Sony Ericsson has submitted a patent application for what seems to be a process to improve zoom functionality with its cameraphones. Automatic zooming is supposed to work like this: The closer you hold the cameraphone to your subject, the wider (or closer) the zoom, and the further it's held away, the more telephoto (or zoomed in) the camera will be. This interesting concept involves the use of accelerometers and proximity sensors--sort of like a Wii controller.
