Abstract
A camera module includes a first camera, a second camera, and a driving component. The first camera and the second camera are symmetrically arranged in the camera module, connected by a shaft, and configured to photograph a non-wide-angle image; the first camera is provided with a first translation shaft, and the second camera is provided with a second translation shaft; the driving component is connected with the first translation shaft and the second translation shaft to drive the first translation shaft and the second translation shaft to move in opposite directions and drive the first camera and the second camera to rotate synchronously in two opposite directions about the shaft.
Claims19
A camera module, comprising:
- a first camera provided with a first translation shaft;
- a second camera provided with a second translation shaft, wherein the second camera is coupled with the first camera by a shaft, the first camera and the second camera being symmetrical about the shaft and each configured to photograph a non-wide-angle image;
- and
- a driving component coupled with the first translation shaft and the second translation shaft and configured to drive the first translation shaft and the second translation shaft to move in opposite directions and drive the first camera and the second camera to rotate synchronously in two opposite directions about the shaft.
A camera module, comprising:
- a first camera provided with a first translation shaft;
- a second camera provided with a second translation shaft and coupled with the first camera by a shaft, the first camera and the second camera being symmetrical about the shaft and each configured to photograph a non-wide-angle image;
- and
- a driving component coupled with the first translation shaft and the second translation shaft to drive the first camera and the second camera to move towards each other or away from each other and drive the first camera and the second camera to rotate synchronously about the shaft towards each other or away from each other.
A terminal, comprising:
- a processor, a battery cover, and a camera module, wherein the camera module comprises:
- a first camera;
- a second camera coupled with the first camera by a shaft, the first camera and the second camera being symmetrical about the shaft and each configured to photograph a non-wide-angle image;
- and
- a driving component coupled with the first camera and the second camera to drive the first camera and the second camera to rotate about the shaft and obliquely protrude from the battery cover;
- and
- the processor is coupled with the camera module and configured to instruct the driving component of the camera module to drive the first camera and the second camera to rotate synchronously about the shaft in two opposite directions, and to instruct the first camera and the second camera to photograph at least two non-wide-angle images in different ranges of viewing angles during rotation, and to synthesize the non-wide-angle images into a wide-angle image,
- wherein the first camera is provided with a first translation shaft the second camera is provided with a second translation shaft, the driving component is coupled with the first translation shaft and the second translation shaft to drive the first translation shaft and the second translation shaft to move in opposite directions and drive the first camera and the second camera to rotate synchronously in two opposite directions about the shaft.
