SYSTEME ELECTRONIQUE
DESTINE A DELIVRER UNE PHOTO
La présente invention concerne un système de prise de vue électronique, destiné à délivrer automatiquement une photo à l'utilisateur, et particulièrement des photos d'identité produites par impression thermique.ELECTRONIC SYSTEM
FOR DELIVERING A PHOTO
The present invention relates to an electronic shooting system, intended for automatically delivering a photo to the user, and particularly identity photos produced by thermal printing.
Dans la technique antérieure on connaît de nombreux appareils qui délivrent automatiquement une photo
Les brevets anglais 1 216 477 - 1 331 811 - 2 083 635
Les brevets U. S. A. 3852783 - 4089017 - 4091397
Les brevets français 965 257 - 2 093 641 - 2 618 229 décrivent des mécanismes de prise de vue automatique. Ces appareils impressionnent un papier positif qui est soumis immédiatement au développement par un passage successif dans un certain nombre de bains.In the prior art, numerous devices are known which automatically deliver a photo
British patents 1,216,477 - 1,331,811 - 2,083,635
US patents 3,852,783 - 4,089,017 - 4,091,397
French patents 965,257 - 2,093,641 - 2,618,229 describe automatic shooting mechanisms. These devices impress a positive paper which is immediately subjected to development by a successive passage in a certain number of baths.
Ces techniques nécessitent un mécanisme complexe et onéreux, qui est exposé à la corrosion des bains et il en résulte des anomalies qui provoquent la panne du dispositif. De plus, les bains se détériorent rapidement et doivent être renouvelés fréquemment, vu ces difficultés ces appareils demandent une maintenance fastidieuse et coûteuse et ils fournissent généralement des clichés de basse qualité. These techniques require a complex and expensive mechanism, which is exposed to corrosion of the baths and this results in anomalies which cause the device to fail. In addition, the baths deteriorate quickly and must be renewed frequently, given these difficulties these devices require tedious and expensive maintenance and they generally provide low-quality shots.
De plus les bains utilisés sont souvent déversés à l'égout ce qui est regrettable au point de vue écologique car ces produits sont polluants.In addition, the baths used are often poured down the drain, which is unfortunate from an ecological point of view because these products are polluting.
Le Brevet français n02 570 843 décrit une cabine de prise de vue automatique qui permet de supprimer l'emploi de bains polluants en utilisant une surface sensible munie de sa propre dose de produits chimiques destinés à lui assurer son développement. Cette technique présente plusieurs inconvénients, en effet, il est difficile d'emmagasiner une quantité importante de ce type de substrat sensible et de plus les produits chimiques contenus sont nocifs et plus ou moins polluants.French Patent No. 02 570 843 describes an automatic shooting cabin which eliminates the use of polluting baths by using a sensitive surface provided with its own dose of chemicals intended to ensure its development. This technique has several drawbacks, in fact, it is difficult to store a large quantity of this type of sensitive substrate and, moreover, the chemicals contained are harmful and more or less polluting.
A ce jour on connaît des imprimantes thermiques et leur commande par vidéo.To date, thermal printers and their control by video are known.
Les brevets français 2 552 911 - 2 521 910 - 2 522 911 . Les brevets E.P. French patents 2,552,911 - 2,521,910 - 2,522,911. E.P.
320 284 - 304 823 - 256 660 décrivent des imprimantes multicolores par transfert ainsi que la commande par vidéo. Ces dispositifs n'ont pas ou peu de point commun avec l'objet du présent brevet, du fait qu'ils ne comportent pas de moyens permettant de délivrer automatiquement une photo en self-service.320,284 - 304,823 - 256,660 describe multi-color transfer printers as well as video control. These devices have little or nothing in common with the subject of this patent, because they do not include means for automatically delivering a self-service photo.
La présente invention vise à remédier aux différents inconvénients cités et permet d'obtenir en libre service des clichés de bonne qualité et sans l'emploi de bains polluants.The present invention seeks to remedy the various drawbacks mentioned and makes it possible to obtain good quality self-service photographs without the use of polluting baths.
