发明名称 Multimodal camera and a method for selecting an operation mode of a camera
摘要 A multimodal camera and a method for selecting an operation mode of a camera, the method comprising: sensing scene lighting; detecting movement of the camera including detection of rotational movement for Panorama photography; detecting selection of a selector of the camera, the selector being for selecting between a first set of one or more operation modes based on scene lighting and a second set of one or more operation modes based on movement of the camera; and selecting one of the operation modes from the first and second sets of one or more operation modes based on conditions defined by data associated with the movement of the camera, the scene lighting, and the selection of the selector.

主权项 1. A method for automatic selection and transitioning between operation modes of a camera having a processing unit and a light sensor, the operation modes comprising a first set of operation modes having one or more operation modes and a second set of operation modes having one or more operation modes, the method comprising: sensing scene lighting using the light sensor so as to obtain lighting data; selecting and caching, using the processing unit, an operation mode from the first set of operation modes, the processing unit performing selection and caching based on the lighting data; detecting movement of the camera, detection of movement of the camera being based on whether the camera itself has been moved based on rotational movement or translational movement; and detecting selection of a selector of the camera, the selector being for selecting between the first set of operation modes and the second set of operation modes, wherein if based on detected selection of the selector, the first set of operation modes is selected, the operation mode selected and cached based on scene lighting is executed, and wherein if based on detected selection of the selector, the second set of operation modes is selected: a first operation mode from the second set of operation modes is selected and executed if rotational movement of the camera is detected,a second operation mode from the second set of operation modes is selected and executed if translation movement of the camera is detected, anda third operation mode from the second set of operation modes is selected and executed if no camera movement is detected.
