Abstract
The present invention relates to a mobile terminal including a lighting device and a method for controlling the same. A mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a lighting device; a camera; and a controller configured to capture a 3D image by means of the camera, wherein the lighting device includes a pattern light source configured to emit light having a predetermined pattern; and a surface light source configured to emit uniform light, and wherein the controller controls the lighting device so that the pattern light source and the surface light source alternately emit light.
Claims14
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a camera;
- a lighting device comprising a pattern light source and a surface light source, wherein the pattern light source is configured to emit light having a defined pattern and the surface light source is configured to emit uniform light, wherein the pattern light source includes a plurality of light emitting devices that are grouped into a single group of lights;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- cause the camera to capture a 3D image;
- control the lighting device to cause the pattern light source and the surface light source to alternately emit light, in association with the capturing of the 3D image;
- cause the pattern light source to activate to emit light when the camera captures a first frame;
- and
- control the plurality of light emitting devices of the single group of lights to repeatedly activate to emit separate instances of light during the capturing of the first frame,
- wherein a time during which each of the separate instances of light is emitted is constant, and
- wherein a number of times that the single group of lights is repeatedly activated during the capturing of the first frame varies depending on duration at which the first frame is captured.
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a camera;
- a pattern light source and a surface light source, wherein the pattern light source is configured to emit light having a defined pattern and the surface light source is configured to emit uniform light, wherein the pattern light source includes a plurality of light emitting devices that are grouped into a plurality of groups;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- cause the camera to capture an image comprising a first frame and a second frame;
- and
- cause the pattern light source and the surface light source to alternately emit light, in association with the capturing of the image;
- cause the light emitting devices of each group of the plurality of groups to sequentially activate to emit light on a group by group basis and in a defined order;
- and
- cause the light emitting devices of each group of the plurality of groups to be activated at discrete time periods such that the emitted light from each group of the plurality of groups do not overlap one another.
