[Prior Art] Due to the rapid development of technology, video conferencing that allows multiple people to discuss at different locations simultaneously has become popular. In the prior art, a professional video conferencing device usually has a computer host that can be connected to the Internet, and the computer host is connected to a device related to the video conferencing device, such as a camera, a microphone, a screen, a speaker, and the like. Instant interactive discussions can be performed by the host computer processing, transmitting and receiving images and audio signals between users. However, such equipment is bulky and expensive, and is not affordable to the average person. In the prior art, there is also a small network camera for home use. This type of webcam uses a home computer and the Internet to achieve a video conference with another user terminal having the same configuration. Although the price of such a network camera is relatively low, the quality of the obtained image is poor because the lens and the image sensing element are both inferior. In addition, in the prior art, there is also a function of performing a video conference by using a mobile phone (for example, a 3G mobile phone). Although the convenience is high, the transmission of the image is not via the Internet, but is transmitted through the system of the carrier, thereby generating a high amount. Telecommunications transmission costs. In addition, the camera or photography function of the mobile phone is far from the 200816792 and the general digital camera. Therefore, the image obtained by using the mobile phone for video conferencing is also poor in quality. Although the digital camera itself has a higher resolution lens and a camera-specific processor for better quality images, there is currently no digital camera connection to the network for video conferencing design. It is necessary to provide *^ a camera with video function to solve the above problem. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a camera with a video function. Another object of the present invention is to provide a display, a microphone and a microphone. Eight cameras with video capabilities. To achieve the above object, the video camera of the present invention includes a capture device, a network transmission module, a processor, and a memory. The capture device is used to capture image signals, and the network transmission module is used to transmit image signals. The memory includes video software. The processor is electrically connected to the capture device, the network transmission module, and the memory. By executing the video software by the processor, the image signal can be output through the network transmission module. To achieve the above other object, the video camera of the present invention includes a display for displaying the image, a microphone for capturing an audio signal, and a racquet for playing an audio signal. The display, the microphone and the sigma are respectively electrically connected to the processor.

When the videoconferencing function is performed by the camera 1 having the video function, the video signal is transmitted through the network transmission module 4 by the processor 2 to execute the video software 3/. The memory 30 includes an operating system which is different from the operating system of the computer (e.g., Windows operating system). The operating system of the memory 30 is designed for the camera 1 having the video function, and is more suitable for the needs. The memory 30 can also store the file 32. For example, file 32 may be information captured by operating device 10 to record the progress of the video conference. In addition, the video camera 1 can upload or download a slot related to the conference discussion (such as a Powerpoint file) through the file sharing function, which facilitates the video conference. When the video camera 1 wants to transmit the slot 3 or receive the file, the video software 31 can be executed by the processor 20 to transfer the file 32 stored in the memory 30 to other users of the same communication group, or through The video software 31 is executed to download the slot provided by other users to the memory 30. 8 200816792 It can display the image signal taken by the capture device, or the image from other users. 5=Γ:Γ can be a small LCD display. Image signal output socket like. Therefore, the display 51 and the external display only need to be selected one by one: the camera 1 with the video function may not include the image signal 51. Only the display microphone 61 with the video camera 1 itself is used. In order to insert the microphone with the external microphone = select 1 cause: the microphone 61 and the sensory thinking, the video function phase may not include the microphone 61, and only the external microphone socket 62 is used to transmit the sound signal to the processor 2〇 Another / Bu Ke 5 over = wind camera 1 can also not include the microphone socket 62 ' and only use the phase of the wind _ take the sound signal.

Therefore, the private 63 and the external Weng only You must choose ^ (4) _ , 'the video function can also not include · 63, (4) Lee 2 horn output socket 64 will be transmitted by other users to ^ ^ part of the loudspeaker. In addition to 'video function The object can be number two, ^ outside the wheel outlet 64, Use only the built-in speaker illusion of the camera 1. 匕 声 η ° ° 唬 ° Please refer to Figure 2, which is a schematic diagram of two or more video devices for video conferencing. In the actual use of 9 200816792 for video conferencing, the network transmission module 40 of the camera 1 with video function must be connected to the network 99. The network 99 can be a wired network or a wireless network. Other uses of the same group In addition to the camera 1 having the video function of the present invention, the device can be connected to a conventional computer with a network camera 81, a portable computer 82 or a network video phone 83, etc. 2, for example, when a video conference is performed, the video and voice of the user of the video camera 1 are transmitted through the network 99 to other users who form the same group by the network 99. Similarly, other uses The speech of the person is also transmitted to the camera with video function through the network 99. In summary, the present invention displays its characteristics different from the conventional technology regardless of the purpose, means and function.
