IMAGING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18609973 titled 'IMAGING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an imaging device that can display or record different ranges of an image based on whether self-photographing is being performed or not.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Imaging device with image sensor and controller.
- Controller can display or record a narrower range of the image when self-photographing is not happening.
- Controller can display or record a wider range of the image when self-photographing is being performed.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in digital cameras, smartphones, and other devices that capture images.
Problems Solved: This technology allows for more efficient use of screen space when switching between regular photography and self-photography modes.
Benefits:
- Enhanced user experience when taking self-photographs.
- Optimal use of screen real estate for displaying images.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied to consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, and digital cameras to improve the user experience and differentiate products in the market.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research on image sensors, display control in imaging devices, and user interface design for cameras.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring advancements in image sensor technology, display control algorithms, and user interaction design in imaging devices.
Questions about Imaging Device Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the user experience when taking self-photographs? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in different types of imaging devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
An imaging device includes an image sensor and a controller configured to perform control to display or record a range of at least a part of an image captured by the image sensor, wherein in a first state in which self-photographing is not performed, the controller performs control to display or record a first range of the image, and in a second state in which the self-photographing is performed, the controller performs control to display or record a second range wider than the first range of the image.
