Adapted digital device and adapter for a digital device

摘要

A digital device having an image-handling function, adapted to be held at a level between a user's shoulder level and the user's hip level and directed toward a scene, comprising: a display located on a first surface of the device; an image capture component comprising a lens locatable adjacent a second surface, the lens being adapted to capture a field of view having a center lying on an axis substantially parallel to the first surface; a spatial attitude detector for detecting a current attitude of the device relative to a baseline attitude; a selector for selecting a portion of the field of view according to the baseline attitude; a distortion corrector for correcting distortion of the view caused by an angular difference between the current attitude and the baseline attitude; and a renderer for rendering a corrected image by the distortion corrector on the display.

1. A digital device having an image-handling function and adapted to be held at a level between a user's shoulder level and the user's hip level and directed toward a scene, comprising:
a display located on a first surface of said device; an image capture component comprising a lens locatable adjacent to a second surface of said device, said lens being adapted to capture a field of view of said scene having a center lying on an axis substantially parallel with respect to said first surface; a spatial attitude detector to detect a current attitude of said device relative to a baseline attitude; a selector to select a portion of said field of view that is centered on said baseline attitude; a distortion corrector to correct image distortion of said view caused by an angular difference between said current attitude and said baseline attitude; a renderer to render an image corrected by said distortion corrector on said display; and an adapter locatable on the digital device, the adapter having a second lens located on a third surface, the adapter being equipped with light guidance means for conducting the image from the lens locatable adjacent to the second surface to the second lens located on the third surface.
