Capture Window for Selective Region Extraction in Portable Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Portable terminals capture and store full output pictures, making it difficult for users to verify and selectively edit the captured data, as they paste unnecessary information, and users cannot accurately confirm the contents stored in the clipboard.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method for specifying a capture region in a portable terminal, including a capture window setting unit to define the capture area and a data processing unit to acquire and edit the corresponding data, providing a floating window for displaying captured data and allowing users to select and edit the data through gestures or editing menus.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the portable terminal captures a full output picture, then the capture process is simple and fast, but the user captures and stores unnecessary data that they do not need
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the full output picture into multiple selectable regions, allowing users to capture only specific areas of interest. The capture interface displays the full picture with overlayable region selection boxes that segment the image into captureable portions, enabling selective capture rather than capturing the entire output picture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different capture qualities and formats to different regions of the output picture. Users can select specific regions with different capture parameters (such as resolution, format, or compression level) for different areas, allowing high-quality capture of important regions while reducing or eliminating capture of less important areas.
2Ease of operation
If the portable terminal stores capture data in the clipboard, then the data can be pasted to applications, but the user cannot verify whether the capture data is accurately captured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism that displays a preview or verification interface showing the captured data before it is finalized or pasted to applications. This feedback loop allows users to verify the accuracy of captured data, confirm the selected regions, and review the capture quality before the data is stored or transferred to the clipboard.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary verification interface between the capture process and the clipboard storage. This intermediary layer presents the captured data in a reviewable format, allowing users to confirm accuracy before the data is committed to storage or made available for pasting to applications.
3Measurement precision
If the portable terminal captures specific regions only, then data accuracy and usability are improved, but the capture process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service features that automatically assist users in region selection and capture parameter configuration. The system provides automatic region detection, smart defaults based on content analysis, and automated capture settings based on the selected region type, reducing the manual effort and complexity users would otherwise need to invest in achieving accurate regional capture.

AI summary
An apparatus and method for specifying a capture region, performing a picture capture for a specific region (partial region) on an output picture, and verifying contents of capture data copied to a clipboard. The apparatus includes a capture window setting unit configured to output a capture window specifying a region to be captured, and change a setting of the capture window. The apparatus also includes a data processing unit configured to acquire capture data for a region corresponding to the capture window when the setting of the capture window is completed.
