ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240163553 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with a display control unit that divides an image into two regions using an assisting line, allowing different processing to be applied to each region based on the shooting mode.

  • The electronic device includes a display control unit that divides an image into a first region and a second region using an assisting line.
  • In the first shooting mode, specific processing related to shooting is disabled in the first region but enabled in the second region.
  • In the second shooting mode for a different type of image, the specific processing is enabled in a region that includes both the first and second regions.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Photography devices to enhance image processing capabilities.
  • Augmented reality applications for improved user interaction.

Problems Solved

This technology solves:

  • Limitations in processing specific regions of an image differently.
  • Enhances user control and customization in image capturing.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved image processing efficiency.
  • Enhanced user experience and control over image capturing.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications include:

  • Camera devices for professional photographers.
  • Mobile devices with advanced camera features.

Possible Prior Art

There is no prior art known at this time.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life in electronic devices?

The patent application does not address the potential impact on battery life due to the implementation of this technology. Further research and testing would be needed to determine if there are any effects on battery performance.

Are there any limitations to the types of images that can be processed using this technology?

The patent application does not specify any limitations on the types of images that can be processed. It would be important to investigate if certain image characteristics could affect the effectiveness of the processing techniques described.


Original Abstract Submitted

an electronic device includes a display control unit that performs control to display, on a display unit, a first assisting line that divides an image into at least a first region and a second region, so as to be superimposed on the image, and a control unit that performs control such that, in a first mode for shooting a first type of image, particular processing relating to shooting is inexecutable in the first region, and the particular processing is executable in the second region, and performs control such that, in a second mode for shooting a second type of image that is different from the first type of image, the particular processing is executable in a region including the first region and the second region.
