发明名称 APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A CAMERA AND INFRARED ILLUMINATOR IN AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
摘要 An apparatus and a method in an electronic device provide for controlling a camera and an infrared illuminator, wherein an image capturing process is initiated to produce image data representing a photographic scene. In response to initiating the image capturing process, an infrared illuminator is activated to illuminate the photographic scene. Reflected infrared light from the photographic scene is measured to produce exposure data. In response to the exposure data, a sensor is exposed and image data from the sensor in the electronic device is stored. The electronic device can be a wireless device. Exposure data can include an aperture size, an exposure duration, a lens position for focusing, and the like. Sensing a reflection of infrared light can indicate the presence of a subject in the photographic scene that can be illuminated. The infrared illuminator can be activated before or during the capturing of image data.
