  • Publication number: 20240080564
    Abstract: Electronic devices, methods, and program storage devices for achieving smooth zooming operations during video capture are disclosed. In particular, smooth zooming may be desirable during video capture operations that involve a single image capture device and/or transitioning between two or more distinct image capture devices, e.g., having different optical and/or zooming properties, during the video capture. When video zooming is done abruptly, it can lead to an unpleasant user experience. The techniques described herein to improve the smoothness of zooming operations include: the use of longer zoom “ramps” for image capture devices; the “early” transitioning between image capture devices during video capture; and the performance of additional “digital zoom smoothing-aware” video image stabilization operations. The embodiments described herein also provide for a more consistent user experience between video streaming (i.e., “preview”) modes and the recorded (i.e.

  • Patent number: 11914609
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for interconnecting a data lake and a relational database, including the following steps: S1: adding a data source class of a relational database to a data lake; S2: matching and using, by the data lake, a data source class of the relational database; and S3: determining and loading a corresponding driver according to the data source class, so as to connect the corresponding relational database. By cascading a data source registering configuration file, a relational database configuration file and a driver package catalog in a parameter passing method, when the data lake is started, a specific database to be used is designated unnecessarily, but a corresponding database is used directly. The configuration file is also traversed unnecessarily, but the user acquires configuration information as required in the parameter passing method.
