发明名称 Enabling the integration of a three hundred and sixty degree panoramic camera within a mobile device case
摘要 A user activation of an image capture function of a mobile device is received. The image capture function is for a surround image mode. Two or more camera lenses of a mobile device case are approximately concurrently activated. Responsive to activating the lenses, a front-side image from a first camera lens and a rear-side image from a second camera lens are optically captured. Content from the front-side image and content from the rear-side are recorded in a non-transitory storage medium of the mobile device within a single file for a surround mode image.

主权项 1. A method for implementing image capture from a mobile device comprising: receiving a user activation of an image capture function of a mobile device, wherein the image capture function is for a surround image mode, wherein a case substantially encapsulating the mobile device comprises a first and second camera lenses that are positionable by an actuator to adjust an angle of view of captured images; responsive to the user activation, approximately concurrently activating two or more camera lenses for capturing images at a first and a second time, said two or more camera lenses comprising a first and a second camera lens of the case, wherein said first and second camera lenses are interior components deposed between a front and a back side of the case, wherein a total size of a combined field of view of the first and second camera lenses is at least two hundred and seventy degrees; at approximately the first time, capturing a front-side image using the first camera lens and a rear-side image using the second camera lens; between the first time and the second time, the mobile device triggering the actuator to reposition at least one of the first and the second camera lenses to adjust the angle of view; at approximately the second time, capturing a second front-side image using the first camera lens and a second rear-side image using the second camera lens, wherein at the second time, the actuator has adjusted the angle of at least one of the first and second camera lenses; and recording, in the single file for a surround mode image in a non-transitory storage medium of the mobile device, content from the second front-side image and the second rear-side image in addition to the front-side image from the first time and the rear-side image from the second time.
