Microsoft has patented a unique solution for camera on Surface phones and tablets. He hides her under the screen.
Although mobile phone and tablet manufacturers still face challenges with front-facing camera quality, 2022 is likely to be the year that cameras these will be hidden below the screen. According to LetGoDigital, Microsoft has patented a unique solution which they call the Logo Camera (Logo Camera).
Their solution uses 4 cameras, each of which is monochrome and tuned to one of the 4 main colors of the Microsoft logo. This trick allows the cameras on the screen to be invisible. Additionally, Microsoft uses these 4 colors of its logo as a color filter for cameras, and only activates them when the camera is active.
So a color pattern will appear on the screen, which in the case of Microsoft would conveniently be the company's logo. This would of course work, also conveniently, as an active index finger of an active camera, who is important to her protection privacy, especially with indistinguishable cameras below the screen.
We do not know how another company could bring these basic colors to its measure, but as far as MIcrosoft is concerned it is definitely a very unique approach. The company's patent you can see it here.
Note: The news is transmitted with every reservation, because no matter how much we searched in the Patent Department of America, we did not find the specific serial number of the patent. The photos are the product of a professional graphic designer who created them from scratch, according to his imagination and based on the Microsoft patent.
