In recent times there have been a ton of rumous about the Huawei Microscopic camera system that the company is working on. Well, this camera system is a patent under Huawei’s name and might make its way to devices soon. Having a microscope lens on your device is something that most people might not care about, but it has its benefits.

Huawei explains the benefits and possible usage of this technology under its patent. The technology works just like on an actual microscope and can help users spot microorganisms using the cameras. For this system to work the main cameras on the device will have to work together with the microscope cameras.

This means that in the future Huawei might launch a device that has microscopic lenses on the rear camera cutout. Already, most devices have macro cameras for taking close-up shots of objects, but this system from Huawei takes things forward. Let’s now have a look at this new patent and how it’ll work on smartphones.

Details on the Huawei Microscope camera system patent and the technology’s possible usage

The patent of Huawei’s microscope camera system shows off details on how it functions. It also points out two major components this system works with. One of these components is the regular camera and the second is the microscopic camera (2 Math.m optical resolution).

For the entire system to work and capture a microscopic shot of an object both cameras need to work together. The main camera takes the first shot and this helps the system to identify what object is under consideration. So this camera’s job is to identify what object the microscopic camera is to analyse for microorganisms.

After this identification process is over, the microscopic camera then kicks in to perform its role in the entire process. The microscopic camera analyses the entire image to uncover micro information. This analysis covers the objects that the main camera was able to identify within the image, and it then gives results.

Users just need to tap on the objects within the image to get the analysis of the object in question. This will pull up intelligent prompts that can come in the form of text, voice, vibration, and indicators. These prompts will follow a breakdown of details on the microorganisms present on the object.

With this system, users will be able to find out how hygienic the object is and what microorganisms are present in it. The prompts will guide users on what they should do to return the object to its clean state. Once this technology rolls out, users will be able to use it to verify how safe objects around them are and what microorganism is present on these objects.
