[0002] With the rapid development of smart glasses technology, their integrated camera functions provide users with convenient shooting and recording capabilities. However, the widespread adoption of smart glasses also brings challenges to privacy protection. Due to the discreet nature of smart glasses, the camera may inadvertently record sensitive information, or in certain situations, it may be necessary to actively shield the camera to protect privacy. However, existing smart glasses lack privacy protection mechanisms and cannot quickly switch the camera's operating state according to privacy protection and photography needs, thus failing to meet the privacy protection requirements in different scenarios.

[0003] Furthermore, existing smart glasses cameras mostly employ a single, fixed-view design, which cannot adapt to users' diverse photography needs. For example, when shooting from above, the image distortion is severe, and distant objects become blurry due to the viewing angle deviation. Moreover, the design of existing smart glasses cameras does not take into account users' physiological characteristics such as differences in interpupillary distance, head posture habits (such as looking up / down), and height differences, resulting in a discrepancy between the shooting experience and real visual perception.
