MOUSE POINTER FUNCTION EXECUTION APPARATUS AND METHOD IN PORTABLE TERMINAL EQUIPPED WITH CAMERA

摘要

Disclosed is an apparatus and a method for executing a mouse pointer function in a portable terminal equipped with a camera. The method includes: capturing an external image signal by a camera module; sampling the external image signal and converting a sampled image signal into image data; mapping a group of pixels of the image data generated by the sampling to a group of pixels of an image sensor for each unit pixel on a one-to-one basis; detecting coordinate values of all image data including a point light source in the group of the mapped pixels; determining if a point light source is actually included in all of the image data including the point light source; and activating the detected coordinate values of all of the image data including the point light source and displaying the activated coordinate values on a screen.
