US 12,416,845 B2 · Light supplementing apparatus for a device with a camera and a device with a camera

Abstract

The present application discloses a light supplementing apparatus for a device with a camera and a device with a camera. The light supplementing apparatus is provided with two sensor modules on two horizontal sides of a camera, and detection directions of the two sensor modules are horizontally and reversely biased with respect to a photographing direction of the camera so that an overall detection range of the two sensor modules is larger than the photographing range of the camera. Thus, when the ambient illumination is low, the device with a camera may recognize a target object through the two sensor modules and turn on a light supplementing lamp only before the target object is about to enter a photographing visual field of the camera, instead of having to turn on the light supplementing lamp all the time, which reduces the power consumption of light supplementing.

Dependent claims

A light supplementing apparatus for a device with a camera, the light supplementing apparatus is configured to mount on the device with a camera, the device with a camera comprising a camera, wherein the light supplementing apparatus comprises:

a sensor unit mounted on the device with a camera, wherein the sensor unit comprises a first sensor module and a second sensor module which are provided on two horizontal sides of the camera;
a light supplementing lamp provided beside the camera, the light supplementing lamp being configured to emit light toward the photographing visual field of the camera;
and
a system controller mounted inside the device with a camera,
wherein the system controller comprises a first signal interface and a second signal interface;
the first signal interface is connected to the sensor unit through a signal, and the second signal interface is connected to the light supplementing lamp through a signal, so that a level state of the system controller for driving the light supplementing lamp is controlled by the level state outputted by the sensor unit.
