[0028] An electronic device of the embodiments of the disclosure may include a casing, an infrared camera, and the infrared light source component mentioned in any abovementioned embodiment, wherein the infrared camera and the infrared light source component may be arranged on the casing and spaced apart from one another, and infrared light emitted by the infrared light source component may be configured to assist the infrared camera in iris recognition.

[0030] According to the electronic device and infrared light source component of the embodiments of the disclosure, the driving component drives the motion of at least one of the infrared light source or the lens to change the emergent direction of the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source after the infrared light is projected by the lens, thereby enabling the lens to guide the infrared light in the target direction. Therefore, a sufficiently strong infrared light may be projected to the eye of the object to be recognized even when emission power of the infrared light source is relatively low. On one hand, power consumption of the infrared light source is reduced; and on the other hand, energy of infrared beams of the infrared light source can be relatively concentrated, an illumination intensity can be relatively high, and a relatively good light supplementing effect can be achieved.
[0031]
[0032] The target direction may be the eye of the object to be recognized, and when the lens 20 guides the infrared light in the target direction, the infrared light may cover the eye of the object to be recognized.
[0033] Of course, the driving component 30 may also be configured to drive the motion of the lens 20, to change the emergent direction of the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source 10 after the infrared light is projected by the lens 20, thereby enabling the lens 20 to guide the infrared light in the target direction. In at least one alternative embodiment, the driving component 30 may also be configured to drive motions of the lens 20 and the infrared light source 10 to change the emergent direction of the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source 10 after the infrared light is projected by the lens 20, thereby enabling the lens 20 to guide the infrared light in the target direction.
[0034] It can be understood that irises of most people are relatively dark in color, and when acquiring the iris images, the infrared light source 10 is required to be used for supplementing light to obtain iris images with clear textures. However, many existing infrared light sources 10 adopt area light sources to extend coverage of infrared beams emitted by the infrared light sources 10, which causes relatively high power consumption of the infrared light sources 10 on one hand, and on the other hand, makes it impossible to obtain high-quality iris images due to relatively poor light supplementing effects caused by relatively low illumination intensities and unconcentrated energy of the infrared light sources 10. According to the infrared light source component 100 of the embodiments of the disclosure, the driving component 30 drives the motion of at least one of the infrared light source 10 or the lens 20, to change the emergent direction of the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source 10 after the infrared light is projected by the lens 20, thereby enabling the lens 20 to guide the infrared light in the target direction. Therefore, a sufficiently strong infrared light may be projected to the eye of the object to be recognized even when emission power of the infrared light source 10 is relatively low. On one hand, power consumption of the infrared light source 10 can be reduced; and on the other hand, energy of infrared beams of the infrared light source 10 can be relatively concentrated, the illumination intensity can be relatively high, and a relatively good light supplementing effect can be achieved.
[0035]
[0036] The infrared camera 204 and the infrared light source component 100 are arranged on the casing 202 and spaced apart from one another, and infrared light emitted by the infrared light source component 100 is configured to assist the infrared camera 205 in iris recognition.
[0037]
[0038] The infrared light source 10 is movably arranged in the casing 202. The infrared light source 10 is configured to emit the infrared light. Generally, a divergence angle of the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source 10 is no more than 5 degrees. For example, the divergence angle of the infrared light may be any one of 2 degrees, 3.5 degrees, 4 degrees, 4.5 degrees and 5 degrees. The infrared light source 10 may be an infrared Light Emitting Diode (LED).
[0039] The lens 20 may be arranged on the casing 202 and covers the infrared light source 10, and the lens 20 and the infrared light source 10 are spaced apart from one another, and may move relative to each other. The lens 20 is configured to guide the infrared light transmitted onto the lens 20 to outside of the infrared light source component 100. Specifically, the lens 20 is configured to guide the infrared light transmitted onto the lens 20 to an eye of an object to be recognized which is outside the casing 202. The lens 20 may be a convex lens, a concave lens, a combination of multiple convex lenses, a combination of multiple concave lenses and a combination of a convex lens and a concave lens, or is another optical lens (for example, a reflector and a prism) except a glass panel.
[0040] The driving component 30 includes a light source driving member 32, and the light source driving member 32 includes a light source driving stator 322 and a light source driving stator 324 extending from the light source driving stator 322. Specifically, the light source driving member 32 may be a rotating motor, the light source driving stator 322 may be a stator of the rotating motor, and the light source driving mover 324 may be a rotating shaft of the rotating motor. When the light source driving member 32 is activated and the light source driving mover 324 rotates, the infrared light source 10 is driven into rotation by the rotation of the light source driving mover 324 to change relative positions of the infrared light source 10 and the lens 20, thereby regulating an emergent direction of the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source 10 and enabling the infrared light emitted by the lens 20 to cover an eye of an object to be recognized.
