    Abstract: A position of a lens is detected by detecting, using a phototransistor, light that is emitted from a photodiode and that varies depending on lens position. A control unit divides a moving range of the lens into a plurality of areas, approximates a relationship between lens positions and current of the phototransistor for each of the areas, corrects a current of the phototransistor using the approximated relationship so as to obtain a corrected detection current having a linear relationship with respect to lens positions, and detects the position of the lens using the obtained corrected detection current.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology may comprise methods and apparatus for focus control in an imaging system. The methods and apparatus may comprise various circuits and/or systems configured to measure the ambient temperature of the lens module and compute a corrected target position based on known thermal characteristics of the lens and/or the lens barrel. Factors used to obtain the corrected target position may comprise the material the of the lens barrel, the thermal time constant of the lens barrel, the linear expansion coefficient of the lens barrel, the effective focal length (EFL) of the lens, the thermal response of the lens, and/or the temperature characteristic coefficient of the EFL.

    Abstract: Light from a photodiode is detected using a phototransistor. At the time of startup, set data concerning a detected current is received at a communication interface, and the received set data is compared with the detected current. A control unit adjusts a current of the phototransistor so that the detected current matches the set data.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology may provide methods and system for an integrated circuit. The system may provide, at most, two integrated circuits (i.e., slave devices) connected to and configured to communicate with a host device (i.e., a master device). At least one of integrated circuits may comprise a first interface and a second interface, wherein the second interface is connected to the host in a manner that is opposite that of the first interface.
