Abstract
A Mobile/Smart phone/Tablet device camera lens system which includes eight camera lenses 6 which are positioned at the top 7, sides, front and rear of the device are arranged to capture greater than 180 degree, both horizontally and vertically, images or videos. The lenses may be retractable or fixed, projecting or non-projecting, automatically or manually controlled and enclosed or not enclosed. Object tracking and focused view may also be used. Sensors may be used to assist with object tracking and focusing. The lens system may respond to a gyroscope. The lens enclosure may be made of transparent, semi-transparent or opaque material. The aim of the invention is to overcome the limited field of view (cone shape) of traditional smart phone camera systems by providing a continuous dome shape coverage formed by overlapping cones.
Description
TITLE
Mobile Device Multi Camera System
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
This invention relates to a Mobile/Smart phone/Tablet device with eight integrated cameras lenses to achieve a greater than 180 degrees video/image vertical and horizontal panoramic coverage simultaneously.
When mobile devices such Mobile/Smart phone/Tablet device is used the camera lenses on the device are often integrated at the front and/or rear of the mobile device to generate front facing and back facing images and videos.
However, the use of conventional front and/or rear facing camera lenses of the Mobile/Smart phone/Tablet device can lead to a number of coverage limitations. If a front and/or rear facing camera lenses are integrated in a mobile device, the user can only generate images or videos at any given instance with a limited cone angle view which is usually less than 180 degrees angle. This coverage limitation applies to both the front and rear facing Mobile/Smart phone/Tablet device integrated camera lens system. This limitation affects the vertical and horizontal coverage of the camera lenses. Furthermore, when the mobile device integrated camera lens is being used, the problem of coverage is usually encountered requiring the coverage targets to forcefully converge within this limited cone of vision in order to be captured in the image or video to be created. To overcome these problems, the present invention proposes an integrated Mobile/Smart phone/Tablet device which consists of eight panoramic or non- panoramic camera lenses which in combination are able to simultaneously capture greater than 180 degrees horizontal and greater than 180 degrees vertical image or video panoramic coverage controlled by a mobile device application. The individual camera lenses are positioned on the front, rear, top and sides of the Mobile/Smart phone/Tablet device. The camera lenses individual cone of vision coverage is able to overlap each other providing a continuous dome shape image and video coverage at any particular instance.
STATEMENT OF INVENTION
The greater than 180 degrees horizontal and greater than 180 degrees vertical image or video panoramic coverage or dome shape coverage is provided by the positions of each of the eight camera lenses as well as their cone of vision coverage working simultaneously.
Different combinations of the lenses might be activated to provide significant but less than full or partial image or video coverage to suit the user.
These integrated eight camera lenses may be retractable in combinations or simultaneously so that they are able to project from the face of the mobile device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In Figure 1, the Mobile/Smart phone/Tablet device include two of eight camera lenses 6 integrated into the front face of the mobile device 5 and positioned at the upper half of the device in a portrait position. The camera lenses 6 may be panoramic or non-panoramic. The camera lenses 6 may be protruding from or flushed with the front face 5 of the mobile device. The camera lenses 6 may positioned together or wide apart from each other on the display or non-display portion of the front face of the Mobile/Smart phone/Tablet device.
If the camera lenses 6 are fitted as shown in Figures 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, the vertical cones of vision 2 and horizontal cones of vision 3 of these eight camera lenses when used in combination, provides increased angular range of simultaneous continuous image or video coverage when in use. This continuity is made possible by the overlapping of the two vertical 2 and six horizontal 3 cones of vision with each other to create a greater than 180 degrees vertical and a greater than 180 degrees horizontal three dimensional coverage 1. Such coverage can be extended to its fullest provides a dome coverage 1 See Figure 4. The coverage can be partially extended by the activation of different combinations of the eight camera lenses 6. This coverage 1 will allow the user to capture partial or full panoramic image and video representations of their entire surrounding environment at any particular instance.
The eight integrated camera lenses 6 as shown in Figures 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 may be fixed or retractable. The use of these cameras may be controlled by a Mobile/Smart phone/Tablet device application or an external button on the mobile device. The eight camera lenses 6 positions of on the phone, can also be arranged with reference to the mobile device in either a portrait position as in Figures 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 or a landscape position as in Figures 12,13, 14, 15, 16,17 and 18, as long as the symmetric upper half corner positions of these eight cameras 6 in relation to each other are maintained - portrait or landscape.
Figure 2 shows an embodiment of the Mobile/Smart phone/Tablet device viewed from the left side 4 revealing one of eight camera lenses 6 integrated into the side of the mobile device 4 and positioned at the upper half of the device in a portrait position. The coverage 1 occurs in three dimensions. The vertical 2 and horizontal 3 cone of vision lines from the two top camera lenses 6 Figure 3, two front facing camera lenses 6 Figure 1 and two rear camera lenses 6 Figure 6, are clearly illustrated in Figure 2. These cone of vision lines 2 and 3 overlaps at 9 and work together to provide the greater than 180 degrees continuous coverage 1 in the vertical direction.
Figure 3 shows an embodiment of the Mobile/Smart phone/Tablet device viewed from the top 7 revealing two of eight camera lenses 6 integrated into the top of the mobile device 7 and positioned towards the right and left side of the top 7 of the device in a portrait position.
