Jia-Ling Jhang has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11892748
    Abstract: A control method for an occlusion component and an electronic device are disclosed. The method includes: in a first status of the electronic device, controlling the occlusion component to be located at a first position on the electronic device to occlude a lens of the electronic device; in a second status of the electronic device, detecting a trigger signal and a target object in front of the lens, wherein the trigger signal is generated by triggering a physical button of the electronic device, and the first status is different from the second status; and in a situation where the trigger signal is detected and the target object exists, controlling the occlusion component to move to a second position on the electronic device to expose the lens.

  • Publication number: 20190215453
    Abstract: An image capturing device is provided. The image capturing device includes an image sensing circuit, a determination circuit and an output circuit. The image sensing circuit is utilized for capturing a first test image at a first time point and capturing a second test image at a second time point. The determination circuit is utilized for calculating a first image feature value associated with a color value of the first test image and a second image feature value associated with a color value of the second test image, calculating a difference value between the first image feature value and the second image feature value and comparing the difference value with a threshold value to generate a determination result. The output circuit is utilized for outputting the images generated by the image capturing device according to the determination result.
