Solution Overview

Problem

Existing shooting methods for mobile terminals lack convenience and effectiveness in allowing users to easily apply shooting templates and preview effects, leading to difficulties in improving user experience.

Innovation Solution

A shooting method that displays a first preset interface with template identifiers and a shooting control, allowing users to apply shooting templates and preview effects, and then transitions to a second shooting page with a timing identifier for controlled shooting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users manually configure shooting parameters and select templates, then shooting customization is improved, but operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshooting customizationVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-configures shooting templates with predetermined parameters, filters, and effects. Users can directly select from these pre-prepared templates rather than configuring each parameter manually, which significantly reduces operation complexity while maintaining shooting customization capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically applies selected templates to the shooting object and configures associated parameters without requiring manual intervention. The template application process is self-executing, reducing the burden on users while providing customized shooting results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple shooting templates are provided, then shooting versatility is improved, but interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshooting versatilityVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is segmented into distinct functional areas: a template selection area displaying multiple template identifiers, and a shooting control area. This segmentation allows multiple templates to be presented in an organized, non-overlapping manner that reduces perceived interface complexity while maintaining shooting versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Template identifiers serve as intermediaries between the user and the actual shooting templates. Instead of displaying full template configurations which would clutter the interface, simplified identifiers are shown as mediators that users can select to access the complete template functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Manufacturing precision

If template preview is displayed before shooting, then shooting accuracy is improved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshooting accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system displays a partial preview of the template effect rather than a complete simulation. This partial preview provides sufficient information for users to assess whether the template will achieve the desired shooting accuracy, while avoiding the time consumption of displaying or processing complete preview data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Disclosed in embodiments of the present disclosure are a photographing method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method includes: in response to a first triggering operation for a preset control on a first photographing interface, displaying a first third interface, wherein the first third interface comprises a plurality of first template identifiers and a first photographing control; in response to a second triggering operation acting on a target template identifier, applying a photographing template associated with the target template identifier to a photographing object; in response to an operation acting on the first photographing control, concealing the first third interface, displaying a second photographing interface, and displaying a timing identifier on the second photographing interface; and if the timing identifier is updated as a preset identifier, photographing the photographing object on the basis of the photographing template.
