METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING CAMERA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240121512 titled 'METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING CAMERA
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with two cameras, one of which has a movable lens for zooming capabilities.
- The electronic device includes a first camera and a second camera with a movable lens.
- The device has a display, a processor, and memory connected to the processor.
- When a function related to the first camera is executed, a preview image of a magnification acquired through the first camera is displayed.
- The processor moves the lens of the second camera to preset positions based on the movable range of the lens for zooming.
- Upon a request for zoom function to a second magnification, the lens moves to the corresponding position and acquires a preview image through the second camera.
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in smartphones, digital cameras, and other devices requiring zoom capabilities for photography or video recording.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of limited zoom capabilities in electronic devices with fixed lenses, providing users with the ability to zoom in and out without compromising image quality.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include enhanced zoom functionality, improved image quality, and a more versatile user experience for capturing photos or videos.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be applied in the development of new smartphones, digital cameras, and other consumer electronics with advanced zoom features, appealing to photography enthusiasts and professionals.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of dual-camera systems in smartphones for depth sensing and improved image quality, but the specific implementation of a movable lens for zooming may be a novel aspect of this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the movable lens in the second camera affect the overall size and weight of the electronic device?
The patent application does not provide information on the impact of the movable lens on the device's form factor and portability.
What are the potential challenges in implementing and manufacturing electronic devices with movable lenses for zoom functionality?
The patent application does not address the potential technical or production challenges that may arise in integrating movable lenses into electronic devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic device is provided. the electronic device includes a first camera, a second camera including a lens moving within a movable range, a display, a processor, and a memory operatively connected to the processor. in response to the execution of a function related to the first camera, the electronic device may display a first preview image of a first magnification acquired through the first camera through the display. the processor may move the lens included in the second camera from a starting position to a preset first position configured based on the movable range of the lens while the first preview image of the first magnification is displayed. in response to an input requesting a zoom function to a second magnification, the processor may move the lens of the preset first position to a second position corresponding to the second magnification. the processor may acquire a second preview image corresponding to the second magnification through the second camera based on the lens moved to the second position.
