Camera Controlled by Using a Smart Phone and Control System Thereof

摘要

A camera controlled by using a smart phone is provided. The camera includes a camera module, an encoder, and a wireless network module. The camera module is used for capturing an image. The encoder is coupled to the camera module, and is used for encoding the image according to a video coding scheme to generate an encoded image. The wireless network module is coupled to the encoder and wirelessly communicating with the smart phone directly, and is used for transmitting the encoded image to the smart phone to be displayed on the smart phone. The effect of low latency and low power consumption can be achieved during image transmission by using the video coding scheme, such that the battery life of the camera can be improved. By using the smart phone to control the camera, the size of the camera can be reduced. Therefore, the camera becomes more compact to be hung on glasses or hats to enable photography features for live records, and real-time images can be uploaded to cloud servers.
