Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of photography technology, specifically relating to a camera module and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, electronic devices (such as smartphones and tablets) have become indispensable products in people's lives. Photography functions have become a standard feature of electronic devices. However, with the gradual popularization of various mixed reality devices, 3D (3D stereoscopic) imaging has gradually become a major highlight of photography on mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices.

[0003] In related technologies, electronic devices can achieve 3D shooting by coordinating the work of multiple camera modules. 3D shooting involves multiple camera modules shooting the same scene separately, and then generating a 3D image through software algorithms.

[0004] However, electronic devices are typically equipped with various camera modules with different field of view and focal lengths, such as ultra-wide-angle camera modules, main camera modules, and telephoto camera modules. Because of the significant differences in field of view and focal length among ultra-wide-angle, main camera, and telephoto camera modules, the resolution of the image decreases when the electronic device generates 3D video, resulting in poor quality 3D video. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a camera module, shooting method, and electronic device that can improve the image resolution of 3D videos, thereby improving the shooting effect of 3D videos.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a camera module, including a module housing, a first lens section, a second lens section, a photosensitive device, a light guide assembly, and a driving mechanism; The first lens portion, the second lens portion, the photosensitive device, the light guide assembly, and the driving mechanism are all disposed on the module housing; the first lens portion, the second lens portion, and the photosensitive device are located on the same side of the light guide assembly, and the photosensitive device is located between the first lens portion and the second lens portion; The light guide assembly includes a first reflector, a second reflector, and a third reflector. The first reflector is disposed corresponding to the first lens portion, the second reflector is disposed corresponding to the second lens portion, and the third reflector is disposed corresponding to the photosensitive device. The third reflector is located between the first reflector and the second reflector. Light collected by the first lens portion is reflected by the first reflector and the third reflector and then directed to the photosensitive device. Light collected by the second lens portion is reflected by the second reflector and the third reflector and then directed to the photosensitive device. The driving mechanism is connected to the third reflector, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the third reflector to move along the arrangement direction of the first reflector and the second reflector.

[0007] In this embodiment, during 3D video recording, a third reflector is driven by a driving mechanism to move between the first and second reflectors. This allows the field of view and focal length of the first and second lenses to be adjusted to be identical. Since the field of view and focal length of both lenses are the same, the video image generated by the photosensitive device through the first lens has the same field of view and focal length as the video image generated through the second lens. This improves the resolution of the generated 3D video and thus enhances its quality. Therefore, the camera module disclosed in this application improves the 3D video recording effect of electronic devices.

[0008] Optionally, the camera module further includes a first light control element and a second light control element, wherein the first light control element is located between the first reflector and the first lens portion, and the second light control element is located between the second reflector and the second lens portion; Both the first light control element and the second light control element have a light-blocking state and a light-transmitting state; in the light-blocking state, the first light control element and the second light control element block light from passing through; in the light-transmitting state, the first light control element and the second light control element allow light to pass through.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, by controlling the first light control element and the second light control element to switch between a light-blocking state and a light-transmitting state, the application scenarios of the camera module can be improved, thereby enhancing the performance of the camera module.

[0010] Optionally, both the first light-controlling element and the second light-controlling element are electrochromic elements.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the switching of voltage can realize the switching between the first light control element and the second light control element in the light-blocking state and the light-transmitting state, thus making the space occupied by the first light control element and the second light control element smaller, which is conducive to the miniaturization and thinning of the camera module.

[0012] Optionally, the third reflector has a first reflective surface and a second reflective surface disposed opposite to each other, the first reflective surface facing the first reflector and the second reflective surface facing the second reflector; The light collected by the first lens is reflected by the first reflector and the first reflective surface and then directed toward the photosensitive device; the light collected by the second lens is reflected by the second reflector and the second reflective surface and then directed toward the photosensitive device.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the first lens, the first reflector, and the first reflective surface form one optical path; the second lens, the second reflector, and the second reflective surface form another optical path. Therefore, the light entering through the first lens is less likely to affect the imaging of the light entering through the second lens, and the light entering through the second lens is also less likely to affect the imaging of the light entering through the first lens, thus further improving the imaging quality of the camera module.

[0014] Optionally, the photosensitive device includes a first photosensitive sensor and a second photosensitive sensor, which are arranged side by side along the arrangement direction of the first lens portion and the second lens portion, and are used to receive light reflected from at least one of the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface.

[0016] Optionally, the light guide assembly further includes a support bracket, the third reflector is fixed on the support bracket, the driving mechanism is connected to the support bracket, the driving mechanism drives the third reflector to move through the support bracket, the module housing is provided with a guide member, and the support bracket and the guide member are guided and cooperated along the moving direction of the third reflector.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the support bracket and the guide member cooperate to accurately guide the movement direction of the third reflector, thereby improving the accuracy of light transmission, avoiding the risk of image defocusing caused by light swaying, and thus improving the shooting effect of the camera module.

[0018] Optionally, the supporting bracket has a guide groove on the side opposite to the third reflector. The extension direction of the guide groove is parallel to the movement direction of the third reflector. A portion of the guide is located within the guide groove, and the guide slides in conjunction with the guide groove.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the guiding function of the support bracket and the guide member can be realized, while the stacking thickness of the support bracket and the guide member can be reduced, thereby helping to reduce the thickness of the camera module and thus realizing the development of a thinner and lighter camera module.

[0020] Optionally, one of the support bracket and the module housing is provided with a magnetic element, and the other is provided with a magnetic attraction element. The support bracket and the module housing are attracted to each other by the magnetic element and the magnetic attraction element, and the magnetic attraction direction of the magnetic element and the magnetic attraction element is parallel to the arrangement direction of the support bracket and the guide element.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the magnetic attraction of the magnetic components and magnetic suction components enables a reliable connection between the support bracket and the module housing without affecting the movement of the support bracket. This avoids the risk of the support bracket detaching from the guide component, thus further improving the safety and reliability of the module housing.

Simultaneously, the drive magnet itself, in addition to providing the driving force, also has a holding force, fixing the third reflector in its initial position when there is no current, preventing it from shaking.

The first lens body is movably disposed on the first housing. The first driving member is disposed on the first housing and connected to the first lens body. The first driving member is used to drive the first lens body to move relative to the first housing.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, the first driving member can drive the first lens body to move, thereby adjusting the focal length of the first lens and compensating for the shake of the camera module, thereby achieving image stabilization and improving the shooting performance of the camera module.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, the inner shell can be specifically adapted to the precision mounting requirements of optical components, while the outer shell undertakes external functions such as mechanical connection, protection, and heat dissipation for the entire device. Therefore, the module shell in this application can meet both the precision assembly requirements of optical components and the overall strength and heat dissipation requirements, thereby reducing the design difficulty of a single shell meeting multiple requirements simultaneously.

[0032] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, including a device housing and the aforementioned camera module, wherein the camera module is disposed within the device housing.

[0033] In this embodiment, during 3D video shooting, a third reflector is driven by a driving mechanism to move between the first and second reflectors, thereby adjusting the field of view and focal length of the first and second lens sections to be the same. At this time, the field of view and focal length of both the first and second lens sections are identical. Therefore, during 3D video shooting, the video image generated by the photosensitive device through the first lens section has the same field of view and focal length as the video image generated through the second lens section. This improves the resolution of the generated 3D video image, thus enhancing the quality of the 3D video.

