Abstract
An electronic device, according to various embodiments, may comprise: a first camera having a first viewing angle; a second camera having a second viewing angle; and a processor for causing the first camera to monitor each of one or more subjects, and causing the second camera to photograph a subject that has moved from among the one or more subjects. Other embodiments are possible.
Claims13
An electronic device, comprising:
- a first camera with a first viewing angle;
- a second camera with a second viewing angle;
- a main body;
- a moving unit including one or more wheels placed on the bottom of the main body and one or more motors for moving the one or more wheels;
- a first arm part connected with the main body and having the second camera placed thereon;
- a driving module including one or more motors for controlling a movement of the first arm part;
- and
- a processor configured to monitor each of one or more objects using the first camera, determine whether each of the one or more objects has been moved while monitoring each of the one or more objects, identify an order of the capturing moved objects among the one or more objects obtained by the first camera, and sequentially capture the moved objects among the one or more objects using the second camera based on a relocation of the one or more objects while monitoring each of the one or more objects according to the identified order of capturing,
- wherein the order of capturing is identified to perform capturing to one side from the other side, and
- wherein the processor is configured to control the driving module to relocate the second camera based on the position of the moved objects to capture the moved objects without movement of the main body, if the moved objects are positioned within the first viewing angle of the first camera, and control the moving unit to move the main body so that the moved objects are positioned within the first viewing angle of the first camera, if the moved objects are positioned off the first viewing angle of the first camera.

A method of capturing an image by an electronic device, the method comprising:
- monitoring each of one or more objects using a first camera with a first viewing angle of the electronic device;
- determining whether each of the one or more objects has been moved while monitoring each of the one or more objects;
- identifying an order of capturing moved objects among the one or more objects obtained by the first camera;
- and
- sequentially capturing the moved objects among the one or more objects using a second camera with a second viewing angle of the electronic device based on a relocation of the one or more objects while monitoring each of the one or more objects according to the identified order of capituring,
- wherein the order of capturing is identified to perform capturing to one side from the other side, and
- wherein the capturing the moved objects includes controlling a driving module, including one or more motors for controlling a movement of a first arm part, to relocate the second camera based on the position of the moved objects to capture the moved objects without movement of a main body, if the moved objects are positioned within the first viewing angle of the first camera, and controlling a moving unit, including one or more wheels placed on the bottom of the main body and one or more motors for moving the one or more wheels, to move the main body so that the moved objects are positioned within the first viewing angle of the first camera, if the moved objects are positioned off the first viewing angle of the first camera.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium recording a program for capturing an image by an electronic device, the program, when executed, causing a processor of the electronic device to perform operations comprising:
- monitoring each of one or more objects using a first camera with a first viewing angle of the electronic device;
- determining whether each of the one or more objects has been moved while monitoring each of the one or more objects;
- identifying an order of capturing moved objects among the one or more objects obtained by the first camera;
- and
- sequentially capturing a moved object among the one or more objects using a second camera with a second viewing angle of the electronic device based on a relocation of the one or more objects while monitoring each of the one or more objects according to the identified order of capturing,
- wherein the order of capturing is identified to perform capturing to one side from the other side, and
- wherein the capturing the moved objects includes controlling a driving module, including one or more motors for controlling a movement of a first arm part, to relocate the second camera based on the position of the moved objects to capture the moved objects without movement of a main body, if the moved objects are positioned within the first viewing angle of the first camera, and controlling a moving unit, including one or more wheels placed on the bottom of the main body and one or more motors for moving the one or more wheels, to move the main body so that the moved objects are positioned within the first viewing angle of the first camera, if the moved objects are positioned off the first viewing angle of the first camera.
