IMAGE CAPTURING METHOD USING PLURALITY OF CAMERAS, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240129640 titled 'IMAGE CAPTURING METHOD USING PLURALITY OF CAMERAS, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with multiple image sensors that can adjust the resolution of image data acquired by each sensor based on a specified event through a camera application.

  • The electronic device includes a plurality of image sensors, a processor, a display, and memory storing executable instructions.
  • The device activates all image sensors based on a specified event through the camera application.
  • It determines a primary image sensor for displaying image data on the display and sets its resolution as the first resolution.
  • The resolution of image data acquired by a secondary image sensor is set lower than the first resolution.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices with multiple cameras to optimize image quality and resolution based on user preferences or specific events.

Problems Solved

This innovation addresses the issue of inconsistent image quality from multiple sensors in electronic devices by dynamically adjusting the resolution of each sensor to ensure a cohesive and visually appealing display.

Benefits

- Improved image quality and resolution for users - Enhanced user experience with customizable camera settings - Efficient utilization of multiple image sensors in electronic devices

Potential Commercial Applications

"Dynamic Resolution Adjustment in Electronic Devices" can find applications in the smartphone industry, surveillance systems, and digital cameras to provide users with high-quality images while optimizing device performance.

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to adjusting image sensor resolutions in electronic devices, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life in electronic devices?

The abstract does not mention how the dynamic resolution adjustment affects the battery life of the electronic device.

Are there any limitations to the resolution adjustment based on the specified event?

It is unclear from the abstract if there are any restrictions or limitations to adjusting the resolution of image data acquired by the image sensors.


Original Abstract Submitted

an electronic device includes: a plurality of image sensors including a first image sensor and a second image sensor; a processor; a display connected to the processor; and memory storing instructions being executable by the processor, which cause the electronic device to at least: execute a camera application; activate all of the plurality of image sensors, based on at least one of a specified event executed through the camera application, determine a first image sensor among the plurality of image sensors as an image sensor outputting image data to be displayed on the display, set a resolution of first image data acquired through the first image sensor as a first resolution, and in response to the determination, set a resolution of second image data acquired through a second image sensor among the plurality of image sensors as a second resolution lower than the first resolution.
