Abstract
An electronic device includes a device housing having a front side and a rear side, a first image capture device positioned on the front side, and a second image capture device positioned on the rear side. One or more processors of the electronic device cause, in response to user input received at a user interface requesting the second image capture device capture an image of an object, the first image capture device to capture another image of a user delivering the user input. The one or more processors then define an image orientation of the image of the object to be the same as another image orientation of the other image of the user.
Claims20
A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- capturing, with a first image capture device, an image of a user of the electronic device;
- determining, with one or more processors, an image orientation associated with the image of the user;
- and
- defining, with the one or more processors, another image orientation associated with a second image capture device to be the same as the image orientation associated with the image of the user.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a device housing having a front side and a rear side;
- a first image capture device positioned on the front side;
- a second image capture device positioned on the rear side;
- a user interface;
- and
- one or more processors;
- the one or more processors causing the first image capture device to capture at least one image of a user and defining an image orientation of an image of an object captured by the second image capture device to be the same as another image orientation of the at least one image of the user.
A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- initiating a scanning operation using an image capture device to scan an object;
- capturing, with another image capture device of the electronic device, an image of a source of user input initiating the scanning operation;
- determining, with one or more processors, whether the image of the source is in a portrait orientation or a landscape orientation;
- and
- causing, by the one or more processors, output of the scanning operation to have an image orientation that is the same as that of the image of the source.
