ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR CROPPING SUBJECT WITHIN IMAGE FRAMES AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18454064 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR CROPPING SUBJECT WITHIN IMAGE FRAMES AND METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with a camera, display, and processor that can switch to an auto framing mode based on user input. The processor identifies areas in the image frames, predicts the subject's movement, and performs cropping to display a preview image.

  • The electronic device includes a display, camera, and processor.
  • The processor switches to an auto framing mode based on user input.
  • The processor identifies areas in the image frames.
  • The processor predicts the subject's movement.
  • The processor performs cropping to display a preview image.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in smartphones, digital cameras, and other devices with cameras to improve the framing of subjects in photos or videos.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of users having to manually adjust the framing of subjects in photos or videos, especially when the subject is moving.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved framing of subjects, ease of use for users, and potentially better quality photos or videos.

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be used in smartphones, digital cameras, and other consumer electronics to enhance the user experience and attract customers looking for advanced camera features.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of face detection technology in cameras to automatically focus on and track subjects in photos or videos.

What are the specific technical details of the processor's prediction algorithm for the subject's movement?

The specific technical details of the processor's prediction algorithm for the subject's movement are not provided in the abstract.

How does the processor determine the preset portion of the subject in the first area?

The abstract does not specify how the processor determines the preset portion of the subject in the first area.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes a display, a camera, and a processor. The processor receives, while displaying a preview image through the display based on at least portion of image frames obtained through the camera, an input with respect to a preset button. The processor switches to an auto framing mode in response to the photographing input. The processor identifies a first area matched to a subject captured by the camera, and a second area including a preset portion of the subject in the first area. The processor, based on predicting a moving direction of the subject in the image frames by a position of the second area in the first area, displays the preview image by performing cropping with respect to at least one of the image frames.
