Solution Overview

Problem

In applications with multi-person interaction functions, the preview picture for a streamer image captured by a camera is often stretched or compressed due to a large difference between the streamer image size and the preview size, affecting user experience when new guests join or exit the interaction.

Innovation Solution

An image display method that dynamically adjusts the camera's capture size to match the parent view size by determining a target size based on supported capture sizes, ensuring the actual capture size aligns with the parent view size, thereby preventing stretching or compression of the preview picture.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the preview size is adjusted to accommodate changing number of interaction objects, then the adaptability of the interaction interface is improved, but the image quality deteriorates due to stretching or compression

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability of interaction interfaceVSAvoidimage quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of capture size based on the number of interaction objects. The system continuously monitors interaction object count and automatically adjusts the camera capture parameters to match the required preview size, making the system adaptable without manual intervention while maintaining image quality through proportional scaling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the capture size parameter dynamically according to the number of interaction objects. By establishing a relationship between interaction object count and optimal capture size, the system adjusts parameters to prevent distortion while adapting to different interaction scenarios, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and image quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If the capture size is fixed, then the image quality is maintained, but the adaptability to different interaction scenarios deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidadaptability to interaction scenarios
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from a fixed capture size to a dynamic capture size that adapts to the number of interaction objects. The capture size is automatically adjusted based on real-time interaction state, enabling the system to maintain optimal image quality for each scenario without being constrained by a fixed parameter.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system monitors the number of interaction objects and uses this information to adjust the capture size. This closed-loop control ensures that image quality is maintained by continuously adapting the capture parameters based on actual interaction conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If the preview size is dynamically adjusted for each interaction object change, then the adaptability is improved, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability of interaction interfaceVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses dynamic adjustment with predefined capture size options corresponding to different numbers of interaction objects. This approach provides adaptability while controlling complexity by using discrete, pre-determined size levels rather than continuous adjustment, simplifying the processing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements parameter changes based on interaction object count with a predefined mapping between object numbers and capture sizes. This method achieves adaptability while managing complexity by establishing a straightforward relationship between interaction state and capture parameters, avoiding complex real-time calculations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
