In general, techniques are described regarding fusing or combining frames of image data to generate composite frames of image data. Cameras comprising camera processors configured to perform the techniques are also disclosed. A camera processor may capture multiple frames at various focal lengths. The frames of image data may have various regions of the respective frame in focus, whereas other regions of the respective frame may not be in focus, due to particular configurations of lens and sensor combinations used. The camera processor may combine the frames to achieve a single composite frame having both a first region (e.g., a center region) and a second region (e.g., an outer region) in focus.

Image fusion

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for image focusing for devices including multiple cameras. An example method includes estimating a focus distance associated with an image captured by a first camera, determining, based at least in part on the estimated focus distance, to switch from the first camera to a second camera, switching from the first camera to the second camera, completing a focusing operation using the second camera and presenting an updated image captured by the second camera.

Automatic focus distance extension

The disclosure provides a terminal access method and a terminal access device. The method comprises: determining, according to a value within an Enhanced Access Barring (EAB) parameter corresponding to an Access Class (AC) configured by a system, whether to allow access of a terminal corresponding to the AC; when the corresponding AC is determined to be not barred according to the EAB parameter, then according to a common Access Class Barring (ACB) parameter broadcasted by the existing system, performing access allowed judgment; when the corresponding AC is determined to be barred according to the EAB parameter, then, according to a barring time parameter configured by the system, calculating a barring time for re-accessing the system. In the method of the disclosure, the EAB and the existing ACB mechanism are jointly processed, solving the problem of possible impact on a system caused when large numbers of delay-insensitive or low-priority services or terminals access a network simultaneously. Also, during the occurrence of an unexpected event, as the EAB applicable terminal is provided with appropriate control, this type of terminal is prevented from accessing the system directly without constraints, and the duration of system congestion during the unexpected event is shortened.

Terminal access method and device

A method, a mobility management unit and a gateway unit for restricting access and communication of a machine type communication (MTC) device are provided by the present invention. The method includes: a mobility management unit judging whether an access request or a service request of the MTC device is currently in a permission period according to the permission period of the MTC device; when the access request or the service request is not in the permission period, rejecting the access request or service request of the MTC device and notifying the MTC device of the rejection cause and/or the permission period at a meantime. The present invention can ensure that the MTC device only communicates in the permission period, and the MTC device is restricted to access the network or communicate in the non-permission period according to the requirement of the operator.
