ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING AUGMENTED REALITY ENVIRONMENT INCLUDING ADAPTIVE MULTI-CAMERA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240104867 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING AUGMENTED REALITY ENVIRONMENT INCLUDING ADAPTIVE MULTI-CAMERA

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device and method for controlling a plurality of cameras on a wearable electronic device based on designated priorities and calculated parameters related to movement.

  • The electronic device receives multiple operation contexts and assigns priorities to them.
  • It calculates parameters related to camera movement for the operation context with the highest priority.
  • The field-of-view and overlapping area of the cameras are adjusted based on the movement of the cameras.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various fields such as virtual reality, augmented reality, surveillance systems, and sports broadcasting.

Problems Solved

1. Efficiently managing multiple operation contexts on a wearable electronic device. 2. Optimizing camera movements for different operation contexts.

Benefits

1. Improved user experience with seamless transitions between different operation contexts. 2. Enhanced camera control for capturing diverse perspectives.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Optimizing Camera Movements for Wearable Devices in Virtual Reality Applications"

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include patents related to camera control systems for electronic devices and wearable technology.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device prioritize operation contexts?

The abstract does not provide details on the specific criteria or algorithms used for assigning priorities to different operation contexts.

What types of movements can the cameras perform independently?

The abstract mentions that the cameras can be moved independently, but it does not specify the range or limitations of these movements.


Original Abstract Submitted

an electronic device and method are provided. the electronic device includes receiving a plurality of operation contexts for the wearable electronic device to perform an operation according to an operation context, designating a priority between the plurality of operation contexts, calculating a parameter related to a movement of a plurality of cameras to perform an operation context having a top priority, and changing a combined field-of-view (fov) and overlapping area formed by the plurality of cameras based on the movement of the plurality of cameras, wherein the plurality of cameras are configured to moved, independently.
