ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING CAPTURING FUNCTION IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17854807 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING CAPTURING FUNCTION IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device that includes a camera module, display, and processor. The device is capable of detecting face recognition information based on subjects in an image captured with a gaze recognition function activated.
- The device can detect multiple pieces of face recognition information mapped with gaze calibration information.
- It can determine the score information of the detected face recognition information based on depth and body information.
- The device identifies the capturer by determining the subject with the highest score among the detected face recognition information.
- If the capturer gazes at a capture button, the device performs an image capturing function and displays the captured image on the display.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be used in smartphones or digital cameras to improve the accuracy and efficiency of capturing images.
- It can be applied in security systems for access control or surveillance purposes, where capturing images of authorized individuals is important.
Problems Solved
- The technology solves the problem of accurately identifying the capturer in a group photo or selfie scenario.
- It addresses the challenge of capturing images at the right moment when the capturer is ready and looking at the camera.
Benefits
- The device provides a convenient and automated way to capture images by detecting the capturer's gaze.
- It eliminates the need for timers or remote controls, making it easier to capture group photos or selfies.
- The technology improves the overall image capturing experience by ensuring the capturer's presence and attention.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a camera module, a display, and a processor configured to detect at least one piece of face recognition information based on a plurality of subjects included in an image received in a capture mode where a gaze recognition capturing function is activated, upon identifying a presence of at least two pieces of face recognition information mapped with gaze calibration information among the at least one piece of face recognition information, detect score information about the at least two pieces of face recognition information based on depth information and body information, determine that a subject corresponding to face recognition information including highest score information among the at least two pieces of face recognition information is a capturer, and if the determined capturer gazes at a capture button, perform a first image capturing function of displaying a captured image on the display.
