ELECTRONIC DEVICE SYNCHRONIZING LENS DRIVING INFORMATION AND IMAGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18086413 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE SYNCHRONIZING LENS DRIVING INFORMATION AND IMAGES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device that includes a lens, an image sensor, and an actuator. The device also includes at least one processor and two interfaces.
- The lens captures incident light and the image sensor generates image data from this light.
- The actuator is responsible for driving the lens.
- The at least one processor outputs a first signal containing lens driving information to control the actuator.
- The first interface presents the first signal to the actuator.
- The second interface presents the first signal to the image sensor.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be used in digital cameras, smartphones, or any other device that requires image capturing capabilities.
- It can be applied in surveillance systems, drones, or autonomous vehicles for capturing images or videos.
Problems Solved
- The technology solves the problem of controlling the actuator to drive the lens accurately.
- It ensures that the lens and image sensor are synchronized in capturing high-quality images.
Benefits
- The electronic device can capture high-resolution images with precise control over the lens.
- The synchronization between the lens and image sensor improves the overall image quality.
- The technology allows for more efficient and accurate autofocus capabilities.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes a lens, an image sensor configured to generate image data from incident light that is incident through the lens, an actuator configured to drive the lens, at least one processor configured to output a first signal including lens driving information for controlling the actuator to drive the lens, a first interface configured to present, by the at least one processor, the first signal to the actuator, and a second interface configured to present, by the at least one processor, the first signal to the image sensor.
