Patent number: 11145233Abstract: Implementations for masking for mitigating visual contrast of a camera region of a display are described. Generally, the described techniques provide ways for mitigating visual differences between a camera region and other regions of a display. For instance, visual masks can be generated and displayed overlapping and/or peripherally to a camera region of a display to smooth a visual transition between the camera region and other regions of the display. The masks, for example, are displayed in regions of the display that surround the camera region. Further, color attributes of the masks can be configured to provide a gradual visual transition from color output at the camera region to color output at other regions of the display.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventor: Kevin Ha Dao
