Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of digital photography, and more particularly to a novel digital camera system employing a pair of digital cameras for photographing a live subject and data card information with subsequent temporary review ofthe data on a display screen followed by transmittal ofthe data to a remote computer and printer via telephone lines.
- Recent practices in digital photography indicate that the preparation of finished prints can be significantly accelerated by sending digitized images to a remote site for processing and printing so as to eliminate mail or courier service.
- Hard copy prints from a digital representation can be prepared in minutes and picture quality can be controlled using a computer graphics work station.
- Digital cameras to photograph infants eliminates the need for film, scanners and video recorders and can be controlled directly from modems or by local computers. Therefore, a long-standing need has existed to provide a novel baby or infant photography system wherein images ofthe subject can be taken and pre-approved prior to transmission to a remote computer for processing and printing. Also, the image should be accompanied by identifying information and data which would be useful in not only delivering the finished product but in billing and recording purposes.
- the present invention provides a novel digital camera system for photographing babies or infants wherein the infant subject is supported in a portable support stand in spaced arrangement with a color digital camera.
- the color digital camera is carried in a housing along with a gray camera.
- the infant lies along the optical axis ofthe digital color camera while the optical axis ofthe gray camera projects through a data card insertably received through the housing.
- Control circuits are interconnected between the two cameras for initially causing the image from the digital color camera to appear on a display for preview by the equipment operator.
- the digital images ofthe baby from the color camera and the information derived from the data card by the gray camera is processed through a modem to a computer and a printer via telephone lines.
- a timer is provided in a control circuit for permitting the operator to hold the baby image on the display screen for a preset time period and for organizing the transmission of digital information from both cameras to the computer via the modem.
- Another object ofthe present invention is to provide a photographic system utilizing digital cameras whereby the image quality is comparable to conventional photographic prints.
- Another object ofthe present invention is to provide a novel photographic system for photographing newborn infants using remotely operated digital cameras and which may be operated by untrained hospital personnel.
- Still another object ofthe present invention is to provide a novel remotely operated digital camera system for photographing newborn infants, which provides an on-site display and which provides for remote processing and printing.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the novel digital camera system inco ⁇ orating the present invention
- Figure 2 is a perspective diagrammatic view ofthe housing used in the system shown in Figure 1 illustrating the arrangement of digital cameras and other components;
- Figure 3 is an enlarged view ofthe underside ofthe color digital camera and its external flash unit;
- Figure 4 is a diagrammatic view showing a data card actuating switch disposed in the housing shown in Figure 2; and Figure 5 is a camera assembly block diagram setting forth the system components within the housing shown in Figure 2.
- the novel digital camera photographic system ofthe present invention is illustrated in the general direction of arrow 10.
- the system includes a portable stand or frame 1 1 having a base with a plurality of wheels 12 so that the stand is portable and may be moved about.
- the stand includes an upright stanchion 13 which extends above a subframe 14 holding a basket 15 in which an infant intended to be photographed is placed.
- the infant is represented by numeral 16 and is confined within the basket by surrounding sidewalls.
- a cushion, blanket and other appurtenances may be placed in the basket as desired.
- the upper end of stanchion 13 includes a housing 17 which projects over the basket 15 and the infant 16.
- the housing supports a printed circuit board 18 on which is mounted a color digital camera 20 and a gray or black and white digital camera 21 Adjacent to the camera 20 is an external strobe light 22.
- the side of housing 17 includes an elongated slot 23 for insertably receiving a data card 24.
- the data card includes a surface area for recording pertinent information regarding the infant such as date of birth, age, parents names and addresses or the like. Such a surface area is indicated by numeral 25.
- the display surface ofthe card 24 Upon insertion through slot 23 into the housing 17, the display surface ofthe card 24 will lie on an optical axis 26 ofthe gray camera 21 while the infant 16 lies on an optical axis 27 relating to the fixed color digital camera
- the side ofthe housing 17 further mounts a display screen 28 which is operably connected to the color digital camera 20 so that the image taken ofthe infant can be screened for approval. This is a temporary screening and may be cancelled if unsuitable.
