ELECTRONIC DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18155642 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with multiple lenses arranged on different surfaces. The device includes control means to display captured images from different lenses based on user instructions.
- The electronic device has a first surface with a first lens and a second lens with a wider angle than the first lens.
- The device also has a second surface with at least a third lens.
- Control means are included to control the display of captured images based on user instructions.
- When instructed to display a captured image from a lens on the first surface, the control means displays the image from the first lens.
- When instructed to display a captured image from a lens on the second surface, the control means displays an image from a lens with a wider field angle.
Potential Applications
- Mobile phones with improved camera capabilities.
- Surveillance systems with enhanced viewing angles.
- Virtual reality devices with better image capture.
Problems Solved
- Limited field of view in traditional camera systems.
- Inability to capture wide-angle images with a single lens.
- Difficulty in displaying images from multiple lenses on a single device.
Benefits
- Enhanced image capture with wider field angles.
- Improved user experience with the ability to display images from different lenses.
- Versatile device suitable for various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device having a first surface on which a first lens and a second lens with a wider angle than the first lens is arranged and a second surface on which at least a third lens is arranged, the electronic device comprising control means for controlling a captured image of the first lens to be displayed in response to issuing an instruction to display a captured image of a lens on the first surface, and controlling a captured image at a second field angle wider than the first field angle to be displayed in response to issuing an instruction to display a captured image of a lens on the second surface.
