Cover Photography Apparatus Motion Correction via Terminal Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional portable terminal apparatuses, such as smartphones, produce low-quality images due to motion-induced noise, and there is a need for a supplemental photography apparatus that can improve image quality without the cost and bulk of traditional photography equipment while being portable and capable of connecting to these devices.
Innovation Solution
A cover photography apparatus connected to a portable terminal apparatus, which includes an imaging device, a communicator to receive motion information, and a controller to correct image data based on this information, synchronizing it with the image data to generate and transmit improved images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a portable terminal apparatus uses motion sensors for image correction, then motion-induced noise can be reduced, but the image quality remains low compared to general photographing apparatuses
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a supplemental photography apparatus as an intermediary device that connects between the portable terminal and the imaging process. This external apparatus provides enhanced imaging capabilities while the terminal handles motion detection and correction, allowing the system to achieve high-quality images without requiring the terminal itself to be a complex photography device.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the strengths of two different devices: the portable terminal's motion sensing capabilities and the supplemental photography apparatus's high-quality imaging capabilities. By merging these functions into a coordinated system, the invention achieves both high image quality and effective motion correction without requiring either device to be overly complex on its own.
2Reliability
If traditional photography apparatuses are used for high-quality images, then image quality improves, but the cost and portability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the photography system into two separate components: a portable terminal apparatus that handles motion detection and control, and a supplemental photography apparatus that handles high-quality image capture. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function at lower cost, avoiding the need for expensive traditional photography equipment while maintaining high image quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The supplemental photography apparatus serves as an intermediary solution between portable terminals and traditional photography equipment. It provides professional-grade imaging capabilities at a lower cost point while maintaining portability, effectively bridging the gap between consumer electronics and professional photography equipment.
3Reliability
If traditional photography apparatuses are used for high-quality images, then image quality improves, but portability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the photography system into a lightweight portable terminal and a compact supplemental photography apparatus. This division allows the heavy imaging components to be concentrated in the smaller supplemental device while the terminal remains lightweight for easy portability, achieving high image quality without sacrificing mobility.
Solution Approach 2:
The supplemental photography apparatus is designed to connect to and integrate with the portable terminal, creating a nested configuration where the terminal provides control and the attached apparatus provides imaging. This nesting allows the system to maintain the portability of the terminal while adding professional imaging capabilities when needed.
