The video call application may be provided in an icon interface form on a screen of the electronic device 100. According to an embodiment, if the video call application is executed, the camera 130 may be automatically turned on but may be turned on according to a user command depending on a case. According to an embodiment, if the camera 130 is not turned on or is not connected or if it is not possible to capture an image due to other reasons (e.g. a failure), a blank page may be transmitted to the at least one external device 21, 22, 23.
The at least one external device 21, 22, 23 may be a user terminal of a video call attendee connected through the video call application. According to an embodiment, the video call application may be implemented as a video conference application and the at least one external device 21, 22, 23 may be a user terminal of a conference attendee who is remotely attending in a video conference through the video conference application. According to an embodiment, the captured image may be transmitted to the at least one external device 21, 22, 23 via an external server (not shown) communicating with the video conference application but hereinafter, for convenience of the description, transmission from the electronic device 100 to the at least one external device 21, 22, 23 is described.

For example, a touch signal sensed in a touch module included in the electronic device 100 may be transferred to the video conference application and the relevant function may be provided. This may be a separate function from a writing function provided by the electronic device 100. Here, the touch signal may include at least one of a touch coordinate, a touch size, a pen pressure value, or a gradient value.
According to an embodiment, a writing screen of the electronic device 100, for example, the electronic board may be transmitted to at least one external device 21, 22, 23 through the screen sharing function of the video conference application but to change the transmitted image from the captured image to the screen image, a separate operation is needed. For example, the transmitted image may be changed through various menu operations of a depth such as ‘Tool>Screen sharing>Select one of document/full screen/blackboard/camera’.
Accordingly, hereinafter, described are various embodiments in which the captured image and the screen image are automatically changed and transmitted depending on a context upon executing the video call application.
According to
The display 110 may be implemented as a display including a spontaneous emission element or a display including a non-spontaneous element and backlight. For example, it may be implemented as various types of displays such as a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, a light emitting diode (LED) display, a micro LED display, a mini LED display, a plasma display panel (PDP), a quantum dot (QD) display, and a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) display. The display 110 may include a driving circuit, a backlight unit, or the like which may be implemented in a form such as an a-si TFT, a low temperature poly silicon (LTPS) TFT, or an organic TFT (OTFT). Meanwhile, the display 110 may be implemented as a flexible display, a rollable display, a 3D display, a display in which a plurality of display modules are physically connected, or the like.
According to an embodiment, the display 110 may include a touch module. According to an embodiment, the touch module may include a sensor such as a touch sensor or a proximity sensor or may include a sensor and an operation device. For example, the operation device may be implemented as a micro controller unit (MCU), a micro processor unit (MPU), or the like which reads instructions embedded in a register, an operation circuit, and a control circuit and executes an operation and a control operation but is not limited thereto. According to an embodiment, the touch module may obtain and transfer information about the touch input sensed through the touch sensor to the processor 150. Here, the information about the touch input may include a touch coordinate, a touch size, a pen pressure value, gradient information, or the like. Meanwhile, a passive type electronic pen 10 may not detect a pen pressure and thus the touch module is to transfer a preset pen pressure value to the processor 150.
According to an embodiment, the touch sensor may be implemented as at least one of a capacitive sensor, a decompressive sensor, an infrared sensor, or an ultrasonic sensor. The capacitive sensor means a type of sensor which uses a dielectric with which a surface of the display is coated and when part of a body of a user touches the surface of the display, detects micro electricity excited to the body of the user and calculates a touch coordinate. The decompressive sensor means a type of touch sensor which includes two electrode plates, senses flow of currents as upper and lower plates contact at the touched point, and calculates a touch coordinate. The infrared sensor means a touch sensor using a property that light has a property of going straight even though it is not visible to human eyes and if there is an obstacle, it is prevented and may not proceed. Besides, a surface acoustic wave conduction method, an integral tension measurement method, a piezo effect method, or the like may be used for sensing a touch operation.
Besides, the touch sensor may determine whether a touch object such as a finger or a stylus pen contacts the display 110 or whether it is close to the display 110, for example, by using a magnetic and magnetic field sensor, an optical sensor, a proximity sensor, or the like.
According to an embodiment, a capacitive touch sensor may have an electrode pattern structure as shown in
According to an embodiment, an infrared touch sensor may be mounted onto the display 110, wherein an infrared LED that is a light emitting element and a photo-transistor (or a photo-diode) that is a light receiving element are arranged to be faced to each other, thereby making an opto-matrix frame. For example, if a screen is selected by an object which may prevent light such as a finger on the display 110 onto which the opto-matrix frame is mounted, light emitted from an infrared light emitting diode is prevented by the finger and is not sensed by the opposite photo-transistor and thus it is possible to know which cell is blocked. For example, as shown in
The communication interface 120 may be a component performing a communication with at least one external device 21, 22, 23. Meanwhile, according to an embodiment, the communication interface 120 may perform a communication with the at least one external device 21, 22, 23 through a server (not shown).

