Apple's new patent unveiled: Foldable electronic devices will be equipped with innovative camera systems

Recent news shows that Apple recently successfully obtained a patent authorization for a new camera system in the United States. This patent may bring a major technological innovation to foldable electronic devices.

It is reported that the patent involves a camera system built into a foldable electronic device, and also reveals a new seven-camera system that may be integrated into the MacBook. This system enables users to take high-quality 3D images and capture accurate 3D gesture movements.

#The patent describes an electronic device that can be bent and reconfigured. These devices are equipped with cameras located in different locations capable of capturing multiple angles of the scene. In some cases, these cameras can form a fan-shaped field of view, and the captured scene images are automatically stitched into a panoramic image. In other cases, these cameras can focus on different angles of a specific object to obtain a 3D image of it.

Apple attached multiple detailed device schematics to the patent. Among them, Figure 4 shows a side cross-sectional view of a foldable device similar to Apple Watch, with a curved wristband design. Figure 5 shows a front view of a foldable device with a display capable of previewing images captured by multiple cameras mounted on the walls of the housing. Figures 6 and 7 show different configurations of the electronic device, in which the cameras can be set away from or opposite each other. Figure 8 shows an example system with a foldable cover and removable device design. Finally, Figure 9 presents a laptop-like device with multiple cameras on the front that can be used to capture 3D images and capture 3D gestures.

It is understood that Apple recently obtained a patent, which will bring new inspiration to the design of foldable electronic devices and also provide users with more image shooting and gesture control experiences. The acquisition of this patent may lead the innovation trend in the technology field, and we look forward to Apple's future breakthrough performance in this field.
