Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, and in particular to a camera module, a full-screen mobile terminal and an image processing method. Background Art

[0002] With the development of full-screen mobile terminals, full-screen phones are gradually appearing on full-screen mobile terminals, such as smart phones. Full-screen phones have advantages such as beautiful appearance and better visual experience, and are widely favored by consumers. Furthermore, most full-screen mobile terminals have a space at the bottom or top that is wider than the side, thereby providing space for the installation of the camera module.

[0003] However, although the full-screen mobile phone has increased the screen-to-body ratio, there will be no space to set up the front camera module on one side of the display. Since the front camera module can meet the needs of selfies and video calls, it is necessary to set up a front camera module in the full-screen mobile phone.

[0004] In the prior art, a flip-up or pop-up camera module structure is provided, but such a camera module is convex relative to the mobile phone body during use, so it is easy to collide and cause damage, which brings many inconveniences to the user during use. In addition, the prior art also sets the front camera in a hidden manner at the edge of the display screen, but the front camera can only shoot a narrow viewing angle, resulting in a narrow viewing angle for shooting. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a camera module that avoids damage and has a large shooting angle, a full-screen mobile terminal and an image processing method.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a camera module for a full-screen mobile terminal. The full-screen mobile terminal includes a body and a display screen arranged on the body. The camera module includes a first camera and a second camera, and the first camera and the second camera are both arranged on the same side of the body and exposed at the edge of the display screen.

[0007] The present invention also provides a full-screen mobile terminal, which includes a main body, a camera module as described above, a display screen and a protective layer, wherein the camera module and the display screen are both arranged on the main body, the camera module is exposedly arranged at the edge of the display screen, and the protective layer is arranged on the display screen and above the display screen.

[0008] The present invention further provides an image processing method based on the above camera module, which comprises the following steps:

[0009] Acquire first data captured by a first camera;

[0010] Acquire second data captured by a second camera;

[0011] The first data and the second data are synthesized to generate an image or a video.

[0012] The embodiment of the present invention provides a camera module applied to a full-screen mobile terminal, a full-screen mobile terminal and an image processing method based on the camera module. The camera module is applied to a full-screen mobile terminal. Since the camera module is exposed and arranged at the slit at the edge of the display screen, the camera can form an image at the slit and make up for the incomplete shooting angle caused by the narrow longitudinal space, thereby realizing functions such as selfies and video calls, and ensuring that the full-screen mobile terminal has a full-screen appearance, that is, the four frames of the full-screen mobile terminal are narrow, and it has no forehead and no chin. A plurality of cameras are arranged in the full-screen mobile terminal, so that the plurality of cameras can simultaneously shoot pictures of different perspectives, and then combine the captured data to generate an image or video with a larger perspective space. In addition, since the position of the camera module remains unchanged, the damage problem caused by the protrusion of the camera module is avoided, which is convenient for users to use.

Further, when used in this specification, the terms "include" and / or "comprise" indicate the presence of the features, wholes, steps, elements and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or increase of one or more other features, wholes, steps, elements, components and / or combinations thereof. The subsequent description of the specification is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the description is for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the definition of the attached claims.

[0032] Please also read Figure 1 and Figure 2 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of a full-screen mobile terminal provided by the first embodiment of the present invention. The full-screen mobile terminal 100 includes a body 10, a camera module 20, a display screen 30 and a protective layer 40. The camera module 20 and the display screen 30 are both fixedly arranged in the body 10, and the camera module 20 is exposed and arranged at the edge of the display screen 30, and the protective layer 40 is arranged above the camera module 20 and the display screen 30.

[0033] It is understandable that the full-screen mobile terminal 100 can be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet or a computer, and other electronic devices with a camera function are applicable to the present invention. Preferably, the full-screen mobile terminal 100 is a device with a front camera module to meet the needs of selfies and video calls. Since the full-screen mobile terminal 100 has the display screen 30 with four equally wide and extremely narrow frames, it provides the user with a larger screen visual experience. Furthermore, most of the front of the full-screen mobile terminal 100 of the present invention is a screen, and its four frames are extremely narrow. In the present embodiment, the full-screen mobile terminal 100 has no forehead and no chin, thereby providing the user with a larger screen visual experience.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 The camera module 20 includes a first camera 21 and a second camera 22. The first camera 21 and the second camera 22 are both arranged on the same side of the body 10, and the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 are both exposedly arranged at the edge of the display screen 30 to realize the functions of the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 such as shooting or video calling.

