Abstract

A system for setting a background image of a display module includes a housing. The housing defines a receiving space, a first hole and a second hole. The first hole and the second hole are communicated with the receiving space. The system further includes the display module received in the first hole, a transparent cover received in the second hole, a thermo-sensitive ink layer coated on the transparent cover, a camera positioned beneath the transparent cover, and a controller received in the receiving space. The camera is configured for capturing an image of the thermo-sensitive ink layer. The controller is configured for taking the image captured by the camera as the background image of the display module.

Claims (17)

1. A system for setting a background image of a display module, the system comprising:

a housing defining a receiving space, a first hole and a second hole, the first hole and the second hole being communicated with the receiving space;

the display module received in the first hole;

a transparent cover received in the second hole;

a thermo-sensitive ink layer coated on the transparent cover;

a camera positioned beneath the transparent cover, the camera being configured for capturing an image of the thermo-sensitive ink layer; and

a controller received in the receiving space, the controller being configured for taking the image captured by the camera as the background image of the display module.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a switch for triggering on the camera.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the switch is positioned adjacent to the transparent cover.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transparent cover comprises a T-shaped portion and a circular portion, and the camera is positioned beneath the circular portion.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transparent cover is made up of glass.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the housing is made up of plastic.

7. A method for setting a background image of a display module, comprising:

providing a system as claimed in claim 1 ;

touch the transparent cover to change a color of the thermo-sensitive layer;

capturing an image of the thermo-sensitive layer by using the camera; and

taking the captured image as the background image of the display module by using the controller.
