Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electronic devices with dual camera functions cannot edit previously stored dual images according to user preferences, as they only store dual images and not separate front and rear images, limiting user customization and editing capabilities.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device with dual camera functionality that allows for the separate storage and editing of front and rear images, enabling users to generate various dual images by changing styles, frame positions, replacing backgrounds, and removing backgrounds, thereby providing more flexibility and convenience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If only dual images are stored, then storage space is saved and device complexity is reduced, but user editing capability and customization flexibility are limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser editing capabilityVSAvoidstorage structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the dual image storage into separate front image and rear image components. Instead of storing only composite dual images, the system divides them into independent image segments that can be separately manipulated, edited, and combined in various ways, thereby enhancing user editing capability while maintaining manageable storage structure

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic recombination capability where stored front and rear images can be flexibly paired to create different dual images based on user preferences. The system allows dynamic generation of multiple dual image variations from the same base images, providing versatility without requiring separate storage for each possible combination

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If separate front and rear images are stored, then user customization flexibility is improved, but storage space requirement increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecustomization flexibilityVSAvoidstorage space

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the stored front and rear images universal by enabling them to serve multiple purposes. The same pair of base images can generate multiple different dual images through various editing operations and combinations, allowing a single storage entry to serve multiple customization needs rather than requiring separate storage for each variation

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If dual images are edited by replacing components, then user preference satisfaction is improved, but processing time and computational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser preference satisfactionVSAvoidprocessing time

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-storing the front and rear images as separate editable components. This allows users to directly manipulate and replace specific image components without requiring complex real-time processing, as the base images are already prepared and can be quickly recombined with different edits applied

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action
