1. A device for allowing a videoconference communication between a local user and at least one remote user comprising:
a screen capable of reproducing an image of the remote user for the local user,
an image sensor capable of picking up an image of the local user for viewing by the remote user,
a light source arranged to illuminate the eyes of the local user viewing the screen during a communication with the remote user, the light source being arranged with respect to the image sensor so that the image sensor can pick up an image of the local user having a reflection of the light source on a part at least of each eye of the local user, including the pupil, and
means of communication capable of transmitting said captured image to the remote user.
2. The device according to claim 1, in which the light source is arranged to illuminate both eyes of the local user in a substantially identical fashion.
3. The device according to claim 1, in which the light source is arranged in order not to dazzle the local user.
4. The device according to claim 1, in which the light source comprises a light unit having a length andor a light intensity dependent on the size of the screen.
5. The device according to claim 1, in which the light source encompasses the image sensor.
6. The device according to claim 1, in which the light intensity andor the arrangement of the light source are chosen so that said at least part of each eye of the local user on which the light source is reflected is less than the total surface of the eye.
7. The device according claim 1, in which the image sensor comprises an offset optic directed towards the eyes of the local user.
8. The device according to claim 1, the device comprising moreover means for controlling the light source, capable of taking into account a position of the local user.
9. The device according to claim 8, in which the control means of the light source are arranged so as to adapt the arrangement of the light source according to the position of the local user in relation to the image sensor, so that the image sensor can pick up an image of the local user having a reflection of the light source on at least a part of each eye of the local user, including the pupil.
10. The device according to claim 8, in which the control means of the light source are arranged so as to adapt the light intensity of the light source according to the position of the local user in relation to the image sensor.
11. A lighting device comprising:
an image sensor intended to be used in a device for allowing a videoconference communication between a local user and at least one remote user, said sensor being capable of picking up an image of the local user for viewing by the remote user,
a light source arranged in order to illuminate the eyes of the local user, the light source being arranged with respect to the image sensor so that the image sensor can pick up an image of the local user having a reflection of the light source on a part at least of each eye of the local user, including the pupil, said image captured in this way being intended for transmission to the remote user.
12. A method of communication by videoconference between a local user and at least one remote user, the local user being provided with a device comprising a screen capable of reproducing an image of the remote user for the local user, an image sensor capable of picking up an image of the local user for viewing by the remote user, and a light source in which:
light illuminates the eyes of the local user during a communication with the remote user using the light source of said device, so that the image sensor can pick up an image of the local user having a reflection of the light source on a part at least of each eye of the local user, including the pupil, then
the image captured in this way is transmitted to the remote user using the means of communication.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
