2. Description of the Related Art
The advent of small, mobile multipurpose devices such as smartphones and tablet or pad devices has resulted in a need for high-resolution, small form factor cameras for integration in the devices. Some small form factor cameras may incorporate optical image stabilization (OIS) mechanisms that may sense and react to external excitation/disturbance by adjusting location of the optical lens on the X and/or Y axis in an attempt to compensate for unwanted motion of the lens. Some small form factor cameras may incorporate an autofocus (AF) mechanism whereby the object focal distance can be adjusted to focus an object plane in front of the camera at an image plane to be captured by the image sensor. In some such autofocus mechanisms, the optical lens is moved as a single rigid body along the optical axis (referred to as the Z axis) of the camera to refocus the camera. In addition, high image quality is easier to achieve in small form factor cameras if lens motion along the optical axis is accompanied by minimal parasitic motion in the other degrees of freedom, for example on the X and Y axes orthogonal to the optical (Z) axis of the camera. Thus, some small form factor cameras that include autofocus mechanisms may also incorporate optical image stabilization (OIS) mechanisms that may sense and react to external excitation/disturbance by adjusting location of the optical lens on the X and/or Y axis in an attempt to compensate for unwanted motion of the lens.
In some embodiments, a plurality of expected values of a drive current corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of potential values of a Hall sensor output is determined. An actual value of the Hall sensor output is measured. An actual value of the drive current is measured. A potential value of the Hall sensor output corresponding to the actual value of the Hall sensor output is selected. The expected value of the drive current associated with the selected potential value of the Hall sensor output is compared to the actual value of the drive current. A value of the drive current is adjusted to reduce a difference between the expected value of the drive current associated with the selected potential value of the Hall sensor output to the actual value of the drive current.
This specification includes references to “one embodiment” or “an embodiment.” The appearances of the phrases “in one embodiment” or “in an embodiment” do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner consistent with this disclosure.
“Comprising.” This term is open-ended. As used in the appended claims, this term does not foreclose additional structure or steps. Consider a claim that recites: “An apparatus comprising one or more processor units . . . ” Such a claim does not foreclose the apparatus from including additional components (e.g., a network interface unit, graphics circuitry, etc.).
“Configured To.” Various units, circuits, or other components may be described or claimed as “configured to” perform a task or tasks. In such contexts, “configured to” is used to connote structure by indicating that the units/circuits/components include structure (e.g., circuitry) that performs those task or tasks during operation. As such, the unit/circuit/component can be said to be configured to perform the task even when the specified unit/circuit/component is not currently operational (e.g., is not on). The units/circuits/components used with the “configured to” language include hardware—for example, circuits, memory storing program instructions executable to implement the operation, etc. Reciting that a unit/circuit/component is “configured to” perform one or more tasks is expressly intended not to invoke 35 U.S.C. §112, sixth paragraph, for that unit/circuit/component. Additionally, “configured to” can include generic structure (e.g., generic circuitry) that is manipulated by software and/or firmware (e.g., an FPGA or a general-purpose processor executing software) to operate in manner that is capable of performing the task(s) at issue. “Configure to” may also include adapting a manufacturing process (e.g., a semiconductor fabrication facility) to fabricate devices (e.g., integrated circuits) that are adapted to implement or perform one or more tasks.
“First,” “Second,” etc. As used herein, these terms are used as labels for nouns that they precede, and do not imply any type of ordering (e.g., spatial, temporal, logical, etc.). For example, a buffer circuit may be described herein as performing write operations for “first” and “second” values. The terms “first” and “second” do not necessarily imply that the first value must be written before the second value.
“Based On.” As used herein, this term is used to describe one or more factors that affect a determination. This term does not foreclose additional factors that may affect a determination. That is, a determination may be solely based on those factors or based, at least in part, on those factors. Consider the phrase “determine A based on B.” While in this case, B is a factor that affects the determination of A, such a phrase does not foreclose the determination of A from also being based on C. In other instances, A may be determined based solely on B.
Introduction to Thermal Compensation for Sensors
Some embodiments include camera equipment outfitted with controls to improve the position accuracy of a miniature actuation mechanism for a compact camera module. More specifically, in some embodiments, compact camera modules include actuators to deliver functions such as autofocus (AF) and optical image stabilization (OIS). One approach to delivering a very compact actuator for OIS is to use a Voice Coil Motor (VCM) arrangement. In this preferred arrangement, plural magnets are bonded to the moving body of the OIS actuator. For size and efficiency reason, these magnets are also used as part of the AF actuator housed inside the moving body of the OIS actuator. An arrangement of coils is mounted on the fixed body of the OIS actuator, along with an arrangement of Hall sensors.
