Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video capture systems often fail to provide videos at specific angles or panoramic views, leading to poor video live-streaming effects and reduced efficiency in applications such as video monitoring.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that dynamically adjust video capture by utilizing preset mobile terminals with video capture access links to supplement initial videos, allowing flexible access to a video live-streaming system for capturing target videos that meet specific requirements, and integrating these with initial videos for clearer and more comprehensive playback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed camera is installed at a certain position to capture video, then the system structure is simple and easy to operate, but the video capture angle is limited and cannot provide panoramic display or specific angle views

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo capture angleVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies multi-functionality by enabling mobile terminals (smartphones, tablets) to serve as video capture devices. These terminals can be positioned at different locations and angles to capture videos from multiple perspectives, replacing the need for multiple fixed cameras while providing panoramic and specific angle views through a single flexible device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by transitioning from static fixed camera installation to dynamic mobile terminal deployment. The mobile terminal can be moved to different positions and orientations based on monitoring requirements, allowing the system to adapt capture angles and positions dynamically rather than being constrained by predetermined fixed locations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If multiple fixed cameras are installed to achieve panoramic display and specific angle capture, then the video capture quality improves, but the system complexity and installation difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo monitoring effectVSAvoidnumber of capture devices
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses mobile terminals that can perform multiple functions: capturing videos from different angles, providing panoramic views, and serving as temporary monitoring points. This single versatile device replaces multiple specialized fixed cameras, reducing the number of devices while maintaining or improving monitoring effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that coordinates between the initial video capture terminal and temporary video capture terminals. The server manages the allocation, coordination, and integration of multiple capture devices, simplifying the overall system architecture by centralizing control rather than requiring direct complex interconnections between multiple cameras.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If fixed cameras are used for video monitoring, then the initial video capture is stable, but the system lacks flexibility in responding to changing monitoring requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility in monitoring requirementsVSAvoidvideo capture stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic monitoring system where temporary video capture terminals can be activated based on real-time monitoring needs. The system can switch between initial fixed capture and temporary mobile capture, allowing adaptation to changing requirements while maintaining stability through structured server coordination and standardized access protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables temporary video capture terminals to self-access the video live-streaming system through generated access links. These terminals can independently capture and upload videos without requiring manual system reconfiguration, allowing the system to respond automatically to changing monitoring requirements while maintaining operational stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