A first video is generated by acquiring multiple consecutive images captured by the photosensitive device through the first lens, and a second video is generated by acquiring multiple consecutive images captured by the second lens. A 3D video is generated based on the first video and the second video.

[0034] In some embodiments of this application, during 3D video shooting, the field of view and focal length of the video image generated by the photosensitive device 140 through the first lens section 120 and the video image generated through the second lens section 130 are the same. This ensures consistent depth of field and resolution during 3D video shooting, thereby improving the resolution of the generated 3D video and ultimately enhancing the quality of the 3D video. Therefore, the camera module 100 disclosed in this application is beneficial for improving the 3D video shooting effect of electronic devices.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, the shooting mode input can serve as a preprocessing instruction, allowing the ISP and backend algorithm to directly call the corresponding preset parameter set. This avoids indiscriminate processing by general algorithms and significantly improves the upper limit of image quality in specific scenarios. Simultaneously, it enables targeted allocation of algorithm resources, reducing redundant computing power consumption and balancing processing efficiency with power consumption control.

Detailed Implementation

[0054] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0055] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be used interchangeably where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0056] The camera module, shooting method, and electronic device provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0057] Please refer to Figures 1 to 15 This application discloses a camera module 100, which is used in electronic devices. The disclosed camera module 100 includes a module housing 110, a first lens portion 120, a second lens portion 130, a photosensitive device 140, a light guide assembly 150, and a driving mechanism 160.

[0058] The module housing 110 provides a mounting base for the other components of the camera module 100. The first lens section 120, the second lens section 130, the photosensitive device 140, the light guide assembly 150, and the drive mechanism 160 are all mounted on the module housing 110. The first lens section 120 and the second lens section 130 are optical imaging components composed of lenses, used by the camera module 100 to capture images. The photosensitive device 140 is used to receive light signals and can convert the light signals into image information. The light guide assembly 150 achieves its light-guiding function by changing the direction of light transmission within the camera module 100.

[0059] Specifically, the first lens portion 120, the second lens portion 130, and the photosensitive device 140 are located on the same side of the light guide assembly 150, with the photosensitive device 140 positioned between the first lens portion 120 and the second lens portion 130. This can be understood as the first lens portion 120, the second lens portion 130, and the photosensitive device 140 being arranged at intervals along a first direction of the camera module 100. The first direction is as follows: Figure 2 As shown on the X-axis. At least one of the first lens portion 120, the second lens portion 130, and the photosensitive device 140 is arranged at intervals from the light guide assembly 150 along the second direction of the camera module 100. The second direction is as follows: Figure 2As shown on the Y-axis, the first direction intersects with the second direction. For example, the first lens portion 120, the second lens portion 130, and the photosensitive device 140 can be arranged along the length or width direction of the camera module 100. At least one of the first lens portion 120, the second lens portion 130, and the photosensitive device 140, along with the light guide assembly 150, can be arranged along the height direction of the camera module 100. The photosensitive surface of the photosensitive device 140 faces the light guide assembly 150, so that the light guide assembly 150 can reflect light onto the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive device 140.

[0060] The light guide assembly 150 includes a first reflector 151, a second reflector 152, and a third reflector 153. The first reflector 151 is correspondingly disposed with respect to the first lens section 120, the second reflector 152 is correspondingly disposed with respect to the second lens section 130, and the third reflector 153 is correspondingly disposed with respect to the photosensitive device 140. The third reflector 153 is located between the first reflector 151 and the second reflector 152. In this case, the arrangement direction of the first reflector 151, the second reflector 152, and the third reflector 153 can be the same as the arrangement direction of the first lens section 120, the second lens section 130, and the photosensitive device 140. Therefore, the first reflector 151, the second reflector 152, and the third reflector 153 can be arranged along the aforementioned first direction.

[0061] like Figure 2 The dashed lines A and B in the diagram represent the light transmission path. As shown by dashed line A, the light collected by the first lens 120 is reflected by the first reflector 151 and the third reflector 153 before reaching the photosensitive device 140. At this time, the focal length of the light path formed by the first lens 120, the first reflector 151, and the third reflector 153 is the first focal length. Figure 2 The light transmission path shown by the dashed line B is such that the light collected by the second lens unit 130 is reflected by the second reflector 152 and the third reflector 153 and then directed towards the photosensitive device 140. At this time, the focal length of the light path formed by the second lens unit 130, the first reflector 151, and the third reflector 153 is the second focal length.

[0062] The first lens unit 120, the first reflector 151, and the third reflector 153 can simulate the image from the left eye's perspective, while the second lens unit 130, the second reflector 152, and the third reflector 153 can simulate the image from the right eye's perspective. Since the first lens unit 120 and the second lens unit 130 are arranged along a first direction, the baseline distance between them can simulate the distance between the left and right eyes. Therefore, the first lens unit 120 and the second lens unit 130 can shape the same scene to form left and right fields of view with a baseline difference.

[0063] The drive mechanism 160 is connected to the third reflector 153, and the drive mechanism 160 is used to drive the third reflector 153 to move along the arrangement direction of the first reflector 151 and the second reflector 152. By driving the third reflector 153 to move, the first focal length and the second focal length can be adjusted.

[0064] In some embodiments of this application, during 3D video shooting, the third reflector 153 is driven by the drive mechanism 160 to move between the first reflector 151 and the second reflector 152, thereby adjusting the field of view and focal length of the first lens section 120 and the second lens section 130 to be the same, i.e., the first focal length and the second focal length are the same. At this time, the field of view and focal length of the first lens section 120 and the second lens section 130 are the same, so that the first lens section 120 and the second lens section 130 can image the same scene to form a left and right field of view with a baseline difference.

[0065] Therefore, in the embodiments disclosed in this application, during 3D video shooting, the field of view and focal length of the video image generated by the photosensitive device 140 through the first lens section 120 and the video image generated through the second lens section 130 are the same. This ensures consistent depth of field and resolution during 3D video shooting, thereby improving the resolution of the image when generating 3D video and ultimately enhancing the quality of the 3D video. Therefore, the camera module 100 disclosed in this application is beneficial for improving the 3D video shooting effect of electronic devices.

[0066] The camera module 100 in this application is capable of capturing 3D video on its own, thus helping to meet the demand for high-quality 3D video shooting in smaller spaces. Therefore, the camera module 100 disclosed in this application can still achieve high-level 3D video shooting under limited space and cost conditions, meeting the market's higher requirements for 3D video imaging effects.

[0067] Furthermore, since the ultra-wide-angle camera module, the main camera module, and the telephoto camera module use different types of photosensitive devices, the colors, pixel sizes, and dynamic ranges of the captured images also differ. However, the camera module 100 in this application uses the same photosensitive device 140 to receive light from both lenses, thus ensuring consistent image color, pixel size, and dynamic range, which further enhances the 3D video shooting effect.

[0068] Furthermore, the technical solutions in the background art require multiple camera modules 100 of different types to perform image fusion, thereby increasing the complexity of multi-camera systems when fusing images. In contrast, the camera module 100 disclosed in this application can obtain left and right eye images that only exhibit parallax, thus helping to reduce the complexity of image fusion.

[0069] In the embodiments disclosed in this application, the first focal length and the second focal length can be adjusted by driving the third reflector 153 to move. During 3D video recording, the third reflector 153 is first moved to a position where the first and second focal lengths are equal via the drive mechanism 160. Therefore, driving the third reflector 153 to move eliminates the defect of different first and second focal lengths caused by assembly errors in the camera module 100, thereby ensuring that the field of view and focal length of the images acquired by the first lens unit 120 and the images acquired by the second lens unit 130 are the same.

