Solution Overview

Problem

Existing screen recording functions on electronic devices lack diversity and user-friendly experience, leading to suboptimal user interaction and recording capabilities.

Innovation Solution

A method to determine a target display container based on the positional relationship between a screen recording control and at least one display container, and to define a screen recording area based on the display area of the target display container, enhancing the diversity and user experience of screen recording.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional screen recording function is used, then screen content can be recorded, but the recording area is fixed and lacks diversity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen recording area diversityVSAvoiduser interaction convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic screen recording area determination by detecting the positional relationship between the screen recording control and display containers. The recording area changes based on the control's position, transforming from a fixed area to a dynamically adjustable one that adapts to user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by determining different recording areas based on the specific position of the screen recording control relative to display containers. Different regions of the screen are captured based on local positioning, allowing users to record specific areas of interest rather than the entire screen uniformly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If screen recording control is positioned freely, then recording area can be adjusted, but determining the target display container becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen recording area flexibilityVSAvoidtarget display container determination
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-establishing the spatial relationship rules between the screen recording control and display containers. The system pre-determines how to identify the target display container based on positional relationships, simplifying the real-time determination process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically determine the target display container based on the control's position without requiring manual user input. The system self-adapts to the control position and autonomously identifies the appropriate recording area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Area of stationary object

If the screen recording area is expanded to include multiple display containers, then recording coverage increases, but user interaction precision decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen recording areaVSAvoidrecording area accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the screen into distinct display containers and determining the recording area based on the control's position relative to these segments. This allows precise identification of which specific container or containers should be recorded, maintaining accuracy even when multiple containers are involved.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses partial action by recording only the relevant display container or containers based on the control position, rather than always recording the entire screen. This ensures that the recording area is precisely matched to the user's intent, capturing exactly what needs to be recorded without unnecessary areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
