Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing camera systems face delays in imaging after focusing, leading to suboptimal image quality due to either insufficient or excessive waiting times, affecting efficiency and user experience.
Innovation Solution
A control method and device that determine an imaging wait time based on the current frame rate and a preset focusing frame number, allowing imaging only when the imaging device is in focus, thereby optimizing the wait time for better image quality and efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the imaging delay is set to be short, then the working efficiency is improved, but the image quality deteriorates because the camera forms images when focusing is not complete
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the imaging delay adjustable rather than fixed. The control device dynamically determines the delay time based on real-time focusing status detection, allowing the system to adapt between speed and quality requirements according to actual focusing progress
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback through a detection device that continuously monitors focusing status and feeds this information back to the control device. The control device uses this feedback to determine when to initiate imaging, ensuring both quality and efficiency
2Manufacturing precision
If the imaging delay is set to be long, then the image quality is improved by ensuring complete focusing, but the working efficiency deteriorates due to unnecessary waiting
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the delay time based on actual focusing progress. When focusing completes quickly, the delay is shortened; when focusing takes longer, the delay is extended. This dynamic adjustment eliminates unnecessary waiting while ensuring quality when needed
Solution Approach 2:
The feedback mechanism allows the system to detect when focusing is complete and immediately initiate imaging, eliminating unnecessary delays. The control device uses real-time status information to make informed decisions about when to capture images
3Device complexity
If a fixed delay time is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability deteriorates because the system cannot adjust to different focusing speeds
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static fixed delay into a dynamic adjustable delay. The control device calculates appropriate delay times based on detected focusing speeds, enabling adaptation to different scenarios while maintaining reasonable system complexity through algorithmic control
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the delay time parameter dynamically based on focusing status. By adjusting this single critical parameter according to real-time conditions, the system achieves high adaptability without requiring complex structural modifications

AI summary
A control method of an electronic apparatus includes determining whether an imaging device is in focus when an imaging command is received; deciding a threshold of an imaging wait time based on a current frame rate of the imaging device and a preset focusing frame number when the imaging device is not in focus; controlling a focusing process of the imaging device when the imaging wait time is less than the threshold; and controlling the imaging device for imaging when the imaging wait time being greater than or equal to the threshold. A control device for carrying out the control method and an electronic apparatus having the control device are also provided.
