Referring to Fig. 4, the present invention is a remote-controlled launcher 1 of exporting remote signal by being used to carry out remote control, and can not utilize another receiving loop to receive the signal of remote-controlled launcher 1, and desire receives the remote-receiver 20 that remote control actions is photographed with existing light receiving element, what promptly camera body constituted.
The structure of remote-controlled launcher 1 is identical with existing remote-controlled launcher, therefore its explanation is omitted.
Remote-receiver 20 is along with remote signal is in remote state, it by when the state usually along with shutter release switch S W2Action and being used for control the CPU (central processing unit) 201 of the common photography that realizes that distance is adjusted; Launch the infrarede emitting diode IRED of infrared light to subject for automatic focusing; Be connected with CPU (central processing unit) 201, detect the remote signal of being launched on the remote-controlled launcher 1 by incidental light receiving element PSD; Utilization is made self-regulating automatic focusing and remote control part 202 by the incident infrared incident angle that reflects that aforementioned infrarede emitting diode IRED is launched to the focus of tested scenery on subject; Be connected with CPU (central processing unit) 201, along with the action of automatic focusing and remote control receiving unit 202, because focal adjustments and along with the motor part 24 of the control signal CD-ROM drive motor of CPU (central processing unit) 201; And the shutter section 25 of focusing owing to motor action that is connected with said motor drive part 24 constitutes.
Referring to Fig. 7, aforesaid remote-control camera promptly, is pressed and is inserted power supply start-up period 100 by illustrated program work; Judge whether to be in the remote control mode stage 200; When non-remote control mode,, promptly judge the stage 300 that shutter release switch could move for the action of generally photographing; When remote control mode, i.e. the stage 400 is judged in the reception of remote control control; Detect the remote control control signal and shutter release switch action phase 450 after certain hour postpones; Along with the shutter release switch action is carried out the focal adjustments stage 500 to subject; To the subject photography stage 600; And the working routine in release stage 700 is carried out.
In addition, Fig. 5 represents, the detailed components of aforesaid automatic focusing and remote control receiving unit.Wherein, automatic focusing and remote control receiving unit 202 are by the prime amplifier 221 that is connecting light receiving element PSD; The multiplexer 222 that is connecting prime amplifier 221 and CPU (central processing unit) 201; The bandpass filter 223 that is connected with multiplexer 222; The amplifier 224 that is connected with bandpass filter 223; The integrator 225 that is connected with multiplexer 222 with amplifier 224; Comparer 226 formations such as grade that are connected with CPU (central processing unit) 201 with integrator 225.
Below, the remotely controlled cameras of aforementioned formation is further stated.
At first, add power supply, make CPU (central processing unit) 201 begin out work, remote-controlled launcher 1 does not separate from camera body, then the remote control mode switch S W1Be failure to actuate, promptly do the photography of subject usually with the typical CCD camera state.Therefore, only need being contained in the shutter release switch S on the remote-receiver 20 W2State judge.
If shutter release switch S W2Connect then the focus action and the photography of taking a picture based on this of the distance at first measured of CPU (central processing unit) 201 with subject according to automatic focusing and remote control receiving unit 202.
But, if the user separates remote-controlled launcher with remote control actions for making camera from remote-receiver, remote control mode switch S then W1Be in on-state as Fig. 6 (a), remote-receiver, promptly camera has just formed remote control mode.
Press the remote control shutter release S of remote-controlled launcher 1 along with the user 1, then as Fig. 6 (b), then remote-controlled launcher 1 is launched the infrared ray that certain frequency and dutycycle are arranged.This infrared ray converts electric signal to by the light receiving element PSD of automatic focusing and remote control receiving unit 202, that is, and and from the electric current I of two channels of light receiving element PSD output 1, I 2
Prime amplifier 221 receives these two channel electric current I 1, I 2, and after the current conversion of being imported become correspondent voltage, amplify respectively by a certain size.
