Description
本発明は、レンズを搭載し映像を撮影するための装置（以下、撮像装置とする）において、その撮影対象確認部から赤外線の受光場所を確認できる赤外線装置に関する。The present invention relates to an infrared device capable of confirming an infrared light receiving place from a photographing object confirmation unit in an apparatus (hereinafter referred to as an imaging apparatus) for mounting a lens and photographing an image.
現在、撮像装置で撮影した情報を情報端末または情報蓄積機器など他の機器へ送信するためには、撮像装置と他の機器をケーブルで接続する必要がある。Currently, in order to transmit information captured by an imaging device to another device such as an information terminal or an information storage device, it is necessary to connect the imaging device and the other device with a cable.
赤外線送受信素子を搭載している機器は、赤外線送受信素子を搭載している機器同士での情報の送受信を、機器同士を赤外線の照射距離内に近づけ赤外線送受光部で赤外線を送受光する、赤外線通信によって行うことができる。A device equipped with an infrared transmitter / receiver device transmits / receives information between devices equipped with an infrared transmitter / receiver device, and sends / receives infrared rays using an infrared transmitter / receiver unit, bringing the devices close to each other within the infrared irradiation distance. This can be done by communication.
撮像装置で撮影した情報を情報端末または情報蓄積機器などの機器に送信するには、撮像装置と受信側の機器をケーブルでつなぐ必要がある。しかしケーブルでつなげる際には、ケーブル長に拘束される場合や、ケーブルの接続口にケーブルの端子を挿すのが困難な場合など、さまざまな問題がある。また、ケーブルは忘れたり失くしたりしやすく、必要なときに手元にない場合作業ができない、といった問題もある。In order to transmit information captured by the imaging device to a device such as an information terminal or an information storage device, it is necessary to connect the imaging device and a receiving device with a cable. However, when connecting with a cable, there are various problems, such as when the cable is constrained by the cable length or when it is difficult to insert the cable terminal into the cable connection port. Another problem is that cables are easy to forget or lose, and work is not possible if they are not at hand when needed.
赤外線通信は、送信側の赤外線装置から赤外線を送信し、受信側の赤外線装置の赤外線受光部に受光させることによって行われる。しかし、送信した赤外線が受信側の赤外線受光部に当たっているかどうかは目で確認することができない。赤外線を赤外線受光部へ確実に命中させるには経験による学習が必要であり、うまく赤外線を送信できず苦労することもある。Infrared communication is performed by transmitting infrared light from the infrared device on the transmission side and causing the infrared light receiving unit of the infrared device on the reception side to receive light. However, it cannot be visually confirmed whether or not the transmitted infrared rays hits the infrared light receiving unit on the receiving side. Learning by experience is necessary to reliably hit the infrared ray receiving unit with infrared rays, and it may be difficult to transmit infrared rays well.
本発明は、上記の問題を解決しようとするものである。まず、撮像装置から他の機器への情報の送受信を赤外線通信で行えるようにする。さらにそのための赤外線装置は、赤外線の受光状態を撮像装置で確認できるような場所に搭載するようにする。本発明は、このような赤外線装置を提供することを目的とする。The present invention seeks to solve the above problems. First, transmission / reception of information from the imaging apparatus to other devices can be performed by infrared communication. Furthermore, the infrared device for that purpose is mounted in a place where the infrared light receiving state can be confirmed by the imaging device. An object of the present invention is to provide such an infrared device.

The above problems can be solved by the following present invention. The invention described in
また、請求項２に記載した発明は、上記手段の赤外線装置において、前記撮影用レンズを通過した前記撮影光を前記撮影対象確認部に導く光路の光軸上において、前記撮影用レンズを通過した前記撮影光を前記撮像部に導く光路の光軸上以外の部分に配置されることを特徴とする、赤外線装置である。
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the infrared device of the above means, the photographing lens has passed through the photographing lens on an optical axis of an optical path that guides the photographing light that has passed through the photographing lens to the photographing target confirmation unit . An infrared device, wherein the infrared light device is disposed at a portion other than an optical axis of an optical path for guiding the photographing light to the imaging unit .

Can transmit infrared rays.
上記の本発明について、図面を用いて説明する。但し、本発明はこれらの図面に限定されるものではない。図１は、本発明の赤外線装置の第１の実施例の構成を示す断面図である。撮像装置の一例としてデジタル一眼レフカメラを、撮影対象確認部の一例としてファインダーをあげる。図中の１はデジタル一眼レフカメラ本体、２はミラー、３はシャッター、４はフィルム、５はファインダー、６はペンタリズム、７はスクリーン、８はレンズ、９は光軸、Ａは赤外線装置をそれぞれ示す。赤外線装置Ａは光軸９上に搭載されている。The above-described present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of a first embodiment of the infrared device of the present invention. A digital single-lens reflex camera is used as an example of an imaging device, and a viewfinder is used as an example of a shooting target confirmation unit. In the figure, 1 is a digital single lens reflex camera body, 2 is a mirror, 3 is a shutter, 4 is a film, 5 is a viewfinder, 6 is a pentarhythm, 7 is a screen, 8 is a lens, 9 is an optical axis, and A is an infrared device. Each is shown. The infrared device A is mounted on the optical axis 9.

