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.
Claims17
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;
- 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 surface light source to stop emitting light when the pattern light source is activated to emit light;
- and
- cause the pattern light source to stop emitting light when the surface light source is activated to emit light.
