2. The Related Art
At present, with the rapid development of electronic technology, drawing software and graffiti software are widely applied in all kinds of electronic products. During using the drawing software or the graffiti software, users often select the appropriate color what they think for painting or sketching design actions. When there is no the desired color by the user in the default colors of software built-in color plate, the user will use the software built-in color plate to simulate real-life colors and customize a new color. However, for making the customized new color closer to the real-life colors, the user often needs to repeatedly try more colors from the software built-in color plate and repeatedly compare with the real-life colors. As a result, it need spend a lot of time to improve the simulation degree of the customized new color, but the customized new color still is hard to achieve the effect of the real-life color. Therefore, a method of capturing real-life colors is required.
An object of the present invention is to provide a method of capturing real-life colors. The method is adapted for being achieved by a pen camera. The pen camera includes a pen body and a camera module. The camera module has a circuit board mounted inside the pen body, a camera lens built in on the tip of the pen body and electrically connecting with the circuit board, a shutter button embedded in the outer sidewall of the pen body and electrically connected to the circuit board, and a power button embedded in the outer sidewall of the pen body to control work states of the camera module.
The method includes the following steps.
Step 1: actuate the power button to power on the camera module of the pen camera.
Step 2: point to an item directly with the camera lens of the pen camera, wherein the item has the desired real-life color by the user.
Step 3: actuate the shutter button to make the camera lens capture the desired real-life color of the item and then be saved as a photo in the camera module, wherein the photo taken by the camera module shows the desired real-life color of the item in the form of patches of color.
Step 4: transmit the photo from the pen camera into a target console.
Step 5: utilize an application processing software in the target console to extract the desired real-life color in the photo and then define the extracted color.
Step 6: rename the defined color and then be saved in the target console to make the defined color capable of being used in other painting or sketching operations of the target console by user.
As described above, the method of the present invention utilizes the pen camera to capture the desired real-life colors and transmit the photo into the target console, and then utilizes the application processing software in the target console to extract and define the desired real-life colors, so that make the desired real-life colors capable of being conveniently used in other paining or sketching operations by the user.
The present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art by reading the following description, with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
With reference to
The method of capturing real-life colors with the pen camera 100 includes the following steps.
Step 1: actuate the power button 24 to power on the camera module 20 of the pen camera 100.
Step 2: point to an item directly with the camera lens 22 of the pen camera 100, wherein the item has the desired real-life color by the user.
Step 3: actuate the shutter button 23 to make the camera lens 22 capture the desired real-life color of the item and then be saved as a photo in the camera module 20, wherein the photo taken by the camera module 20 shows the desired real-life color of the item in the form of patches of color.
Step 4: transmit the photo from the pen camera 100 into a target console.
Step 5: utilize an application processing software in the target console to extract the desired real-life color in the photo and then define the extracted color by conducting minor adjustments on luminosity and transparency.
Step 6: rename the defined color and then be saved in the target console to make the defined color capable of being used in other painting or sketching operations of the target console by user.
