Foldable Camera Auto-Framing Activation by Angle and Object Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices with auto-framing functions require manual user input for activation or deactivation, which can be inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device automatically activates the auto-framing function based on sensors detecting a specified angle range and the presence of an object within the camera's field-of-view, eliminating the need for manual input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual user input is required to activate or deactivate the auto-framing function, then the function can be precisely controlled, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically activates the auto-framing function by detecting the folded state through sensors and identifying objects within the camera field-of-view, eliminating the need for manual user input. The device serves itself by autonomously determining when the auto-framing function should be activated based on environmental conditions and device state.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary detection of the folded state and object presence before activating the auto-framing function. By pre-detecting these conditions, the system prepares to automatically activate the function when appropriate conditions are met, improving user convenience without requiring manual intervention.
2Ease of operation
If the auto-framing function is activated automatically based on sensor detection, then user convenience is improved, but the risk of unintended activation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors multiple conditions (folded state detection via sensors and object presence via camera) and uses this feedback to determine whether to activate the auto-framing function. This multi-condition feedback mechanism ensures that activation occurs only when appropriate conditions are met, improving reliability while maintaining automatic operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary decision-making process that evaluates multiple conditions (sensor data about folded state and camera data about object presence) before activating the auto-framing function. This intermediary layer prevents unintended activation by ensuring that both conditions are satisfied before the function is activated.
3Reliability
If multiple conditions are checked before activation, then activation accuracy is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary and continuous detection of the folded state through sensors and object presence through the camera before activation is needed. By maintaining these detections in advance, the system reduces processing delay at the moment of activation while still checking multiple conditions for accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors the folded state and object presence rather than performing discrete checks only when activation is considered. This continuous monitoring ensures that when activation conditions are met, the system can respond immediately without processing delays, while still maintaining high activation accuracy through multiple condition checks.
