1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a touch control image capturing and converting apparatus, and more particularly, to a touch control image capturing and converting apparatus which provides touch control operational options.
2. The Prior Arts
A typical image capturing and converting apparatus is mainly used for photographing a photo, negative, or picture to obtain a digital file for long term conservation. However, when an image is captured, the user may fail to find out the defects of the image at that time. For example, when the user use a digital camera to photograph an image, he may be satisfactory about the photographed image at that time. However, when he input the photographed image to the image capturing and converting apparatus, he may feel unsatisfactory about somewhere of the image, and has to give up the photographed image.
Further, when a conventional image capturing and converting apparatus is used to photograph an image, the operation is often affected by the environment. For example, the variation of the environmental illumination may cause a misjudgment of the quality of the photographed image, such that the viewing angle, reflection of light, or even definition of the photographed image may be adversely affected. Moreover, the captured image cannot be modified anymore.
Accordingly, a primary objective of the present invention is to provide a touch control image capturing and converting apparatus which provides touch control operational options.
The present invention provides a touch control image capturing and converting apparatus. The touch control image capturing and converting apparatus includes a housing, an insertion slot, a touch control screen, and a start switch. The housing defines a substantially enclosed space. The insertion slot is configured extending through the housing from one side of the housing to an opposite side of the housing, and is adapted for allowing an external picture clip to be inserted therein. The touch control screen is provided on an upper surface of the housing.
In operation, the start switch is started to turn on the touch control screen. The touch control screen provides a plurality of operational options. A digital file is obtained by photographing a picture secured to the picture clip with an image capturing lens. The obtained digital file can be adjusted by operating the operational options. Further, a way of displaying the digital file can also be adjusted by operating the operational options.
The present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art by reading the following detailed description of preferred embodiments thereof, with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the invention, and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification. The drawing illustrates embodiments of the invention and, together with the description, serves to explain the principles of the invention.
Further, the housing 11 may further contain a light source unit (not shown in the drawings). Therefore, the picture to be photographed can be displayed by illuminating with the light source unit. The touch control screen 14 is a touch control sensing unit which provides multiple touch control optional icons. In other words, a user can selectively adjust, select, modify, or arrange the captured digital file by touching the optional icons. For example, the user is allowed to manually adjust the size, angle, brightness, permutation and combination of the captured image(s), or introduce additional pattern into the image or remove a certain part from the image by touching the optional icons.
Furthermore, according to a further embodiment of the present invention, the touch control image capturing and converting apparatus 1 further includes a stylus (not shown in the drawings). The user can use the stylus instead of his fingers to touch the touch control screen 14. In such a way, the contamination to the touch control screen 14 by fingers can be avoided.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that a variety of modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention which is intended to be defined by the appended claims.
