Electronic apparatus and method

摘要

Disclosed herein are an electronic apparatus and method. The electronic includes a photography lens, an eyeball recognition sensor, and a controller. The photography lens acquires an image signal from a subject. The eyeball recognition sensor senses movement of a user's eyeball. The controller recognizes opening and closing of the user's eyelid based on eyeball monitoring information transmitted from the eyeball recognition sensor, and performs a device driving control operation for a reference time period for which the user's eyelid is in a closed state.

主权项

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a photography lens that acquires an image signal from a subject; an eyeball recognition sensor that senses movement of a user's eyeball; and a controller that recognizes opening and closing of the user's eyelid based on eyeball monitoring information transmitted from the eyeball recognition sensor, and performs a device driving control operation for a reference time period for which the user's eyelid is in a closed state, wherein the controller comprises an eyeball movement period calculator that collects the eyeball monitoring information transmitted from the eyeball recognition sensor, and calculates the reference time period for which the user's eyelid is in the closed state, wherein the eyeball movement period calculator is configured to: collect information about time periods for which the user's eyelid is in an opened state and time periods for which the user's eyelid is in the closed state, in a predetermined time period, calculate an average value of the time periods for which the user's eyelid is in the closed state, and set the average value or an arbitrary value as the reference time period for which the user's eyelid is in the closed state.
