Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image capturing methods on mobile devices can only enlarge selected parts of photos after capture and do not allow for real-time adjustment of image dimensions during the capturing process, failing to meet diverse user shooting needs.

Innovation Solution

An image capturing method and device that adjusts the dimensions of preset objects in real-time during the image capturing process, allowing users to set and apply dimension adjustment approaches based on user settings or automatic settings, enabling real-time preview of adjusted images.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If image dimension adjustment is performed after capture, then processing can be completed, but real-time preview and capturing efficiency are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapturing efficiencyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing image dimension adjustment during the capture process itself, before the image is fully processed and displayed. The system adjusts the dimension of preset objects in real-time during capture, so that when the image is captured, the adjustment has already been applied, eliminating the need for separate post-processing steps and enabling real-time preview.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If selection box method is used for enlargement, then partial enlargement can be achieved, but user operation complexity increases and real-time adjustment is not possible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment flexibilityVSAvoidoperation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by automatically identifying preset objects in the image and applying dimension adjustment based on pre-set criteria, without requiring users to manually select areas or define selection boxes. The system autonomously determines which objects to adjust and applies the appropriate dimension transformation, significantly simplifying user operation while maintaining adjustment flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An image capturing method can be applied to an application, and include: determining a dimension adjustment approach set for a preset object in an acquired image to be processed after a dimension adjustment function of the application is turned on (101); and obtaining and displaying an adjusted image by adjusting a dimension of the preset object in the image to be processed according to the dimension adjustment approach (102), so as to support real-time preview of the adjusted image. As the dimension of the preset object in the image to be processed is adjusted in the image capturing process, the image capturing experience of the user is improved, and satisfying photos or videos can be obtained quickly.
