Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If 4K HDR mode is enabled to increase resolution and refine picture quality, then manufacturing precision and device complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepicture qualityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The camera system integrates multiple photographing modes (4K HDR, slow motion, time-lapse, portrait) within a single camera module, allowing one device to perform multiple functions. This reduces the need for separate specialized cameras while maintaining high picture quality across different modes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts photographing parameters such as resolution, frame rate, and exposure settings based on the selected mode and detected scenario. For example, 4K HDR mode activates specific parameter sets for high resolution and dynamic range, while slow motion mode adjusts frame rate accordingly, optimizing picture quality without requiring separate hardware for each mode.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If AI automatic scenario identification is added to automatically identify scenarios and recommend LUT templates, then device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The camera system performs automatic scenario identification and LUT template selection without requiring user intervention. The AI algorithm automatically analyzes the captured image, identifies the scenario (e.g., portrait, landscape, night), and applies the appropriate LUT template to achieve cinematic effects, making the system self-sufficient in optimizing photographing parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual process of selecting photographing modes and adjusting parameters is replaced by an automated AI-based scenario identification system. Instead of requiring users to manually configure settings, the system uses image recognition algorithms to automatically determine the scenario and apply appropriate processing, substituting mechanical user interaction with intelligent automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple photographing modes and functions are integrated into one camera, then adaptability improves but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The camera system integrates multiple photographing modes (4K HDR, slow motion, time-lapse, portrait) and processing functions (LUT templates, scenario identification) within a single camera module, allowing one device to perform multiple functions. This reduces the need for separate specialized cameras while maintaining high picture quality across different modes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The camera system dynamically switches between different photographing modes and processing parameters based on user selection and automatic scenario detection. The system can adaptively adjust resolution, frame rate, exposure, and LUT template application in real-time, providing versatile functionality without requiring separate hardware for each mode.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

This application provides a photographing method and an electronic device. The method includes: after a user operation is received to enable a movie shooting mode, identifying a photographing scenario based on a collected preview image, and recommending a target LUT template that matches the photographing scenario; and when a third operation performed by a user on a movie shutter control is received, shooting and generating a target video based on the target LUT template, so that a high-quality movie video is shot.
