Description

Helmet with camera

The present invention relates to a helmet provided with a camera, and more particularly, to a camera module provided to the chin portion of the helmet body in the helmet and the wireless module provided to be detachable to the rear head portion of the helmet body, It consists of a control unit for inputting the operation signal for the operation of the camera module and the wireless module and a wearing detection unit for detecting the wearing state of the helmet, so as to minimize the camera shake during the acquisition process to ensure a stable image In addition, the camera module and the wireless module can be easily maintained by the removal of the cabinet, and the purpose of the camera to be driven only when the helmet is mounted to minimize unnecessary shooting and power consumption.

Another object of the present invention is to include a GPS receiver to receive a GPS signal to the camera module to detect a change in speed according to the movement of the helmet body, the GPS signal received through the GPS receiver to reduce the speed of the helmet body It is equipped with a brake light that can be checked on the rear side of the helmet body when it is detected so that the vehicle on the motorcycle after wearing the helmet can be easily recognized through the brake light on which the vehicle behind the vehicle is decelerated when the motorcycle on which the user is riding is decelerated. It is for the purpose of making it possible.

In general, helmets are used to protect the head from external impacts during driving or work and in special mission situations.

The helmet as described above is provided with a helmet body having a head-receiving portion and a windshield made of a light-transmitting body provided to be opened and closed up and down in an open face portion of the helmet body.

Wearing a helmet configured as described above and when an impact is applied to the outside during driving or work, the helmet body buffers the impact to minimize the impact on the head.

In particular, helmets are also used to secure safety during special mission activities, and are typically used for various purposes such as preventing the injuries of marine police who crack down on illegal fishing and preventing injuries during firefighting and security activities.

In addition, the helmets used for special mission activities are other than the purpose of securing safety. For the helmets used by the marine police, a camera equipped with a camera module is provided on the head of the helmet body to secure the image of the illegal fishing crackdown process. Helmet has been developed and used, and among the sports enthusiasts of ordinary people, a detachable sports camera is separately mounted on the upper part of the helmet and used for traveling and shooting sports activities.

However, a helmet equipped with a conventional camera and a helmet that can be separately mounted on the upper portion of the helmet are provided in the head portion where the camera module is located at a distance from the neck which is the rotation point of the head, so that the camera module is excessively moved as the head moves. There was a problem that a stable image is not secured by moving.

In addition, the helmet provided with a conventional camera has a problem that the camera provided in the head portion interferes during the opening and closing of the windshield, the visual field of the camera module is interfered by the windshield, the clear image is not secured.

In addition, a helmet equipped with a conventional camera requires the wearer to manually operate the driving of the camera and the camera and the operating system are driven even when the helmet is not worn to collect the unnecessary images, thereby consuming the battery unnecessarily. Has the problem.

In addition, the helmet equipped with a conventional camera has a lot of data to check as the amount of data is increased when a lot of unnecessary images are taken in addition to the task and operation performance process in the process of confirming a special purpose debt image that requires security If you edit the video to reduce the time required, and the verification time has a problem that causes distrust due to the editing of the security certificate data.

In addition, after wearing a helmet equipped with a conventional camera, the rear vehicle does not easily recognize this when decelerating while driving and has a problem in that a collision accident frequently increases.

Accordingly, the present invention has a problem that the camera module is excessively moved according to the movement of the head of the conventional camera is not secured to ensure a stable image, the camera module provided in the head portion in the opening and closing process of the windshield is interfered, Problems in which the clear view of the camera module is prevented due to the windshield interfered with the windshield, the problem of the camera driving operation by hand, and the camera and system are accidentally driven in the process of contacting the helmet to capture unnecessary images This is to solve the problem that the battery is excessively consumed and the problem that the rear vehicle is not easily recognized when the vehicle decelerates while driving by wearing a helmet and the vehicle is not easily aware of this problem.

That is, the present invention is a camera module that is provided in the helmet to the chin portion of the helmet body is detachably mounted and a wireless module that is detachably attached to the back of the head of the helmet body, the operation signal for the operation of the camera module and the wireless module It is composed of a wearing detection unit for detecting the operation unit and helmet wearing state to input.

In addition, the present invention is provided with a GPS receiver to receive a GPS signal to the camera module to detect a change in speed according to the movement of the helmet body, the GPS signal received through the GPS receiver detects the speed of the helmet body When equipped with a brake light that can be checked on the rear side of the helmet body.

Therefore, in the present invention, since the camera module is provided at the chin of the helmet body, the shaking is minimized during the shooting process to ensure a stable image, and the interference between the opening and closing of the windshield is not caused, and the camera module and the wireless module can be detachable. It is provided so that the maintenance is easy.

In addition, the wearing detection unit for detecting the wearing state of the helmet is provided to maintain the sleep mode when the helmet is not wearing, when wearing the helmet, the wearing detection unit detects the wearing of the helmet to operate the camera and the entire system By configuring it to be possible, unnecessary power consumption is reduced, and the receivable image is checked in a short time, and in the case of the receivable image that requires security, the retrieval and operation of the receivable image is performed only during work and operation so that unnecessary images are taken out of the purpose In this way, the recording data can be optimized.

In addition, wearing the present invention when the motorcycle is detected when the motorcycle speed is detected according to the GPS signal received through the GPS receiver, the brake light provided on the back of the helmet is turned on to recognize the vehicle approaching from the rear Collisions are prevented.
