Electronic Device Position Guidance for Image Capture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of electronic devices face challenges in determining optimal shooting positions and composition settings for capturing images of landmarks, as existing devices lack guidance on suitable vantage points and hardware configurations for image capture.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device equipped with a communication module, display, and processor that determines position information, transmits it to a server, acquires relevant images and shooting information, and displays guidance on optimal shooting positions and hardware settings based on context information, allowing users to capture desired images effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the electronic device provides general navigation function with basic position information, then the device complexity is low, but the user cannot obtain shooting position and composition guidance for capturing images
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that receives position information from the electronic device and returns shooting position and composition information. This mediator handles the complex image analysis and recommendation logic externally, allowing the electronic device itself to remain relatively simple while still providing advanced shooting guidance functionality through cloud-based processing
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-establishes a database of images with associated shooting position information and composition data. When a user requests shooting guidance, the system quickly retrieves pre-analyzed information from this database rather than performing real-time image analysis, thereby reducing the computational burden on the electronic device while providing comprehensive shooting recommendations
2Quantity of substance
If the electronic device stores images locally, then the image quality and accessibility are improved, but the memory consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the image storage function from the electronic device and relocates it to a cloud server. The device only retains essential metadata and thumbnails locally, while full-resolution images are stored remotely. This extraction significantly reduces local memory consumption while maintaining image accessibility through network connectivity
Solution Approach 2:
The cloud server provides universal storage capabilities that benefit multiple users and devices simultaneously. Instead of each device maintaining its own complete image library, a shared cloud storage system serves multiple clients, reducing redundant storage across the system while ensuring images are accessible from any connected device