The camera 130 may be turned on according to a preset event and perform capturing. For example, the camera 130 may be turned on if a video call application, for example, a video conference application is executed. According to an embodiment, the camera 130 may be implemented as an external camera which may be communicatively connected to/disconnected from the electronic device 100. According to an embodiment, the camera 130 may be implemented as a camera embedded in a center part of a bezel on an upper side of the electronic device 100.
The camera 130 may convert the captured image to an electric signal and generate image data based on the converted signal. For example, a subject is converted to an electric image signal through a semiconductor optical device, a charge coupled device (CCD), and the converted image signal as above is amplified and converted to a digital signal and then may be signal processed.
The sensor 140 may include various types of sensors. For example, the sensor 140 may include a proximity sensor, a pen holder sensor (e.g. a pressure sensor or a magnetic sensor), or the like. Here, the proximity sensor may be embedded in the display 110 or be embedded in the camera 130 but is not limited there to.

For example, the memory 160 may store a control program for controlling the electronic device 100 and the processor 150, an application initially provided by a manufacturer or downloaded from an outside, a database, or related data. For example, the memory 160 may store a video call application, a video conference application, or the like according to an embodiment.
According to an embodiment, the memory 160 may store an image, that is, an input image, various data, information, or the like received from an external device (e.g. a source device), an external storing medium (e.g. a USB), an external server (e.g. webhard), or the like.
According to an embodiment, the memory 160 may be implemented as single memory storing data generated from various operations according to the disclosure. Meanwhile, according to another embodiment, the memory 160 may be implemented to store each different type of data or to include a plurality of memory storing each data generated from different steps.
In the aforementioned embodiment, it is described that various data is stored in the external memory 160 of the processor 150 but at least part of the data may be stored in memory inside the processor 150 according to at least one embodiment among the electronic device 100′ or the processor 150.

According to an embodiment shown in
The processor 150 may transmit the captured image obtained through the camera 130 to the at least one external device 21, 22, 23 connected through the video call application (S420). According to an embodiment, the video call application may be implemented as a video conference application and the at least one external device 21, 22, 23 may be a user terminal of a conference attendee who is attending in a video conference through the video conference application. Meanwhile, according to an embodiment, if the camera 130 is not turned on, the processor 150 may transmit a screen image of the display 110.
Hereinafter, for convenience of the description, it is assumed that the video call application is implemented as the video conference application.
If a touch input to the display 110 is identified or predicted based on at least one of a signal detected through the sensor 140 or a signal received from an input device capable of receiving the touch input (S430), the processor 150 may transmit a screen image of the display 110 to the at least one external device 21, 22, 23 (S440). Here, the sensor 140 may include a sensor included in a pen holder, a proximity sensor, a touch sensor, or the like.
As an example, as shown in
According to an embodiment, the input device capable of receiving the touch input may be implemented as the electronic pen 10 (
Meanwhile, it is obvious that even if the electronic pen is implemented in a passive method, the touch input may be identified through the touch module. The passive method is a method that the electronic device 100 senses the touch input of the electronic pen 10 and there are a capacitive method, an Electro Magnetic Resonance (EMR) method, or the like. In the case that the electronic pen is implemented in the capacitive method, it may include a conductive tip having a certain area and in the case that the electronic pen is implemented in the EMR method, it may include a coil inducing electricity by an external magnetic field signal. For example, if PIEZO is inserted into a display panel end, the PIEZO detects pressing of the panel and a pressing force is converted into an electric signal and through this, a pen pressure may be measured.
Hereinafter, various embodiments of identifying or predicting a touch input to the display 110 based on at least one of a signal detected through the sensor 140 or a signal received from the input device capable of receiving the touch input are described.
According to an embodiment shown in
As an example, if the pen holder 710 includes the pressure sensor, a pressure may be detected from the pressure sensor included in the pen holder 710 while the electronic pen 10 is mounted onto the pen holder 710 as shown in
As an example, if the pen holder 710 includes the magnetic sensor, magnetism may be detected from the magnetic sensor included in the pen holder 720 while the electronic pen 10 is mounted onto the pen holder 720 as shown in
Thereafter, the processor 150, if a pressure or magnetism is detected by the pressure sensor or the magnetic sensor included in the pen holder 710, 720 while the screen image of the display 110 is being transmitted, may identify that the electronic pen 10 is mounted on the pen holder (S630) and may transmit the captured image instead of the screen image of the display 110 (S640).
According to an embodiment shown in
Thereafter, if the processor identifies that the user is not positioned within a preset distance based on the signal obtained by the proximity sensor while the screen image of the display 110 is transmitted (S830), it may transmit the captured image instead of the screen image of the display 110 (S840). That is, this is because if the user is far away from the electronic board, the processor may predict that the user will not use the electronic board any more.
