It seems that Microsoft is currently working on developing an electronic gem that will be integrated into its upcoming mobile devices, and it comes to a new camera that will be in the form of its logo, according to what was revealed by the famous Dutch patent site LetsGoDigital

And the site says that Microsoft launched the Surface Duo, which is considered a unique device in the market, thanks to the use of two screens and a foldable hinge, and it is a particularly versatile tablet computer, but the Surface Duo also has a clear flaw which is the camera system where a camera is integrated A single 11-megapixel selfie provides poor image quality, as many expert reviews have shown, and Microsoft wants to change this in the future That's exactly what the new patent reveals

LetsGoDigital noted that in October of last year, Microsoft published an online job advertisement for a "chief Android camera system engineer" It seems that the American software giant intends to take the camera performance of the next generation of Microsoft Surface devices to the next level, which is confirmed by a patent recently filed by Microsoft Technology with the World Intellectual Property Office (OMPI) for the "logo camera" The 40-page document was released on May 14, 2021

LetsGoDigital notes that this invention is unique and unprecedented It has four front cameras placed under the screen, and each has its own color filter This technology is intended for a "mobile computing device, such as a Microsoft Surface," as stated in the documentation The four cameras together are called the "logo camera", meaning they are shaped like the Microsoft logo Through the use of color filters, which can display a colored icon, a logo matching a true color can be displayed when the camera is turned off

The site adds that by default, the Microsoft logo will be displayed, and once the camera is activated, the logo will disappear In addition, a list of icons will become available, so that users can set a logo or an avatar as they like For example, think of a company logo or a club logo

Color filters can also improve the camera's performance in low light In addition, they can be used to give feedback to the user, for example they can emit a color signal when the camera is activated
