ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18156068 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic apparatus with two lenses that have different angles of view. It includes a switching unit to switch between imaging using the first lens and imaging using the second lens. A control unit controls the display of items corresponding to different imaging modes.

  • The electronic apparatus has two lenses with different angles of view.
  • A switching unit allows for switching between imaging using the first lens and imaging using the second lens.
  • A control unit controls the display of items corresponding to different imaging modes.
  • When the second lens is being used for imaging, the control unit displays a first item and a second item in different display modes.
  • The first item corresponds to an imaging mode that enables both the first and second lens imaging.
  • The second item corresponds to an imaging mode that enables only the first lens imaging and disables the second lens imaging.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Photography and videography devices with multiple lenses.
  • Virtual reality and augmented reality devices with different viewing angles.
  • Surveillance systems with wide-angle and narrow-angle lenses.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Allows for capturing images or videos with different angles of view using the same device.
  • Provides flexibility in choosing the desired lens for capturing specific scenes.
  • Enables the display of different imaging modes for user convenience.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced versatility and flexibility in capturing images or videos.
  • Improved user experience with the ability to switch between different imaging modes.
  • Simplified control and display of imaging options.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic apparatus including a first lens and a second lens at a first side, the second lens having a angle of view different from that of the first lens, includes a switching unit configured to switch first imaging via the first lens and second imaging via the second lens, and a control unit configured to control display of items corresponding to a plurality of respective imaging modes, wherein the control unit is configured to, in a case where the second imaging is being performed, control display of a first item and a second item in different display modes, the first item corresponding to an imaging mode that enables the first imaging and the second imaging, the second item corresponding to an imaging mode that enables the first imaging and disables the second imaging.
