MULTIPLE LENSES SYSTEM AND PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE EMPLOYING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A multiple lenses system comprising:
- a lens module, the lens module comprising a plurality of lenses;
a processing unit;
a switching unit, the switching unit electrically connected to the plurality of lenses and the processing unit;
a focus module, the focus module comprising a laser emitter and a laser receiver, the laser emitter electrically connected to the processing unit and configured to emit laser beam towards an object under control of the processing unit, the laser receiver electrically connected to the processing unit and configured to receive the laser beam reflected by the object;
wherein the processing unit obtains a focus distance between the object and the focus module according to a time difference from emitting the laser beam to receiving the laser beam, and controls the switching unit to select at least one of the plurality of lenses according to the focus distance.

Abstract
A multiple lenses system includes a lens module, a processing unit, a switching unit, and a focus module. The lens module includes a plurality of lenses. The switching unit is electrically connected to the plurality of lenses and the processing unit. The focus module includes a laser emitter and a laser receiver. The laser emitter emits laser beam towards an object under control of the processing unit. The laser receiver receives the laser beam reflected by the object. The processing unit obtains a focus distance between the object and the focus module according to a time difference from emitting the laser beam to receiving the laser beam, and controls the switching unit to switch and to select at least one of the plurality of lenses according to the focus distance.