For OIS, it is embodiments are frequently implemented in systems with two independent actuators moving the moving body of the OIS actuator in two orthogonal directions. Hence it is useful to employ at least two Hall sensors, to detect the position of the moving body of the OIS actuator in each of the directions. As current is applied to the OIS coils, the magnetic field generated interacts with the magnetic field of the magnets to generate forces that move the moving body in the desired manner. As the magnet moves, this changes the magnetic field through the Hall sensor, which in turn alters the voltage across the sense terminals of the Hall sensor.
Some embodiments allow the Hall sensor output voltage to be very well correlated to the position of the moving body, such that the Hall sensor output can be used as a measure of position, and be used to feedback the position, and allow more accurate positioning. Using a VCM, in some embodiments the forces generated are substantially linear with applied current, and hence assuming the moving body is suspended on the fixed body using substantially linear springs, the position of the moving body is substantially proportional to the applied VCM current.
Some embodiments allow the actuator to maintain positional accuracy over a wide temperature range, providing compensation for several factors that degrade positional accuracy as the temperature changes. In some embodiments, the dominant factor that degrades positional accuracy is corrected to first order. In some embodiments this algorithm does not require a factory calibration of individual actuators at plural temperatures to achieve this first order correction. Various factors exist that degrade positional performance. For example, the Hall sensor output voltage may change by approximately 0.5% if the temperature changes by 40 C. However, it is found that a camera, the Hall sensor voltage changes are sometimes nearer 5%, meaning that the changes are not attributable to the Hall sensor component. It is found that the dominant factor is the change in the magnetic field produced by the magnet, due to the reversible demagnetization effect. Some embodiments provide compensation for changes in the magnetic field produced by the magnet by using information about the sensitivity of the VCM actuator itself, and the Hall sensor.
As discussed above, when operating the actuator at different temperatures a number of factors cause the VCM sensitivity and the Hall sensor gain to drift. However, the dominant effect is the change in magnetic field from the magnet. Some embodiments make use of the calibration data of the VCM and Hall sensors at the time of manufacture to compensate for the change in magnetic field strength. The algorithm works by detecting that the current required to achieve a given Hall sensor reading is not what is expected based on the factory calibration (when appropriately corrected for factors such as camera orientation and any other correction algorithms to correct for other effects). The correction algorithm is then run. For the closed loop operation case, the algorithm determines the difference in the actual applied current from the expectation based on previous calibration and correction routines. Then the algorithm adjusts the demanded Hall sensor position so that the applied drive current is half way between the expected current, and the actual current at the original demanded Hall sensor demand. As can be seen from embodiments, the current half way between the actual current and the expected current would be a current 5% higher than the expected current, which is exactly the value required to compensate for the magnetic field change (assuming this is the dominant effect).

Contact/motion module 130 may detect contact with touch screen 112 (in conjunction with display controller 156) and other touch sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). Contact/motion module 130 includes various software components for performing various operations related to detection of contact, such as determining if contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger-down event), determining if there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement across the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., detecting one or more finger-dragging events), and determining if the contact has ceased (e.g., detecting a finger-up event or a break in contact). Contact/motion module 130 receives contact data from the touch-sensitive surface. Determining movement of the point of contact, which is represented by a series of contact data, may include determining speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and/or an acceleration (a change in magnitude and/or direction) of the point of contact. These operations may be applied to single contacts (e.g., one finger contacts) or to multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g., “multitouch”/multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 and display controller 156 detect contact on a touchpad.
Contact/motion module 130 may detect a gesture input by a user. Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns. Thus, a gesture may be detected by detecting a particular contact pattern. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting a finger-up (lift off) event at the same position (or substantially the same position) as the finger-down event (e.g., at the position of an icon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting one or more finger-dragging events, and subsequently followed by detecting a finger-up (lift off) event.

Each of the above identified modules and applications correspond to a set of executable instructions for performing one or more functions described above and the methods described in this application (e.g., the computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (i.e., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules may be combined or otherwise re-arranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 102 may store a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 102 may store additional modules and data structures not described above.
In some embodiments, device 100 is a device where operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad. By using a touch screen and/or a touchpad as the primary input control device for operation of device 100, the number of physical input control devices (such as push buttons, dials, and the like) on device 100 may be reduced.
