`CAMERA WITH TOUCH SENSITIVE
`CONTROL
`
`5,923,908
`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`This invention relates generally to the field of
`photography, and in particular to the field of cameras and
`camera controls.
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`Modern cameras have an increasing number of features
`requiring more interaction with the user, Such as Setting time
`and date, flash operation, and exposure controls. To facilitate
`interactions with the users, these cameras incorporate a
`display, Such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen. Many
`manufacturers use a combination of buttons, Switches, and
`dials for the user interface. A camera with a reconfigurable
`mechanical button is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,408,287.
`The main camera function is that of the Shutter release
`button. Desirable features for this function include intuitive
`location So the user can find it by touch, low force operation,
`low component cost, and a two position activation feature,
`where the first position causes the camera to perform cal
`culations for focus range detection, exposure calculation,
`automatic flash activation, and user notification of param
`eterS Such as low light level that may affect image quality.
`The Second position, which is reached after passing through
`the first position, activates the shutter. U.S. Pat. No. 4,247,
`188 is an example of the prior art using this two position
`activation. This allows the user to frame and “lock' settings
`related to the current image, and in the case of user notifi
`cation functions, Such as a warning light, the user can elect
`to not take the picture and take corrective action.
`FIG. 1 shows a user interface according to the prior art,
`with camera 10, a conventional display Screen 12, Shutter
`release button 14, and user interface buttons 16 and 18. One
`of the problems with the current art is the increasing number
`of functions require more buttons and complex menu
`schemes to provide the interface functions with the fewest
`number of buttons. Additionally, the location of the shutter
`button 14 on camera 10 as shown in FIG. 1 can cause camera
`shake, especially if the button is “punched”. It is well known
`in the art to use an electronic shutter release to reduce the
`force required for Shutter activation, as described in U.S.
`Pat. No. 4,199,245. However, placing an electronic shutter
`release at the same location as a mechanical Shutter release
`encourages using the Same force level.
`In another example of the current art, the Nikon Coolpix
`300 digital camera uses a touch Screen display as the user
`interface. It has a conventional two position Shutter release
`button, as well as a triggered shutter activation from touch
`ing a permanent icon adjacent to the display Screen.
`However, this Second Shutter release does not have a two
`position activation, So there is no means to use the partial
`activation as described earlier
`Another example of using touch Screens with cameras
`(specifically electronic cameras) are described in U.S. Pat.
`No. 4,827.347. The display is used to select images from a
`plurality of displayed images.
`It would be desirable then, to provide a camera with many
`controls for controlling different camera functions, and yet
`which controls permit a user to readily find and use Such
`controls. It would further be desirable in the case of a shutter
`control, if a two position Shutter function could be preserved
`but with a reduction in the tendency of a user to “punch” the
`control with consequent camera vibration during picture
`taking.

`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`The present invention recognizes that a way to provide
`shutter control with little or no vibration when the shutter is
`used, is to provide the Shutter as a touch Sensitive control.
`Further, the present invention realizes that a way to provide
`many camera controls which can be re-located and sized as
`desired by a user, and a way to provide multiple position
`controls (such as a two-position shutter or a Zoom lens)
`while avoiding vibration during picture taking, is to provide
`the controls on a touch Sensitive display which is under the
`control of a processor. The present invention then, provides
`a camera which in one aspect comprises:
`(a) a touch sensitive control having first and Second
`positions Spaced apart along a Surface of the camera;
`(b) a shutter; and
`(c) a processor connected to the touch sensitive control
`and the Shutter, So that as a user Slides a finger from the
`first to the Second positions, the shutter is operated.
`The invention provides that the touch sensitive control
`may particularly be a touch Sensitive Screen, in which case
`the processor can display on the Screen a Shutter icon with
`first and Second positions on the icon which act as the
`foregoing first and Second positions.
`In another aspect of the present invention, the touch
`Sensitive control or icon can be used for controlling a Zoom
`lens, So that a user can Select multiple Zoom positions of the
`camera by touching respective positions on the icon.
`In a still further aspect of the present invention, there is
`provided a camera comprising:
`(a) a touch sensitive Screen;
`(b) a camera control which controls at least one function
`of the camera; and
`(c) a processor connected to the touch sensitive Screen and
`the camera control, to display a camera control icon at
`different user Selectable positions or sizes on the Screen,
`So that touching the icon controls the corresponding
`camera function.
`The present invention allows for some or all of the user
`interface through the display Screen and touch input. This
`reduces the parts count, and allows for more flexibility in the
`user interface. In addition, incorporating the Shutter release
`in the touch Screen interface further simplifies the electron
`ics of the camera. The provision of a “touch and slide'
`Shutter control allows for a partial push pre-exposure
`feature, while the sliding motion provides the Shutter release
`feature and has the added advantage of leSS camera Shake.
