Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a video input system using a camera of a mobile phone as an external device and an external camera and a realization method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, mobile phones have gradually become an inseparable daily necessities for the masses, and mobile phone cameras have gradually become an essential component of mobile phones. [0003] Mobile phone cameras are divided into built-in cameras and external cameras. The built-in camera means that the camera is integrated inside the phone, which is more convenient to use. The external camera is connected to the camera through a data cable. With the development of camera components, the volume is smaller, the weight is lighter, and the pixels are higher, so the internal camera of the mobile phone has become the mainstream trend, and the use of external cameras is less and less. [0004] On the other hand, computers (including desktop computers and notebook compute...