[0041] Specifically, when the light source driving member 32 drives the infrared light source 10 to rotate, the lens 20 keeps covering the infrared light source 10, the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source 10 may all be projected to the lens 20, and moreover, the lens 20 may guide the infrared light transmitted onto the lens 20 to the object to be recognized and increases an illumination intensity of a unit area of the infrared light covering the eye of the object to be recognized.
[0042] According to the electronic device 200 and infrared light source component 100 of the embodiments of the disclosure, the driving component 30 drives the motion of the infrared light source 10, to change the emergent direction of the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source 10 after the infrared light is projected by the lens 20, thereby enabling the lens 20 to guide the infrared light in a target direction. Therefore, a sufficiently strong infrared light may be projected to the eye of the object to be recognized even when emission power of the infrared light source 10 is relatively low. On one hand, power consumption of the infrared light source 10 can be reduced; and on the other hand, energy of infrared beams of the infrared light source 10 can be relatively concentrated, the illumination intensity can be relatively high, and a relatively good light supplementing effect can be achieved.
[0043] The electronic device 200 and infrared light source component 100 of the embodiments of the disclosure also have the following beneficial effect: the divergence angle of the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source 10 is no more than 5 degrees, so that energy of the infrared light can be relatively concentrated, and the intensity of the infrared light irradiating the eye can be relatively high; and therefore, an iris texture in an iris image of the eye acquired by the electronic device 200 is more clear and obvious.

[0052] Specifically, after the face image is acquired by the infrared camera 204, the processor 206 processes the face image to recognize the position of the human eye. There are many recognition methods for recognizing the position of the human eye, for example, a template-matching-based method and a grayscale-projection-based method. In these methods, the template-matching-based method is to translate a reference template image point by point in a search region of the face image, traverse each position point in the search region, calculate, in the meantime, a related value of an image region of the position point in the search region and a reference template according to a certain similarity measurement principle, and then determine whether the position point is a position point where the human eye is positioned according to a magnitude of the related value. The grayscale-projection-based method is to project a grayscale image of the face by horizontal and vertical methods, make statistics on grayscale values in horizontal and vertical directions and functions thereof respectively, and find each change point and corresponding positions of the face and the human eye based on prior knowledge about the face and a geometric distribution of the human eye. A plane coordinate system X-Y is established on a field of view of the infrared camera 204, and another plane coordinate system X-Y having a certain mapping relationship with the plane coordinate system X-Y is established on the face image captured by the infrared camera 204. In the plane coordinate system X-Y, each pixel in the face image has a coordinate value, and thus may be mapped to the plane coordinate system X-Y to determine a corresponding position of each pixel in the field of view. Since the human eye may correspond to multiple pixels, when the position of the human eye on the face image is recognized, one pixel of multiple pixels may be selected as a pixel point of the position of the human eye. Then, a coordinate (x, y) of the pixel is determined in the plane coordinate system X-Y, and a coordinate (x, y) of the pixel in the plane coordinate system X-Y is determined according to the mapping relationship between the plane coordinate system X-Y and the plane coordinate system X-Y. The driving component 30 drives the motion of at least one of the infrared light source 10 or the lens 20 to change the emergent direction of the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source 10 after the infrared light is projected by the lens 20, thereby regulating the emergent direction of the infrared light. The position of the infrared light source 10 relative to the lens 20 also has a certain mapping relationship with each coordinate point in the plane coordinate system X-Y, and the mapping relationship is empirical data obtained by a number of experimental tests made early. Therefore, after the coordinate (x, y) of the pixel in the plane coordinate system X-Y is determined, the motion amount for at least one of the infrared light source 10 or the lens 20 may be determined according to a mapping relationship between the position of the infrared light source 10 relative to the lens 20 and the coordinate point. The driving component 30 drives the motion of at least one of the infrared light source 10 or the lens 20 according to the motion amount to change the emergent direction of the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source 10 after the infrared light is projected by the lens 20, thereby enabling the lens 20 to guide the infrared light in the target direction. The mapping relationship is a relationship between the coordinate system corresponding to the face image and a spatial position coordinate system of the face. Therefore, the electronic device 200 may acquire an iris image with a relatively clear texture.
