Patent Application

A mirror or reflector is an object such that each narrow beam of light that falls on its surface is reflected in a single direction. This property, called specular reflection, distinguishes a mirror from objects that scatter light in many directions (such as flat-white paint), let it pass through them (such as a lens or prism), or absorb it. A mirror is commonly used for inspecting oneself, such as during personal grooming; hence the old-fashioned name looking glass. There have been no products available as original equipment or as an aftermarket to address this problem.
A selfie is a self-portrait digital photograph, typically taken with a digital camera or smartphone. Selfies are often shared on social media, via social networking services such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram. They are often casual in nature (or made to appear casual). “Selfie” typically refers to self-portrait photos taken with the camera held at arm's length, as opposed to those taken by using a self-timer or remote. A selfie, however, may include multiple subjects. As long as the photo is being taken by one of the subjects featured, it is considered a selfie. There have been no products available as original equipment or as an aftermarket to address this problem either.
There exists a need for a mirror-displayed camera device that is not being met by any known or disclosed device or system of present.
The smart mirror-camera device allows the user to view themselves on a big screen without needing to use electricity to power said screen. The smart mirror also has a couple visual effects for the subject of the photograph, using lights to simulate camera flashes or create spooky bottom lighting. The smart mirror camera including audio and visual and other capabilities can pair with an electronic device via Bluetooth to share photographs taken and give remote control over the settings. The body of the mirror and wooden frame are held by a bipedal stand in the back, which by a ball joint connection allows the mirror to be rotated and locked into place.
A smart mirror disclosed includes a mirror having a backside and a forward side and disposed adjacent a screen as a reflective layer for the mirror. The disclosure also includes motion sensors (MS) attached to the backside of the mirror looking forward and activated by a motion forward of the mirror. The disclosure additionally includes audio visual cameras (AV) attached to the backside of the mirror wherein each AV camera is activated by one of the MS. The disclosure further includes lights stationed on the backside of the mirror wherein each of the lights is activated by one of the MS.
