Mobile device utilizing multiple cameras
View Patent ↗A mobile electronic device may have two rear facing cameras to capture environmental information. A camera and a depth sensor of the mobile electronic device may capture biometric facial data for security verification. Characteristics of the environment may be identified based on the environmental information and results of the security verification.
1. A mobile electronic device comprising:
at least two rear facing cameras configured to capture a part of an environment and to capture a part of a paper document in the environment;
a camera and a depth sensor configured to capture biometric facial information for security verification;
a processor configured to identify characteristics of the environment based on the captured part of the environment, the captured part of the paper document, and information received via a network adapter, wherein the identification is performed subsequent to a successful result of the security verification;
the process configured to detect, based on the at least two rear facing cameras, a user gesture on the paper document, wherein the user gesture is a command to digitally edit or highlight a portion of the paper document; and
the processor configured to retrieve additional information of the identified characteristics of the environment.
2. The mobile electronic device of claim 1 further comprising:
the processor is configured to utilize assistance information for the identification; and
wherein the assistance information is obtained, by the mobile electronic device, from the captured part of the environment.
3. The mobile electronic device of claim 1 , wherein eye tracking is utilized to track position or location of the mobile electronic device.
4. The mobile electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a timeline or history of the identified characteristics of the environment is retrieved.
5. A method performed by a mobile electronic device, the method comprising:
capturing, by at least two rear facing cameras of the mobile electronic device, a part of an environment and a part of a paper document in the environment;
capturing, by a camera and a depth sensor of the mobile electronic device, biometric facial information for security verification;
identifying, by a processor of the mobile electronic device, characteristics of the environment based on the captured part of the environment, the captured part of the paper document, and information received via a network adapter, wherein the identification is performed subsequent to a successful result of the security verification;
detecting, based on the at least two rear facing cameras by the processor a user gesture on the paper document, wherein the user gesture is a command to digitally edit or highlight a portion of the paper document; and
retrieving additional information of the identified characteristics of the environment.
6. The method of claim 5 further comprising:
utilizing, by the processor, assistance information for the identification; and
obtaining, by the mobile electronic device, the assistance information from the captured part of the environment.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein eye tracking is utilized to track position or location of the mobile electronic device.
8. The method of claim 5 , wherein a timeline or history of the identified characteristics of the environment is retrieved.
