ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PREVIEW IMAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18164068 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PREVIEW IMAGE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a technology that allows an electronic device with a camera to detect and display objects within its field of view (FOV) on a display. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent application:

  • The electronic device has a processor that can execute a camera.
  • The camera detects a first object within its FOV.
  • A first preview image is displayed on a display, showing the first object at a certain magnification.
  • While the first preview image is displayed, the camera detects a second object within its FOV.
  • A second preview image is displayed on the display, showing both the first and second objects at a different magnification than the first preview image.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Photography and videography: This technology can be used in cameras or smartphones to provide users with a better preview of their shots, allowing them to adjust the composition and focus.
  • Surveillance systems: The technology can be applied in security cameras to provide enhanced previews of detected objects, helping security personnel to identify potential threats more effectively.
  • Medical imaging: The technology can be utilized in medical devices to display detailed previews of specific areas of interest within the patient's body, aiding in diagnosis and treatment.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Limited preview capabilities: Traditional cameras or devices may only provide a single preview image at a fixed magnification, making it difficult to examine multiple objects or regions of interest simultaneously.
  • Inefficient object detection: Without this technology, users may need to manually adjust the camera's focus or zoom to detect and preview different objects within the FOV, resulting in a time-consuming and cumbersome process.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced preview experience: Users can view multiple objects or regions of interest within the FOV at different magnifications, allowing for better examination and adjustment.
  • Time-saving and convenience: The technology automates the object detection and preview process, eliminating the need for manual adjustments and improving overall efficiency.
  • Improved accuracy: By providing detailed previews of objects or regions of interest, users can make more informed decisions and achieve better results in various applications.


Original Abstract Submitted

At least one processor included in an electronic device may: execute a camera; detect a first object within a field of view (FOV) of the camera; display a first preview image based on a first region of interest (ROI) including the first object on a display at a first magnification; additionally detect a second object within the FOV while the first preview image is displayed on the display; and display a second preview image based on a second ROI including the first object and the second object on the display at a second magnification different from the first magnification.
