Problems solved by technology

However, due to the multiplicity of device functions, the complexity of the user interface, and even its three-dimensional nature, such forms of control are not at all (at least not yet) easy to achieve usability
In the implementations described above, there is no (or no) smooth input of information into the device without the use of fingers, to activate device functions, or to control more complex applications.
Also, the use of acceleration / orientation sensors may not only complicate the device, but also cause problems at the hardware level
The application of the camera device may also reduce the accuracy of the cursor indication

Embodiment Construction

[0040] Today, many electronic devices 10 include a graphical operating system (GUI, Graphical User Interface). In the context of the present invention, electronic device 10 may be understood as, for example, a mobile station, or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) device or a palm-type device in the form of a "smart communicator". The device 10 may also be understood as a digital camera device, a portable game console, or generally an electronic device equipped or capable of being equipped with a digital imaging functional unit. Therefore, the concept of "electronic device" can be understood very broadly. In the following, the present invention will be elucidated in connection with a mobile station 10 equipped with a camera as an example.

[0041] Figures 1a and 1b illustrate an example of a user interface GUI presented on the display 11 of the device 10, from which user interface GUI the operating system of the device 10, and thus the functions of the device 10, can be contro...

Abstract

Electronic device, comprising a first camera on a first side of the electronic device, the first camera arranged to form first sequential image frames; a second camera on a second side of the electronic device, the second camera arranged to form second sequential image frames; memory including program code; a processor; the memory and the program code being configured to, with the processor, cause the electronic device to: segment each of the first and the second sequential image frames into segments; determine at least one fixed point from the image frame segments; define at least one movement vector, for the determined at least one fixed point, based at least in part on a comparison of at least some of the sequential image frames; determine a change relative to the at least one selected fixed point based on the movement vector; and control a function of the electronic device based on the determined change.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electronic device comprising, [0002] - a display assembly in which at least one integrally visible controllable element is arranged, the control of which element is configured on the basis of determining the attitude of the device relative to at least one selected fixed point or position-related changes, and [0003] - camera means for forming image frames, [0004] And, in the electronic device, in order to control the function of the device, such as controlling the element, the change is determined from the image frame formed by the camera by using an optical data flow algorithm, wherein the image The frames are compared with each other in a set manner, and based on the comparison, the change is determined. In addition, the present invention also relates to a corresponding method, and a program product for implementing the method in an electronic device. Background technique [0005] Today, highly developed u...
