Camera Application Pattern Code Trigger Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile devices require separate applications to recognize and process pattern codes, which can be inconvenient for users, as they do not seamlessly integrate image capturing and pattern code detection within a single camera application.
Innovation Solution
A mobile device and method that utilize a camera application to simultaneously display an image capturing interface and a pattern code trigger only when a pattern code is recognized, allowing users to store images and pattern code information without needing a separate application, by using a processor to control the display and sensor units to detect input signals and provide triggers for image and pattern code capture.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If separate applications are used for image capturing and pattern code detection, then each application can be optimized for its specific function, but the device complexity increases and user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines image capturing and pattern code detection functions into a single camera application. The camera application simultaneously performs image capturing through the camera unit and pattern code detection through the sensor unit, eliminating the need for separate applications and improving user convenience while reducing device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The camera application is designed with multi-functionality to handle both image capturing and pattern code detection. The processor controls both the camera unit for image capturing and the sensor unit for pattern code detection, allowing a single application to serve multiple purposes and simplifying the user interface
2Ease of operation
If pattern code trigger is always displayed, then users can easily access pattern code information, but the display complexity increases and battery power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The pattern code trigger is dynamically displayed only when a pattern code is detected by the sensor unit. This dynamic display mechanism ensures that the trigger appears when needed (when pattern code information access is required) and disappears when not needed, reducing unnecessary battery power consumption while maintaining ease of access to pattern code information when available
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects pattern codes using the sensor unit and activates the pattern code trigger display without requiring manual user input. The system serves itself by autonomously detecting pattern codes and presenting relevant information, reducing the need for continuous display and thereby conserving battery power
3Productivity
If separate applications are used for image capturing and pattern code detection, then each function can operate independently, but the time required to switch between applications increases
Solution Approach 1:
By merging image capturing and pattern code detection into a single camera application, the patent eliminates the time required to switch between separate applications. Users can perform both functions sequentially within the same application interface, improving operational efficiency and reducing time loss

AI summary
A mobile device includes a camera unit configured to sense an image, a display unit configured to display the image, a sensor unit configured to detect a user input and a processor configured to control the display unit, the camera unit and the sensor unit, where the processor is further configured to display an image capturing interface including the image sensed by the camera unit and an image capturing trigger for storing the image, wherein the image capturing interface is further includes a pattern code trigger which is linked to contents when the pattern code is recognized from the sensed image, store the sensed image when the user input for the image capturing trigger is detected, and display the contents to which the pattern code is linked or store the pattern code, when the user input for the pattern code trigger is detected.