[0035] The first camera 21 and the second camera 22 are fixedly arranged inside the full-screen mobile terminal 100, so that the full-screen mobile terminal 100 can be designed as a full-screen. In this embodiment, the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 are hiddenly arranged on the body 10 of the full-screen mobile terminal 100.

[0036] It can be understood that the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 can be provided with a mounting structure to be fixedly or detachably connected to the body 10 of the full-screen mobile terminal 100. The mounting structure here is divided into a fixed connection part and / or a movable connection part. The fixed connection part is, for example, but not limited to a locking piece (such as a screw), so the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 can be fixedly set on the body 10 of the full-screen mobile terminal 100 through the fixed connection part. The movable connection part connection is, for example, but not limited to a sliding guide structure, a magnetic adsorption structure, etc., so the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 are detachably set on the body 10 of the full-screen mobile terminal 100 through the movable connection part. Optionally, the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 can also be fixedly set on the body 10 of the full-screen mobile terminal 100 by welding.

[0037] In this embodiment, a gap 101 is formed between the body 10 and the display screen 30 at the top of the full-screen mobile terminal 100, and the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 are located in the gap 101. The first camera 21 and the second camera 22 are staggered and arranged side by side, and the first camera 21 is close to the second camera 22, so that the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 can shoot different pictures from different perspectives.

[0038] Optionally, the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 are staggered in a direction perpendicular to the slit 101, so that the full-screen mobile terminal 100 has sufficient visual space in the horizontal and vertical directions of the slit 101, thereby enabling the full-screen mobile terminal 100 to generate a more complete image or video. The horizontal direction of the slit 101 refers to the length direction of the slit 101, and the vertical direction of the slit 101 refers to the length direction perpendicular to the slit 101.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first camera 21 is abutted against the second camera 22, and the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 are arranged in parallel, so that the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 can obtain images or videos with the same angle of shooting scenes, so that the full-screen mobile terminal 100 can combine the data shot by the first camera 21 and the data shot by the second camera 22 to generate a more complete image or video.

[0040] Please see Figures 3 to 6 , the first camera 21 includes a first receiving base 211, a first camera assembly 212, a first circuit board assembly 213 and a first image sensor (not shown). The first camera assembly 212 and the first image sensor are both received in the first receiving base 211, the first receiving base 211 is arranged on the first circuit board assembly 213, and the first image sensor is electrically connected to the first circuit board assembly 213. The first camera assembly 212 has imaging performance, thereby realizing the functions of the first camera 21 such as selfie and video call. In this embodiment, the first camera assembly 212 of the first camera 21 has a first light inlet 2121, the first image sensor 214 is located near the first light inlet 2121, and the first image sensor is used to capture image information and convert it into an electrical signal.

[0041] In this embodiment, the shape and structure of the second camera 22 are the same as those of the first camera 21, so the names of the components contained in the second camera 22, the positional relationship of the components, etc. can all refer to the first camera 21. It can be understood that since the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 have the same structure, that is, the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 have the same image sensor, the camera module 20 can generate images or video data with the same parameters such as brightness and color, thereby avoiding the parallax of the images or video data captured by the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 due to different parameters, thereby improving the comfort of users watching the images or videos generated by the camera module 20.

[0042] Please see again Figures 3 to 6In this embodiment, the second camera 22 includes a second receiving base 221, a second camera assembly 222, a second circuit board assembly 223 and a second image sensor (not shown). The second camera assembly 222 and the second image sensor are both received in the second receiving base 221, the second receiving base 221 is arranged on the second circuit board assembly 223, and the second image sensor is electrically connected to the second circuit board assembly 223. The second camera assembly 222 has imaging performance, thereby realizing the functions of the second camera 22 such as selfie and video call. In this embodiment, the second camera assembly 222 of the second camera 22 has a second light inlet 2221, the second image sensor is located near the second light inlet 2221, and the second image sensor is used to capture image information and convert it into an electrical signal.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the display screen 30 can be a flexible display screen or a non-flexible display screen. The display screen 30 has a first boundary 301 near the top of the full-screen mobile terminal 100. The first boundary 301 is a side close to the camera module 20. It can be understood that the display screen 30 can emit light of different colors by controlling it to display different pictures through software or hardware. When the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 of the camera module 20 are started, the full-screen mobile terminal 100 controls the display screen 30 to be black or other dark colors in the vicinity near the first boundary 301, so as to avoid the light emitted by the display screen 30 affecting the shooting effect of the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 of the camera module 20, so as to ensure that the shooting effect of the camera module 20 is better.

