Abstract

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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A device for multi-angle photographing in eyeglasses comprising:
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, wherein the camera is connected between respective limiting stoppers of the at least two mobile platforms through the at least two motors, and wherein the camera is driven by the motors to move between the limiting stoppers of the mobile platforms to achieve multi-angle photographing.

2. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a motor control module configured to control the motors to drive the camera to move between the limiting stoppers of the mobile platforms in accordance with a desired photographing angle.

3. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
connectors configured to connect the motors with the camera and configured to move the camera under control of the motors.

4. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a transmission module configured to receive an instruction from a mobile phone or a remote device and transmit the instruction to the motor control module to control movement of the camera.

5. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an interface module configured to store the image captured by the camera in a storage device.

6. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one of:
a protective housing connected to the connectors and configured to accommodate the camera; and
a switch configured to turn on or turn off the camera.

7. The device according to claim 2 , further comprising:
connectors configured to connect the motors with the camera and configured to move camera under control of the motors.

8. The device according to claim 2 , further comprising:
an interface module configured to store the image captured by the camera in a storage device.

9. The device according to claim 2 , further comprising at least one of:
a protective housing connected to the connectors and configured to accommodate the camera; and
a switch configured to turn on or turn off the camera.

10. Eyeglasses comprising a device for multi-angle photographing, wherein the device comprises:
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, wherein the camera is connected between respective limiting stoppers of the at least two mobile platforms through the at least two motors, and wherein the camera is driven by the motors to move between the limiting stoppers of the mobile platforms to achieve multi-angle photographing.

11. The eyeglasses according to claim 10 , wherein the device further comprises:
a motor control module configured to control the motors to drive the camera to move between the limiting stoppers of the mobile platforms in accordance with a desired photographing angle.

12. The eyeglasses according to claim 10 , wherein the device further comprises:
connectors configured to connect the motors with the camera and configured to move the camera under control of the motors.

13. The eyeglasses according to claim 11 , wherein the device further comprises:
connectors configured to connect the motors with the camera and configured to move the camera under control of the motors.

14. The eyeglasses according to claim 11 , wherein the device further comprises:
a transmission module configured to receive an instruction from a mobile phone or a remote device and transmit the instruction to the motor control module to control movement of the camera.

15. The eyeglasses according to claim 10 , wherein the device further comprises:
an interface module configured to store the image captured by the camera in a storage device.

16. The eyeglasses according to claim 11 , wherein the device further comprises:
an interface module configured to store the image captured by the camera in a storage device.

17. The eyeglasses according to claim 10 , wherein the device further comprises at least one of:
a protective housing connected to the connectors and configured to accommodate the camera; and
a switch configured to turn on or turn off the camera.

18. The eyeglasses according to claim 11 , wherein the device further comprises at least one of:
a protective housing connected to the connectors and configured to accommodate the camera; and
a switch configured to turn on or turn off the camera.
