System and method for improving the shaving experience by providing improved visibility of the skin shaving area. A digital camera is integrated with the electric shaver for close image capturing of shaving area, and displaying it on a display unit. The display unit can be integral part of the electric shaver casing, or housed in a separated device which receives the image via a communication channel. The communication channel can be wireless (using radio, audio or light) or wired, such as dedicated cabling or using powerline communication. A light source is used to better illuminate the shaving area. Video compression and digital image processing techniques are used for providing for improved shaving results. The wired communication medium can simultaneously be used also for carrying power from the electric shaver assembly to the display unit, or from the display unit to the electric shaver.

Provided is an electronic device with high portability, a highly browsable electronic device, or an electronic device having a novel light source that can be used in shooting photographs and video. The electronic device includes a camera and a flexible display portion. The display portion has a first region and a second region. The first region has a function of emitting light to a photographic subject. The second region has a function of displaying an image of the photographic subject shot by the camera. The display portion can be bent so that the first region and the second region face in different directions.

A video shooting method includes: enabling a camera function; determining a first video recording template in response to a first operation of a user, where the first video recording template includes a first example sample, a second example sample, and preset audio; maintaining a position of an electronic device and starting video recording in response to a second operation of the user; and automatically generating a synthetic video, where the synthetic video includes a first video clip, a second video clip, and the preset audio, the first video clip is a video clip generated in the first camera movement mode, and the second video clip is a video clip generated in the second camera movement mode. In this manner, a plurality of video clips obtained in various camera movement modes may be synthesized into a video configured with audio.

A dimension measurement method includes: extracting a plurality of lines from a plurality of images generated by shooting a target area from a plurality of viewpoints, and generating a line segment model which is a three-dimensional model of the target area that is expressed using the plurality of lines; calculating a dimension of a particular part inside the target area, using the line segment model; and outputting the dimension calculated.

An image processing device includes: an input unit, first image data being a portion of an image with first and second photographic subjects being imaged being inputted therein, the second subject to be displayed after the first, and the first subject again to be displayed by repeating control to shift a portion of the image displayed upon the display unit in a first direction and to display a portion not displayed; and an image generation unit generating, from the first image data, second image data including the first and second subjects, and the second subject is arranged towards the first direction from the first subject, if a first distance by which the image displayed shifts from the first subject being displayed until the second subject is displayed is longer than a second distance by which the image displayed shifts from the second subject until the first subject is displayed.

An image capturing control apparatus that enables a user to recognize a transparency of OSD for recording. A system controller sets a transparency of OSD superimposed on a captured LV image and sets whether or not to record the captured image in a state combined with the OSD, as an image file. The OSD is displayed in a state superimposed on the LV image at a transparency of OSD for display, regardless of a setting concerning recording of the image file, and in a case where it is set to record the LV image in the state combined with the OSD, the OSD is displayed according to a specific operation, in a state superimposed on the LV image, at a transparency of OSD for recording, regardless of the transparency of OSD for display.

A computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product improve the quality of multimedia. The method includes displaying a current frame of a video. The method also includes generating dataframes for the current frame and for a reference frame of the video. The method further includes comparing the dataframes for the reference and current frames. In addition, the method includes determining a quality metric of the current frame based on the comparison of the dataframes for the reference and current frames. Finally, the method includes altering an orientation of the display of the current frame in response to determining that the quality metric of the current frame is below a threshold.

An electronic device includes a connection unit and a control unit. The control unit enables a power supply path for supplying power from a first battery connected to an external device to the electronic device and enables a power supply path for supplying power from a second battery connected to the external device to a predetermined functional unit of the external device, in a case where the first battery or the second battery connected to the external device is not charged. The control unit disables a power supply path for supplying power from the second battery connected to the external device to the predetermined functional unit and enables a power supply path for supplying power from the electronic device to the first battery or the second battery, in a case where the first battery or the second battery connected to the external device is charged.

A camera assembly can include a housing that includes a front side that includes a front side perimeter, a back side that includes a back side perimeter, and a surface that extends between the front side and the back side; a camera that includes a front side aperture; a front side illumination light; and a status light.