`The invention also provides easily reconfigurable icon posi
`tions and sizes, Specifically for Shutter, allowing the user to
`customize the camera in accordance with an individual’s
`picture taking Style or physical requirements.

`DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE
`INVENTION
`By a touch sensitive control (Such as a touch sensitive
`Screen) in the present invention, unless a contrary indication
`appears, is referenced a control which can Sense the touch of
`a user's finger or instrument of similar size (for example, a
`Stylus). Such touch sensitive controls generally require little
`or no preSSure to operate, although there will typically be at
`least Some Small amount of preSSure from a finger or other
`instrument used to access the control. A touch Sensitive
`control allows a processor connected to the control, to
`determine the location of a finger or Similar sized
`instrument, on the control. For example, a touch Sensitive
`Screen allows a processor connected to it to determine the
`location on the Screen being touched by the finger or
`instrument.
`Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown the back of a camera
`20 with a touch sensing liquid crystal display (“LCD')
`Screen 22 and a Shutter release activation 28 according to the
`preferred embodiment of the invention. Camera 20 has a
`housing with a lens (not shown), the housing when closed
`being essentially light tight other than for light entering
`through the lens. A Sensor location is provided in camera 20
`to receive light from an image passing through the lens after
`passing through a shutter. Camera 20 may have an electronic
`Sensor (Such as a CCD) at the Sensor location) or be
`constructed to receive a frame of a conventional light
`35
`Sensitive Silver halide emulsion film at that location. A
`battery holder is provided within the camera housing. Cam
`era 20 typically has dimensions of no greater than 30 cm, by
`20 cm, by 10 cm, and a weight (without batteries) of no
`greater than 2 or 3 kg (and usually less than 1 kg).
`Camera 10 also has the additional feature of a stylus input
`device 24 and Stylus Storage space 26 for adding notation to
`images, the operation of which is described in U.S. patent
`application Ser. No. 08/808,702 filed Feb. 28, 1997, now
`U.S. Pat. No. 5,845,161 which is incorporated by reference.
`The touch Sensing Screen 22 can be any one of devices well
`known in the art, Such as resistive, capacitive, or electro
`magnetic position Sensors that are placed in front or behind
`the display. A number of touch Screen technologies are
`described in the Nov. 9, 1995 issue of Electronic Design
`News, pg. 52-62. That reference and all other references
`cited herein, are incorporated in this application by refer
`ence. FIG. 2 shows the display in the “main” or default
`mode. This mode displayS Standard information about the
`camera, Such as frame number, film Speed, date and time,
`and virtual “buttons' in the form of icons 27 and 29, on the
`Screen 22, as well as a shutter release activation icon 28.
`Touching icon 27 allows the user to control camera flash,
`while touching icon 29 allows a user to access other camera
`function controls (in the form of icons displayed by micro
`processor 30), Such as exposure program parameter control.
`The touch Sensing electronics detects the coordinates of the
`Stylus or finger touch and responds to a touch at a label
`location in the same manner as a button.
`FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of the camera System,
`showing the operative coupling between the camera micro
`processor 30 and the elements of the camera system. Micro

`processor 30 can be any microprocessor programmed to
`carry out the functions required of it, as described in this
`application. Alternatively, microprocessor 30 can be
`replaced by equivalent hardware elements or a combination
`of hardware/software as required to perform all required
`functions. Microprocessor 30 causes icons to be displayed
`on the display aspect 32 of touch Sensitive Screen 22, and
`also receives signals from the touch Sensitive aspect 34
`which indicate the location of a user's finger or other
`instrument. Based on the position of a user's touch on touch
`Sensitive Screen 22, the microprocessor will operate as if a
`button corresponding to the icon location were pressed. The
`user indicator 46 incorporates a device Such as a light
`emitting diode (LED) to indicate conditions requiring user
`intervention, such as flash not ready. Microprocessor 30 can
`determine one or more picture taking parameters based on
`data received from a light Sensor 40 and focus detection
`System 42. Picture taking parameters include camera opera
`tion parameters as well as parameters of the Scene to be
`photographed, and can include Scene light conditions, flash
`required, camera flash not ready, and the like. Microproces
`Sor 30 can control camera parameters, Such as camera lens
`focus control motor 36, a Zoom lens control motor 38, a
`Shutter 44, and an aperture 45, based on the Signals received
`from Sensor 40, focus detection System 42, and any user
`input parameters.
`Returning to FIG. 2, when the user touches the shutter
`icon 28 of touch sensitive screen 22, microprocessor 30
`checks focus range and exposure data, in a Similar manner
`as is done upon a partial push of a mechanical Shutterbutton.
`When any determined picture taking parameter is outside a
`preSelected value, microprocessor 30 can activate user indi
`cator 46 to warn a user, or alternatively or in addition, can
`disable a camera function Such as shutter activation. To
`actually take the picture, the user's finger is slid in the
`direction of the arrow in FIG. 2 (that is moved from a first
`position 28a to a second position 28b of shutter icon 28).
