A smartphone that is suitable to shoot or take a video or a photo and save them in an external storage device that can communicate with a connecting unit in the smartphone. The smartphone is capable of being operated in external save mode and to save the video or the photo solely in the external storage device. The smartphone may include an encryption subsystem to encrypt the video or the photo or a voice recordation, and a decryption subsystem. The encryption subsystem can encrypt the video or the photo or the voice recordation in such a way that they can be decrypted by using personal keys that were identified by a personal key identification reader of the smartphone before the camera shoots the video or takes the photo or before the microphone executes the voice recordation.

A wearable camera with mobile device optical coupling provides hands-free point-of-view video-chat. The mobile device optical coupling is enabled by an optic transfer engine that comprises a communications bus, a video decoding module, a micro-display, and a housing. The communications bus initially receives optical sensor data from an optical sensing device (e.g., the wearable camera). Next, the video decoding module decodes the optical sensor data. The micro-display displays the decoded optical sensor data. The housing partially encloses the communications bus, the video decoding module, and the micro-display and has a mounting element that is configured to removably mount the optics couple to a computing device such that the micro-display is positioned in a field of view of another optical sensing device coupled to the computing device.

To appropriately capture an image that cannot be directly viewed. A program that causes a processor to execute: detection of a first target in a first image acquired by a first camera; estimation of a length of a path from the detected first camera to the first target; and switching of display of a second image acquired by a second camera on the basis of the length of the path, and synthesis of an index for adjusting a position of a second target in the second image.

A portable terminal device in an information processing system and method includes a camera and a microphone. Data of obtained images and voice are transmitted to a server that identifies operations to be executed based on the received voice and image data. The server transmits an identification of one or more results of the plurality of operations to the portable terminal device. When the portable terminal device receives only one result from the server, an operation corresponding to the one result is executed, and when a plurality of results is received, the portable terminal device displays information corresponding to the plurality of results as candidates. Additional voice is captured for selecting one of the plurality of results during the displaying of the information. A determination of one result from the plurality of results is made based on the captured voice, and an operation corresponding to the determined result is executed.

An apparatus, including a controller, camera, display, speaker, global positioning system, and sensor or detector which senses or detects a dangerous, hazardous, or unsafe, condition at or in a vicinity of the apparatus. The sensor or detector senses or detects the dangerous, hazardous, or unsafe, condition, and the apparatus provides, via the speaker, an audible alarm, siren blare, or verbal message, containing information regarding the dangerous, hazardous, or unsafe, condition. The apparatus or the controller generates an alert message containing information regarding the dangerous, hazardous, or unsafe, condition. The apparatus transmits the alert message to a central processing computer, to a communication device of a parent, relative, or friend, or other authorized individual, or to a police or law enforcement communication device.

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.

The display control method for an electronic device with a foldable screen according to an embodiment of this application includes: The electronic device determines a first use posture of using the electronic device by a user, and locks a first screen in response to the first use posture; and when detecting a photographing scenario of a camera and a flip operation performed by the user of the electronic device, the electronic device detects whether an object approaches the electronic device, and in response to a detection result, switches from performing displaying on the first screen to performing displaying on a second screen, or maintains the first screen on and the second screen off. In embodiments of this application, intelligent screen locking or automatic screen switching can be implemented based on different application scenarios, to implement an intelligent terminal device, and improve use performance of the terminal device.

The present disclosure generally relates to generating and modifying virtual avatars. An electronic device having a camera and a display apparatus displays a virtual avatar that changes appearance in response to changes in a face in a field of view of the camera. In response to detecting changes in one or more physical features of the face in the field of view of the camera, the electronic device modifies one or more features of the virtual avatar.

Disclosed is a vehicular electronic device including a processor configured to receive information on a user gaze direction, to determine whether a user looks forward based on the information, to perform control to make a call using voice only upon determining that the user looks forward, and to perform control to make a call using voice and an image upon determining that the user does not look forward.

An application combination establishment method, implemented by an electronic device, includes determining usage of all or some of N applications running on the electronic device and establishing a first combination based on the usage, where the first combination includes a first application and a second application in the N applications. In the application combination establishment method, an application combination may be automatically established based on usage of an application, and a user does not need to manually select an application to establish an application combination.