Voltage through amplifying is imported into multiplexer 222, and multiplexer 222 is pressed the channel selecting signal C/S of integrator 225 and CPU (central processing unit) 201, selected suitable input end in two input ends.Thus, the voltage of a channel through amplifying is input to bandpass filter 223 by output terminal, and only the signal of being launched by remote-controlled launcher could pass through bandpass filter 223.
Through the signal of bandpass filter 223 filtering, amplify integration with a certain size component by amplifier 224 and integrator 225.Integrated signal input comparator 226, integrated signal are defeated by CPU (central processing unit) 201 with the digital signal of certain level of being equivalent to set here.
If the input integral voltage that in a single day CPU (central processing unit) 201 detects comparer 226 is in certain voltage when above, just, make integrator 225 termination integral actions, with the mensuration integration period to integrator 225 output control signal CTR.At this moment, the integration period of mensuration have with from the light emitting diode IRED of remote-controlled launcher 1 1The frequency shown in Fig. 6 (c) that the infrared ray of being launched is similar and the occasion of dutycycle, CPU (central processing unit) 201 just in the identification remote control actions regular hour, for example after 2 seconds, are sent the shutter release switch S shown in Fig. 6 (c) W2The signal of connecting carries out focal adjustments by automatic focusing and 202 pairs of subjects of remote control receiving unit.
On the other hand, automatically regulate in order to carry out focus with automatic focusing and remote control receiving unit 202, at first, IRED launches infrared ray to subject by infrarede emitting diode, and make the infrared ray of launching by subject, so that the identical detection method of the remote signal of remote-controlled launcher 1 is surveyed by light receiving element PSD, and export one group of electric current I 1, I 2
Then, select to join a signal in two channels in the multiplexer 222 by the channel selecting signal of CPU (central processing unit) 201, measure integration period with the same action that remote signal is handled, and after being stored, the channel selecting signal C/S that again integration of integrator 225 is finished signal and CPU (central processing unit) 201 exports multiplexer 222 to, select another different channels from multiplexer 222 again, aforesaid action is repeated to measure integral time.By two integration periods of such mensuration, if identical, then CPU (central processing unit) 201 just makes motor part 24 action, is in motor in the shutter part 25 with driving.
But, if the remote control shutter release S of emitter 1 1Be failure to actuate, in the time of can not detecting remote signal, then CPU (central processing unit) 201 continues the holding state of maintenance to the remote signal of remote-controlled launcher 1.
If owing to the action of aforesaid motor makes the camera lens action, and the subject focus is done to regulate automatically, then CPU (central processing unit) 201 is carried out the subsequent action of subject.
Shown in Fig. 6 (c), between the remote signal that senses remote-controlled launcher 1, again through the action of just photographing behind the certain hour, its reason be this will make that the user is desirable must oneself desirable attitude, and be unlikely to take the photograph into factitious photo.
Aforesaid automatic focusing and remote control receiving unit 202 not only can be more accurate because light receiving element SPD has utilized CCD electric charge integrated device the signal of detection remote-controlled launcher 1 and the reflected signal of subject, but also can be used as the light receiving element that transmits that is used to detect remote-controlled launcher 1, utilize with adding optical conductor that light intensity changes internal feature and detect the signal of the emission of remote-controlled launcher 1.
The camera that the present invention who works in a manner described is remote-controlled, in order to detect remote signal, another remote control receiving unit can be set, and utilize the ultrared light receiving element that can detect that is provided with for automatic focusing to detect the remote-control transmitting signal, thereby can realize the remote control of camera action.Therefore, the formation of camera is oversimplified, miniaturization, this is very beneficial for reducing the camera cost of manufacture, can realize the advanced of middle-grade phase mechanical goods.
In addition because the remote-control transmitting signal is applied directly on the light-receiving member of the red ejected wave that just detects subject reflection, therefore make to the sensing range when this detects subject reflected signal more distant location carry out remote control and also become possibility.
