Portable Device Camera Fast Association Function
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Portable devices with camera modules lack user-friendly functions for quickly associating captured images with user functions, making it inconvenient to utilize camera features effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method for executing a fast association function in portable devices, allowing users to rapidly and conveniently operate camera functions by registering and executing user functions directly with captured images, using a configuration that includes a radio frequency unit, input unit, audio processing unit, touch screen, memory unit, and controller to facilitate image processing and user function integration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If the portable device stores the captured image in a folder and requires user to search for it, then the image storage function is achieved, but the time consumption and operation complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing the association between captured images and user functions through a registration process. When a user function is registered with the camera, the system automatically links the captured image to that function, so that when the image is captured, the corresponding user function is immediately activated without requiring manual search or selection. This resolves the contradiction by performing the association action in advance, eliminating the time and operational steps needed for later access.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the portable device provides only basic camera functions, then the device complexity is reduced, but the user function versatility decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality by creating a registration mechanism that allows any user function to be associated with the camera module. The registration process stores the correspondence between user functions and camera operations in a database, enabling the camera to trigger various user functions (messaging, photo sharing, video calling, etc.) based on pre-registered associations. This approach provides versatile user function support while maintaining relatively simple device structure, as the same registration and association mechanism can support multiple different user functions without requiring separate dedicated systems for each function.

AI summary
A portable device and a method of executing the fast association function of a camera are provided. The method includes activating the camera, capturing a gathering image using the camera, activating a user function registered as an associated function of the camera when the gathering image is captured, and performing the registered user function based on the gathering image.
