  • Publication number: 20060251411
    Abstract: A wireless communication terminal having a function of automatically controlling an intensity of radiation of a flash, and a method thereof are disclosed. The wireless communication terminal includes: a camera module for capturing an image of a subject through an auto-focusing function; a controller for outputting a charge control signal corresponding to a focus distance value of a focusing lens that gives the maximum sharpness of an image based on calculation in the camera module, and transferring an activation signal according to an image signal; a power supply for supplying electric power according to the charge control signal to the controller; and a light emitting unit for producing an instantaneous flash of light according to the activation signal from the controller by receiving the electric power from the power supply.

  • Publication number: 20060125929
    Abstract: A wireless communication terminal having a function for automatically controlling a flash and a method thereof are disclosed. The wireless communication terminal includes: an image capturing unit for obtaining an image of an object in real-time, converting the obtained image to an electric image signal, and automatically controlling a gain according to brightness of the electric image signal; an input unit for receiving an image capturing signal; a controller for confirming a gain value of an image signal which is automatically controlled in the image capturing unit when the image capturing signal is inputted through the input unit, comparing the confirmed gain value of the image signal with a predetermined threshold value, and generating a control signal according to the comparison signal; and a light emitting unit for emitting light in response to the control signal from the controller.