図２は、本発明における赤外線装置を搭載した撮像装置を使っての赤外線通信の詳細動作を示すフローチャートである。この図を用いて、本発明の動作について説明する。FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the detailed operation of infrared communication using an imaging device equipped with the infrared device according to the present invention. The operation of the present invention will be described with reference to this figure.
最初の手順として、本発明における赤外線装置を搭載した撮像装置から送信したい情報を選択する（Ｓ１）。続いて、選択した情報を赤外線通信によって送信するための手順に移る。まず、撮像装置のレンズを受信側の機器の赤外線受光部の方向に向ける（Ｓ２）。その際、撮像装置と受信側機器間の距離は、赤外線装置の照射距離内にする。次に、撮像装置の撮影対象確認部で、赤外線が受信側機器のどこに当たっているか、赤外線受光部に正しく当たっているかを確認する（Ｓ３）。赤外線が受信側機器の赤外線受光部に当たっていなければ、当たるよう撮像装置の場所や向きを調節する（Ｓ４）。撮像装置からの赤外線が、受信側機器の赤外線受光部に当たったら、撮像装置の送信ボタンを押し、情報を送信する（Ｓ５）。As an initial procedure, information to be transmitted is selected from the imaging device equipped with the infrared device according to the present invention (S1). Subsequently, the procedure proceeds to a procedure for transmitting the selected information by infrared communication. First, the lens of the imaging device is directed toward the infrared light receiving unit of the receiving device (S2). At this time, the distance between the imaging device and the receiving device is within the irradiation distance of the infrared device. Next, the photographing target confirmation unit of the imaging apparatus confirms where the infrared ray hits the receiving device and whether the infrared ray strikes correctly (S3). If the infrared ray does not hit the infrared ray receiving part of the receiving device, the location and orientation of the imaging device are adjusted so as to hit (S4). When the infrared light from the imaging device hits the infrared light receiving unit of the receiving device, the transmission button of the imaging device is pressed to transmit information (S5).

In the figure, 10 indicates infrared rays, 11 indicates a liquid crystal monitor, 12 indicates information to be transmitted, 13 indicates a receiving device, 14 indicates an infrared light receiving unit, and 15 indicates a location where infrared rays are hit. In this description, a desktop personal computer is used as an example of the receiving device 13 and an image is used as an example of the
本発明は、本発明における赤外線装置を情報を送信する撮像装置に搭載することで、赤外線通信をする際、情報を送信する撮像装置の撮影対象確認部に受信側の機器で赤外線を受光している場所が表示されることで、確実に受信側の機器の赤外線受光部に赤外線を受光させることができることを特長としている。図３で示すように、映像を送信するデジタル一眼レフカメラ本体１のファインダー５で、赤外線１０が受信側のデスクトップパソコン１３のどこに当たっているかを確認することができる。図３では、ファインダー５から、赤外線１０がデスクトップパソコン１３の赤外線受光部１４に命中していないことがわかる。そのため、デスクトップパソコン１３の赤外線受光部１４に命中するよう、デジタル一眼レフカメラ本体１の場所や向きを調節する必要がある。In the present invention, when the infrared device according to the present invention is mounted on an imaging device that transmits information, when performing infrared communication, the imaging target confirmation unit of the imaging device that transmits information receives infrared light at a receiving device. It is characterized in that infrared rays can be reliably received by the infrared ray receiving unit of the device on the receiving side by displaying the location. As shown in FIG. 3, the
液晶モニタ１１で送信したい画像１２を選択し、送信したい画像１２を確実に送信することができる。The
本発明の赤外線装置によると、撮像装置と他の機器間の情報の送受信を赤外線通信で行うことができるため、従来、機器間で情報を送受信する際必要だったケーブルが不要になる。さらに、本発明の赤外線装置を撮像装置の光軸上に搭載することにより、撮影対象確認部から赤外線の受光状態を目で確認することができ、確実に受信側機器の赤外線受光部に受光させることが可能となる。According to the infrared device of the present invention, information can be transmitted and received between the imaging device and other devices by infrared communication, so that a cable that has been conventionally required when transmitting and receiving information between devices is not necessary. Furthermore, by mounting the infrared device of the present invention on the optical axis of the imaging device, it is possible to visually confirm the infrared light receiving state from the photographing target confirmation unit, and to make sure that the infrared light receiving unit of the receiving device receives the light.
