Background technique

With the advent of the media age, mobile phones, as a convenient communication and communication medium, have become an essential part of people's life, work and study. For example, in terms of camera and editing, the mobile phone can not only take clear photos or record clear videos, but also can process photos or videos through various BPPs in the mobile phone to make beautiful albums or short videos, and then The phone uploads directly to the network or the cloud, and the whole process is simple and convenient.

However, in addition to the expansion of the mobile phone's own functions and the improvement of the user experience, the mobile phone will also develop in a lighter and thinner direction. For users, lighter and thinner mobile phones will be convenient to use without being bulky. Lighter and thinner will also become an important indicator of survival of the fittest. Because the size of the mobile phone camera is limited to the body of the mobile phone and cannot be extended well, although the pixel of the mobile phone camera is gradually increased, it still cannot reach the shooting effect achieved by professional cameras (such as SLR lenses), especially The effect of macro shooting or wide-angle shooting is difficult to achieve in mobile phones.

In order to make the mobile phone have the shooting effect of a professional camera, a common practice is to connect a professional camera to the mobile phone to obtain a higher-quality image through the external professional camera. For example, the QX series external lens produced by Sony Corporation can be communicatively connected with the mobile phone through WIFI, not only can control the shooting of the external lens through the mobile phone, but also directly store the image taken by the external lens through the mobile phone. In order to install the external lens on a mobile phone, a professional camera is usually clamped to the mobile phone through a mobile phone clip, so that the mobile phone has professional photography capabilities.

However, due to the small clamping force of the mobile phone clip and the heavy weight of the professional camera, the mobile phone clip cannot reliably install the professional camera on the mobile phone. Therefore, when shooting, users have to use One hand supports the professional camera to prevent the professional camera from tilting or falling off, and the other hand operates the mobile phone, which brings great inconvenience and trouble to the user's shooting.

In addition, the mobile phone clip can only be clamped in the lateral direction of the mobile phone, resulting in that the mobile phone must be placed horizontally to ensure that the professional camera is held on the mobile phone, so that the mobile phone can only perform a horizontal shot to obtain a horizontal image, but not a vertical portrait. Shooting to obtain a vertical image brings great restrictions to the user's use.

In the present invention, the term "a" in the claims and the description should be understood as "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of one element may be one, and in other embodiments, the number of the element Can be multiple. Unless it is explicitly indicated in the disclosure of the present invention that the number of the element is only one, the term "a" cannot be understood as being unique or singular, and the term "a" cannot be understood as a limitation on the number.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6 of the accompanying drawings, an auxiliary camera device according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. The auxiliary camera device 1 is adapted to a mobile electronic device, such as a mobile phone 500, for the mobile phone 500 to be detachably mounted on the auxiliary camera device 1, so that a user can obtain a better result with the auxiliary camera device 1. Shooting experience and effects. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the auxiliary camera device 1 includes a casing 10 and a mounting portion 20. The casing 10 has an adapting chamber 11 for receiving the mobile phone 500. The adapting room 11 has a window 12 located on a first side 101 of the casing 10, and when the mobile phone 500 is placed outside the adapting room 11 of the casing 10 with a display screen, The user can view the display screen of the mobile phone 500 through the window 12. The mounting portion 20 is integrally disposed on a second side 102 of the casing 10, wherein the mounting portion 20 is adapted to be connected to an external lens 600 to fit the external lens 600. In the auxiliary camera device 1, the external lens 600 is externally connected to the mobile phone 500, so that the mobile phone 500 can use the external lens 600 to shoot and obtain higher-quality images.

It is worth mentioning that the mobile electronic device may be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or other electronic devices with a shooting function, and the mobile phone 500 cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the first side 101 and the second side 102 of the casing 10 are opposite sides, that is, if the first side 101 is regarded as the When the front side of the casing 10, the second side 102 is regarded as the rear side of the casing 10. In other words, when the first side 101 of the casing 10 faces a user for the user to directly view or operate the mobile phone 500 through the window 12, the second side 102 of the casing 10 Then, the user is turned away from the user so that the external lens 600 mounted on the mounting portion 20 can obtain a wider shooting angle.

It is worth mentioning that although the auxiliary camera device 1 is used to connect the external lens 600 to the mobile phone 500 as an example in FIGS. 1 to 6 and the following description of the drawings, the auxiliary camera of the present invention is described.
