`

`IN THE CLAIMS:
`
`Please amend the claims as follows:
`
`1.
`
`a)
`
`(Original) A zoom digital camera comprising:
`
`a Wide imaging section that includes a fixed focal length Wide lens with a Wide field
`
`of view (FOV) and a Wide sensor, the Wide imaging section operative to provide Wide
`
`image data of an object or scene;
`
`b)
`
`a Tele imaging section that includes a fixed focal length Tele lens with a Tele FOV
`
`that is narrower than the Wide FOV and a Tele sensor, the Tele imaging section operative to
`
`provide Tele image data of the object or scene; and
`
`c)
`
`a camera controller operatively coupled to the Wide and Tele imaging sections, the
`
`camera controller configured to evaluate a no-switching criterion determined by inputs from
`
`both Wide and Tele image data, and, if the no-switching criterion is fulfilled, to output a
`
`zoom video output image that includes only Wide image data in a zoom-in operation between
`
`a lower zoom factor (ZF) value and a higher ZF value.
`
`2.
`
`(Original) The camera of claim 1, wherein the no-switching criterion includes a shift
`
`between the Wide and Tele images calculated by global registration, the shift being greater
`
`than a first threshold.
`
`3.
`
`(Original) The camera of claim 1, wherein the no-switching criterion includes a
`
`disparity range calculated by global registration, the disparity range being greater than a
`
`second threshold.
`
`4.
`
`(Original) The camera of claim 1, wherein the no-switching criterion includes an
`
`effective resolution of the Tele image being lower than an effective resolution of the Wide
`
`image.
`
`5.
`
`(Original) The camera of claim 1, wherein the no-switching criterion includes a
`
`number of corresponding features in the Wide and Tele images being smaller than a third
`
`threshold.
`
`APPL—1002 / Page 2 of 435
`
`APPL-1002 / Page 2 of 435
`
`

`

`6.
`
`(Original) The camera of claim 1, wherein the no-switching criterion includes a
`
`majority of objects imaged in an overlap area of the Wide and Tele images being calculated
`
`to be closer to the camera than a first threshold distance.
`
`7.
`
`(Original) The camera of claim 1, wherein the no-switching criterion includes some
`
`objects imaged in an overlap area of the Wide and Tele images being calculated to be closer
`
`than a second threshold distance while other objects imaged in the overlap area of the Wide
`
`and Tele images being calculated to be farther than a third distance threshold.
`
`8.
`
`(Original) The camera of claim 1, wherein the camera controller includes a user
`
`control module for receiving user inputs and a sensor control module for configuring each
`
`sensor to acquire the Wide and Tele image data based on the user inputs.
`
`9.
`
`(Original) The camera of claim 8, wherein the user inputs include a zoom factor, a
`
`camera mode and a region of interest.
`
`10.
`
`(Currently amended) The camera of any—of the claims 1—9, wherein the Tele lens
`
`includes a ratio of total track length (TTL)/effective focal length (EFL) smaller than 1.
`
`11.
`
`(Currently amended) The camera of any—of the claims 1—9, wherein,
`
`if the no-
`
`switching criterion is not fulfilled, the camera controller is further configured to output video
`
`output images with a smooth transition when switching between the lower ZF value and the
`
`higher ZF value or vice versa, wherein at the lower ZF value the output image is determined
`
`by the Wide sensor, and wherein at the higher ZF value the output image is determined by the
`
`Tele sensor.
`
`12.
`
`(Currently amended) The camera of any—of the claims 1—9, wherein the camera
`
`controller is further configured to combine in still mode, at a predefined range of ZF values,
`
`at least some of the Wide and Tele image data to provide a fused output image of the object
`
`or scene from a particular point of view.
`
`13.
`
`(Original) A method for obtaining zoom images of an object or scene using a digital
`
`camera, comprising the steps of:
`
`APPL—1002 / Page 3 of 435
`
`APPL-1002 / Page 3 of 435
`
`

`

`a)
`
`providing in the digital camera a Wide imaging section having a Wide lens with a
`
`Wide field of view (FOV) and a Wide sensor, a Tele imaging section having a Tele lens with
`
`a Tele FOV that is narrower than the Wide FOV and a Tele sensor, and a camera controller
`
`operatively coupled to the Wide and Tele imaging sections; and
`
`b)
`
`configuring the camera controller to evaluate a no-switching criterion determined by
`
`inputs from both Wide and Tele image data, and,
`
`if the no-switching criterion is fulfilled, to
`
`output a zoom video output image that includes only Wide image data in a zoom-in operation
`
`between a lower zoom factor (ZF) value and a higher ZF value.
`
`14.
`
`(Original) The method of claim 13, wherein the no-switching criterion includes a shift
`
`between the Wide and Tele images calculated by global registration, the shift being greater
`
`than a first threshold.
`
`15.
`
`(Original) The method of claim 13, wherein the no-switching criterion includes a
`
`disparity range calculated by global registration, the disparity range being greater than a
`
`second threshold.
`
`16.
`
`(Original) The method of claim 13, wherein the no-switching criterion includes an
`
`effective resolution of the Tele image being lower than an effective resolution of the Wide
`
`image.
`
`17.
`
`(Original) The method of claim 13, wherein the no-switching criterion includes a
`
`number of corresponding features in the Wide and Tele images being smaller than a third
`
`threshold.
`
`18.
`
`(Original) The method of claim 13, wherein the no-switching criterion includes a
`
`majority of objects imaged in an overlap area of the Wide and Tele images being calculated
`
`to be closer to the camera than a first threshold distance.
`
`19.
`
`(Original) The method of claim 13, wherein the no-switching criterion includes some
`
`objects imaged in an overlap area of the Wide and Tele images being calculated to be closer
`
`than a second threshold distance while other objects imaged in the overlap area of the Wide
`
`and Tele images being calculated to be farther than a third threshold distance.

`APPL-1002 / Page 4 of 435
`
`

`

`20.
`
`(Currently amended) The method of any—of—t—he claims 13—1—9, further comprising the
`
`step of configuring the camera controller to combine in still mode, at a predefined range of
`
`ZF values, at least some of the Wide and Tele image data to provide a fused output image of
`
`the object or scene from a particular point of view.
`
`21.
`
`(Currently amended) The method of any—ef—the claims 13—1—9, wherein the step of
`
`configuring the camera controller to combine in still mode, at a predefined range of ZF
`
`values, at least some of the Wide and Tele image data to provide a fused output image
`
`includes configuring the camera controller to combine Wide and Tele image data only in
`
`focused areas.

`
`WARNING:
`
`Petitioner/applicant is cautioned to avoid submitting personal information in documents filed in a patent application that may

`patent. Furthermore, the record from an abandoned application may also be available to the public it the application is referenced
`in a published application or an issued patent (see 37 CFR 1.14). Checks and credit card authorization forms
`PTO—2038 submitted for payment purposes are not retained in the application file and therefore are not publicly available.
`Petitioner/applicant is advised that documents which form the record of a patent application (such as the PTO/SB/Ol) are placed
`into the Privacy Act system of records DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, COMMERCE—PAT~7, System name: Patent Application
