IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18496325 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with a camera system that includes a lens unit, a rotatable prism, a driving unit, a sensor unit, and an image sensor. The processor in the device is configured to determine regions of interest for camera functions and correct them based on the rotation of the prism.

  • Camera system includes lens unit, rotatable prism, driving unit, sensor unit, and image sensor.
  • Processor determines regions of interest for camera functions.
  • Rotation of prism is detected by sensor unit.
  • Processor corrects regions of interest based on prism rotation.

Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device disclosed herein includes: a display, a memory, a processor, and a camera, the camera includes a lens unit including a lens, a prism rotatable in a first direction or a second direction, a driving unit including at least one coil configured to move the prism, a magnetic body coupled to the prism, a sensor unit including a sensor configured to detect a first amount of rotation of the prism in the first direction or a second amount of rotation thereof in the second direction, and an image sensor configured to generate an electrical signal using light passing through the lens unit and the prism, wherein the processor is configured to: determine a first region of interest (ROI) for execution of a specified function using the camera, determine the first amount of rotation or the second amount of rotation using a sensing value of the sensor unit, and determine a second region of interest by correcting the first region of interest of the camera using the first amount of rotation or the second amount of rotation.
