Flexible Display Control for Image Range Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flexible display devices in digital cameras cannot control or display an image capturing range according to user intention, as the aspect ratio of the image changes with the display unit's extension, limiting user control over the image capturing range.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device with a reception unit to receive user operation information and a control unit that determines the displayable area on a flexible display unit based on its pulled-out state from the image shooting device, allowing the display unit to show the intended image capturing range.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the aspect ratio of the image is changed in accordance with the amount of the display unit to be pulled out, then the flexible display device can be neatly stored and the display unit can be securely held, but it is not possible to control or display an image capturing range according to user intention
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic control of the displayable area based on the pulled-out state of the flexible display unit. The control unit dynamically adjusts the correspondence between the displayable area and the image capturing range, allowing the system to adapt to different display unit extension states while maintaining user control over which image range is displayed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of the displayable area correspondence based on the pulled-out state. By detecting the extension state of the flexible display unit and adjusting the mapped image range accordingly, the system enables users to control the displayed image capturing range while accommodating the physical state of the display unit.
2Ease of operation
If the displayable area is fixed regardless of the pulled-out state, then user control is maintained, but the flexible display unit cannot be neatly stored or securely held
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the displayable area correspondence based on the pulled-out state of the flexible display unit. When the display unit is partially pulled out, the system maps an appropriate portion of the image capturing range to the available display area, enabling both neat storage and user control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of the displayable area mapping based on the extension state of the flexible display unit. By detecting how much the display unit is pulled out and adjusting the corresponding image range, the system maintains user control while accommodating different storage and handling states.
3Loss of information
If the entire image range is always displayed, then complete image information is provided, but the device becomes larger and cannot be compactly stored
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and displays only the necessary portion of the image capturing range based on the pulled-out state of the flexible display unit. The control unit determines the appropriate displayable area and maps the corresponding image range, extracting only the needed information for display while maintaining the option to show the full image when the display unit is fully extended.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the displayed image range based on the extension state. When the flexible display unit is partially pulled out, only a portion of the image capturing range is displayed, reducing the required device size for storage. When fully extended, the complete image range can be displayed, preserving all image information.

AI summary
[Object] To display a captured image on a display unit in accordance with the intention of a user. [Solution] An information processing device according to the present technology includes a reception unit configured to receive operation information on a user, and a control unit configured to decide, on the basis of a state of a flexible display unit pulled out from a body of an image shooting device, a corresponding range corresponding to a displayable area of the pulled-out display unit from an entire image range acquired by an image shooting unit, the state being received by the reception unit, the flexible display unit being capable of being pulled out from the body.