[0070] In one shooting scheme, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control drive mechanism 160 drives the third reflector 153 to move to the target position, so that the photosensitive device 140 simultaneously receives the light collected by the first lens section 120 and the second lens section 130. The target position here refers to the moving position of the third reflector 153 when the camera module 100 is taking a picture. It can also be understood as adjusting the first focal length and the second focal length of the camera module 100 to the target focal length. Therefore, the drive mechanism 160 can adjust the relationship between the first focal length and the second focal length by adjusting the position of the third reflector 153 between the first reflector 151 and the second reflector 152. The target position corresponding to the third reflector 153 is different in different operating states.

[0071] For example, in Figure 2 In the operating state shown, when the third reflector 153 is in the target position, the first focal length and the second focal length are the same.

[0072] Here, the drive mechanism 160 can move the third reflector 153 to a fixed position where the first focal length and the second focal length are equal. For example, the third reflector 153 is located between the first reflector 151 and the second reflector 152. Of course, the position where the first focal length and the second focal length are equal is not limited to the position between the first reflector 151 and the second reflector 152, but can be other positions. This embodiment of the application does not impose any limitations.

[0073] This can be understood as the third reflector 153 moving to the target position before taking the picture. The third reflector 153 remains fixed at the target position throughout the entire shooting process. At this time, with the third reflector 153 in the target position, the first lens 120 captures images as shown in the image. Figure 11 The left view image sequence 510 shown is acquired by the second lens unit 130. Figure 11 The right view image sequence 520 shown here represents the first video (left view image sequence 510), and the right view image sequence 520 represents the second video. A 3D video can be generated from the first and second videos. Of course, corresponding single images on the left and right sides can also be used to generate depth images.

[0074] like Figure 2 In the illustrated scheme, the photosensitive device 140 has two photosensitive areas arranged side by side. Light entering from the first lens portion 120 passes through the first reflector 151 and the third reflector 153 and is then directed onto one of the photosensitive areas. Light entering from the second lens portion 130 passes through the second reflector 152 and the third reflector 153 and is then directed onto the other photosensitive area.

[0075] In another shooting scheme, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the control drive mechanism 160 drives the third reflector 153 to reciprocate between a first position and a second position at a moving rate matching the output frame rate of the photosensitive device 140, so that the photosensitive device 140 alternately receives light collected by the first lens section 120 and the second lens section 130. The first focal length of the third reflector 153 in the first position and the second focal length of the third reflector 153 in the second position are the same.

[0076] like Figure 6 As shown, the first position can be located on the side away from the first lens section 120. In this position, the drive mechanism 160 drives the third reflector 153 to move along the side away from the first lens section 120. When the third reflector 153 is in the first position, the photosensitive device 140 only receives the light collected by the first lens section 120. When the third reflector 153 is in the first position, as... Figure 6 As shown by the dashed line A, the optical path is open to the first lens section 120, and the photosensitive device 140 acquires frame data from the first lens section 120. (As shown...) Figure 6 As shown by the dashed line B, the third reflector 153 reflects light to an area that is away from the photosensitive device 140. Therefore, the light path of the second lens section 130 cannot be guided to the photosensitive device 140, and at this time the photosensitive device 140 cannot collect the frame data of the second lens section 130.

[0077] like Figure 7 As shown, the second position can be located on the side away from the second lens section 130. In this case, the drive mechanism 160 drives the third reflector 153 to move along the side away from the second lens section 130. When the third reflector 153 is in the second position, the photosensitive device 140 only receives the light collected by the second lens section 130. When the third reflector 153 is in the second position, as... Figure 7 As shown by the dashed line B, the optical path is open to the second lens section 130, and the photosensitive device 140 acquires frame data from the second lens section 130. The third reflector 153 reflects the light to an area away from the photosensitive device 140, such as... Figure 7As shown by the dashed line A, the optical path of the first lens section 120 cannot be guided to the photosensitive device 140, and at this time, the photosensitive device 140 cannot acquire frame data from the first lens section 120. At this time, the reciprocating motion of the third reflector 153 realizes time-division imaging of the two optical paths.

[0078] The output frame rate of the aforementioned photosensitive device 140 refers to the frequency at which it outputs a complete image frame per unit time, and its unit is frames per second (fps). The reciprocating movement speed of the third reflector 153 needs to be synchronized with the frame rate of the photosensitive device 140.

[0079] For example, the image sensor 140 can output a frame rate of 60fps. In order to achieve time-sharing imaging of the first lens 120 and the second lens 130, the third reflector 153 needs to complete 30 reciprocating movements of "first position → second position → first position" within 1 second, that is, a switching frequency of 30Hz, to ensure that each lens exclusively uses the image sensor 140 within a single frame exposure cycle of 1 / 60 second, and avoid image aliasing between the two optical paths.

[0080] At this time, by alternately acquiring images at the first and second positions, it is possible to obtain, as shown below. Figure 11 The left view image sequence 510 and the right view image sequence 520 shown are, respectively, the left view image sequence 510 being the first video and the right view image sequence being the second video. A 3D video can be generated from the first and second videos. Of course, corresponding single images on the left and right sides can also be used to generate depth images.

[0081] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the illustrated scheme, light from the first lens unit 120 and the second lens unit 130 enters the same photosensitive area, but there is a time difference between the two lenses entering the same photosensitive area. For example, when the image sensor 140 outputs a frame rate of 60fps, the duration of a single frame is 16.67ms, so the time difference between the first lens unit 120 and the second lens unit 130 entering the same photosensitive area can be 16.67ms. Of course, if the image sensor 140 outputs a different frame rate, the time difference between the first lens unit 120 and the second lens unit 130 entering the same photosensitive area will be different.

[0082] In the embodiments disclosed in this application, by driving the third reflector 153 to alternately acquire images, it is beneficial to reduce the size of the photosensitive device 140, thereby reducing the overall volume of the camera module 100. Therefore, this solution satisfies the miniaturization and thinning requirements of electronic devices.

[0083] In another alternative embodiment, the camera module 100 may further include a first light control element 170 and a second light control element 180, wherein the first light control element 170 may be located between the first reflector 151 and the first lens portion 120, and the second light control element 180 may be located between the second reflector 152 and the second lens portion 130.

[0084] Both the first light-controlling element 170 and the second light-controlling element 180 can have a light-blocking state and a light-transmitting state. In the light-blocking state, the first light-controlling element 170 and the second light-controlling element 180 block light from passing through. The light-blocking state means that light cannot pass through the first light-controlling element 170 and the second light-controlling element 180. At this time, the light entering the first lens section 120 is blocked by the first light-controlling element 170, and the light cannot be transmitted to the first reflector 151. Therefore, the light collected by the first lens section 120 cannot be transmitted to the photosensitive element 140. Similarly, the light entering the second lens section 130 is blocked by the second light-controlling element 180, and the light cannot be transmitted to the second reflector 152. Therefore, the light collected by the second lens section 130 cannot be transmitted to the photosensitive element 140. In the light-transmitting state, the first light-controlling element 170 and the second light-controlling element 180 allow light to pass through. The light-transmitting state means that light can pass through the first light-controlling element 170 and the second light-controlling element 180. At this time, the light entering the first lens section 120 passes through the first light control element 170 and can be transmitted from the first lens section 120 to the first reflector 151. Therefore, the light collected by the first lens section 120 can be transmitted to the photosensitive device 140. Similarly, the light entering the second lens section 130 passes through the second light control element 180 and can be transmitted from the second lens section 130 to the second reflector 152. Therefore, the light collected by the second lens section 130 can be transmitted to the photosensitive device 140.

