Patent Application
20070081095
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is related to a PSP video conversion output technology. Particularly, the technology can capture video directly on PSP LCD screen or uses a reflective lens to reflect the video on PSP LCD screen to be captured by a camera (CMOS, CCD module). In such way, the video can be displayed on large TV or computer screen. The device not only provides protection for eyes, but also enhances entertaining and reality effect for gaming. In addition, the invention has an input to receive audio output signal from a PSP console through an audio line.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Currently, the popular PSP (SONY portable handheld gaming machine) is designed to be light, thin, short and small with a LCD screen. Most PSP users are teenagers or even young children. Because the LCD screen is not large and bright enough, and the words on the screen are also small, it is easy for eyes to get tired or lose vision. Therefore, how to effectively improve the situation is the goal the gaming industry is trying to achieve.
Further, because today's video gaming consoles have multiple functions as well as stereo sound effect and high quality picture, teenaged or young players can easily experience the virtual reality through special video and audio effects, which certainly add fun and attractiveness to the game. However, the LCD screen on PSP seems to be insufficient to support the special video and audio effects. Further improvement is expected on its structure.
The inventor found the LCD screen on handheld gaming machine is not desirable and its small size lacks entertaining effect during gaming process. The small screen also tends to cause fatigue and vision reduction for eyes. The inventor with many years of professional knowledge and experience actively sought solutions and finally developed a PSP video conversion device that can simply capture video from PSP screen to large screen. Without a doubt, the invention will benefit our children for keeping good vision.
The primary objective for the invention is to provide a PSP video conversion device, which uses a video capture technology device (CMOS, CCD module) of a cone-shaped that attached to the PSP console and uses a build-in camera to directly capture video on PSP LCD screen; or uses a video capture technology device (CMOS, CCD module) of a cone-shaped that attached to the PSP console and uses a build-in reflective lens to reflect the video on PSP console LCD screen and uses a build-in camera to capture the reflecting video and convert and output the reflecting video to a large video display (TV or computer screen) with improved picture resolution. Besides, an audio line is used to capture audio signal at the earphone port on PSP console. A control circuit is also used to integrate and output a set of video and audio signals through an AV cable to a large display. In such way, the vision of young game players can be protected while enhanced reality and entertaining effect is provided.
To further explain the objectives, functions and features for the invention, a preferred embodiment is provided with illustration as follows:
Please refer to
The above-mentioned camera (12) can use CMOS module or CCD module.
The above-mentioned control circuit (15) can be programmable IC, possessing the function to convert and output the captured video from PSP console (2) and integrate the video signal with the audio signal captured from the earphone port on PSP console (2) into a synthesized signal acceptable by a large display and output the synthesized signal to a large display (like TV, computer screen).
The above-mentioned case (10) (as showing in
The above is a brief description about the components and their functions for the present invention. The following will describe the operational principle and expected performance for the invention:
In application, the PSP video conversion device (1) is to combine with PSP console first through the fixing board (16) and the snap board (17). The bottom of the device covers the entire PSP screen and is secured through screws. Thus, the video on PSP LCD screen can be captured by the camera (12) (as showing in
In summary, the PSP video conversion device possesses advanced functions and practical value. After extensive research, no such technology is found to be published before. The invention meets the requirements for a patent application based on a new type of product.