[0044] It can be understood that the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 can be exposedly arranged at other boundaries of the display screen 30 according to actual needs, for example, at a boundary close to the bottom of the full-screen mobile terminal 100 .

[0045] The center of the first light inlet 2121 of the first camera 21 and the center of the second light inlet 2221 of the second camera 22 are at different heights from the first boundary 301 of the display screen 30. In this embodiment, the height from the center of the first light inlet 2121 of the first camera 21 to the first boundary 301 of the display screen 30 is less than the height from the center of the second light inlet 2221 of the second camera 22 to the first boundary 301 of the display screen 30. A straight line connecting the centers of the first light inlet 2121 of the first camera 21 and the second light inlet 2221 of the second camera 22 forms an angle α with the first boundary 301 of the display screen 30 toward the second camera 22. The angle α is an acute angle, and the angle of the angle α is approximately 5-15 degrees, so that the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 can be hidden in the gap 101 formed between the display screen 30 and the body 10, and the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 can shoot a picture with a larger viewing angle.

[0046] It can be understood that in this embodiment, since the first camera 21 is arranged at a lower position of the first boundary 301 of the display screen 30, and the second camera 22 is arranged at an upper position of the first boundary 301 of the display screen 30, the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 can form vision at different angles. Further, since the gap 101 formed between the body 10 and the display screen 30 is horizontal, the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 have sufficient visual space in the horizontal direction to shoot different scenes. However, most of the viewing angle of the second camera 22 in the vertical direction is blocked by the display screen 30, thereby limiting the viewing angle space of the second camera 22 in the vertical direction. Therefore, by staggering the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 in the vertical direction, the first camera 21 further widens the vertical viewing angle space for the second camera 22, and then the full-screen mobile terminal 100 can combine the image or video data captured by the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 to generate an image or video with sufficient viewing angle space in both the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0047] Optionally, the second camera 22 is closer to the middle of the full-screen mobile terminal 100 than the first camera 21 , and the second camera 22 is located in an area near the first boundary 301 of the display screen 30 that is farther away from the first camera 21 .

[0048] In this embodiment, the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 are preferably front cameras. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 can also be rear cameras.

[0049] The full-screen mobile terminal 100 controls the first camera 21 and the camera 22 to perform shooting operations simultaneously, so that the same scene can be shot at the same time.

[0050] In this embodiment, the protective layer 40 is a glass protective layer, which is used to protect the display screen 30 from interference from the external environment and prevent dust and other impurities from entering the interior of the body 10 of the full-screen mobile terminal 100. The protective layer 40 is transparent.

[0051] Please see Figure 4 , at the same shooting point in the same direction (for example, the length direction of the gap 101), the angle δ of the optical path L1 of the first camera 21 relative to the first boundary 301 of the display screen 30 is greater than the angle ε of the optical path L2 of the second camera 22 relative to the first boundary 301 of the display screen 30. Therefore, when the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 are staggered, the first camera 21 can widen the viewing angle space of the second camera 22 in the longitudinal direction.

[0052] The embodiment of the present invention provides a camera module and a full-screen mobile terminal for a full-screen mobile terminal. The camera module of the present invention is applied to a full-screen mobile terminal. The camera module is exposed and arranged at a slit at the edge of the display screen, so that the camera can form an image at the slit and make up for the incomplete shooting angle caused by the narrow longitudinal space, thereby realizing functions such as Selfie and video call, and ensuring that the full-screen mobile terminal has a full-screen appearance, that is, the full-screen mobile terminal forms a full-screen with four extremely narrow frames, and the full-screen mobile terminal has no forehead and no chin. When the camera module shoots, the first camera and the second camera can work at the same time and shoot pictures of different perspectives, and then combine the captured data to generate an image or video with a larger viewing angle space, thereby solving the problem that the camera cannot capture a complete image or video due to the narrow shooting angle caused by the gap between the display screen and the body. In addition, since the position of the camera module remains unchanged, the damage problem caused by the bulge of the camera module is avoided, which is convenient for users to use.

[0053] See also Figure 7 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of a full-screen mobile terminal provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. The shape and structure of the full-screen mobile terminal 200 in the second embodiment are substantially the same as those of the full-screen mobile terminal 100 in the first embodiment. The difference is that the camera module 20a of the full-screen mobile terminal 200 further includes a third camera 23.