[0085] In the specific operation process, such as Figure 12 As shown, the first light-controlling element 170 can be in a light-transmitting state, and the second light-controlling element 180 can be in a light-blocking state. At this time, as... Figure 12 As shown by the dashed line A, the photosensitive device 140 acquires images through the first lens section 120. At this time, the first lens section 120, the first reflector 151, and the third reflector 153 form a periscope-type camera. Therefore, the camera module 100 can realize the normal shooting mode.

[0086] like Figure 14 As shown, the second light-controlling element 180 can be in a light-transmitting state, and the first light-controlling element 170 can be in a light-blocking state. At this time, as... Figure 14 As shown by the dashed line B, the photosensitive device 140 acquires images through the second lens section 130. At this time, the second lens section 130, the second reflector 152, and the third reflector 153 can form another periscope camera.

[0087] In the above structure, by controlling the first light control element 170 and the second light control element 180 to switch between light-blocking and light-transmitting states, the camera module 100 can achieve a normal shooting mode, thus expanding the application scenarios of the camera module 100 and improving its performance. The camera module 100 in this application can not only achieve 3D video shooting but also normal shooting and photo taking functions. Therefore, the camera module 100 can meet different shooting needs, thereby reducing the number of camera modules 100 in electronic devices and contributing to the thinner and lighter design of electronic devices.

[0088] Furthermore, by driving the movement of the third reflector 153, shooting requirements at different focal lengths can be met. Therefore, the camera module 100 disclosed in this application can meet the shooting requirements of main camera, telephoto, short focal length and ultra-wide-angle, which is beneficial to further improve the performance of the camera module 100.

[0089] Furthermore, when using a single lens unit, image stabilization can be achieved by driving the third reflector 153. For example, if the user shakes during shooting, driving the third reflector 153 to move can compensate for the amount of shake in the camera module 100, thereby achieving image stabilization and improving image quality.

[0090] It is important to understand that when shooting 3D video, both the first light control element 170 and the second light control element 180 are in a light-transmitting state.

[0091] In the above scheme, both the first light control element 170 and the second light control element 180 can include a light-blocking plate and a driving element, which can drive the light-blocking plate to move. In the light-blocking state, the driving element drives the light-blocking plate to a position opposite to the first lens section 120 or the second lens section 130. In the light-transmitting state, the driving element drives the light-blocking plate to a position offset from the first lens section 120 or the second lens section 130. The driving element here can be a motor, cylinder, or other components, and of course, it can also be other power structures; this application embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0092] In another optional embodiment of this application, both the first light-controlling element 170 and the second light-controlling element 180 can be electrochromic elements. Electrochromic elements can achieve reversible changes in color and transparency under the action of an applied electric field. When the color of the electrochromic element deepens to the point of being opaque, the electrochromic element is in a light-blocking state; when the electrochromic element is transparent, the electrochromic element is in a light-transmitting state.

[0093] Electrochromic devices typically consist of multiple layers, including transparent conductive electrodes, an electrolyte layer, and a color-changing layer. The electrolyte layer and the color-changing layer are located between two transparent conductive electrode layers. When a DC voltage is applied to the two transparent conductive layers, ions in the electrolyte layer are driven by the electric field to enter the color-changing layer, triggering an oxidation or reduction reaction in the color-changing layer. This alters its electronic structure, thereby changing its absorption and reflection characteristics of visible light, thus achieving a color change.

[0094] For example, when a positive voltage is applied, the H in the electrolyte layer + Or Li + Ions embed into the color-changing layer, causing structural changes and a decrease in light transmittance. This results in the color-changing layer appearing colored or dark, thus placing the electrochromic device in a light-blocking state. When a reverse voltage is applied, the ions are released from the color-changing layer back into the electrolyte layer, increasing light transmittance and returning the device to a transparent or bright state, thus placing the electrochromic device in a light-transmitting state.

[0095] In the above structure, by switching the voltage, the first light control element 170 and the second light control element 180 can be switched between the light-blocking state and the light-transmitting state. Therefore, the space occupied by the first light control element 170 and the second light control element 180 is small, which is conducive to the miniaturization and thinning of the camera module 100.

[0096] Of course, the first light control element 170 and the second light control element 180 in this application can also be a liquid crystal film that changes color when powered on. By changing the voltage, the arrangement direction of the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal film can be changed, thereby realizing the switching between the light-transmitting and light-blocking states of the liquid crystal film.

[0097] The first light control element 170 and the second light control element 180 in this application can also be other structures, and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.

[0098] In the above scheme, the third reflector 153 may have a reflective surface facing the photosensitive device 140, and the light reflected by the first reflector 151 and the second reflector 152 can be reflected onto the photosensitive device 140 through the reflective surface on the third reflector 153.

[0099] In another alternative embodiment, the third reflector 153 may have a first reflective surface 1531 and a second reflective surface 1532 disposed opposite to each other, with the first reflective surface 1531 facing the first reflector 151 and the second reflective surface 1532 facing the second reflector 152.

[0100] In this process, light collected by the first lens 120 is reflected by the first reflector 151 and the first reflective surface 1531 before being directed to the photosensitive device 140. The focal length of the optical path formed by the first lens 120, the first reflector 151, and the first reflective surface 1531 is the aforementioned first focal length. Light collected by the second lens 130 is reflected by the second reflector 152 and the second reflective surface 1532 before being directed to the photosensitive device 140. The focal length of the optical path formed by the second lens 130, the second reflector 152, and the second reflective surface 1532 is the aforementioned second focal length.

[0101] In this design, two opposing reflective surfaces are provided on the third reflector 153. The first lens 120, the first reflector 151, and the first reflective surface 1531 form one optical path, while the second lens 130, the second reflector 152, and the second reflective surface 1532 form another optical path. The light rays incident from the first lens 120 and the second lens 130 are less likely to intersect on the third reflector 153, thus preventing the light rays incident from the first lens 120 from affecting the light rays incident from the second lens 130 as stray light, and similarly preventing the light rays incident from the second lens 130 from affecting the light rays incident from the first lens 120 as stray light. Therefore, the light rays incident from the first lens 120 are less likely to affect the imaging of the light rays incident from the second lens 130, and vice versa. This further improves the imaging quality of the camera module 100.

[0102] In the embodiments disclosed in this application, the first reflector 151 and the second reflector 152 can be reflective prisms. Of course, the first reflector 151 and the second reflector 152 can also be other structures, and this application does not limit them. The specific structures of the first reflector 151, the second reflector 152 and the third reflector 153 in this application can be flexibly set according to actual working conditions, and this application does not limit them.

[0103] In the above embodiments, the photosensitive device 140 is a photosensitive sensor, and the number of photosensitive sensors can be one. Optionally, the photosensitive sensor can be a high-resolution photosensitive chip. The photosensitive sensor can be a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) imaging chip.

