             Appeal No. 2006-1020                                                           
             Application No. 09/899,066                                                     

                  The invention is directed to a control method for a                       
             CCD camera comprising: controlling movement of a lens by                       
             switching between two sets of pre-stored lens trace data,                      
             each corresponding to one of two photographing modes                           
             selected on the basis of comparing a detected illumination                     
             value to a reference illumination value.                                       
             Claims 1 and 21 are illustrative:                                              
                  1.  A control method of a CCD (Charge Coupled Device)                     
             camera having at least one photographing mode, comprising:                     
                  pre-storing trace data of a lens for the CCD camera;                      
                  detecting an illumination of a photographing region to                    
             be photographed with the CCD camera;                                           
                  comparing the detected illumination with a reference                      
             illumination value;                                                            
                  setting a photographing mode of the CCD camera on the                     
             basis of comparing the detected illumination with a                            
             reference illumination value; and                                              
                  controlling a movement of a lens of the CCD camera in                     
             accordance with the set photographing mode by using                            
             corresponding pre-stored trace data of the lens.                               
                  21.  A control method of a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device)                    
             camera having a lens and a nighttime mode and a daytime                        
             mode, comprising:                                                              
                  pre-storing first and second trace data of a lens for                     
             the CCD camera;                                                                
                                                                                           
                  detecting an illumination of a photographing region                       
             to be photographed by a CCD camera;                                            
                                                                                           


                                             2