According to an embodiment, the preset distance may be identified based on a view angle of the camera 130 and a preset size of a space. Here, the preset area may be a space where attendees of the video conference are positioned. For example, as shown in
As an example, if the view angle is 110° (a view angle of a general camera is) 80°˜110° and a distance between attendees of the conference is 2 M, the preset distance may be D=2/2*tan (90°−110°/2)=1*tan 35°=0.7M.
With reference to Equation 1, in order that the camera 130 captures the attendees of the conference, the distance between the electronic board to which the camera 130 is attached and the attendees of the conference is to be apart from each other at a preset distance (e.g. 0.7 M).
For example, the processor 150, if the user is not recognized within the preset distance D as shown in
Meanwhile, in the aforementioned embodiment, whether the user is approaching may be determined in real time but the screen conversion may be made in a criterion of the preset time. For example, after approach of the user is identified, the approach of the user is not continuously identified for a preset time or more, the screen conversion may be made.
According to an embodiment shown in
Thereafter, the processor 150, if it identifies that the electronic pen is not being used for the preset time or more based on the signal received from the electronic pen 10 while the screen image of the display 110 is being transmitted, may transmit the captured image instead of the screen image of the display 110.
For example, as shown in
On the contrary, the processor 150, if the signal is not received from the electronic pen 10, may identify that the electronic pen 10 is not being used and may transmit the captured image to the at least one external device 21, 22, 23. For example, as shown in
Meanwhile, in the aforementioned embodiment, whether the electronic pen 10 is being used or not may be determined in real time but the screen conversion may be made in a criterion of a preset time. For example, only when it is identified that the electronic pen 10 is not being used continuously for a preset time or more after use of the electronic pen 10 is identified, the screen conversion may be made.
According to an embodiment, the processor 150 may control the display 110 to display the application screen received from the external source device (not shown). In this case, the processor 150, if the touch input to the display 110 is identified or predicted, may control the display 110 to display an application screen received from the external source device (not shown) and transmit the application screen to the at least one external device 21, 22, 23. For example, if the processor 150 displays the application screen received from the external source device (not shown), it may transmit the touch signal corresponding to the touch input to the external source device (not shown) and receive and display the application screen updated according to the touch signal from the external source device (not shown). Here, the touch signal may include at least one of a touch coordinate, a touch size, a pen pressure value, or a gradient value. Accordingly, the application screen received from the external source device (not shown) may be transmitted to the at least one external device 21, 22, 23.
According to an embodiment, the processor 150 may control the display 110 to display the application screen received from the external source device (not shown). In this case, the processor 130, if the touch input to the display 110 is identified or predicted in a state that a note function is on, may capture and transmit the screen image of the display 110 to the at least one external device 21, 22, 23. Here, the note function may be a function of providing a touch layer separate from a display layer in which the application screen is provided. According to an embodiment, the note function may be activated according to selection of the user. For example, this is because if only the screen displayed on the display layer is transmitted when writing is made through the note function, the writing content inputted through the touch layer may not be transmitted.
According to an embodiment, the processor 150, if the touch input to the display 110 is identified or predicted, may transmit an image including the captured image in one area of the screen image of the display 110 to the at least one external device 21, 22, 23. For example, the processor 150, if the touch input is identified or predicted while the application screen is displayed on the display 110 and the captured image is being transmitted to the at least one external device 21, 22, 23, may transmit the image including the captured image in one area on the application screen to the at least one external device 21, 22, 23. In this case, the captured image may be included in a Picture In Picture screen (PIP) form but is not limited thereto.
For example, as shown in
According to an embodiment, the processor 150 may adjust a size of one area including the captured image based on a frequency of the touch input to the display 110 and transmit the application screen including the captured image of which size is adjusted to the at least one external device 21, 22, 23.
According to an embodiment, the processor 150, if it identifies a preset motion of the user included in the captured image while the screen image of the display 110 is being transmitted to the at least one external device 21, 22, 23, may transmit the captured image to the at least one external device 21, 22, 23. For example, as shown in
At least part of configurations included in the aforementioned various embodiments and the drawings may be combined with at least part of configurations included in other embodiments and other drawings.
According to the aforementioned various embodiments, when using the video conference application in the electric board, a camera captured screen and an electric board screen may be automatically converted according to the context without an additional user operation and may be transmitted to a terminal of the conference attendee.
Also, even in the case of the electronic board that is not connected to the camera, the electronic board screen instead of a blank screen may be transmitted to the terminal of the attendee of the conference.
Meanwhile, the aforementioned methods according to various embodiments may be implemented in a form of an application installable in the existing electronic device. Also, at least part of the methods according to various embodiments of the disclosure as above may be performed by using a deep learning-based AI model, i.e. a learning network model.
Also the aforementioned methods according to various examples of the disclosure may be implemented only with a software upgrade or a hardware upgrade with respect to the existing electronic device.
Also, it is possible to perform the aforementioned various examples of the disclosure through an embedded server included in the electronic device or the external server of the electronic device.
