IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18462538 titled 'IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an image capturing device that can display images with different angles of view on a display unit.

  • Image capturing unit: captures images
  • Control unit: controls the display of images on the display unit
  • First angle-of-view display: displays images with a wider angle of view
  • Second angle-of-view display: displays images with a narrower angle of view by performing camera shake correction
  • Item for changing display: displayed when the device enters a specific state during second angle-of-view display

Potential Applications

  • Photography and videography
  • Surveillance systems
  • Medical imaging

Problems Solved

  • Providing different angles of view for better image quality
  • Correcting camera shake for clearer images
  • Easy transition between different viewing angles

Benefits

  • Improved image quality
  • Enhanced user experience
  • Versatile applications across various industries


Original Abstract Submitted

An image capturing device is used which includes: an image capturing unit; and a control unit for performing control such that an image captured by the image capturing unit is displayed in a display unit, wherein the control unit is able to perform first angle-of-view display displaying the image with a first angle-of-view on the display unit and second angle-of-view display displaying the image with a second angle-of-view narrower than the first angle-of-view on the display unit by performing camera shake correction on the image and, in a case in which the image capturing device comes into a specific state when the second angle-of-view display is performed, the control unit displays an item for changing from the second angle-of-view display to the first angle-of-view on the display unit.
