Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic apparatus autonomously performs photography by predicting optimal shooting compositions and movement paths without requiring user intervention. The system uses neural network models to automatically determine camera positioning, zoom levels, and movement trajectories, enabling non-professional users to achieve professional-quality videos through autonomous decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts multiple camera parameters including position, direction, zoom level, and exposure settings based on real-time image analysis. By continuously optimizing these parameters through neural network predictions, the system transforms fixed equipment into an adaptive system that automatically adjusts to capture optimal compositions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If robots are equipped with cameras but lack automatic photography capability, then device simplicity is maintained, but functionality deteriorates

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

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic apparatus integrates multiple functions including image capture, neural network-based composition prediction, movement path planning, and autonomous camera control into a single device. This multi-functional integration enables robots and other electronic devices to perform complex photography tasks automatically, enhancing their versatility without requiring separate specialized systems.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual mechanical control with neural network-based automated control. Instead of requiring physical manipulation of camera equipment, the system uses computational models to predict optimal compositions and control movement, substituting mechanical operations with intelligent decision-making processes.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The neural network model predicts optimal shooting compositions and movement paths in advance before actual photography occurs. By pre-calculating the best camera positioning and trajectory based on analyzed images, the system eliminates trial-and-error adjustments and executes photography operations directly according to predictions, significantly reducing time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors captured images and uses this feedback to refine neural network predictions for subsequent photography operations. This iterative feedback mechanism enables real-time optimization of composition and movement, ensuring efficient use of time while improving photography quality through continuous learning and adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
