A device for extracting depth information according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: a light outputting unit for outputting IR (Infrared) light; a light inputting unit for inputting light reflected from an object after outputting from the light outputting unit; a light adjusting unit for adjusting the angle of the light so as to radiate the light into a first area including the object, and then for adjusting the angle of the light so as to radiate the light into a second area; and a controlling unit for estimating the motion of the object by using at least one of the lights between the light inputted to the first area and the light inputted to the second area.

Device for extracting depth information and method thereof

A device for extracting depth information according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a light outputting unit for outputting IR (InfraRed) light; a light inputting unit for inputting light reflected from an object after outputting from the light outputting unit; a light adjusting unit for adjusting the angle of the light so as to radiate the light into a first area including the object, and then for adjusting the angle of the light so as to radiate the light into a second area; and a controlling unit for estimating the motion of the object by using at least one of the lights between the light inputted to the first area and the light inputted to the second area.

One embodiment relates to a proximity sensor, a camera module comprising same, and a mobile terminal comprising same and comprises: a housing; a substrate disposed inside the housing; a sound output unit mounted on the substrate; a display unit disposed on the upper side of the housing; a camera module comprising a proximity sensor, which comprises a light-emitting unit and a light-receiving unit and detects the proximity of a user to the display unit at a predetermined distance by having the light-emitting unit and the light-receiving unit disposed at either side of the sound output unit, and a control unit for receiving the amount of light emitted by the light-emitting unit and the amount of light received by the light-receiving unit as inputs from the proximity sensor so as to operate the display unit; and a cover unit disposed on the display unit and provided over the sound output unit and the proximity sensor.

Proximity sensor, camera module comprising same, and mobile terminal comprising same

A device for extracting depth information, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a light output unit for outputting infrared (IR) light; a light adjustment unit for adjusting an angle of the light outputted from the light output unit such that the light scans a first region including an object, and then adjusting the angle of the light such that the light scans a second region, which is a portion of the first region; a light input unit in which the light outputted from the light output unit and reflected from the object is inputted; and a control unit for extracting depth information of the second region by using the flight time taken up until the light outputted from the light output unit is inputted into the light input unit after being scanned to and reflected from the second region.
