MEASUREMENT METHOD USING AR, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18352681 titled 'MEASUREMENT METHOD USING AR, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device that includes a camera, a display, and a sensor for acquiring depth information about objects. The device also has a processor that is connected to the camera, display, and sensor.

  • The processor is configured to display a preview image on the display, which is captured by the camera.
  • The device allows the user to designate a start point and an end point on a subject within the preview image.
  • The sensor is used to acquire depth information about the subject.
  • The processor then corrects the designated start and end points based on the acquired depth information.
  • Finally, the processor measures the length of the subject by calculating the distance between the corrected start and end points.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed in an embodiment according to the present disclosure is an electronic device comprising: a camera, a display, a sensor configured to acquire depth information about at least one object, and at least one processor electrically connected to the camera, the display and the sensor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to display, as a preview image on the display, an image acquired by driving the camera, acquire an input for designating a start point and an end point on a subject included in the preview image, acquire depth information about the subject through the sensor, correct the start point and the end point on the basis of the acquired depth information, and measure the length of the subject on the basis of the distance between the corrected start point and the corrected end point.
