Solution Overview

Problem

Flexible electronic devices face challenges in properly recognizing and recording the screen area during size changes, leading to potential cropping of the recording area due to the dynamic nature of their screen size adjustments.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device with a flexible display is equipped with a processor that records the screen in a reference size, applies visual effects to changing screen areas, and controls the display to adapt the screen size upon completion of extension or contraction, ensuring proper recording and display of content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the screen size is changed during screen recording in a flexible electronic device, then the portability and flexibility are improved, but the recording area recognition accuracy deteriorates and cropping occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen size adaptabilityVSAvoidrecording area recognition accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic screen size adaptation during recording by detecting screen size changes in real-time and adjusting the recording parameters accordingly. The system transitions from static recording (fixed screen size) to dynamic recording (adaptive screen size), allowing the recording area to be dynamically recalculated and adjusted when the flexible display is extended or contracted during the recording process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the flexible display is extended or contracted during recording, then the screen versatility is improved, but the recording integrity deteriorates due to cropping

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen configuration flexibilityVSAvoidrecording completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring the screen size state during recording and using this information to adjust recording parameters. When screen extension or contraction is detected, the system receives feedback about the new screen dimensions and automatically adjusts the recording area calculation to maintain complete coverage, preventing cropping and ensuring recording integrity throughout the flexible display transitions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If screen recording is performed in a fixed format, then the recording simplicity is maintained, but the flexibility in adapting to changing screen sizes is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecording operation simplicityVSAvoidscreen size adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing the reference screen size and recording format before recording begins. The system pre-calculates the recording area based on the initial screen configuration and prepares the recording parameters in advance. This preliminary setup maintains operational simplicity while the system subsequently adapts to screen size changes during recording, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The disclosure relates to an electronic device including a flexible display for screen recording, and a method thereof. The electronic device may include: a memory, a display module including a flexible display, and at least one processor electrically coupled to the memory and the display module. The at least one processor may be configured to: record a screen of the display displayed in an visible area of the display in a reference screen size, based on a screen size of the visible area being changed by extension or contraction of the display during the recording, control the display module to display an object to which a visual effect related to at least one content displayed on the screen is applied, in part of the visible area corresponding to the changed size, and in response to completion of the extension or contraction of the visible area of the display during the recording, control the display module to display an extended or contracted screen in an extended visible area or a contracted visible area.
