Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices lack effective methods and interfaces for capturing and interacting with moments recorded by cameras, often requiring significant editing to remove less interesting parts of videos.
Innovation Solution
The development of electronic devices with improved methods and interfaces that allow for the capture and interaction with grouped sequences of images, including a representative image and images before and after it, enabling easier capture and replay of moments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a still image is captured by pressing a shutter button, then the instant is frozen, but details of the surrounding moments are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple images captured in temporal proximity into a single composite image. The shutter button capture triggers not only the representative image but also additional images before and after, which are then merged into one composite image that preserves surrounding moment details while maintaining instant capture precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary capture of multiple images in temporal proximity to the shutter button press. By capturing a sequence of images before and after the main capture moment, the system prepares the necessary visual data to reconstruct surrounding moment details without requiring post-capture video editing.
2Duration of action of moving object
If video is recorded to capture extended periods of time, then both interesting and not-so-interesting moments are recorded, but significant editing is required to remove less interesting moments
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the relevant portion of the video sequence by identifying a representative image and capturing a limited number of images in temporal proximity to it. This extraction approach eliminates the need for extensive video editing by directly capturing only the interesting moment and its immediate context, discarding the rest.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of capturing the entire video sequence, the system performs partial action by capturing a selective subset of images around the representative moment. This partial capture approach provides sufficient context without the excessive data that would require significant editing, achieving a balance between time coverage and editing complexity.
3Loss of information
If multiple images are captured in temporal proximity and grouped into a sequence, then surrounding moment details are preserved, but the interface for interacting with these images becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the captured images into a structured sequence with a representative image at the core and additional images before and after. This segmentation allows the interface to present images in a logical, organized manner that is easier to navigate than a raw sequence, maintaining moment details while improving operational ease through structured presentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The composite image structure serves multiple functions: it acts as a still image for quick viewing, contains embedded sequences for detailed examination, and provides contextual information for surrounding moments. This multi-functionality allows a single interface element to handle various interaction modes without requiring separate complex interfaces for each function.

AI summary
An electronic device displays a wake screen that includes a representative image in a sequence of images. While displaying the wake screen, the electronic device detects an input that includes a contact over the wake screen. In response to detecting the contact over the wake screen, the electronic device displays, in sequence, a plurality of images in the sequence of images.
