Description

Interactive camera headset

The invention relates to an earphone, in particular to an interactive camera earphone which is provided with a speaker and a lens at a position of a user's ear, which is convenient for the user to shoot from the perspective of the first person.

The live broadcast interaction of the conventional technology uses a surveillance camera fixed on a computer screen for shooting, including a surveillance camera unit, a connecting cable and a fixed base. Among them, the surveillance camera unit is installed on the outer frame of the computer screen by using a fixed base, and then is electrically connected to the computer host by a connecting cable. When the live webcast interaction is turned on, the user uses a fixed surveillance camera unit to shoot the user's own image, and then sends the user's video signal to the network system through the computer host, so that the live broadcast viewer can watch the user's image.

However, when the viewer wants to watch the live video from the first person's perspective, the above technology is not conducive to presenting images other than the user, which causes the user to carry an additional camcorder when they want to record real-time images from the first person's perspective. Quite inconvenient. In addition, since the conventional camera is a fixed-type camera, it does not provide the convenience for the user to carry around.

Therefore, the present invention provides an interactive camera headset, which can take pictures of the user's view from the perspective of the first person. It has the advantages of light weight, hands-free, adjustable and easy to operate, and is especially suitable for live webcast and network interaction.

The interactive camera earphone of the present invention includes a head-mounted component, a first speaker and a first lens. The first speaker is disposed inside the head-mounted component, and the first lens is disposed outside the head-mounted component. Among them, the position of the first lens corresponds to the first speaker, so that the user can shoot the picture seen by the user from the perspective of the first person, achieving the advantages of lightness, hands-free and easy operation.

The aforementioned first lens may further include a lens rotating member, so that the first lens can rotate at an angle relative to the head-mounted component, so as to achieve the advantage of adjusting the shooting angle of view.

The aforementioned interactive camera headset may further include a live broadcast control device, which is electrically connected to the speaker and the first lens to control the volume of the speaker and the switch of the first lens to achieve the one-key live broadcast function.

As mentioned above, compared with the conventional technology, the present invention can integrate the shooting function into the earphone, use the earphone to receive the requirements and information of the network audience in real time, and simultaneously upload using the lens of the first person's perspective What the user sees. In this way, users only need to wear an interactive camera headset to easily interact with other Internet viewers, which can share the screen that is difficult to capture in real time with the conventional technology, while eliminating the trouble of carrying multiple sets of accessories.

For example, the rotation direction of the first lens 140 includes a vertical direction and a horizontal direction that are perpendicular to each other. In this way, the first lens 140 can simulate the perspective of the first person Turn your eyes to shoot objects in all directions.

As shown in FIG. 5, the interactive camera headset 100 can be electrically connected to the first speaker 120, the second speaker 130, the first lens 140, the microphone 150, and the live broadcast control device 170 by using a headphone cable to transmit the first lens 140 The generated image signal is transmitted to the computer device 20, the audio signal generated by the microphone 150 is transmitted to the computer device 20, and the audio signal of the computer device 20 is transmitted to the first speaker 120 and the second speaker 130.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, when the first lens 140 is connected to the head-mounted component 110, the image signal generated by the first lens 140 is transmitted to the computer device 20 through the headphone cable 160, and through the computer device 20, The headphone cable 160 and the lens connector 144 supply power to the first lens 140. When the first lens 140 is detached from the head-mounted component 110, the wireless signal transmitter 148 is used to wirelessly transmit the image signal generated by the first lens 140 to the computer device 20, such as a Bluetooth wireless transmission system, which can communicate with the user Bluetooth Contact the mobile phone signal of the system. The power supply device 142 is used to supply power to the first lens 140. Since the first lens 140 can be detached from the head-mounted component 110 to operate independently, it can provide users with more flexible interactive operations.

In other embodiments, the first lens 140 can be directly built into the interactive camera headset 100 without being detached from the head-mounted component 110. At this time, the first lens 140 operates in the same manner as the first lens 140 is connected to the head-mounted component 110, and the interactive camera headset 100 does not need to include the wireless signal transmitter 148 and the power supply device 142, which can be further The weight, volume and energy consumption of the interactive camera headset 100 and the first lens 140 are reduced to achieve a more compact application.
