Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, require manual adjustment of photography parameters like brightness, contrast, and exposure for different scenes, which can be inconvenient and time-consuming, and do not account for user preferences or habits.

Innovation Solution

A method that determines the current photographing scene using a convolutional neural network, acquires pre-stored historical adjustment information, calculates current adjustment information based on this data, and adjusts the preview image accordingly, allowing automatic parameter adjustment without user intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual adjustment of photography parameters is required for different scenes, then the device can accommodate various photography needs, but the operation becomes inconvenient and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephotography parameter adjustment capabilityVSAvoidmanual parameter adjustment convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically adjusts photography parameters by analyzing historical adjustment information and current scene characteristics, enabling the device to serve itself without requiring manual user intervention for parameter adjustment in different photography scenes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-stores historical adjustment information from previous photography sessions and uses it to proactively determine optimal parameters before the user needs to adjust them, allowing the device to prepare adjustment settings in advance based on scene recognition

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual adjustment of photography parameters is required, then users can control each parameter, but the process does not account for user preferences or habits

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter control flexibilityVSAvoidautomatic parameter adjustment
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates user feedback by analyzing historical adjustment information from previous sessions to understand user preferences and habits, then uses this feedback to automatically determine optimal photography parameters that align with individual user behavior patterns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically adapts to user preferences by learning from historical data and making parameter adjustments autonomously, eliminating the need for users to manually control each parameter while still personalizing results to their specific preferences

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If automatic scene recognition is implemented, then parameter adjustment becomes faster, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter adjustment speedVSAvoidscene recognition system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary scene recognition and parameter determination automatically based on historical data, preparing adjustment settings in advance before the user needs them, which speeds up the overall process while using manageable computational resources

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses historical adjustment information as a template or copy from previous similar scenes, applying proven parameter settings to current scenes without requiring complex real-time analysis, thus maintaining simplicity while achieving fast adaptation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
