Flexible Display Photography Guidance for Foldable Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices with limited display sizes struggle to provide effective photographing guidance to users and subjects during camera operations, as existing solutions do not adequately utilize the display's potential for intuitive and directed feedback.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a flexible display that includes a first area on the front surface and a second area on the rear surface, where the processor controls the camera module and display to provide distinct photographing guidance information to the user and subject, adjusting based on image analysis, display size, and user input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a single display is used for photographing guidance, then the device structure remains simple, but the photographing guidance information cannot be provided effectively to both the user and the subject
Solution Approach 1:
The flexible display is segmented into a first area for the front surface and a second area for the rear surface, allowing independent display of photographing guidance information tailored to different users' needs without requiring multiple separate displays
Solution Approach 2:
The display transitions from a single-plane configuration to a multi-dimensional configuration by wrapping around the device edges, enabling simultaneous front and rear surface display areas without proportionally increasing device volume
2Loss of information
If the display size is increased to provide more photographing guidance information, then the information completeness improves, but the device portability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The flexible display utilizes the lateral dimension by wrapping around device edges to provide extended display areas on both front and rear surfaces, increasing information display capacity without proportionally increasing the device's main body dimensions
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible display can be folded or bent to conform to the device shape, maximizing the use of limited device surface area while maintaining portability and compact form factor
3Adaptability or versatility
If different photographing guidance information is provided through the same display area, then the user experience improves, but the display information clarity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is segmented into distinct first and second areas facing different directions, with each area dedicated to providing photographing guidance information optimized for its specific orientation and user context
Solution Approach 2:
Different types of photographing guidance information are provided in different display areas according to local needs - the first area provides guidance suitable for front surface viewing while the second area provides guidance suitable for rear surface viewing

AI summary
An example electronic device includes a first housing; a second housing; a camera module; a flexible display including a first area exposed at the front surface of an electronic device in a state in which the electronic device is closed, and a second area extended from the first area and exposed at the back surface of the electronic device; a memory; and a processor operatively connected to the camera module, the flexible display and the memory. The processor is configured to control to drive the camera module based on user input, display, in the first area and the second area, an image acquired from the camera module, provide first photography guidance information through the first area, and provide, through the second area, second photography guidance information that differs from the first photography guidance information.
