Abstract

A method for focusing on an object to capture an image of that object is provided. The method includes obtaining the travel time between the point in time that an ultrasonic signal is sent and the point in time at which the reflected signal is received. The method also includes obtaining environment information of the electronic device based on location/position information. The method further includes determining local sound speed according to environment information and determining the distance to an object using the local sound speed and the travel time. In addition, the method can include focusing on the object according to the object distance.