- the system 10 utilizes two fixed digital cameras. The first camera is the color digital camera 20 which has its own strobe unit 22 and is used for photographing the infant. The other camera 21 is employed for photographing the data on the identification card 24. Both cameras are connected to a modem 30 that is subsequently interrogated periodically by a service or processing group. The service or processing group will retrieve and print the pictures taken by both cameras via the modem and by a remote computer 31 and printer 32.
- the modem 30 transmits information to the computer via telephone lines 33 and a dock base 34 that couples the telephone lines to the modem.
- the dock base 34 also connects AC power to the modem and is indicted by numeral 35.
- the modem 30 is also included within the housing 17 and the dock base 34 is mounted on the end ofthe housing. This is indicated in the Figure by means of broken lines from the terminal at the end ofthe housing 17 to the block entitled modem.
- the cameras 20 and 21 are wired together so that both are triggered from a single button, green, 36.
- the button 36 is used to initiate the taking of the picture by activating the cameras. Once activated, the image ofthe infant taken by camera 20 will appear on the display screen 28 for a temporary review by the operator. If the picture is unacceptable, cancellation may be effected by depressing button number 37 which is separate erase button allowing the last picture to e detected from both cameras so that a picture can be retaken.
- the color camera 20 is adjustable to compensate for lighting and focusing variations. In some instances, an audible alarm or speaker will be installed to permit the operator to be signalled at the end of picture taking operations.
- the gray camera 21 has a standard lense and is fixed focus and fixed aperture. An infrared cutting filter may be employed and may be removed to increase sensitivity. An internal low power light source, such as an infrared LED, may be used to illuminate the identification card 24.
- the two camera ports are operably connected in parallel for operation with the modem 30 which will then be connected to the telephone line 33 through the docking station or base 34.
- a single rugged connector attaches the camera assembly to the docking station or base and provides both AC power and communications such as via a video jack 40 and a remote jack 41.
- the modem is mounted within the camera assembly housing 17 and is not powered until the assembly is connected to the docking base.
- the camera assembly includes a battery charge 42. as shown in Figure 5, which runs from the AC input that supplies power to a bank of rechargeable batteries 43.
- the batteries and battery charger are shown in figure 5 and operate the camera assembly when it is disconnected from its docking base.
- the color and gray cameras having different lead-in characters or codes for recognition and operation purposes.
- the camera addressing or coding is controlled by sending the appropriate lead-in code character.
- the management site which includes the computer 31 and the printer 32 requires the ability to retrieve images from the remote cameras transmitter over the telephone line.
- the computer will store the digital pictures in a data base registered to the ID card information and will modify the pictures to improved quality and paste in pre-composed backgrounds as well as print the results in a form ready to be delivered to the customer.
- Image retrieval is automatically scheduled and the remote cameras with pictures will respond to the telephone within a three telephone ring sequence in order to have their pictures unloaded and printed. Empty cameras will not respond for six telephone rings.
- the information card 24 is inserted through slot 23 which causes a switch 44 to trip and operate with the gray camera 21 for taking a picture ofthe information on the front of the card.
- the switch lever 45 is illustrated in its switched position while in solid lines, the latch is shown in its relaxed position.
- a timer 46 is illustrated on the printed circuit board 18 which is operably connected to the various components in order to effect the sequences described above.
- a diffused glass 47 is paced over the strobe light 22 while a clear glass 48 is placed over the lense 50 ofthe color digital camera 20.
- FIG. 5 a block diagram ofthe components within the housing 17 is illustrated wherein the internal lighted gray camera 21 takes a picture ofthe information on the front side of card 24 after it has been inserted within the housing
- the camera 20 takes a picture ofthe baby in the basket or bassinet.
- the simultaneous action is initiated by depressing ofthe button 36 which not only actuates the cameras but causes the image taken by camera 20 to appear on the display 28.
- button 37 is depressed for erasing or cancelling the image so another picture can be displayed.
