WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING CAMERA MODULE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18328111 titled 'WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING CAMERA MODULE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The wearable electronic device described in the patent application includes a housing, at least one processor, at least one first camera module, and at least one second camera module.
- The processor controls the first camera module to capture images for a first field of view (FOV) and identifies when a user's hand is in a designated area of the first FOV.
- The processor adjusts the frame rate of the first camera module based on the presence of the user's hand.
- The processor can activate the second camera module and adjust its frame rate based on the first camera module's images.

Original Abstract Submitted
A wearable electronic device is provided. The wearable electronic device may include a housing, at least one processor included in the housing, at least one first camera module configured to capture an image for a first field of view (FOV), and at least one second camera module configured to capture an image for a second FOV different from the first FOV. The at least one processor may be configured to control the at least one first camera module to obtain first image frames at a first frame rate, based on identification, based on at least a part of the first image frames, that a user's hand is disposed in a designated area of the first FOV, control the at least one first camera module to obtain second image frames at a second frame rate greater than the first frame rate, and maintain, in an inactive state, the at least one second camera module, or activate the second camera module, and control the at least one second camera module to operate the at least one second camera module at the first frame rate.