[0054] In this embodiment, the third camera 23 and the first camera 21 are symmetrically distributed with respect to the second camera 22. It can be understood that since the third camera 23 and the first camera 21 are symmetrically distributed, the image or video data acquired by the third camera 23 can be used to correct the image or video data acquired by the first camera 21, so that the full-screen mobile terminal 100 can generate a complete image or video.

[0055] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the shape and structure of the third camera 23 are the same as those of the first camera 21. Therefore, the names of the components included in the third camera 23, the position relationships of the components, etc. can all refer to the first camera 21 and will not be repeated here.

[0056] Please also read Figures 8 to 9 , is a structural schematic diagram of a full-screen mobile terminal provided in the third embodiment of the present invention. The shape and structure of the full-screen mobile terminal 300 in the third embodiment are substantially the same as those of the full-screen mobile terminal 100 in the first embodiment. The difference is that the first camera 21b and the second camera 22b of the camera module 20b in the third embodiment are arranged in a manner different from the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 in the first embodiment. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first camera 21b has a first center line X, and the second camera 22b has a second center line Y. An angle is formed between the first center line X and the second center line Y, that is, the first center line X is not parallel to the second center line Y, so that the first camera 21b and the second camera 22b have different shooting angles. The first center line X refers to a first direction perpendicular to the first light inlet 2121b of the first camera 21b, and the second center line Y refers to a second direction perpendicular to the second light inlet 2221b of the second camera 22b. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first center line X may also be parallel to the second center line Y.

[0057] Please also read Figure 10 to Figure 11 In this embodiment, the camera module 20b further includes a limit seat 201b. The limit seat 201b is fixedly disposed on the body 10 of the full-screen mobile terminal 300. The limit seat 201b includes a first limit seat 210b and a second limit seat 220b, and the first limit seat 210b and the second limit seat 220b respectively limit the first camera 21b and the second camera 22b to preset positions in the body 10.

[0058] It can be understood that in the present embodiment, the first limit seat 210b and the second limit seat 220b are integrally formed. In other embodiments, the first limit seat 210b and the second limit seat 220b are respectively independent monomers, and the first limit seat 210b and the second limit seat 220b abut against each other. The first limit seat 210b and the second limit seat 220b can be fixedly arranged on the body 10 by the mounting structure described in the first embodiment. The limit seat 201b has a smooth first surface 2011b and an irregular second surface 2012b. The first surface 2011b of the limit seat 201b is formed on the upper surface of the body 10. The second surface 2012b of the limit seat 201b is used to support the first camera 21b and the second camera 22b.

[0059] The first position limiting seat 210b is provided with a first slope 2101b on a side close to the first camera 21b. The first slope 2101b has a first inclined slope surface 2102b, and the first inclined slope surface 2102b forms an angle β with the bottom surface 2011b of the position limiting seat 201b, and the angle β is an acute angle.

[0060] In the present embodiment, the shape and structure of the first limit seat 210b are the same as the shape and structure of the second limit seat 220b, so the names of the components contained in the second limit seat 220b, the positional relationship of the components, etc. can all refer to the first limit seat 220b, and will not be repeated here. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the shape and structure of the first limit seat 210b and the shape and structure of the second limit seat 220b can be designed to be different to meet the actual needs of the position setting of different cameras. In the present embodiment, the second slope 2201b has a second inclined slope surface 2202b, and the second inclined slope surface 2202b forms an angle β with the bottom surface 2011b of the limit seat 201b, and the angle β is an acute angle.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first limiting seat 210b and the second limiting seat 220b are arranged side by side and in parallel, and the first slope 2101b of the first limiting seat 210b and the second slope 2201b of the second limiting seat 220b are arranged opposite to each other, so as to limit the first camera 21b to be staggered relative to the second camera 22b, thereby achieving an angled manner to widen the front viewing angle of the full-screen mobile terminal 100. In other words, the first slope 2101b of the first limiting seat 210b and the second slope 2201b of the second limiting seat 220b are inclined in opposite directions.

[0062] The first camera 21b includes a first receiving base 211b, a first camera assembly 212b, a first circuit board assembly 213b and a first image sensor (not shown).

The first circuit board assembly 213b includes a first connecting portion 2131b, a first limiting portion 2132b and a first mounting portion 2133b. The first limiting portion 2132b extends vertically upward from one end of the first connecting portion 2131b, and the first mounting portion 2133b extends vertically outward from one end of the first limiting portion 2132b away from the first connecting portion 2131b. A first positioning block 2134b is convexly provided on one side of the middle portion of the first mounting portion 2133b away from the first limiting portion 2132b, and the first positioning block 2134b of the first mounting portion 2133b matches the first positioning groove 2111b of the first receiving base 211b. The first limiting portion 2132b and the first mounting portion 2133b are surrounded to form a limiting groove 2135b. The limiting groove 2135b matches the first slope 2101b of the first limiting seat 210b.