[0104] When the photosensitive device 140 includes a photosensitive sensor, the photosensitive sensor has a first photosensitive area and a second photosensitive area, the first reflective surface 1531 may be opposite to the first photosensitive area, and the second reflective surface 1532 may be opposite to the second photosensitive area.

[0105] In another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the photosensitive device 140 may include a first photosensitive sensor 141 and a second photosensitive sensor 142. The first photosensitive sensor 141 and the second photosensitive sensor 142 may be arranged side by side along the arrangement direction of the first lens portion 120 and the second lens portion 130. The first photosensitive sensor 141 and the second photosensitive sensor 142 may be used to receive light reflected from at least one of the first reflective surface 1531 and the second reflective surface 1532.

[0106] In the above structure, the first photosensitive sensor 141 and the second photosensitive sensor 142 are joined together to reduce mutual interference of light. For example, the first photosensitive sensor 141 can be used to collect light from the first lens section 120, and the second photosensitive sensor 142 can be used to collect light from the second lens section 130. In this case, the first photosensitive sensor 141 and the second photosensitive sensor 142 are two identical photosensitive sensors. Here, "identical" means that they are the same in size, color, resolution, and frequency. The first photosensitive sensor 141 is one photosensitive area of ​​the photosensitive device 140, and the second photosensitive sensor 142 is the other photosensitive area of ​​the photosensitive device 140.

[0107] Of course, the above solution also has other effects in different applications. For example, the first photosensitive sensor 141 and the second photosensitive sensor 142 can be different types of photosensitive sensors. In this case, both the first photosensitive sensor 141 and the second photosensitive sensor 142 have two corresponding photosensitive areas. Since the first photosensitive sensor 141 and the second photosensitive sensor 142 are of different types, different 3D shooting requirements can be met. For example, the first photosensitive sensor 141 can simultaneously acquire images captured by the first lens section 120 and the second lens section 130. This can then be used to form a first 3D video. The second photosensitive sensor 142 can also simultaneously acquire images captured by the first lens section 120 and the second lens section 130. This can then be used to form a second 3D video. Since the first photosensitive sensor 141 and the second photosensitive sensor 142 are of different types, the final first 3D video and the second 3D video will have different sizes, colors, resolutions, and frequencies. Therefore, different types of 3D videos can be acquired through the first photosensitive sensor 141 and the second photosensitive sensor 142 to achieve multi-scene applications.

[0108] Alternatively, 3D video can be captured using the first photosensitive sensor 141. The first photosensitive sensor 141 and the second photosensitive sensor 142 can be used together in normal shooting mode to obtain images at different focal lengths. For example, the first photosensitive sensor 141 can be used for short-focus shooting, and the second photosensitive sensor 142 can be used for long-focus shooting.

[0109] In another alternative embodiment, the light guide assembly 150 may further include a support bracket 154, to which the third reflector 153 may be fixed. Optionally, the third reflector 153 may be connected to the support bracket 154 by means of bonding, welding, riveting, snap-fitting, etc. A drive mechanism 160 may be connected to the support bracket 154, and the drive mechanism 160 may drive the third reflector 153 to move via the support bracket 154.

[0110] In this structure, the drive mechanism 160 drives the third reflector 153 to move through the support bracket 154, which avoids the risk of the drive mechanism 160 directly connecting to the third reflector 153 and causing damage to the third reflector 153.

[0111] Furthermore, the module housing 110 may be provided with a guide member 190, and the support bracket 154 may engage with the guide member 190 along the moving direction of the third reflector 153. In this structure, the engagement of the support bracket 154 and the guide member 190 can precisely guide the moving direction of the third reflector 153, thereby improving the accuracy of light transmission, avoiding the risk of image defocusing caused by light shaking, and thus improving the shooting effect of the camera module 100.

[0112] In the above scheme, the guide 190 may include a slide rail and a slider, the slider is slidably mounted on the slide rail, and the support bracket 154 may be fixedly connected to the slider.

[0113] In an optional embodiment, a guide groove 1541 may be provided on the side of the support bracket 154 away from the third reflector 153. The extending direction of the guide groove 1541 may be parallel to the moving direction of the third reflector 153. A portion of the guide member 190 may be located within the guide groove 1541, and the guide member 190 may slide in cooperation with the guide groove 1541.

[0114] This structure can not only guide the support bracket 154 and the guide member 190, but also reduce the stacking thickness of the support bracket 154 and the guide member 190, thereby helping to reduce the thickness of the camera module 100 and thus realize the thinner and lighter development of the camera module 100.

[0115] Optionally, the guide member 190 can be a protrusion provided on the module housing 110. In this case, the guide member 190 can also be integrally formed with the module housing 110, or the guide member 190 can be assembled with the module housing 110. For example, the guide member 190 and the module housing 110 can be engaged by a slot. The guide member 190 and the module housing 110 can also be connected in other ways, which are not limited in this embodiment.

[0116] Furthermore, the guide member 190 may include a first guide rod 191 and a second guide rod 192 arranged parallel to each other. The guide groove 1541 may include a first groove 1541a and a second groove 1541b arranged at intervals. A portion of the first guide rod 191 may be located within the first groove 1541a, and the first groove 1541a can slide in engagement with the first guide rod 191. A portion of the second guide rod 192 may be located within the second groove 1541b, and the second groove 1541b can slide in engagement with the second guide rod 192. In this structure, the first guide rod 191 and the second guide rod 192 support both sides of the support bracket 154, thus ensuring that the force on both sides of the support bracket 154 is even, avoiding the risk of unilateral tilting, thereby further improving the reliability and accuracy of light transmission.

[0117] To avoid the risk of the support bracket 154 detaching from the guide member 190, in another optional solution, one of the support bracket 154 and the module housing 110 can be equipped with a magnetic element 1100, and the other with a magnetic attraction element 1200. The support bracket 154 and the module housing 110 can be attracted together by the magnetic element 1100 and the magnetic attraction element 1200, and the magnetic attraction direction of the magnetic element 1100 and the magnetic attraction element 1200 is parallel to the arrangement direction of the support bracket 154 and the guide member 190. In this structure, the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic element 1100 and the magnetic attraction element 1200 can achieve a reliable connection between the support bracket 154 and the module housing 110 without affecting the movement of the support bracket 154. Therefore, the risk of the support bracket 154 detaching from the guide member 190 is avoided, thus further improving the safety and reliability of the module housing 110.

[0118] Optionally, both the magnetic component 1100 and the magnetic attracting component 1200 can be magnets or electromagnets. Of course, the magnetic component 1100 can be a magnet or electromagnet, and the magnetic attracting component 1200 can be a metal structural component capable of being magnetically attracted to a magnet or electromagnet.

[0119] This application discloses a specific structure of a driving mechanism 160, but other structures can also be used, and this application does not limit this. Specifically, the driving mechanism 160 may include a driving coil 161 and a driving magnet 162. One of the driving coil 161 and the driving magnet 162 can be connected to the module housing 110, and the other can be connected to the third reflector 153. The driving coil 161 and the driving magnet 162 are arranged opposite to each other, and the driving coil 161 and the driving magnet 162 can be used to drive the third reflector 153 to move. This means that when the driving coil 161 is energized, it can generate a Lorentz force in the magnetic field generated by the driving magnet 162, and the Lorentz force can drive the third reflector 153 to move.

