Abstract:
An image input device (5) includes: a housing (11) having a slender incidence window (11a) to pass image pickup light from a subject therethrough into the housing (11); a mirror body (12) which has mirror faces (12a) for reflecting the image pickup light from the incidence window (11a) and rotatably or swingably provided in the housing; a linear sensor (14) which is disposed in the housing (11) and takes the image pickup light reflected from the mirror body (12) to subject the image pickup light to photoelectric conversion; and a plurality of illuminators (51) which are provided in the housing (11) and successively turned on to light up to the subject.
Abstract:
A scanner (10) having a chassis (11) and a body (15), the body containing a base portion (16) and a document lid (17). The body (15) is movably connected to the chassis (11) by a connection element (25), allowing the body (15) to move from a substantially horizontal operative position to a substantially vertical rest position.
Abstract:
Scanner apparatus (10) may comprise a housing (12) having a front side (16) and a back side (18) and a scanning device (30) sized to be received by the housing (12). A transparent platen (28) located on the front side (16) of the housing (12) allows an object positioned adjacent the transparent platen (28) to be scanned by the scanning device (30). A window (32) located on the back side (18) of the housing (12) allows a user to view at least a portion the object positioned adjacent the transparent platen (28).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a mobile telephone (MFG) comprising a high frequency part (HFT), a digital signal processor (DSP) and an antenna (ANT), and optionally an audio part (AUD), a receiver inset (LSP) and a microphone (MIC). According to the invention, the mobile telephone also has a facsimile scanning line (SCZ) which is connected to the signal processor (DSP) via an image processor (BVG). Said signal processor (DSP) and said image processor (BVG) are configured for at least partially temporarily storing an image scanned by the scanning line and then sending said image in digital form via the high frequency part (HFT).
Abstract:
A portable camera for recording and displaying an image of an object such as printed paper wherein the camera is arranged to be positioned on an object to be recorded wherein the cameras is provided with an outer lower surface which is arranged to be in contact with the object if the camera is positioned on the object, a light sensitive sensor for obtaining an image of at least a portion of the object, a display and processing means for processing the image obtained by means of the sensor and for displaying at least a portion of the recorded image on the display in a possible magnified form, wherein the camera is provided with at least one lighting unit for lighting the object to be recorded when the camera is positioned on the object, wherein the camera is arranged such that light rays of the at least one lighting unit which are, in use, submitted to the object are directly submitted to the object, possibly via a mirror and/or a lens wherein the lighting unit is arranged within the camera such that if the object which is recorded would be a flat mirror whereon the camera is positioned for recording the flat mirror, the lighting unit is located outside a viewing field of the sensor which viewing field is formed in combination with the flat mirror.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a portable magnifier camera that can be selectively positioned into a variety of configurations. At least four distinct viewing configurations are provided: a reading mode wherein the camera rests flatly upon the viewed object; a writing mode wherein the camera rests at an angle upon the viewed object; a hand-held mode wherein the user holds the camera relative to a distant object; and an inspection mode wherein the user holds the viewed object relative to the camera. These configurations enable a user to effectively view objects of differing size and at varying distances.
