Image Capture Guide Overlay for Face Arrangement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in capturing high-quality images of persons due to lack of photographic skills, and existing technologies do not effectively provide real-time guidance for arranging subjects within the image frame.
Innovation Solution
A terminal with an image capture function and processing method that overlays a capture guide on the preview screen, recognizing faces and automatically selecting or allowing users to choose from various capture guides for optimal positioning and posing of subjects, enabling automatic or manual image capture and editing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users rely on guide books for photographic instructions, then they can obtain theoretical knowledge about image composition, but they still have difficulty applying directions to actual image capturing situations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an image composition guide as an intermediary element that bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. The guide is overlaid on the preview screen to provide real-time, visual guidance that directly corresponds to the current scene being captured, making abstract composition rules concrete and actionable
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically analyzes the preview image to detect subjects and determine appropriate composition guidelines, eliminating the need for users to manually consult guide books or make complex judgments. The guide adapts itself to the specific scene being captured
2Manufacturing precision
If no guidance is provided to users during image capture, then the device operation remains simple, but the quality of photographs deteriorates due to poor placement of persons
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies composition guidelines locally to specific regions of the preview screen where subjects are detected. Rather than providing generic advice, the system generates targeted guidance for the actual subjects present in the frame, such as suggesting optimal positioning for detected persons or objects
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical/manual process of consulting guide books and making composition decisions with an automated image processing system that analyzes the preview frame and generates appropriate guidance automatically
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple capture guides are provided for user selection, then the adaptability to different capturing situations improves, but the complexity of guide selection increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic selection of capture guides based on real-time analysis of the preview image. The system automatically determines which composition guide is most appropriate for the current scene configuration, such as selecting guides for single subject, multiple persons, or specific compositions like rule of thirds, eliminating the need for manual selection

AI summary
A terminal with an image processing function and an image processing method thereof are provided that can display a capture guide on a preview screen and optimize the arrangement of persons in a photographic image. The image process method of a terminal includes selecting an image capture mode in the process of setting up a mode, and displaying a preview screen, recognizing a face in an image of the displayed preview screen, setting a capture guide that arranges the image, according to the recognized face, and overlaying the capture guide on the displayed preview screen, and capturing the image when the image is arranged to substantially correspond to the capture guide. The terminal and the image processing method can capture an image to overlay a capture guide according to a recognized face on a preview screen. The terminal and the image processing method can also capture an image to select a capture guide and overlay the particular capture guide on the preview screen during the capture mode. Furthermore, the terminal and the image processing method can edit saved images according to a capture guide. Therefore, an image can be optimized where persons are properly arranged and convenience of the terminal is improved.
