Camera Composition Frame Alignment via Dynamic Inversion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in aligning the composition of a captured image with a recommended composition in image pickup apparatuses due to camera shaking, leading to a blurred composition and increased user burden.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a captured image acquisition unit, subject recognition unit, and control unit that displays a recommended composition frame on the captured image, fixing it when the composition is similar, reducing the perceived effort in aligning the image with the recommended composition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user performs pan, tilt, zoom, rotation operations to fit the composition, then the composition can be adjusted to match the recommended configuration, but the image pickup apparatus shakes and blurs the composition
Solution Approach 1:
The recommended composition frame automatically adjusts and repositions itself according to the user's pan, tilt, zoom, and rotation operations without requiring manual intervention. The frame moves autonomously to maintain alignment with the recommended composition while the captured image remains stationary, eliminating the need for the user to perform precise manual adjustment operations.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of moving the captured image to align with the recommended composition (which causes shaking and blurring), the patent inverts the approach by moving the recommended composition frame to align with the captured image. This inversion eliminates the need for the image pickup apparatus to physically adjust its position, thereby preventing blur while achieving composition alignment.
2Loss of information
If the recommended composition frame moves to indicate composition changes, then the user can see the alignment status, but the user feels the composition is hard to match
Solution Approach 1:
The recommended composition frame automatically repositions itself in response to user operations, providing continuous visual feedback about composition alignment without requiring the user to manually adjust or interpret complex information. The frame's autonomous movement clearly indicates whether the captured image composition matches the recommended configuration, reducing user cognitive load and operational burden.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the composition of the captured image is slightly moved, then the user can perform flexible operations, but the recommended composition frame moves and the user feels the composition cannot be matched
Solution Approach 1:
The recommended composition frame is designed to be dynamic, automatically adjusting its position and appearance in real-time according to the user's operations and the captured image composition. When the composition is slightly moved or adjusted, the frame dynamically repositions to maintain accurate alignment indication, providing continuous feedback that helps the user understand the current composition status without creating operational difficulty.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a captured image acquisition unit, a recommended composition acquisition unit, and a control unit. The captured image acquisition unit acquires captured image data, a subject recognition unit that recognizes a subject of a captured image based on the captured image data. The recommended composition acquisition unit acquires recommended composition data representing a recommended composition of the subject. The control unit allows a display unit to display a display screen including the captured image, a frame representing the subject, and information about the recommended composition, changes the display of the frame when the composition of the captured image is similar to the recommended composition, and fixes and displays the frame being changed in display.