The predefined set of functions that may be performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad include navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by the user, navigates device 100 to a main, home, or root menu from any user interface that may be displayed on device 100. In such embodiments, the touchpad may be referred to as a “menu button.” In some other embodiments, the menu button may be a physical push button or other physical input control device instead of a touchpad.
Device 100 may also include one or more physical buttons, such as “home” or menu button 204. As described previously, menu button 204 may be used to navigate to any application 136 in a set of applications that may be executed on device 100. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed on touch screen 112.
In one embodiment, device 100 includes touch screen 112, menu button 204, push button 206 for powering the device on/off and locking the device, volume adjustment button(s) 208, Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card slot 210, head set jack 212, and docking/charging external port 124. Push button 206 may be used to turn the power on/off on the device by depressing the button and holding the button in the depressed state for a predefined time interval; to lock the device by depressing the button and releasing the button before the predefined time interval has elapsed; and/or to unlock the device or initiate an unlock process. In an alternative embodiment, device 100 also may accept verbal input for activation or deactivation of some functions through microphone 113.
It should be noted that, although many of the examples herein are given with reference to optical sensor/camera 164 (on the front of a device), a rear-facing camera or optical sensor that is pointed opposite from the display may be used instead of or in addition to an optical sensor/camera 164 on the front of a device.
Each magnet is poled so as to generate a magnetic field, the useful component of which for the autofocus function is orthogonal to the optical axis of the camera/lens, and orthogonal to the plane of each magnet proximate to the autofocus coil, and where the field for all four magnets are all either directed towards the autofocus coil, or away from it, so that the Lorentz forces from all four magnets act in the same direction along the optical axis.
Note that, in some embodiments, an optics assembly 4000 of an actuator assembly may not include magnets and magnet holder(s) 4006, but may include a yoke or other structure 4006 that may be used to help support the optics assembly on suspension wires 4020 via upper sprigs 4030. However in some embodiments, optics assembly 4000 may not include elements 4006. In general, other embodiments of an optics assembly 4000 may include fewer or more components than the example optics assembly 4000 shown in
The autofocus yoke (e.g., magnet holder(s) 4006) acts as the support chassis structure for the autofocus mechanism of actuator 4000. The lens carrier (optics holder 4004) is suspended on the autofocus yoke by an upper autofocus (AF) spring 4040 and a lower optics spring 4042. In this way when an electric current is applied to the autofocus coil, Lorentz forces are developed due to the presence of the four magnets, and a force substantially parallel to the optical axis is generated to move the lens carrier, and hence lens, along the optical axis, relative to the support structure of the autofocus mechanism of the actuator, so as to focus the lens. In addition to suspending the lens carrier and substantially eliminating parasitic motions, the upper spring 4040 and lower spring 4042 also resist the Lorentz forces, and hence convert the forces to a displacement of the lens. This basic architecture shown in
At least some embodiments may achieve this two independent degree-of-freedom motion by using two pairs of optical image stabilization coils, each pair acting together to deliver controlled motion in one linear axis orthogonal to the optical axis, and each pair delivering controlled motion in a direction substantially orthogonal to the other pair. In at least some embodiments, these optical image stabilization coils may be fixed to the camera actuator support structure, and when current is appropriately applied, optical image stabilization coils may generate Lorentz forces on the entire autofocus mechanism of the actuator, moving it as desired. The required magnetic fields for the Lorentz forces are produced by the same four magnets that enable to the Lorentz forces for the autofocus function. However, since the directions of motion of the optical image stabilization movements are orthogonal to the autofocus movements, it is the fringing field of the four magnets that are employed, which have components of magnetic field in directions parallel to the optical axis.
Returning to
The Hall sensor 510 is also responsive to the vertical component of the magnetic field 560, but is insensitive to the horizontal component. This means that in the hypothetical case, where the magnet 540 is centered, the Hall sensor 510 output is close to zero (in practice the Hall sensor 510 will frequently have an offset voltage). It is assumed that at the time of manufacture, an actuator package 500 will undergo a calibration stage, whereby the actuator package 510 is exercised, and its actual position is measured by an external sensor, whilst the drive current required to hold the measured position, AND the Hall sensor 510 reading are both measured, correlated with the external measure of position, and stored in a look-up table. From these values, both the VCM sensitivity and the Hall sensor 510 gain can be determined under the environmental conditions of the actual test.
