CAMERA MODULE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17955686 titled 'CAMERA MODULE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a camera module for electronic devices that includes a camera lens, a variable aperture, and a photosensitive element.
- The camera lens has a variable aperture that can be adjusted to different clear apertures.
- The photosensitive element enables the camera lens to perform imaging in different areas of the photosensitive area.
- When the clear aperture is adjusted to a first clear aperture, the camera lens can perform imaging in the full area of the photosensitive area with a certain angular resolution.
- When the clear aperture is adjusted to a second clear aperture, the camera lens can perform imaging in a partial area of the photosensitive area with a different angular resolution.
- The angular resolution of the partial area can be adjusted to be a multiple of the angular resolution of the full area.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile phones and smartphones
- Digital cameras
- Surveillance systems
- Drones and unmanned aerial vehicles
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides flexibility in adjusting the aperture and angular resolution of the camera lens.
- Allows for capturing high-resolution images in a full area or lower-resolution images in a partial area.
- Provides versatility in different imaging scenarios.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved image quality and resolution control.
- Enhanced adaptability to different lighting conditions.
- Cost-effective solution for electronic devices with limited space.
Original Abstract Submitted
A camera module, which may be included in an electronic device includes a camera lens, a variable aperture, and a photosensitive element. A quantity of apertures of the camera lens is F1 when a clear aperture of the variable aperture is adjusted to a first clear aperture, and the photosensitive element is configured to: enable the camera lens to perform imaging in a full area of a photosensitive area, and adjust angular resolution of the full area to δ. A quantity of apertures of the camera lens is F2 when a clear aperture of the variable aperture is adjusted to a second clear aperture, where F1≥F2, and the photosensitive element is configured to: enable the camera lens to perform imaging in a partial area of the photosensitive area, and adjust angular resolution of the partial area to nδ, where 1≤n≤3.
