ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND IMAGE TRANSMISSION METHOD BY ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18096842 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND IMAGE TRANSMISSION METHOD BY ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with multiple communication modules, a sensor module, and a camera module. The device's processor uses sensor information to determine the direction in which the device is being photographed. It also receives direction information from an external electronic device through a communication module. When the camera interface is activated and a graphic object is selected, the processor determines a shared external electronic device based on the photographing direction, the direction of the external device, and the camera's angle of view. It then transmits the photographed image to the determined shared device.
- An electronic device with multiple communication modules, a sensor module, and a camera module.
- The device's processor determines the photographing direction based on sensor information.
- The processor receives direction information from an external electronic device through a communication module.
- When the camera interface is activated and a graphic object is selected, the processor determines a shared external device.
- The determination is based on the photographing direction, the direction of the external device, and the camera's angle of view.
- The photographed image is transmitted to the determined shared device.
Potential Applications
- Collaborative photography where multiple devices can share and receive images.
- Real-time sharing of images between devices during events or gatherings.
- Remote monitoring and sharing of images in surveillance systems.
Problems Solved
- Simplifies the process of sharing images between electronic devices.
- Enables seamless collaboration and sharing during photography or surveillance scenarios.
- Reduces the need for manual transfer of images between devices.
Benefits
- Improved convenience and efficiency in sharing images between devices.
- Enhanced collaboration and communication during photography or surveillance activities.
- Streamlined workflow and reduced manual effort in transferring images.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes a first communication module; a second communication module; a sensor module; a camera module configured to capture a photographed image; and a processor configured to: determine photographing direction information of the electronic device based on sensor information received from the sensor module, determine direction information of an external electronic device based on a first signal received through the first communication module, in case that a camera interface is activated, determine a shared external electronic device based on the photographing direction information, the direction information of the external electronic device, and angle of view information of a camera, and transmit the photographed image to the determined shared external electronic device in case that a graphic object provided by the camera interface is selected.
