Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices with image acquisition units often have limited interactive functionality when multiple devices are present, leading to restricted image data interaction and utilization.
Innovation Solution
A first device with an image acquisition unit, interfaces for connecting with second and third devices, and a processor to merge or combine image data from multiple devices, enabling expanded interaction and data processing capabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple electronic devices have image acquisition units, then image data collection capability is improved, but interactive functionality between devices deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines image data from multiple electronic devices (first device, second device, and fourth device) into a unified data stream that is processed and displayed on a third device. The first device receives image data from the second device, which in turn receives data from the fourth device, creating a merged multi-device image processing system that enhances interactive functionality while maintaining comprehensive image collection capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If image data from multiple devices is collected, then image data interaction is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces intermediate devices (second device and fourth device) that act as mediators in the image data transmission chain. The first device receives image data from the second device, which has received data from the fourth device. This intermediary structure organizes the complexity of multi-device data collection into a manageable sequential flow, enabling enhanced image data interaction without overwhelming system complexity.

AI summary
A first device includes an image acquisition unit configured to acquire first image data, a first interface configured to connect with a second device and receive at least second image data sent by the second device, and a second interface configured to connect with a third device and send data including at least the first image data and the second image data to the third device. The second image data includes combined data of image data collected by an image acquisition unit of the second device and image data received by the second device and sent from a fourth device, and the image data sent by the fourth device includes at least image data collected by an image acquisition unit of the fourth device.
