Electronic Device Linking Captured Images to Sound Source Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience in recalling and re-playing music that was played during image capture events, such as parties or memorable events, due to the lack of efficient methods to associate and store music information with captured images.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device method and system that captures images and simultaneously obtains and stores sound source information, using tag information, external device connections, or sound recognition technologies, to match and store music played during image capture, allowing for later retrieval and playback of the associated music and images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If sound source information is obtained and stored together with captured images, then user convenience in recalling music is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an external server as an intermediary to perform sound source recognition and information extraction. The electronic device captures audio and transmits it to the external server, which then provides structured sound source information (music title, artist, album) back to the device. This mediator approach allows the electronic device to achieve music identification capabilities without having to implement complex sound recognition algorithms internally, thus improving ease of operation while minimizing the increase in device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically capturing sound source information and associating it with images without requiring manual user input. The electronic device automatically detects music playback, extracts relevant information, and links it to the captured image, eliminating the need for users to manually record or search for music details later.
2Measurement precision
If sound source recognition technology is used to identify music, then accuracy of music identification is improved, but loss of time for processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by performing sound source recognition and information extraction in advance during the image capture process. Rather than analyzing and identifying music after the image is taken, the system simultaneously captures the audio environment and extracts music information at the moment of image capture. This preliminary processing ensures that when the user views the image later, the music information is already prepared and immediately available, minimizing perceived processing time while maintaining high identification accuracy through the use of external server resources.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a content producing device and method for matching and storing music information when an electronic device captures an image and, particularly, to a content producing device and method for storing, together with a captured image, information on music played by an electronic device or around the electronic device when the image is captured. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a control method for an electronic device comprises the steps of: capturing an image when a photographing instruction is inputted by a user; acquiring, during capturing of the image, sound source information on music played in a space in which the electronic device is located; and matching the sound source information on music to the captured image and storing the same.
