Abstract: A method of detecting defects on face automatically is provided and applied to a smart mirror apparatus (1) having an image capture module (12), a mirror (16) and a processing unit (10). The method is to capture a facial image (30) of a user (2) when the user (2) stands in front of the mirror (16), generate a smooth image according to the facial image (30) by the processing unit (10), generate a surface variation image (70) according to a difference between the two images, recognize and record defect in the surface variation image (70). Therefore, the defect position in the face can be automatically and accurately detected.

Abstract: A method for controlling alarm-clock of an smart mirror (1) embedded with an image capturing unit (12) includes following steps: activating an alarm-clock program (132) of the smart mirror (1); determining continually whether a pre-set alarm-time arrives; emitting an alarm-sound when the alarm-time arrives; determining whether the status of the image capturing unit (12) matches with a pre-set alarm-relieving condition when the alarm-time arrives; and, stopping the alarm-sound whenever the status of the image capturing unit (12) matches with the alarm-relieving condition. The smart mirror (1) is arranged with a lens hood (17, 18) for shading the image capturing unit (12), and the status of the image capturing unit (12) varies due to the movement of the lens hood (17, 18).

Abstract: A method for detecting and photographing face image used by a mirror device includes: real-time detecting a face image of a user through an image capturing module; determining whether a distance between the face image and the mirror device is within a threshold; displaying an indication of moving forwards/backwards if the distance exceeds the threshold; determining whether a contour of the face image exceeds default boundary values of the mirror device; displaying an indication for moving leftwards, rightwards, upwards, or downwards if the contour exceeds any of the default boundary values; determining whether an angle of the face image with respect to the mirror device is oblique; displaying an indication of adjusting the angle if the face image is oblique; taking a photo of the face image automatically whenever the distance is within the threshold, the contour is within each default boundary and the angle is not oblique.
