Abstract
A smart device may assist a user in aligning an otoscope of an otoscope clip device with a camera of the smart device. A model identification may be determined. The model identification may indicate a model associated with the smart device. An alignment image may be determined using the model identification. The alignment image may be displayed on the display of the smart device.
Claims17
A device for aligning a removable optical element, the device comprising:
- a processor, the processor configured to:
- determine a model identification, wherein the model identification indicates a model associated with the device;
- determine a pixel density for a display of the device using the model identification;
- determine an alignment image using the model identification and the pixel density, wherein the alignment image comprises a vertical alignment image and a horizontal alignment image that form an intersection, and wherein the alignment image indicates where the removable optical element is to be placed relative to a camera of the device by aligning an alignment tab of the removable optical element with the intersection;
- and
- display the alignment image on the display of the device.
A method performed by a device for aligning a removable optical element, the method comprising:
- determining a model identification, wherein the model identification indicates a model associated with the device;
- determining a pixel density for a display of the device using the model identification;
- determining an alignment image using the model identification and the pixel density, wherein the alignment image comprises a vertical alignment image and a horizontal alignment image that form an intersection, and wherein the alignment image indicates where the removable optical element is to be placed relative to a camera of the device by aligning an alignment tab of the removable optical element with the intersection;
- and
- displaying the alignment image on the display of the device.
A device for aligning a removable optical element, the device comprising:
- a camera;
- a display;
- and
- a processor, the processor configured to:
- determine one or more device parameters associated with the device, wherein the one or more device parameters comprise at least a pixel density for the display;
- determine, using the one or more device parameters, a location on the display for displaying an alignment image, wherein the alignment image comprises a vertical alignment image and a horizontal alignment image that form an intersection, and wherein the alignment image indicates where the removable optical element is to be placed relative to the camera by aligning an alignment tab of the removable optical element with the intersection;
- and
- display the alignment image at the location on the display.
