Patent number: 9704013Abstract: A display and finger print reader assembly for an electronic device includes a display having an arrangement of light emitting pixels, a light guide juxtaposed the arrangement of pixels of the display, and light sensors disposed at different locations around a periphery of the light guide. Light is sequentially emitted from the pixels to illuminate a user's finger that is placed against the display and finger print reader assembly. The emitted light that is reflected by the user's finger propagates in the light guide to one or more of the light sensors and indicates a fingerprint characteristic of a portion of the user's finger adjacent the pixel or pixels from which the light is emitted.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2014Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: Sony Mobile Communications Inc.Inventor: Joakim Nelson

Patent number: 8208010Abstract: Methods for adjusting a picture of an object captured by a camera in a mobile radio communication terminal include defining a first camera angle relative to the object and capturing an image of the object by means of the camera from a second camera angle relative to the object. The second camera angle is offset from the first camera angle. The methods further include storing image data relating to the captured image, and generating an angularly adjusted image of the object in response to the image data and an angular relation between the first camera angle and the second camera angle. Corresponding mobile radio communication terminals are also disclosed. The terminals include an image processing system configured to process an image of an object captured by a camera from a second camera angle by generating an angularly adjusted image of the object in response to image data for the image, and in response to an angular relation between the second camera angle and a first camera angle.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2005Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications ABInventors: Joakim Nelson, Johan Gulliksson
