Peel-off camera lens cover for portable electronic devices and televisions
Technical field of the invention
The present invention relates to devices and systems for privacy protection in relation to the camera lens of portable electronic devices and televisions.
Background of the invention
Mobile devices, particularly smartphones and tablets, can be activated in one's pocket, purse or briefcase and, generally, at inopportune moments. Many laptop computers have a small camera lens integrated into the frame of the display. The camera lens may then be easily used by the user to take a picture of himself or herself, or to transmit still or video images while sitting in front of the computer. The ease of use of such a camera lens can be problematic. A user may not realize that the camera is on and may inadvertently step photographs or transmit still or video images over a network to another location without realizing it. Technology also exists where an individual or entity can remotely and without a user's authorization activate a user's mobile device or laptop computer and utilize the camera.
Summary of the invention
It is an object of the present invention to provide a device and system for privacy protection in relation to the camera lens of portable electronic devices and televisions.
A first aspect relates to a peel-off camera lens cover for portable electronic devices and televisions, comprising a flexible material sheet having a back face and a front face; wherein the back face comprises a first, second, and third area; wherein the first area covers the center area of the back face, and wherein the second and third areas cover the side edges of the back face; wherein the second area is coated with a non-destructive peelable adhesive coating, and wherein the first and third areas are substantially free, preferably completely free, from said non-destructive peelable adhesive coating.
The adhesive coating applied on the back face of the flexible material sheet may be chosen from a variety of adhesives, known in the art. When the adhesive is of high strength or a permanent nature, peeling the flexible material sheet off the surface on
DK 2017 00333 A1 which it is applied usually results in some damage to the surface on which it is applied. On the other hand, when the adhesive coating is of a weak, non-destructive or temporary adhesion nature, as the flexible material sheet is peeled off, the adhesive remains on the back face of the flexible material sheet and the application surface suffers no damage.
The third area serves as a grasp strip for use in the peel-off operation.
A second aspect relates to a peel-off camera lens cover for portable electronic devices and televisions, comprising a flexible material sheet having a back face and a front face; wherein the back face comprises a first, second, and third area; wherein the first area covers the center area of the back face, and wherein the second and third areas cover the side edges of the back face; wherein the second area is coated with a peelable adhesive coating, and wherein the first and third areas are substantially free, preferably completely free, from said peelable adhesive coating.
As used herein, the term “portable electronic device” may include any type of wireless communication devices, such as, e.g., mobile telephone, tablet, portable computer, gaming device, media player, smartphone, personal organizer, and the like.
In one or more embodiments, the flexible material sheet further comprises a cut-out extending from the back face and to the front face, and wherein the cut-out is positioned within the first area. As used herein, the term “cut-out” refers to a hole, slit, or other void in the flexible material sheet. This configuration allows for units (such as proximity sensors, loudspeakers, and the like) in close relation to camera lens to continue to function.
In one or more embodiments, the cut-out is of a size suitable for delimiting a loudspeaker and/or a proximity sensor of a portable device.
DK 2017 00333 A1
In one or more embodiments, at least a part of the peel-off camera lens cover corresponding to the first area, is blurred or coloured, preferably dark colours, such as black. More specifically the part that is configured to cover the camera lens.
In one or more embodiments, at least a part of the peel-off camera lens cover corresponding to the first area, is opaque. More specifically the part that is configured to cover the camera lens.
In one or more embodiments, the second area completely delimits the first area. To reduce the risk that the peel-off camera lens cover is accidentally peeled off when e.g. a mobile phone is positioned in a user's pocket, the third area may just cover a single corner of the back face.
In one or more embodiments, a third area is bordering the first area, and at the same time being delimited by a second area. This configuration reduces the risk that the peel-off camera lens cover is accidentally peeled off when e.g. a mobile phone is positioned in a user's pocket.
In one or more embodiments, a third area runs from corner to corner along the length of the flexible material sheet.
A second aspect relates to a plurality of peel-off camera lens covers according to the present invention, wherein the peel-off camera lens covers are disposed one on top of another such that a back face of a first peel-off camera lens cover is adhered to a front face of a second peel-off camera lens cover, and wherein the adherence is provided by the peelable adhesive coating on the second area of said back face.
The plurality of peel-off camera lens covers may be provided in a dispenser that can be adhered to the back face of a mobile phone, or the dispenser may be configured as an integrated part of a mobile phone cover.
As used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms a, an, and the include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Ranges may be expressed herein as from about or approximately one particular
DK 2017 00333 A1 value and/or to about or approximately another particular value. When such a range is expressed, another embodiment includes from the one particular value and/or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent about, it will be understood that the particular value forms another embodiment.
It should be noted that embodiments and features described in the context of one of the aspects of the present invention also apply to the other aspects of the invention.

Detailed description of the invention
Figure 1 shows a first group of peel-off camera lens covers in accordance with various embodiments of the invention. The peel-off camera lens covers each comprises a flexible material sheet having a back face and a front face. The back
DK 2017 00333 A1 face comprises a first 10, second 20, and third 30 area. The first area 10 covers the center area of the back face, and the second 20 and third 30 areas cover the side edges of the back face. The second area 20 is coated with a non-destructive peelable adhesive coating, and the first 10 and third 30 areas are substantially free from said non-destructive peelable adhesive coating. The common denominator of the first group of peel-off camera lens covers is that the second area 20 completely delimits the first area 10. The peel-off camera lens cover A1 has a third area 30 that spans the back face from one corner to another. In this way, a part of the flexible material sheet corresponding to the third area 30 is left unadhered to the surface onto which it is applied. This part serves as a grasp strip for use in the peel-off operation. To reduce the risk that the peel-off camera lens cover is accidentally peeled off when e.g. a mobile phone is positioned in a user's pocket, the third area may just cover a single corner of the back face as seen in B1.
The flexible material sheet may further comprise a cut-out 40 extending from the back face and to the front face, and wherein the cut-out 40 is positioned within the first area 10 (A2, and B2). This configuration allows for units in close relation to camera lens to continue to function, such as proximity sensors, loudspeakers, and the like.
Figure 2 shows a second group of peel-off camera lens covers in accordance with various embodiments of the invention. The common denominator of the second group of peel-off camera lens covers is that a third area 30 is bordering the first area 10, and at the same time delimited by the second area 20. This configuration reduces the risk that the peel-off camera lens cover is accidentally peeled off when e.g. a mobile phone is positioned in a user's pocket. C1 has only one third area 30, while D1 has two third areas. C2 and D2 has a cut-out 40 is positioned within the first area 10. E1 is a hybrid of A1 and C1, while E2 is the cut-out version.
Figure 3 shows an A2 version of a peel-off camera lens cover, positioned on the front of a mobile phone. The A2 version of a peel-off camera lens cover is shown transparent to show the camera lens in relation thereto. However, at least a part of the peel-off camera lens cover corresponding to the first area 10, will be blurred or coloured, more specifically the part that covers the camera lens, as shown in Figure
4. The part covering the proximity sensor 130 is transparent. A cut-out could also
DK 2017 00333 A1 secure that the proximity sensor remains operative. A cut-out 40 extends from the back face and to the front face, and is positioned within the first area. The cut-out 40 is of a size suitable for delimiting a loudspeaker 110 of the mobile phone.
Figure 5 shows a third group of peel-off camera lens covers in accordance with various embodiments of the invention. The common denominator of the third group of peel-off camera lens covers (F1 and F2) is that a third area 30 runs from corner to corner along the length of the flexible material sheet.
Figure 6 shows an F2 version of a peel-off camera lens cover, positioned on the front of a mobile phone.
