Abstract: An electronic device includes a camera, a memory storing first unit information and second unit information to be used to move a lens driving part, and a processor. The first unit information is configured such that the camera causes a first focus sharpness variation and the second unit information is configured such that the camera causes a second focus sharpness variation. The processor is configured to receive a signal for adjusting a focus associated with an external object by using the camera, to verify a state of the electronic device associated with the reception of the signal, to select corresponding unit information among the first unit information and the second unit information, based at least partly on the state, and to move the lens driving part depending on the corresponding unit information to adjust the focus associated with the external object.
Patent EP-3393113-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TSUKADA KOJI
IPC: H04N1/00
Filed: 2018-04-12
Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: one or more than one sensing means (101, 102, 103, 105) that senses an event on the image processing apparatus; a first memory means (24); a main CPU (124b) that loses power supply while sleep mode is on; and a subordinate CPU (124a) that receives power supply even while sleep mode is on. The subordinate CPU (124a) performs: terminating sleep mode; judging whether not an event occurs on the image processing apparatus, by inquiring of the one or more than one sensing means (101, 102, 103, 105), at predetermined intervals during the transition of the main CPU (124b) from sleep to normal operation; and storing a record of an event on the first memory means (24) if it occurs. After the transition, the main CPU (124b) retrieves the record from the first memory means (24) and performs processing using it.

Title: Load current sensor for envelope tracking modulator
Inventor: IRVINE ROBERT GRANT
IPC: H04B1/02
Filed: 2015-02-24
Abstract: An apparatus and method for sensing load current of an envelope tracking (ET) modulator enables load impedance of a power amplifier to be measured. Impairments associated with the load impedance characteristic can be suppressed by calibration and predistortion instead of by feedback (as done in the prior art). The ET modulator provides a switching regulator that can be reconfigured as a linear regulator for the purpose of sensing the load current. This allows the ET modulator to be operated open-loop, thereby eliminating the power consumption overhead resulting from utilization of a loop filter and error amplifier (used in the prior art) and achieving a higher overall efficiency.
