Abstract
A smart mirror (and imaging) system which enables a user to view themselves in the mirror of the system while separately capturing self-images when positioned within the viewing capability of a camera employed in combination with the mirror system. The mirror system can be sufficiently sized for carrying in a purse, in a laptop computer carrying case, a brief case, and/or a piece of carry-on luggage for air travel. The mirror system can be configured with volatile onboard memory to automatically lose the onboard data when the mirror system power is removed or dropped.
Claims20
A mirror system, comprising:
- a housing having an internal volume within a front panel and a back panel, long side panels, and short side panels, the front panel comprises a reflective surface which functions as a mirror to an object positioned outside the internal volume and in front of the front panel;
- an imaging system mounted within the housing for capturing an image of the object via an aperture of the front panel, the imaging system operating according to instructions for configuring, capturing, transmitting, and storing the image;
- and
- a data connection for transmission of at least the image from the imaging system and storage of the image in an external storage.