`This corresponds to a full shutter press of a conventional
`mechanical shutter button in conventionally shuttered cam
`eras. Operation in this manner prevents “punching” of the
`Shutter button, reducing camera Shake. An additional advan
`tage of this feature is that during data entry modes, Such as
`Setting the date and time, processor 30 removes Shutter icon
`28 from display aspect 32 of screen 22 (or alternatively
`disables Shutter activation), eliminating inadvertent expo
`
`SUCS.
`To better understand the operation of the shutter
`activation, reference is made to the flow chart of FIG. 4. At
`Step S1, the camera has been turned on and is in the powered
`up idle State, ready to take a picture. At S2 a finger touch is
`detected on the touch screen sensor aspect 34. Step S3
`checks to see if the touch is on the first position 28a of
`shutter icon 28. If not, control returns to S1 or the operation
`of other buttons, depending on where the touch occurred. If
`the user is touching the first position 28a of the shutter icon
`28, processor 30 performs picture parameter calculations
`Such as focus and exposure values at Step S4. Control passes
`to S5, which waits for a change in the touch position on
`touch Sensitive Screen 22. If the change is anything but a
`Slide in the direction of the arrow, Such as a movement or a
`lift of the finger, control passes to S8, which clears the
`calculated parameters and returns to S1. If a slide to the
`Second position 28b occurs, the camera activates the Shutter
`and returns to the idle state S1, passing through S8. It is
`important to note that if the finger touches anywhere on the
`Screen other than the beginning of the Shutter activation
`Stroke, control will not pass to S4, and no picture will be
`taken.

`
`S
`FIG. 5 shows another feature of the invention, as a
`reconfigurable shutter icon 28. As shown in the embodiment
`of FIG. 5, the user can select from more than one position
`for the Shutter release icon. This can be accomplished by
`allowing mode icon 29 to access a user Selectable shutter
`icon positioning mode. In this mode, the user is allowed to
`either pick from a plurality of pre-Selected positions on
`screen 22, or to “drag and drop” shutter icon 28 to whatever
`location on touchSensitive Screen 22 is desired. For example
`then, Shutter icon can be moved between the right and left
`hand side positions on display 22 as shown in FIG. 5.
`FIG. 6 shows mode of the touch screen interface, which
`incorporates a Zoom control function. This mode can also be
`accessed through mode control icon 29. In this mode, the
`user can Zoom the lens toward a telephoto or a wide angle
`position by pressing a telephoto icon portion 68 or the wide
`angle icon portion 64, respectively, of a Zoom icon. Proces
`Sor 30 will make the corresponding Zoom adjustments
`through Zoom motor 38. In addition, the Screen gives the
`added advantage of touching at a position anywhere along a
`line 66 of the Zoom icon, which causes the Zoom to go
`directly to that Zoom position rather than continuously
`pressing the telephoto or wide angle icons. AS another
`option, processor 30 can Sense the rate of a sliding motion
`along line 66 and adjust Zoom motor 38 at a corresponding
`rate of the detected sliding motion.
`FIG. 7 illustrates Screen 22 after the user has entered a
`user Selectable icon sizing mode. This mode can be accessed
`through mode icon 29. This mode allows a user to recon
`figure touch Screen icons by allowing users to Select different
`sizes for any given icon, depending on personal preferences
`or physical requirements. Thus, Shutter icon 28 can be
`changed in size between a larger size (shown on the right
`hand side of FIG. 7) and a smaller size (shown on the left
`hand side of FIG. 7). When in this mode, a user can change
`the size of an icon by touch Selection by either Selecting one
`of a number of predetermined possible sizes, or Selecting
`any size Such as by dragging one end of the icon.
`It will be appreciated that other camera control icons, in
`addition to Shutter control and Zoom control, can be accessed
`through mode icon 29, for use of different camera controls
`corresponding to those icons, and/or for modifying the
`position or Size of any of those icons on Screen 22. Such
`icons can represent camera controls Such as shutter Speed,
`aperture control, flash unit control, control of the film
`position within the camera (e.g. load, rewind, advance/back
`one frame, and the like), camera power control, captured
`picture format control (e.g. capture a picture in an actual
`panoramic, high definition television, or other aspect mode,
`or record an indication on the film of Such a selected mode).
`Also, at least for shutter icon 28, this could be replaced by
`an equivalent permanent touch Sensitive control on the
`camera housing which would still provide the advantage of
`avoiding camera Shake during picture taking. However, this
`would not provide the advantage of a re-configurable
`(location and size) shutter control.
`It will be understood that other variations and modifica
`tions can be effected within the Spirit and Scope of the
`invention. Accordingly, the present invention is not limited
`to Such specifically described embodiments.
