  • Patent number: 11350025
    Abstract: Provided is an optical device for reducing the time for auto focusing (AF) performed by a contrast detection system, the optical device comprises a liquid lens having a curvature that varies on the basis of an applied electrical signal and the liquid lens may be auto-focused at one time from the current curvature (i.e., the first curvature state, p) to a target curvature corresponding to a distance to the subject (i.e., a second curvature state) based on the FV slope ratio.

  • Patent number: 10158807
    Abstract: A mobile terminal includes: a display unit configured to output an image photographed by a camera; at least one camera configured to, based on that a user input for selecting a specific object in the image is applied, track movement of the specific object; and a controller configured to output the specific object in one area within an image frame for a preset time by tracking the movement of the specific object, wherein the controller, based on that a preset user input is applied to the specific object in the image, outputs an object corresponding to each of at least one area within the image frame, and, based on that a user input for selecting one of the objects is applied, outputs the specific object in one area within an image frame corresponding to the selected object.
