ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240292088 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE
The abstract describes an electronic device that displays a guide indicating the current focus position in a focus range from a close end to an infinity end. The guide includes a focus range portion that is long in a predetermined direction, with one end corresponding to the close end and the other end corresponding to the infinity end. The length of the focus range portion is based on the operation range of a focus operation, and the positions of the ends are determined by the relationship between the operation direction of the focus operation and the change direction of the focus position.
- The electronic device controls the display of a guide showing the current focus position within a focus range.
- The guide includes a focus range portion that is long in a predetermined direction.
- One end of the guide corresponds to the close end of the focus range, while the other end corresponds to the infinity end.
- The length of the focus range portion is determined by the operation range of a focus operation.
- The positions of the ends of the guide are based on the relationship between the operation direction of the focus operation and the change direction of the focus position.
Potential Applications: - Photography equipment - Microscopes - Telescopes
Problems Solved: - Helps users accurately determine the focus position - Provides a visual guide for focusing in a specific direction
Benefits: - Improved accuracy in focusing - Enhanced user experience - Simplified operation for users
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Focus Position Guide Technology for Imaging Devices This technology can be used in digital cameras, smartphones, and other imaging devices to improve focus accuracy and user experience. The market implications include increased demand for devices with advanced focus features.

Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic device performs control to display a guide indicating a current focus position in a focus range from a first end on a close side to a second end on an infinity side, wherein the guide includes a focus range portion which is long in a predetermined direction, and includes one end whose a position in the predetermined direction corresponds to the first end, and an other end whose a position in the predetermined direction corresponds to the second end, a length of the focus range portion is a length according to an operation range of a focus operation, and a position of the first end and a position of the second end at the focus range portion are positions according to a relationship between an operation direction of the focus operation and a change direction of a focus position.
