  • Patent number: 12184965
    Abstract: An under-display camera is positioned underneath a display of a mobile device. The under-display camera captures an image using light passing through a portion of the display. The mobile device displays a display image on the display, the display image based on the image. The mobile device displays an indicator overlaid over the display image on an indicator area of the display that overlaps with the portion of the display. The indicator may identify the position of the camera. The mobile device can compensate for occlusion of the camera by continuing to display a previous display image if a more recently captured image includes an occlusion. The mobile device can give users alternate ways to select areas of the display image to avoid camera occlusion, for instance using hardware buttons and/or touchscreen interface elements.

  • Patent number: 11983062
    Abstract: Systems and method for power control for a decoder are disclosed. In one aspect, a decoder for a communication bus is put into a sleep or low power mode when the bus is idle such as when blanking information is sent over a camera serial interface (CSI) bus. By alerting the decoder that there is an opportunity for low power operation, power consumption may be reduced and, particularly for battery operated mobile devices, a time to recharge metric may be improved, which improves the user experience.

  • Publication number: 20240048858
    Abstract: In an aspect, camera sensor component receives, during a multi-virtual channel (VC) configuration session, a first configuration of a first VC associated with a first binning mode (e.g., full, 4×4, 8×8, etc.) and a second configuration of a second VC, the second configuration associated with a second binning mode (e.g., full, 4×4, 8×8, etc.). The camera sensor component detects trigger(s) to initiate streaming of activity frames associated with the first VC and the second VC. In response to the trigger(s), the camera sensor component streams first activity frames associated with the first VC in accordance with the first binning mode, and streams second activity frames associated with the second VC in accordance with the second binning mode.
