METHOD FOR PHOTOGRAPHING IN MULTIPLE DIRECTIONS THROUGH ONE CAMERA AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18070763 titled 'METHOD FOR PHOTOGRAPHING IN MULTIPLE DIRECTIONS THROUGH ONE CAMERA AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

An electronic device is described in this patent application. The device includes a housing with an opening and an internal space, a first wireless communication circuit, and a display with a first area. It also includes an electronic pen that can be inserted into the housing through the opening. The electronic pen has a camera and a second wireless communication circuit. The camera of the pen is positioned at a point corresponding to the first area of the display when the pen is inserted into the housing. The device further includes at least one processor connected to the first wireless communication circuit, the display, and the electronic pen. The processor is configured to obtain image data from the camera of the pen through the first wireless communication circuit and display the obtained image data on the display.

  • The electronic device has a housing with an opening and an internal space.
  • It includes an electronic pen that can be inserted into the housing through the opening.
  • The electronic pen has a camera and a wireless communication circuit.
  • The camera of the pen is positioned at a point corresponding to a specific area of the display when the pen is inserted into the housing.
  • The device has a processor that can obtain image data from the camera of the pen and display it on the display.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in electronic devices such as tablets or smartphones.
  • It can be used for various applications that require capturing images or videos, such as photography, video recording, or augmented reality.

Problems Solved

  • This technology solves the problem of capturing images or videos using an external camera by integrating a camera into an electronic pen.
  • It eliminates the need for separate cameras or additional attachments, making the device more compact and convenient.

Benefits

  • The integration of a camera into an electronic pen allows for more flexible and precise image capturing.
  • The ability to insert the pen into the housing ensures that the camera is positioned correctly for capturing images corresponding to a specific area of the display.
  • The wireless communication circuit enables seamless transfer of image data from the pen to the device's processor, allowing for immediate display on the screen.
