Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of loupes. More particularly, the invention relates to a method and apparatus for capturing the visual field of a jeweler's loupe and transmitting this capture to a remote user.
  • a loupe or a magnifying lens is a device frequently associated with jewelers, usually taking the form of a simple positive lens.
  • the magnifier is held close to the eye, while the object to be viewed is brought to the focal point of the lens.
  • the loupe In typical use to view gems the loupe is held almost against one eye and the gem is held with tweezers and inspected through the loupe. The viewer typically inspects the surface of the gem but far more emphasis is placed on looking inside the gem for imperfections that could affect the clarity grading.
  • a buyer will inspect the gems at the seller's premises since it is very costly to ship the gems to the buyer. Further, the seller may not agree to ship the gems at all necessitating local inspection. The buyer may therefore need to send an agent to visit the seller and inspect the gems giving rise to a situation where the remote buyer does not see the gems and must rely on the inspection of the local agent.
  • the agent may inspect hundreds or thousands of gems and the buyer might pay for the gems based on the agent' s examination only to find that there are imperfections that the agent missed.
  • a mechanism is therefore required that allows a remote buyer to view the gems as the local agent is inspecting them. Similarly, this mechanism is also required in other fields such as the inspection and purchase of fine art or antiques.
  • a further solution requires the local viewer to wear a head-mounted camera or camera mounted within a pair of glasses to capture the view of the gem as seen locally and then transmit this to a remote party. This approach is also not favored since the head-mounted camera does not capture the same image as seen through the loupe of the local viewer, which is held in front of the eye and not in front of the camera, and it is very difficult to line up the gem, loupe and camera to provide this view.
  • the present invention overcomes the deficiencies of the background art by providing a system and method for transmitting the magnified view seen by local viewer using a handheld loupe to a remote viewer.
  • the system and method provide for the addition of a camera to the loupe to capture the image seen by the local viewer as well as means for transmitting this captured image to a remote viewer.
