Three-Foldable Display Camera Preview Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge lies in determining the optimal locations for cameras with different resolutions on a three-foldable display device and controlling the preview interface effectively when either camera is activated, especially when the cameras are located on the same side of the device, as existing technologies do not clearly define these aspects.
Innovation Solution
A three-foldable display device is designed with a processor that controls the cameras and screens, where the first camera with higher resolution is placed on one body and the second camera with lower resolution on another, and the processor determines the screen for displaying the preview interface based on the activated camera, ensuring efficient use of screen area according to the image resolution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If two cameras with different resolutions are located on the same side of the display device, then the device structure is simplified and manufacturing is easier, but it becomes unclear where to locate the cameras and how to display preview interfaces
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different functions to different regions of the display device. The first camera (high resolution) is placed in a first region and its preview is displayed in a first area, while the second camera (low resolution) is placed in a second region with its preview displayed in a second area. This regional differentiation resolves the ambiguity of camera placement and preview display locations when cameras are on the same side.
2Measurement precision
If high resolution camera images are displayed on large screen areas, then image quality is improved, but screen space for other functions is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display screen into multiple independent preview areas. The first preview area displays images from the first camera and the second preview area displays images from the second camera. This segmentation allows high resolution images to be displayed in dedicated areas without occupying the entire screen, thus preserving screen space for other functions while maintaining image quality.
3Area of stationary object
If low resolution camera images are displayed on small screen areas, then screen space is preserved for other functions, but image quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by matching camera resolution with appropriate display areas. The second camera (low resolution) displays its preview in a second area that is smaller than the first area, which is appropriate for low resolution content. This prevents waste of screen space while maintaining acceptable image quality for the intended use case.
4Ease of operation
If the preview interface location is dynamically controlled based on activated camera, then user convenience is improved, but control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining the correspondence between cameras and preview display areas. The processor is configured to display the first camera's preview in the first area and the second camera's preview in the second area. This predetermined arrangement simplifies the control logic while still providing dynamic adaptation based on which camera is activated, improving user convenience without excessive complexity.
