An iris image acquisition system comprises an image sensor comprising an array of pixels including pixels sensitive to NIR wavelengths; at least one NIR light source capable of selectively emitting light with different discrete NIR wavelengths; and a processor, operably connected to the image sensor and the at least one NIR light source, to acquire image information from the sensor under illumination at one of the different discrete NIR wavelengths. A lens assembly comprises a plurality of lens elements with a total track length no more than 4.7 mm, each lens element comprising a material with a refractive index inversely proportional to wavelength. The different discrete NIR wavelengths are matched with the refractive index of the material for the lens elements to balance axial image shift induced by a change in object distance with axial image shift due to change in illumination wavelength.

A system for producing a 360 degree media is provided. The system includes an adapter and a computer having a front camera facing in a first direction and a rear camera facing in a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are opposite one another. The adapter includes a front lens facing in the first direction and a rear lens facing in the second direction when the adapter is releasably attached to the computer. The front lens and the rear lens expand a capturable image of the front camera and the rear camera so that the computer may capture and produce the 360 degree media.

A smart phone/apparatus/machine configured to enable a user to take a picture and associate audio and text data to the picture immediately thereafter, and then send such associated data to others.

A mobile, wireless biometric identification system includes a biometric capture device which enables a smartphone, using a commercially established wireless communication networks, to capture a digital image of a human biometric (iris, fingerprint, etc.) for transmission to a central server. The biometric capture device captures a high quality image for encoding and comparison, while the overall system leverages the existing cellular communication network. The device can be used as an interface to medical databases and devices used to diagnose and treat patients.

Techniques are disclosed for determining whether a mobile device is located indoors or outdoors. In some embodiments, a mobile device may utilize a fusion of the information from multiple sensors, such as a RGB sensor, a proximity sensor, a light intensity sensor, and a WiFi radio, to determine whether the mobile device is located indoors or outdoors.

One example discloses an apparatus for near-field magnetic induction (NFMI) based robustness, including: a first wireless device including a first wireless signal interface and a first NFMI signal interface; wherein the first wireless signal interface is configured to receive a data set from a third wireless device; wherein the first NFMI signal interface is configured to communicate with a second wireless device through a second NFMI signal interface; and wherein the first wireless device is configured to detect an error in the data set received from the third wireless device and in response to detecting the error configure the first NFMI signal interface to receive the data set from the second wireless device through the second NFMI signal interface.

Disclosed are a mobile terminal and a control method therefor. The mobile terminal, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a camera provided to a main body; a display unit for displaying a preview image for the photographing of the camera; and a control unit for detecting the entering into of a subject information search mode while the preview image is being displayed, and in the information search mode, detecting the selection of one search option among a plurality of search options for a subject. In addition, on the basis of a touch input applied to the preview image, the control unit photographs the subject, including an object to which the selected search option is to be applied, and displays, on the display unit, an image of the photographed subject along with a screen where the selected search option is applied.

Disclosed is a mobile terminal that provides an augmented reality navigation screen in a state of being hold in a vehicle, the mobile terminal including: at least one camera configured to obtain a front image; a display; and at least one processor configured to calibrate the front image, and to drive an augmented reality navigation application so that the augmented reality navigation screen including at least one augmented reality (AR) graphic object and the calibrated front image is displayed on the display.

A mobile phone 10 comprises a display 14 and a touch panel 16, and a lock state of restricting performance of the predetermined processing based on a touch operation is set. A home screen including a function icon is displayed on the display 14. When the lock state is set, a lock screen is produced based on this home screen. Then, the lock screen is displayed if the power supply of the display 14 is turned on. A cancellation icon corresponding to the function icon is included in the lock screen. If a cancellation operation using the cancellation icon corresponding to a mail application is performed the lock state is canceled and the mail application is performed.

Systems and methods for providing real-time alerts to a user of a device in or near a potentially dangerous situation are disclosed. A computer-implemented method includes determining, by the mobile device, that a user is looking at the mobile device based on sensor data, determining, by the mobile device, an area of a likely accident event, and generating, by the mobile device, an alert based on the determining that the user is looking at the device and the determining the area of the likely accident event.
