An Integrated System Combining Software and Hardware Together

Abstract

The present invention relates to a new integrated system combining hardware and software together. It helps solving some existing problems and makes matters easier for the users of such new technology. This new technology enables users to dispense of some tools, like selfie stick, altogether with other tools used all the time. This new technique is not limited to specific age bracket, as it suits men, women and children. It enables user to clearly see numbers and messages at sunlight, via a novel software operable with all languages of computer and mobile (Windows, Android, Mac, IOS and others), in addition to a hardware.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

Integrated System Combining Software and Hardware

BACKGROUND ART

Prior Art

The prior art technique related to the field of mobile phones, with all its types and languages, and computers, with all its types and languages, has not disclosed the novel concept, with its advantages and capabilities.

Problem with Prior Art

All current types of computers, mobile phones and tablets do not include a mirror as software and hardware. In addition, one cannot easily read words while being exposed to sunlight, neither write under direct light.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

Element of Novelty

The present invention relates to using the computer, the mobile phone and the tablet as a mirror (ordinary concave-convex mirror) or a multimodal caricatural mirror. This new software is operable with all languages of computer and mobile phones, as well as other current and future languages, in addition to IOS (Android, widows and other languages).

The new technique allows the user to take selfie photos, with full appearance for a group or person, due to the presence of a chip fixed on the camera lens, which may be moved manually, mechanically or electronically. This chip is fixed circularly or in the form of a moving belt from up to down along the mobile phone. The chip makes the camera lens similar to the peephole used for house doors, i.e. it can reveal remote objects, and it allows taking selfie photos while still standing away from the camera.

The new technique also allows reading messages at sunlight or bright light, since it converts the screen into black with letters and numbers taking different colors that can be easily seen, even at day light. One can easily read or write using this new technique, and one may also change the keyboard color as desired. One may also write messages and numbers at day light or at strong light at night.

One may make use of a space at one side of the mirror, or all sides or part of them to design various, fixed or moving, advertisements, and the advertisements may also be placed at the intervals between mirrors. Such advertisements may be controlled regarding being fixed or moving with respect to the hardware. Chips may be installed in the form of a circle. Such chips are similar to lenses and have the capability of zooming in and out mechanically, electronically or manually. Such chips may also be placed horizontally to rotate around a pivot at the center of the circle. It may rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise, so as to reach finally to the lens to be placed above the camera lens.

The chips on the circle are numbered so as any of the lenses fixed on the circle may be installed on the camera kens.

One or more of these circles supporting the chips may be located on the lens.

The chips may also be placed on a bar rotating before and behind the camera (like the manner of a cassette) and moving in a reciprocal manner. An external lens may be provided in the form of a peephole, which can be installed and removed easily from the mobile phone to take a selfie photo. That is, a peephole may be mounted on the camera of the mobile phone and other devices in the selfie mode to get a full image as if taken from a remote site. This peephole can be fixed on any front or back camera, and may also be used for other devices, if required.

The present invention combines software and hardware altogether to form an integrated system. This software is operable under all electronic languages, such as Windows, Android and other languages, besides other future languages IOS.

The present invention finds usage in computers, smart phones, conventional mobile phones, tablets. Using this software, together with the hardware, the screen of the mobile phone, the computer and the tablet may be converted into a concave, convex, ordinary or minimizing mirror. Further, mirrors with different geometric shapes may be designed, and more than one mirror can be installed on one screen to allow visualizing oneself from all sides as one image at the same time. One can take a selfie photo through print screen.

A convex mirror may be used combined with a concave mirror and an ordinary mirror at the same time, which can be easily controlled in a manner that suits individual requirements. One or more software mirrors may be used in one screen, while using mirrors capable of converting normal shapes into various caricatural shapes, and one may also take a photo at any time from the screen through print screen.

As per the caricatural mirror, the user can activate the related program so as to have the option of continuous change of the mirror, i.e. to have our photos in caricatural mode which varies continuously. Further, one mirror may be located at the screen (whether convex, concave, ordinary mirror or even a peephole-like mirror which gives a remote view of an object, like peephole used for house doors). For taking a selfie photo, one may use the peephole-like mirror, then make print screen to have a unique selfie photo revealing most of the individuals. That is, one may take a selfie photo, whether caricatural, if the caricatural mirror is used, or one may take a photo by pressing a side button for printing the screen as it is to get the photo as desired. One can take a selfie photo using a software button at any place of the screen so as to print the screen and get a marvelous selfie photo, or take a photo by the camera.

The caricatural mirror may be arbitrary changed to get an unexpected selfie photo, which allows the user to take funny instant selfie photos, or predetermined photos.

A mirror (whether convex, concave, ordinary, magnifying or minimizing) can be used, with different shapes (circular, oval, triangular, rhombus). More than one mirror may be used in different positions to allow a complete view of the face from all sides. The mirror may be configured into any geometric shape, with varying colors, whether in the frame or any other part of the mirror. Certain parts of the mirror, whether the frame, the upper or lower sides or any other part, may be specified for advertisement, as desired; these advertisements may be stationary or moving, and more than one advertisement may be displayed at the same time, with different colors.
