==MULTI-MODE IMAGE SENSOR ARCHITECTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18479765 titled 'MULTI-MODE IMAGE SENSOR ARCHITECTURE

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an image-sensing system with multiple sensing modules, each containing multiple optical sensors arranged in an array. These sensors can be switched on and off to generate analog sensing data, which is then converted into digital data by a shared analog-to-digital converter (ADC). A processor controls the multiple sensing modules.

* Multiple sensing modules with optical sensors arranged in an array

==Original Abstract Submitted==

An image-sensing system includes multiple sensing modules. Each of the multiple sensing modules includes multiple optical sensors arranged in an array. Each of the multiple sensors is configured to be switched on and off to generate analog sensing data. The image-sensing system also includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) shared by the multiple optical sensors configured to convert analog sensing data generated by the multiple optical sensors into digital data. The image-sensing system also includes a processor configured to control the multiple sensing modules.
