CAMERA WITH PLURAL SELECTIVE FIELDS OF VIEW - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17875946 titled 'CAMERA WITH PLURAL SELECTIVE FIELDS OF VIEW
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information handling system camera that uses telephoto optics and a moveable mirror to improve the visual images captured of participants at different distances from the camera. The camera includes a first camera with a narrow field of view lens and a second camera with a wide field of view lens. The moveable mirror is used to capture portions of the wide field of view of the second camera lens and combine them with the visual images captured by the first camera.
- The camera uses telephoto optics and a moveable mirror to capture improved visual images of participants at various distances.
- The moveable mirror is interfaced with a first camera with a narrow field of view lens.
- The moveable mirror captures portions of the wide field of view of a second camera lens.
- The captured visual images are combined to create a videoconference presentation with visual images of both axes, such as a split screen of different videoconference participants.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Videoconferencing systems: The improved visual images captured by the camera can enhance the quality of videoconferencing sessions, allowing participants at different distances to be captured with clarity.
- Telemedicine: The camera can be used in telemedicine applications where clear visual images of patients are required for remote diagnosis and treatment.
- Surveillance systems: The camera's ability to capture clear visual images of participants at various distances can be beneficial in surveillance systems for identifying individuals and monitoring activities.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Limited field of view: The narrow field of view lens of the first camera may not capture participants at different distances effectively. The moveable mirror and wide field of view lens of the second camera solve this problem by capturing a wider range of visual images.
- Image quality: The telephoto optics and improved visual images captured by the camera address the problem of low image quality, ensuring that participants are captured with clarity and detail.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced visual images: The camera's use of telephoto optics and the moveable mirror improves the visual images captured, resulting in clearer and more detailed representations of participants.
- Flexibility: The camera's ability to capture visual images of participants at various distances provides flexibility in different applications, allowing for effective communication and monitoring.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information handling system camera leverages telephoto optics by a moveable mirror interfaced with a first camera having a lens with a narrow field of view to capture portions of a wide field of view of a second camera lens so that the camera has improved visual images captured of participants at various distances from the camera. In one embodiment, visual images captured along first and second axes are interleaved to present a videoconference presentation streamed with visual images of both axes, such as a split screen of different videoconference participants.