[0120] In this structure, when voltage is applied to the drive coil 161, the third reflector 153 can be driven to move. Simultaneously, the drive magnet 162, in addition to providing driving force, also has a holding force, fixing the third reflector 153 in its initial position when there is no current, preventing it from shaking. This ensures that the third reflector 153 will not move erratically when the camera module 100 is powered off or turned off, improving reliability. This can be understood as the drive magnet 162 being attracted to the third reflector 153, or the drive magnet 162 being attracted to the aforementioned support bracket 154. The drive magnet 162 is the aforementioned magnetic component 1100.

[0121] Furthermore, the drive mechanism 160 has fewer components, thus simplifying the structure of the camera module 100. The drive mechanism 160 occupies less mounting space in the camera module 100, resulting in a smaller overall size. Additionally, the drive mechanism 160 achieves commutation of the third reflector 153 by changing the current direction of the drive coil 161, thereby enabling flexible commutation of the third reflector 153.

[0122] The drive mechanism 160 in this application is not limited to the structure described above, and can also be a three-phase asynchronous motor, a servo motor, etc. This application only discloses several specific implementations of the drive mechanism 160, and does not limit the specific structure of the drive mechanism 160.

[0123] In the above embodiments, the drive coil 161 can be disposed on the module housing 110, and the drive magnet 162 can be disposed on the aforementioned support bracket 154. The specific shape of the support bracket 154 can be flexibly set according to the actual working conditions, and this application embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0124] This application discloses a specific structure of a first lens unit 120, but other structures can also be used, and this application does not limit this. Specifically, the first lens unit 120 may include a first lens body 121, a first housing 122, and a first driving member 123. The first housing 122 provides a mounting base for other components of the first lens unit 120, and the first lens body 121 is the main component of the first lens unit 120, composed of lenses. The first housing 122 can be fixedly connected to the module housing 110. In this case, the first housing 122 can be connected to the module housing 110 by welding, riveting, snap-fitting, etc. The first lens body 121 is movably disposed on the first housing 122, and the first driving member 123 can be disposed on the first housing 122. The first driving member 123 can be connected to the first lens body 121, and the first driving member 123 is used to drive the first lens body 121 to move relative to the first housing 122. The first driving member 123 here can drive the first lens body 121 to move along the axial direction of the first lens section 120, or it can drive the first lens body 121 to move along the axial direction perpendicular to the first lens section 120.

[0125] In the above structure, the first driving member 123 can drive the first lens body 121 to move, thereby adjusting the focal length of the first lens section 120. At the same time, the first lens section 120 can compensate for the shake of the camera module 100, thereby achieving image stabilization and improving the shooting performance of the camera module 100.

[0126] Similarly, the second lens unit 130 may include a second lens body 131, a second housing 132, and a second driving member 133. The second housing 132 may be fixedly connected to the module housing 110. The second lens body 131 is movably disposed on the second housing 132. The second driving member 133 may be disposed on the second housing 132, and the second driving member 133 may be connected to the second lens body 131. The second driving member 133 may be used to drive the second lens body 131 to move relative to the second housing 132.

[0127] In the above structure, the second driving member 133 can drive the second lens body 131 to move, thereby adjusting the focal length of the second lens section 130 and realizing the image stabilization operation of the second lens section 130, which is beneficial to improving the shooting performance of the camera module 100.

[0128] In another alternative embodiment, the module housing 110 may include an inner housing portion 111 and an outer housing portion 112. A first lens portion 120, a second lens portion 130, a photosensitive device 140, a light guide assembly 150, and a driving mechanism 160 may all be disposed on the inner housing portion 111. The inner housing portion 111 may have a receiving groove 111a. The first lens portion 120, the photosensitive device 140, and the second lens portion 130 are arranged side-by-side on one side of the opening of the receiving groove 111a. In this case, the first lens portion 120, the photosensitive device 140, and the second lens portion 130 cover the opening of the receiving groove 111a. The light guide assembly 150 is located within the receiving groove 111a, and the outer housing portion 112 is sleeved on the outside of the inner housing portion 111.

[0129] In the above structure, the inner shell 111 can be specifically adapted to the precision installation requirements of optical components, while the outer shell 112 undertakes external functions such as mechanical connection, protection, and heat dissipation for the entire device. Therefore, the module shell 110 in this application can meet both the precision assembly requirements of optical components and the overall strength and heat dissipation requirements, thereby reducing the design difficulty of a single shell meeting multiple requirements simultaneously.

[0130] The inner shell 111 and the outer shell 112 in the above scheme can be made of the same material, or they can be made of different materials. This application does not limit this.

[0131] In the embodiments disclosed in this application, the camera module 100 may further include a circuit board 1300, which is electrically connected to the photosensitive device 140. The circuit board 1300 is used to realize the electrical connection between the photosensitive device 140 and the motherboard of the electronic device.

[0132] In one embodiment, the circuit board 1300 includes a first segment 1310 and a second segment 1320, which are electrically connected. A photosensitive device 140 is disposed on the second segment 1320. One end of the first segment 1310 facing away from the second segment 1320 can be used for electrical connection with the motherboard of an electronic device. In this case, the motherboard of the electronic device is electrically connected to the photosensitive device 140 through the first segment 1310 and the second segment 1320.

[0133] Furthermore, the circuit board 1300 may also include a third segment 1330, which is located away from the second segment 1320 and away from the first segment 1310. The third segment 1330 may be bent relative to the second segment 1320. The aforementioned drive coil 161 may be disposed on the third segment 1330. In this case, the circuit board 1300 can also supply power to the drive coil 161, thus facilitating the optimization of the circuit layout of the camera module 100.

[0134] The aforementioned third plate segment 1330 can be located between the inner shell portion 111 and the outer shell portion 112, or it can be located within the inner shell portion 111. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0135] Based on the camera module 100 disclosed in the embodiments of this application, the embodiments of this application also disclose an electronic device, which includes the camera module 100 described in any of the embodiments above.

[0136] like Figure 16 As shown, the device housing 200 of the electronic device may have a first light-transmitting hole 201 and a second light-transmitting hole 202. The first light-transmitting hole 201 may be disposed opposite to the first lens portion 120 mentioned above, and the second light-transmitting hole 202 may be disposed opposite to the second light-transmitting hole 202 mentioned above.

[0137] The electronic devices disclosed in this application can be smartphones, tablets, e-book readers, wearable devices such as smartwatches, video game consoles, etc. This application does not limit the specific types of electronic devices.

[0138] Based on the electronic device disclosed in the embodiments of this application, this application discloses a shooting method, which is executed by the electronic device described above, such as... Figure 17 As shown, the disclosed shooting methods include: Step 610: Control the drive mechanism 160 to drive the third reflector 153 to move to the target position, so that the photosensitive device 140 simultaneously receives the light collected by the first lens section 120 and the second lens section 130; wherein, the focal length of the light path formed by the first lens section 120, the first reflector 151 and the third reflector 153 is the first focal length, and the focal length of the light path formed by the second lens section 130, the second reflector 152 and the third reflector 153 is the second focal length; when the third reflector 153 is in the target position, the first focal length and the second focal length are the same.

[0139] Here, the drive mechanism 160 moves the third reflector 153 to a fixed position where the first focal length and the second focal length are equal. The third reflector 153 is fixed at the target position and does not change during the entire shooting process. For example, the third reflector 153 is located between the first reflector 151 and the second reflector 152. Of course, the position where the first focal length and the second focal length are equal is not limited to the position between the first reflector 151 and the second reflector 152; it can be other positions, and this embodiment of the application does not impose any limitations.