[0065] In this embodiment, the second camera assembly 222b is arranged above the second receiving base 221b, the second circuit board assembly 223b is arranged below the second receiving base 221b, and the second camera assembly 222b is fixedly connected to the second limiting seat 220b through the second circuit board assembly 223b. A second positioning groove 2211b is provided at the bottom of the second receiving base 221b. The second circuit board assembly 223b includes a second connecting portion 2231b and a second mounting portion 2232b. An angle γ is formed between the second connecting portion 2231b and the second mounting portion 2232b, and the angle γ is an obtuse angle. Among them, the angle β is complementary to the angle γ, so that the second camera 22b is tilted and stably arranged on the second slope 2201b of the second limiting seat 220b. A second positioning block 2233b is protruded from the middle of the second mounting portion 2232b, and the second positioning block 2233b of the second mounting portion 2232b matches with the second positioning groove 2211b of the second receiving base 221b. The side of the second mounting portion 2232b facing away from the second positioning block 2233b is attached to the second inclined slope 2202b of the second limiting seat 220b, and the second connecting portion 2231b is disposed on the body 10.

[0066] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the first receiving base 211b and the first limiting seat 210b can be connected to the first circuit board assembly 213b through a connector or welding, and the second receiving base 221b and the second limiting seat 220b can also be connected to the second circuit board assembly 223b through a connector or welding.

[0067] like Fig.12, which is a schematic diagram of the optical path structure of the fourth camera of a full-screen mobile terminal provided by the fourth embodiment of the present invention. The fourth camera 24 in the fourth embodiment is basically similar to the structure of the first camera 21 in the first embodiment, so the shape, size and position connection relationship of each element of the fourth camera 24 can refer to the first camera 21 in the first embodiment. The difference is that the fourth camera 24 also includes a plurality of prisms 245. The fourth camera 24 includes a lens assembly (not shown) having a fourth light inlet hole 2421 and the fourth image sensor 244. The plurality of prisms 245 are arranged on the propagation path of the light. In this embodiment, the plurality of prisms 245 are arranged between the fourth light inlet hole 2421 and the fourth image sensor 244. It can be understood that the fourth camera 24 of the fourth embodiment of the present invention is designed as a periscope-like structure, so that the fourth camera 24 is hidden in the body 10 of the full-screen mobile terminal 100, and it can ensure that the fourth camera 24 performs functions such as shooting and video calls.

[0068] It can be understood that since the gap formed between the main body 10 and the display screen 30 is too narrow, when the camera module 20 has multiple cameras and when the multiple cameras are not facing the front of the full-screen mobile terminal 100, the fourth camera 24 can be used and the fourth camera 24 can be hidden inside the full-screen mobile terminal 100, that is, the multiple cameras 24 of the camera module 20 can adopt periscope mode for imaging.

[0069] See also Fig.13 , is a flow chart of a first image processing method based on the above-mentioned camera module provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Fig.13 As shown, the image processing method based on the above camera module 20 may include the following steps:

[0070] Step 101, obtaining first data captured by the first camera 21;

[0071] Step 102, obtaining second data captured by the second camera 22;

[0072] Step 103: synthesize the first data and the second data to generate an image or a video.

[0073] The first camera 21 and the second camera 22 shoot at the same time, so that the images of the same scene at the same time can be obtained. It can be understood that since the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 are staggered and arranged closely, the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 can obtain images of the same scene from different perspectives.

[0074] Specifically, the first camera 21 captures first data in a viewing angle space in a first direction, and the second camera 22 captures second data in a viewing angle space in a second direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, the first direction refers to a length direction perpendicular to the gap 101, and the second direction refers to a length direction parallel to the gap 101. Furthermore, since the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 are arranged closely together, the first camera 21 can widen the viewing angle space of the second camera 22 in the second direction, and then the camera module 20 can synthesize an image or video having viewing angle spaces in both the first direction and the second direction.

[0075] In a specific embodiment, the viewing angle captured by the first camera 21 and the viewing angle captured by the second camera 22 at least partially overlap. In this embodiment, the visual range captured by the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 overlap at a preset angle. Therefore, the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 capture images of the same scene from different viewing angles, so that the full-screen mobile terminal 100 can combine the first data captured by the first camera 21 and the second data captured by the second camera 22 to obtain an image or video with a larger viewing angle range.

