REMOTE CONTROL OF MOBILE PHONE CAMERA

摘要

In a portrait mode of operation in a mobile communication device a phone camera can automatically be triggered to photograph an image in response to a sensed sound signal. The portrait mode may be initially activated by the user by depressing a key on the phone keypad and/or a dedicated camera function button. A sound trigger signal can be detected from an input of the phone microphone. An indicator, such as a light emitting diode (LED) can be energized in the portrait mode and viewable from the position of image object. Thus the user ccan confirm that the portrait mode is operational.
