METHOD OF OBTAINING A USER-SELECTED ANGLE OF VIEW FROM AMONG A PLURALITY OF ANGLES OF VIEW OF RESPECTIVE CAMERAS AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORTING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240236480 titled 'METHOD OF OBTAINING A USER-SELECTED ANGLE OF VIEW FROM AMONG A PLURALITY OF ANGLES OF VIEW OF RESPECTIVE CAMERAS AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORTING THE SAME

The abstract describes an electronic device with two cameras, a touchscreen display, and a processor that can activate and display images from the cameras based on user input events.

  • The device has a first camera with a wide angle of view and a second camera with a narrower angle of view.
  • The processor can activate the first camera and display the image on the touchscreen.
  • It can crop the image from the first camera to match the angle of view of the second camera in response to a user input event.
  • The processor can then display the cropped image from the first camera.
  • The device can also activate the second camera and display the image from it on the touchscreen in response to another user input event.

Potential Applications: - Surveillance systems - Photography and videography equipment - Augmented reality applications - Video conferencing tools

Problems Solved: - Providing multiple perspectives of the same scene - Enhancing user control over image composition - Improving user experience in capturing and viewing images

Benefits: - Enhanced creativity in photography and videography - Improved user experience in capturing and viewing images - Increased versatility in image composition

Commercial Applications: "Multi-Perspective Camera Device for Enhanced Imaging and User Experience"

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device determine which camera to activate based on user input events? 2. What are the potential limitations of cropping images from the first camera to match the angle of view of the second camera?


Original Abstract Submitted

an electronic device including: a housing; a first camera having a first angle of view; a second camera having a second angle of view that is smaller than the first angle of view; a touchscreen display; and a processor. the processor is configured to: based on a photographing direction of the first camera and a photographing direction of the second camera being substantially the same, activate the first camera; display a first image acquired via the first camera on the display; acquire a second image by cropping the first image in accordance with the second angle of view, in response to reception of a first input event; display the second image on the display; activate the second camera in response to reception of a second input event; and display a third image acquired via the second camera on the display.
