  • Patent number: 11942451
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a functional die, a dummy die, a redistribution structure, a seal ring and an alignment mark. The dummy die is electrically isolated from the functional die. The redistribution structure is disposed over and electrically connected to the functional die. The seal ring is disposed over the dummy die. The alignment mark is between the seal ring and the redistribution structure, wherein the alignment mark is electrically isolated from the dummy die, the redistribution structure and the seal ring. The insulating layer encapsulates the functional die and the dummy die.

  • Patent number: 9699390
    Abstract: A controlling method, suitable for a first camera unit and a second camera unit, is disclosed herein. The controlling method include following steps. The first camera unit is triggered to generate a first media data by shooting a first image or recording a first video. In response to the first media data is generated, the second camera unit is automatically triggered to generate a second media data by shooting a second image or recording a second video. The first media data and the second media data are configured to be integrated into a third media data.

  • Patent number: 9578239
    Abstract: A controlling method suitable for an electronic apparatus is disclosed. The electronic apparatus includes a camera module and a switch button. The controlling method includes following steps. A holding duration is measured started from a first time point when the switch button is pressed down. In response to the holding duration ends within a first threshold period, a singular image is generated. In response to the holding duration exceeds the first threshold period and ends within a second threshold period from the first time point, a series of burst images during the holding duration is generated. In response to the holding duration exceeds the second threshold period, a series of burst images during the second threshold period is generated, and also a video is generated.

  • Patent number: 9571725
    Abstract: An electronic device and an image capture method thereof are disclosed herein. The image capture method is suitable for an electronic apparatus including an image capture unit. The image capture method includes steps of: providing a first preview image by the image capture unit; detecting a first facial expression from the first preview image; providing a second preview image by the image capture unit after the first preview image; detecting the second facial expression from the second preview image; determining whether the second facial expression is matched to the first facial expression; and, automatically generating a second target image in response to the second facial expression is not matched to the first facial expression.

  • Patent number: 9270889
    Abstract: An electronic device and a camera switching method thereon are provided. The electronic device includes a first camera module, a second camera module, a touch screen and a processor. The touch screen is configured to detect a touch event, wherein the touch event is triggered as the touch screen is touched and dragged from a first position to a second position. The processor is configured to switch between the first camera module and the second camera module in response to the touch event. The camera switching method is applied to the electronic device to implement the operations.
