Google patents GPS and weather data

In the future, all shooting parameters will be automatically adjusted according to geographic location and weather conditions around

According to Engadget, a new patent is filed by Google with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), where it wants to use GPS and weather data to improve image quality. Captured from mobile devices. Google suggests that the GPS connection automatically refines the camera configuration based on local weather conditions, such as when the sun is shining, the camera adjusts to white balance and exposure differently when it is dark.

GPS is also used to determine whether a user is indoors or outdoors to change the shooting parameters accordingly. Google also notes that GPS-like connections can also be applied, such as GLONASS for example, as long as it supports weather data retrieval.

Although the ability to manually adjust camera settings by environment is common, combining weather and weather data will increase the accuracy of this method. It's unclear when the Google patent will be applied in the real world, hoping the company will soon integrate it into the Android phone.
