    PURPOSE: A video chatting system is provided to allow users to communicate with each other, with their eyes meeting each other. CONSTITUTION: A video chatting system provides images to allow users to communicate with each other, their eyes meeting each other. The system includes the first and second monitors(210,220), a mirror(400), and a video camera(300). The first and second monitors output images according to a dual display function of the system. The mirror is set at the side of the second monitor and reflects the image displayed on the monitor to allow a user to see the image. The video camera takes a picture of the face image of the user, reflected by the mirror, to provide the face image to the system. The video camera is set at one side of the second monitor where the level of the user's vision accords with the focal axis of the camera.

    Picture chatting system {Picture chatting system}
    [6] The present invention relates to a video chat system, and more particularly, to a system that allows a user to chat while staring at a gaze between a chatter during a video chat and a video conference using a personal personal computer or the like.
    [7] Recently, due to the development of technology, people who are separated from each other by using a video camera or a camcorder to take a face image between the dialogue, and provides the face image to the output device screen such as a monitor by using the dialog There is a system for chatting while looking at the other person's face.
    [8] However, since the image camera in the above system captures and provides a face image of the camera staring at the monitor provided with the face image of the receiver side, the dialogue is performed while gazing at the eyes of the receiver side. You will have a difficult problem.
    [9] In order to solve the above problems, Korean Utility Model Application No. 1990-20102 (Publication 1992-14346) relates to an apparatus for matching both eyes to each other in a video transmission and reception terminal.
    [10] The image provided to the monitor in the device that the eyes of the both eyes in the image transmission and reception terminal is inclined at a predetermined angle so as to have a predetermined angle, the image reflected through the mirror is a user By installing the camera behind the half mirror for the naked eye to see, the user's gaze position on the receiving side and the focal axis of the camera are located on the same line, so that the dialogue gazes at each other's gaze and makes a conversation. Will be done.
    [11] However, the apparatus for fitting the eye image as described above, the mirror of the screen size to reflect the screen output of the monitor displaying the image transmitted from the receiving terminal, and the half mirror for re-reflecting the image reflected by the mirror There is a problem in that a space limitation occurs in installing a monitor in a device that fits the eye image, such as additionally configuring a mirror and a half mirror in front of the back monitor.
    [12] In addition, by installing a separate auxiliary device for fixing the mirror and the half mirror under the monitor of the device to match the eye image, it is inconvenient to match the user's gaze position (sitting eye position) and the focal axis of the camera Have
    [13] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has an object to enable the conversation while looking at each other gaze in the communication between the dialogue, such as video chat and video conferencing.
    [1] 1 is a block diagram of an image chat system according to the present invention.
    [2] 2 is a reference diagram showing a state in which the image chat system is installed in accordance with the present invention.

    [14] A video chat system for providing an image for conversing gaze at each other's eyes during video chatting and video conferencing as a means for achieving the present invention, comprising: outputting an image provided by a dual display function of the system main body, respectively; It is installed on the side of the first and second monitors, the second monitor, a mirror that reflects the screen of the monitor, and is provided to the user's naked eye, and photographs a face image of the user reflected by the mirror and receives the image. Characterized in that it comprises a video camera provided to the system main body.
    [15] The image camera may be installed on one side of the monitor where a gaze position gazed by a user and a focal axis of the camera coincide with each other.
    [16] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
    [17] 1 is a block diagram of an image chat system according to the present invention.
    [18] 2 is a reference diagram showing a state in which the image chat system according to the present invention is installed.
    [19] As shown in FIG. 1, components for forming an image chat system include a system main body 100, a monitor 200, an image camera 300, and a mirror 400, and the mirror 400 as necessary. The case 500 for fixing the additional configuration can be installed.
    [20] The system main body 100 supports a dual display function, and is configured to enable data communication by a predetermined communication network such as a modem.
    [21] In addition, the monitor 200 includes a first monitor 210 and a second monitor 220. The first monitor 210 is a monitor for outputting various operating systems and the like output from the system main body 100, the second monitor 220 is an auxiliary monitor, the image camera (one side of the second monitor 220) When installing 300, the other side of the mirror 400 is installed to be inclined at a predetermined angle, the installation position of the image camera 300 and the mirror 400 can be changed according to the user.
    [22] The image camera 300 captures the gaze staring at the face image of the user at a relatively horizontal position in consideration of the error caused by the dialogue line of sight position and the camera's focal axis due to the user's height difference (or gaze position). It is preferable to construct.
    [23] In addition, the dual display function of the main body of the computer 100 is set to output in a normal scanning method suitable for the resolution of the first monitor 210, the second monitor 220 is reflected by the mirror 400 Since the image is provided to the user, it is set to output in reverse scanning.
    [24] Therefore, the image is scanned in reverse by being output to the second monitor 220, and is reflected while being reflected through the mirror 400 to provide a normal image to the user.
    [25] Since the image reflected by the mirror 400 is reflected through the mirror 300 of the receiver side, the image camera 300 can see a normal image.
    [26] As shown in FIG. 2, the screen outputted to the second monitor 220 by the dual display function of the system main body 100 may be gazed at the receiver's eye by the mirror 400, and the reception may be performed. Since the side talker is configured to view the image photographed by the user's image camera 300 on the screen of the second monitor 220, the talker can talk while looking at each other's gaze.
    [27] In addition, when using the computer table in the installation of the second monitor 220 is used by attaching the mirror 300 installed on one side to the wall surface, or by additionally configured a separate case 500 bent vertically It is preferable to install and use the mirror 300 on one side and to have a predetermined angle so that the screen of the second monitor 220 is reflected through the mirror 300.
    [28] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the present invention is not limited to the scope of the present invention as claimed in the claims, and the general knowledge in the field of the present invention belongs. Of course, any person having a variety of modifications can be made, and such changes are within the scope of the claims.
    [29] As described above, the present invention has the effect of having a conversation while gazing at each other's gaze between the video chat and video conferencing.