[0140] Since the first focal length and the second focal length are the same, the first lens section 120 and the second lens section 130 can image the same scene to form a left and right field of view with a baseline difference.

[0141] Step 620: Acquire a first video generated by multiple consecutive images captured by the photosensitive device 140 through the first lens 120, and acquire a second video generated by multiple consecutive images captured by the second lens 130.

[0142] At this time, with the third reflector 153 at the target position, the first lens section 120 obtains such... Figure 11 The left view image sequence 510 shown is acquired by the second lens unit 130. Figure 11 The right view image sequence 520 shown here represents the first video (left view image sequence 510) and the second video (right view image sequence 520). It's important to note that since electronic devices typically don't output both left and right images simultaneously for previewing, they only display a single image or a sequence of images. Therefore, one image from the left view image sequence 510 or the right view image sequence 520, or one sequence of images from either sequence, can be displayed for preview. For example... Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, Figure 9 The first image 501 displayed is a frame from the left view image sequence 510, used as a preview image. Figure 10 The second image 502 displayed is a frame from the right-view image sequence 520, used as a preview image. Figure 9and Figure 10 As can be seen, the first image 501 and the second image 502 on the screen are the same size, but there is a certain parallax.

[0143] Step 630: Generate a 3D video based on the first video and the second video.

[0144] At this point, a 3D video can be generated using the first and second videos obtained.

[0145] In the embodiments disclosed in this application, during 3D video shooting, the field of view and focal length of the video image generated by the photosensitive device 140 through the first lens section 120 and the video image generated through the second lens section 130 are the same. This ensures consistent depth of field and resolution during 3D video shooting, thereby improving the resolution of the generated 3D video and ultimately enhancing the quality of the 3D video. Therefore, the camera module 100 disclosed in this application is beneficial for improving the 3D video shooting effect of electronic devices.

[0146] In another alternative approach, step 630 may specifically include: Step 631: Perform ISP (Image Signal Processor) processing on the first video and the second video respectively.

[0147] The ISP here is the core processing unit connecting the image sensor 140 with the final imaging and algorithm applications. The ISP's processing flow follows a progressive logic of "front-end correction → image quality enhancement → intelligent optimization": It sequentially performs data loss correction on the lossless image format output by the image sensor 140 to mask faulty pixels; black level calibration to eliminate dark current noise; lens shadow correction to compensate for the attenuation of light at the lens edges; and white balance calibration to restore the true color baseline. Then, noise reduction is used to distinguish between signal and noise, thereby suppressing graininess at high ISO; and sharpening is used to enhance edge contrast. Finally, gamma correction is performed to match the characteristics of human vision, thus completing image quality optimization. The specific operation process of the ISP is well-known technology, and this application embodiment does not limit it.

[0148] Step 632: Perform perspective correction on the first and second videos after ISP processing.

[0149] Viewpoint correction is one of the steps in converting left and right views into images suitable for 3D playback and spatial video reconstruction. This step eliminates geometric discrepancies between the left and right views caused by lens position, light path refraction angle, lens distortion, or motion errors of the third reflector 153, ensuring that the two images correspond to the same horizontal scan line in a unified coordinate system. This guarantees the stability of subsequent depth calculations or 3D playback. The goal of viewpoint correction is to convert the left and right images into parallel camera models, so that the same spatial point corresponds to the same row in both the left and right images.

[0150] Step 633: Encapsulate the first video and the second video into a 3D video according to the 3D encoding format.

[0151] At this time, as Figure 11 As shown, the first video and the second video are encoded into two video tracks respectively, and these two video tracks are encapsulated in the same container file and saved, thereby realizing the generation of 3D video.

[0152] In this solution, the quality of 3D video can be further improved through ISP processing and viewpoint correction.

[0153] In an optional embodiment, the step 610 may further include: Step 640: Receive shooting mode settings input.

[0154] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the electronic device has a spatial video mode on its display surface, which is the 3D video shooting mode. When the user selects the spatial video mode, the input shooting mode is received by the electronic device.

[0155] Step 650: In response to the shooting mode setting input, set the shooting mode to three-dimensional video shooting mode.

[0156] At this time, the electronic device enters the 3D shooting module, but the preview image displayed on the screen of the electronic device is still a single image. When the shooting mode is 3D video shooting mode, the control drive mechanism 160 drives the third reflector 153 to move to the target position, so that the photosensitive device 140 simultaneously receives the light collected by the first lens section 120 and the second lens section 130.

[0157] In the above method, the shooting mode input can serve as a preprocessing instruction, allowing the ISP and backend algorithm to directly call the corresponding preset parameter set. This avoids the indiscriminate processing of general algorithms and significantly improves the upper limit of image quality in specific scenarios. Simultaneously, it enables targeted allocation of algorithm resources, reducing redundant computing power consumption and balancing processing efficiency with power consumption control. Furthermore, the shooting mode input can be linked with front-end optical and photosensitive sensors to improve the accuracy of hardware response.

[0158] Based on the electronic device disclosed in the embodiments of this application, this application discloses a shooting method, which is executed by the electronic device described above, such as... Figure 20 As shown, the disclosed shooting methods include: Step 710: The control drive mechanism 160 drives the third reflector 153 to move back and forth between a first position and a second position at a moving rate matching the output frame rate of the photosensitive device 140, so that the photosensitive device 140 alternately receives light collected by the first lens section 120 and the second lens section 130; when the third reflector 153 is in the first position, the photosensitive device 140 only receives light collected by the first lens section 120; when the third reflector 153 is in the second position, the photosensitive device 140 only receives light collected by the second lens section 130; wherein, the focal length of the optical path formed by the first lens section 120, the first reflector 151 and the third reflector 153 is the first focal length; the focal length of the optical path formed by the second lens section 130, the second reflector 152 and the third reflector 153 is the second focal length; the first focal length of the third reflector 153 in the first position and the second focal length of the third reflector 153 in the second position are the same.

[0159] like Figure 6 As shown, when the third reflector 153 is in the first position, the photosensitive device 140 only receives the light collected by the first lens section 120. When the third reflector 153 is in the first position, the light path is open to the first lens section 120, and the photosensitive device 140 collects the frame data of the first lens section 120. The third reflector 153 reflects the light to an area away from the photosensitive device 140, therefore the light path of the second lens section 130 cannot be guided to the photosensitive device 140, and at this time, the photosensitive device 140 cannot collect the frame data of the second lens section 130. Figure 7 As shown, when the third reflector 153 is in the second position, the photosensitive device 140 only receives light collected by the second lens section 130. When the third reflector 153 is in the second position, the optical path is open to the second lens section 130, and the photosensitive device 140 collects frame data from the second lens section 130. The third reflector 153 reflects light to an area away from the photosensitive device 140, therefore the optical path of the first lens section 120 cannot be guided to the photosensitive device 140, and at this time, the photosensitive device 140 cannot collect frame data from the first lens section 120. The output frame rate of the photosensitive device 140 mentioned above refers to the frequency at which it outputs a complete image frame per unit time, and its unit is frames per second (fps). The reciprocating movement speed of the third reflector 153 must be synchronized with the frame rate of the photosensitive device 140.

[0160] Step 720: Acquire a first video generated by multiple consecutive images captured by the photosensitive device 140 through the first lens 120, and acquire a second video generated by multiple consecutive images captured by the second lens 130.

