Camera App Merging POI Data for One-Click Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current image shooting and sharing methods on electronic devices lack interaction with users, as they only provide simple image information such as shooting time and location, without easily accessible content-related information.
Innovation Solution
The method involves displaying a shooting preview interface that includes information about a target point of interest corresponding to the device's current location, allowing users to shoot images with enriched information and easily share them on associated interfaces within target applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the electronic device displays only simple image information (shooting time, location), then the device complexity is low, but the information richness and user interaction are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the camera application with point of interest (POI) information and sharing functionality. When the camera captures an image, it automatically retrieves and displays POI information related to the shooting location, and provides one-click sharing to social media applications. This integration enriches image information without requiring separate manual operations from the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic device's camera system is enhanced to perform multiple functions simultaneously: capturing images, retrieving location-based POI information, displaying enriched image metadata, and sharing to multiple social applications. This multi-functionality allows a single system to handle diverse tasks that would otherwise require separate applications or manual steps.
2Ease of operation
If the electronic device provides detailed image information and sharing options, then user interaction is improved, but the operation steps increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically retrieving POI information based on the shooting location before the user needs to share the image. The enriched image information is prepared in advance, and when the user initiates sharing, the system already has all necessary data ready, eliminating the need for users to manually search or input information.
Solution Approach 2:
The sharing process is segmented into automated background tasks (retrieving POI info, preparing image metadata) and a simple user action (one-click share). This segmentation allows complex information processing to occur automatically while the user only needs to perform a single simple operation to complete the sharing process.
3Productivity
If the electronic device integrates multiple functions (shooting, information display, sharing), then productivity is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines camera functionality, location-based information retrieval, and social media sharing into a single integrated workflow. The camera application serves as the hub that coordinates with location services and social media applications, allowing users to complete the entire image sharing process through one application interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The camera application acts as an intermediary that bridges the gap between image capture, location-based information retrieval, and social media sharing. It manages the coordination between these different functions and applications, handling the complexity of integration while presenting a simplified interface to the user.

AI summary
An image shooting and sharing method includes that an electronic device displays a shooting preview interface in response to a first operation of a user, where the shooting preview interface includes information about a target point of interest, and the target point of interest is a point of interest corresponding to a current location of the electronic device. In response to a second operation of the user, the electronic device obtains a target image through shooting, where image information of the target image includes a part or all of the information about the target point of interest. The electronic device shares the target image on an associated interface of the target point of interest in a target application after a third operation of the user.
