieve multi-angle photographing, then photographing coverage is improved, but device complexity and weight increase
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using multiple static cameras at different positions, the patent employs a single camera mounted on a motor-driven rotating platform. The camera dynamically changes its orientation to capture images at various angles, achieving the same multi-angle coverage as multiple cameras would provide, but with significantly reduced weight and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the photographing function into two independent rotational movements: horizontal rotation for azimuth coverage and vertical tilting for elevation coverage. This segmentation allows a single camera to systematically cover the entire spherical field of view by combining these two degrees of freedom, replacing the need for multiple cameras positioned at different locations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If motors and mobile platforms are added for camera movement, then multi-angle photographing is enabled, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces motors and mobile platforms to create a dynamically adjustable camera positioning system. The motors drive the camera to rotate horizontally and tilt vertically, enabling flexible positioning at multiple angles. This dynamic system replaces static multi-camera arrangements, achieving positioning flexibility through controlled motion rather than complex mechanical structures.

AI summary
A device for multi-angle photographing in eyeglasses and eyeglasses including the device are disclosed. The device includes a camera mounted on the eyeglasses and configured to capture an image, at least two motors configured to drive the camera to move, and at least two mobile platforms, each of which is provided with a plurality of limiting stoppers. The camera is connected between respective limiting stoppers of the at least two mobile platforms through the at least two motors, and is driven by the motors to move between the limiting stoppers of the mobile platforms to implement multi-angle photographing. Thus the camera can be moved between the limiting stoppers at different levels, to realize multi-angle and multi-gesture photographing and viewfinding in the horizontal and vertical directions.
