Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a lighting system for modifying visual perception of an image. In one embodiment, the lighting system includes a display screen and a frame that is designed to be reversibly coupled around the display screen. The frame includes a first light source and a second light source positioned about a perimeter of the frame. The first light source provides key light and the second light source provides fill light. The lighting system also includes a processor operatively connected to the frame to individually control the light intensity, temperature, or brightness of the first and second light sources. The lighting system also may include a camera disposed adjacent to the display screen to capture images. In this embodiment, the processor is connected to the camera and the processor automatically enhances the captured images and displays the enhanced images as a mirror reflection on the display screen.

Claims

1. A mobile device, comprising:

a processor-enabled device that includes a device body having a display positioned on the front of the device body;

a lens system for capturing images, wherein at least a portion of the lens system is positioned above the display; and

a lighting system positioned proximate to the lens system, the lighting system providing key light above the lens system and the display providing fill light below the lens system, wherein the key and fill lights are of different intensity,

wherein the lighting system includes a frame around the device body, the frame having a perimeter including a plurality of light sources positioned about the perimeter of the frame, the perimeter having a top section, a bottom section, and two side sections, and wherein the at least one light source of the plurality of light sources is positioned on each section.

2. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the light sources are light-emitting diodes.

3. The lighting system of claim 1, wherein the frame is designed to be reversibly coupled around the device body.

4. The mobile device of claim 1, further including a microphone housed within the device body.

5. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the display includes a touch screen.

6. A mobile device, comprising:

a device body having a display positioned on the front of the device body;

a lens system for capturing images, wherein at least a portion of the lens system is positioned above the display;

a lighting system positioned proximate to the lens system, the lighting system providing key light above the lens system and the display providing fill light below the lens system, wherein the key and fill lights are of different intensity;

wherein the lighting system includes a frame around the device body, the frame having a perimeter including a plurality of light sources positioned about the perimeter of the frame, the perimeter having a top section, a bottom section, and two side sections, and wherein the at least one light source of the plurality of light sources is positioned on each section; and

a processor housed within the device body, wherein the processor controls one or more operations of the lens system including automatically enhancing the captured images for presentation on the display.

7. The mobile device of claim 6, wherein the light sources are light-emitting diodes.

8. The lighting system of claim 6, wherein the frame is designed to be reversibly coupled around the device body.

9. The mobile device of claim 6, further including a microphone housed within the device body.

10. The mobile device of claim 6, wherein the display includes a touch screen.

11. A computing device, comprising:

a display positioned on the front of the computing device;

an image capturing system for capturing images, wherein at least a portion of the image capture system is positioned above the display;

a lighting system positioned about the image capturing system, the lighting system providing key light above the image capturing system and the display providing fill light below the image capturing system, wherein the key and fill lights are of different intensity;

wherein the lighting system includes a frame around the computing device, the frame having a perimeter including a plurality of light sources positioned about the perimeter of the frame, the perimeter having a top section, a bottom section, and two side sections, and wherein the at least one light source of the plurality of light sources is positioned on each section; and

a processor housed within the computing device, wherein the processor controls one or more operations of the image capturing system including automatically enhancing the captured images for presentation on the display.

12. The computing device of claim 11, wherein the light sources are light-emitting diodes.

13. The lighting system of claim 11, wherein the frame is designed to be reversibly coupled around the device body.

14. The computing device of claim 11, further including a microphone housed within the device body.

15. The computing device of claim 11, wherein the display includes a touch screen.