Le but est atteint en créant un système de prise de vue électronique comportant plusieurs imprimantes thermiques qui sont commandées par un circuit leur permettant de fonctionner alternativement et simultanément suivant l'usage de la caméra, le circuit comporte un aiguilleur qui oriente un séquenceur vers l'imprimante disponible, un détecteur de mise en service informe l'aiguilleur sur les anomalies et l'occupation de chaque imprimante de manière à diriger le traitement du cliché sur une imprimante libre et en mesure de fonctionner.The goal is achieved by creating an electronic shooting system comprising several thermal printers which are controlled by a circuit allowing them to operate alternately and simultaneously according to the use of the camera, the circuit comprises a switcher which directs a sequencer towards the printer available, a commissioning detector informs the switcher on the anomalies and the occupation of each printer so as to direct the processing of the image on a free printer able to function.
Les caractéristiques de l'invention ressortiront plus particulièrement des descriptions suivantes, données à titre d'exemples non limitatifs et décrits en se référant aux dessins annexés sur lesquels sont représentés
Fig. 1 : Schéma d'une caméra vidéo et de son circuit destiné à transmettre
des signaux aux imprimantes multicolores,
Fig. 2 : Schéma du circuit interposé entre la caméra vidéo et les
imprimantes.The characteristics of the invention will emerge more particularly from the following descriptions, given by way of nonlimiting examples and described with reference to the appended drawings in which are represented

signals to multi-color printers,
Fig. 2: Diagram of the circuit interposed between the video camera and the
printers.
La fig. 1 représente le système de prise de vue électronique qui comporte plusieurs imprimantes thermiques 1, 2, 3 qui sont commandées par un circuit 4 leur permettant de fonctionner alternativement et simultanément suivant les fréquences de prises de vue de la caméra 5, le circuit 4 comporte un aiguilleur qui oriente un séquenceur vers l'imprimante disponible, un détecteur de mise en service informe l'aiguilleur sur les anomalies et l'occupation de chaque imprimante de manière à diriger le traitement du cliché sur une imprimante libre et en mesure de fonctionner.Fig. 1 represents the electronic shooting system which comprises several thermal printers 1, 2, 3 which are controlled by a circuit 4 allowing them to operate alternately and simultaneously according to the shooting frequencies of the camera 5, the circuit 4 comprises a switch which directs a sequencer towards the available printer, a commissioning detector informs the switch on the anomalies and the occupation of each printer so as to direct the processing of the photograph on a free printer able to function.
La fig. 2 représente le schéma du circuit 4 interposé entre la caméra vidéo et les imprimantes. Chaque imprimante comporte des D.E.L. de contrôle (diode électroluminescente) dont les circuits sont reliés en série pour alimenter un système temporisateur qui en cas d'anomalie envoie un signal au service d'entretien par la coopération de tous moyens connus. Les imprimantes comportent un automatisme géré par un logiciel qui permet avec une seule prise de vue d'imprimer sur un papier thermique soit six photos format identité, soit un mini portrait. Fig. 2 shows the diagram of circuit 4 interposed between the video camera and the printers. Each printer has D.E.L. control (light emitting diode) whose circuits are connected in series to supply a timer system which in the event of an anomaly sends a signal to the maintenance service by the cooperation of all known means. The printers include an automation managed by software which allows, with a single shot, to print on thermal paper either six identity format photos or a mini portrait.
Pour certaines applications l'imprimante comporte une mémoire permettant avec une seule prise de vue d'imprimer un nombre illimité de clichés.For some applications the printer has a memory allowing with a single shot to print an unlimited number of shots.
Le cycle est déclenché par un BP (bouton poussoir), ou plus généralement par un contact sec pour certaines applications en self-service.The cycle is triggered by a BP (push button), or more generally by a dry contact for certain self-service applications.
Le circuit vidéo est déclenché par un système d'encaissement qui est réalisé par tous moyens connus soit du type monnayeur soit par carte de crédit.The video circuit is triggered by a collection system which is carried out by any known means either of the coin type or by credit card.
Le circuit électronique comporte un synchronisateur de flash qui déclenche celui-ci au moment de la mise en mémoire de l'image.The electronic circuit includes a flash synchronizer which triggers it when the image is stored.
Les imprimantes sont caractérisées en ce qu'elles comportent une autonomie qui permet d'assurer successivement plus de trois cents photos.Printers are characterized in that they have an autonomy which makes it possible to ensure successively more than three hundred photos.
Le miroir de cadrage 6 a une translation verticale dans une glissière 7.The framing mirror 6 has a vertical translation in a slide 7.
L'objectif de la caméra vidéo est solidaire du miroir de cadrage qui comporte un mécanisme destiné à le positionner verticalement en rapport de la taille de l'usager. The objective of the video camera is integral with the framing mirror which includes a mechanism intended to position it vertically in relation to the size of the user.
