Multi-Camera Image Integration Control Method
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current image capturing devices require complex procedures for users to stitch images or videos from two different cameras into a single media, involving separate capturing and resizing steps.
Innovation Solution
A controlling method and electronic apparatus with a control unit that automatically triggers a second camera to generate media data after the first media data is created, integrating both into a third media data, reducing the need for user intervention in switching and resizing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual switching between cameras is performed, then image capturing can be controlled, but the operation process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit is pre-configured with the sequence of operations to automatically switch between first and second cameras. When image stitching is detected, the control unit automatically triggers the second camera to capture an image without requiring manual user intervention, thereby simplifying the operation process and reducing time loss.
2Productivity
If separate capturing and resizing procedures are performed, then image processing can be completed, but the procedure becomes lengthy and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit merges the image capturing from both cameras with the resizing operation into a single integrated process. After the second camera captures an image, the control unit automatically resizes and stitches both images together, combining multiple steps into one streamlined procedure that improves productivity while reducing procedure complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting when the first camera captures an image, triggering the second camera to capture its image, and then automatically resizing and stitching them together. This eliminates the need for manual user intervention in each step, allowing the system to complete the entire image stitching process autonomously.

AI summary
A controlling method, suitable for a first camera unit and a second camera unit, is disclosed herein. The controlling method include following steps. The first camera unit is triggered to generate a first media data by shooting a first image or recording a first video. In response to the first media data is generated, the second camera unit is automatically triggered to generate a second media data by shooting a second image or recording a second video. The first media data and the second media data are configured to be integrated into a third media data.