[0161] At this time, by alternately acquiring images at the first and second positions, it is possible to obtain, as shown below. Figure 11 The left view image sequence 510 and the right view image sequence 520 shown are the first video and the second video, respectively.

[0162] Step 730: Generate a 3D video based on the first video and the second video.

[0163] At this point, a 3D video can be generated using the first and second videos obtained.

[0164] In the embodiments disclosed in this application, during 3D video shooting, the field of view and focal length of the video image generated by the photosensitive device 140 through the first lens section 120 and the video image generated through the second lens section 130 are the same. This ensures consistent depth of field and resolution during 3D video shooting, thereby improving the resolution of the generated 3D video and ultimately enhancing the quality of the 3D video. Therefore, the camera module 100 disclosed in this application is beneficial for improving the 3D video shooting effect of electronic devices.

[0165] Furthermore, by driving the third reflector 153 to alternately acquire images, the size of the photosensitive device 140 can be reduced, thereby helping to shrink the overall size of the camera module 100. Therefore, this solution satisfies the requirements for miniaturization and thinning of electronic devices.

[0166] Steps 630 and 730 are the same as above, so they will not be described again in this embodiment.

[0167] Furthermore, prior to step 710, there may be a step of receiving a shooting mode setting input and, in response to the shooting mode setting input, setting the shooting mode to a three-dimensional video shooting mode. This will not be elaborated upon in the embodiments of this application.

[0168] Based on the electronic device disclosed in the embodiments of this application, this application discloses a shooting method, which is executed by the electronic device described above, such as... Figure 21 As shown, the disclosed shooting methods include: Step 810: Control the drive mechanism 160 to drive the third reflector 153 to the target position, and control one of the first light control element 170 and the second light control element 180 to be in a light-transmitting state and the other to be in a light-blocking state, so that the photosensitive device 140 only receives the light collected by one of the first lens section 120 and the second lens section 130.

[0169] At this time, one of the first light control element 170 and the second light control element 180 is in a light-transmitting state, and the other is in a light-blocking state. The aforementioned driving of the third reflector 153 and the switching of the first light control element 170 and the second light control element 180 between the light-transmitting and light-blocking states can be performed simultaneously or in stages. It should be emphasized here that in the aforementioned three-dimensional video shooting mode, both the first light control element 170 and the second light control element 180 are in a light-transmitting state.

[0170] It should be emphasized here that the target position in step 810 may be the same as or different from the target position in step 610 above. These two target positions are not necessarily related and are only used to indicate the position of the third reflector 153 during shooting.

[0171] Step 820: Acquire an image captured by the photosensitive device 140 through one of the first lens section 120 and the second lens section 130.

[0172] At this time, the photosensitive device 140 acquires images through the first lens section 120 or the second lens section 130, and the camera module 100 can realize the normal shooting mode.

[0173] In this solution, by controlling the first light control element 170 and the second light control element 180 to switch between light-blocking and light-transmitting states, the camera module 100 can achieve a normal shooting mode, thus expanding the application scenarios of the camera module 100 and improving its performance. The camera module 100 in this application can not only achieve 3D video shooting but also normal shooting and photo taking functions. Therefore, the camera module 100 can meet different shooting needs, thereby reducing the number of camera modules 100 in electronic devices and contributing to the thinner and lighter design of electronic devices.

[0174] Step 830: Receive shooting mode settings input.

[0175] like Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the electronic device's display surface features photo and video recording modes, both of which are standard shooting modes. When the user clicks to take a photo or record video, the input shooting mode is received by the electronic device.

[0176] Step 840: In response to the shooting mode setting input, set the shooting mode to normal shooting mode.

[0177] At this time, the electronic device enters the normal shooting module. In the normal shooting mode, the control drive mechanism 160 drives the third reflector 153 to move to the target position, and controls one of the first light control element 170 and the second light control element 180 to be in a light-transmitting state and the other to be in a light-blocking state, so that the photosensitive device 140 only receives the light collected by one of the first lens section 120 and the second lens section 130.

[0178] In one embodiment, step 810 may specifically include: Step 811: Control the drive mechanism 160 to drive the third reflector 153 to move to the first position, control the first light control element 170 to be in a light-transmitting state, and control the second light control element 180 to be in a light-blocking state; wherein, when the third reflector 153 is in the first position, the focal length of the light path formed by the first lens part 120, the first reflector 151 and the third reflector 153 is a short focal length.

[0179] At this point, the shooting mode is normal shooting mode, and the focus is then selected within normal mode. For example... Figure 13 As shown, a 1X focal length is selected. The first light-controlling element 170 is controlled to be in a light-transmitting state, and the second light-controlling element 180 is controlled to be in a light-blocking state. Therefore, the first lens section 120 acquires light, and the focal length of the optical path formed by the first lens section 120, the first reflector 151, and the third reflector 153 is a short focal length. For example, at a short focal length, the focal length of the optical path formed by the first lens section 120, the first reflector 151, and the third reflector 153 can be less than 50mm.

[0180] Optionally, step 820 specifically includes: Step 821: Acquire the image captured by the photosensitive device 140 through the first lens section 120. At this time, the target position is the first position.

[0181] At this time, the first lens unit 120 acquires an image. The first position in step 821 is not necessarily related to the first position in step 710 above; they are different embodiments that define the position of the third reflector 153.

[0182] like Figure 13 The third image 503 is acquired when the focal length of the optical path formed by the first lens section 120, the first reflector 151, and the third reflector 153 is a short focal length. At this time, the object shown in the third image 503 is smaller, so the field of view is larger and wider.

[0183] Optionally, step 810 may also include: Step 812: Control the drive mechanism 160 to drive the third reflector 153 to the second position, control the second light control element 180 to be in a light-transmitting state, and control the first light control element 170 to be in a light-blocking state; wherein, when the third reflector 153 is in the second position, the focal length of the light path formed by the second lens part 130, the second reflector 152 and the third reflector 153 is a long focal length.

[0184] At this point, the shooting mode is normal shooting mode, and the focus is then selected within normal mode. For example... Figure 15 As shown, a 2X focal length is selected. The second light control element 180 is controlled to be in a light-transmitting state, and the first light control element 170 is controlled to be in a light-blocking state. Therefore, the second lens section 130 acquires light, and the focal length of the optical path formed by the second lens section 130, the second reflector 152, and the third reflector 153 is a telephoto lens. For example, at a telephoto lens, the focal length of the optical path formed by the second lens section 130, the second reflector 152, and the third reflector 153 can be greater than 85mm.

[0185] Step 822: Acquire the image captured by the photosensitive device 140 through the second lens section 130. The target position is the second position.

[0186] At this time, the second lens unit 130 acquires an image. The second position in step 822 is not necessarily related to the second position in step 710 above; they are different embodiments that define the position of the third reflector 153.

[0187] The first position in step 821 and the second position in step 822 can be the same position. That is to say, when the first lens 120 is in short-focus shooting mode and the second lens 130 is in long-focus shooting mode, the position of the third reflector 153 is the same. Of course, the first position and the second position can also be different positions, and this embodiment of the application does not limit this.

[0188] like Figure 15 The fourth image 504 is acquired when the focal length of the optical path formed by the second lens section 130, the second reflector 152, and the third reflector 153 is a long focal length. At this time, the object shown in the fourth image 504 is larger, so the field of view is smaller and the distance is farther.