[0076] See also Fig.14 , is a flow chart of a second image processing method based on the above camera module provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The image processing method based on the above camera module 20 comprises the following steps:

[0077] Step 201, obtaining first data captured by the first camera 21;

[0078] Step 202, obtaining second data captured by the second camera 22;

[0079] Step 203, reading first characteristic information of the first data;

[0080] Step 204, reading the second characteristic information of the second data;

[0081] The first camera 21 and the second camera 22 both shoot at the same time, so that images of the same scene at the same time can be obtained. In addition, since the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 are arranged side by side in the full-screen mobile terminal 100 and staggered, images of different perspectives can be obtained.

[0082] Step 205, verifying whether the first characteristic information matches the second characteristic information;

[0083] Among them, when the first feature information of the first data matches the second feature information, the image or video corresponding to the first feature information is the same as the image or video corresponding to the second feature information; when the first feature information of the first data does not match the second feature information, the image or video corresponding to the first feature information is different from the image or video corresponding to the second feature information.

[0084] Step 206: If not, combine the first feature information and the second feature information, and generate an image or video corresponding to the first feature information and the second feature information respectively.

[0085] Specifically, the first camera 21 captures first data in a viewing angle space in a first direction, and the second camera 22 captures second data in a viewing angle space in a second direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, the first direction refers to a length direction perpendicular to the gap 101, and the second direction refers to a length direction parallel to the gap 101. Furthermore, since the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 are arranged closely together, the first camera 21 can widen the viewing angle space of the second camera 22 in the second direction, and then the camera module 20 can synthesize an image or video having viewing angle spaces in both the first direction and the second direction.

[0086] Step 207: If yes, generate an image or video corresponding to the first feature information or the second feature information.

[0087] See also Fig.15 , is a flowchart of a third image processing method based on the above camera module provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The image processing method based on the above camera module 20 comprises the following steps:

[0088] Step 301, obtaining first data captured by a first camera;

[0089] Step 302, obtaining second data captured by a second camera;

[0090] Step 303, reading first characteristic information of the first data;

[0091] Step 304, reading the second characteristic information of the second data;

[0092] Step 305, obtaining third data from the third camera, and reading third feature information of the third data;

[0093] Step 306, correcting the first characteristic information of the first data according to the third characteristic information;

[0094] The first camera 21, the second camera 22 and the third camera 23 are all shooting at the same time, so that the pictures of the same scene at the same time can be obtained. In addition, since the first camera 21, the second camera 22 and the third camera 23 are arranged side by side in the full-screen mobile terminal 100 and staggered, pictures of different perspectives can be obtained.

[0095] It can be understood that, since the first camera 21 and the third camera 23 are symmetrically distributed from the second camera 22, the first camera 21 and the third camera 23 can both obtain scene images with a viewing angle perpendicular to the length direction of the gap 101. Furthermore, since the third camera 23 is closer to the middle of the full-screen mobile terminal 100 than the second camera 22, the third feature information obtained by the third camera 23 can be used to correct the first feature information of the first data to ensure that the image or video finally obtained by the full-screen mobile terminal 100 is more complete.

[0096] Step 307, verifying whether the corrected first feature information matches the second feature information;

[0097] Step 308: If not, combine the corrected first feature information and the second feature information, and generate images or videos corresponding to the corrected first feature information and the second feature information, respectively.

[0098] Step 309: If yes, generate an image or video corresponding to the corrected first feature information or the second feature information.

[0099] It can be understood that the camera modules of the first to fourth embodiments are all applicable to the image processing methods of the first to third embodiments.

[0100] In an embodiment of the present invention, the multiple cameras of the camera module are arranged side by side and staggered, and the full-screen mobile terminal controls the multiple cameras to shoot simultaneously, so that these cameras can capture the same scene at the same time and obtain image or video data from different perspectives. The full-screen mobile terminal combines these images or video data from different perspectives to generate an image or video with a larger perspective space. Furthermore, at least one camera arranged in parallel and aligned can be used to correct the image or video data obtained by another camera, so that the image finally obtained by the full-screen mobile terminal can reduce the existing parallax, thereby improving the comfort of the user viewing the final generated image or video.

[0101] The above implementations do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the technical solution. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the above implementations should be included in the protection scope of the technical solution.
