METHOD AND AN APPARATUS FOR CONVERTING AN INVERSE IMAGE SIGNAL INTO A NORMAL IMAGE SIGNAL BY A SENSOR IN A MOBILE TERMINAL HAVING A CAMERA

摘要

PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for converting an inverse image signal into a normal image signal by a sensor in a mobile terminal having a camera are provided to convert the inverse image signal into the normal image signal by the sensor according to a photographing position of the camera. CONSTITUTION: A permanent magnet(201) is connected with a camera when the camera rotates at a certain rotation angle, and is contacted to a certain position of a rotation axis(200) which rotates at the same angle. A hall sensor(211) fixed in a body of a mobile terminal covers the rotation axis. The hall sensor is located in a certain portion of a junction surface faced with the rotation axis. When the permanent magnet and the hall sensor are faced, the hall sensor senses a magnetic field from the permanent magnet and generates an inverse conversion signal for converting an inverse image signal into a normal image signal.
