Imaging Device White Balance Adjustment Interface
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Adjusting captured white balance data in conventional digital still cameras requires multiple screen transitions, complicating the operation and reducing user convenience.
Innovation Solution
An imaging device with a control unit that displays a pre-capture screen for white balance data, followed by a confirmation screen showing the captured value, and then transitions directly to an adjustment screen upon user input, streamlining the process and reducing the number of steps required.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional white balance adjustment process is used, then white balance data can be captured and adjusted, but the operation becomes complicated due to multiple screen transitions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the confirmation screen and adjustment screen into a single integrated interface. After capturing white balance data, the system displays both the captured value confirmation and adjustment options on the same screen, eliminating the need to transition between separate screens. This merging of functions directly reduces the number of operational steps while maintaining data accuracy and adjustment capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary display of the captured white balance value on the confirmation screen before transitioning to adjustment. By showing the captured data in advance on the same screen where adjustment occurs, the system allows users to verify data integrity immediately without requiring a separate screen transition, thus simplifying the overall operation flow.
2Measurement precision
If multiple screen transitions are implemented for white balance adjustment, then data accuracy can be maintained through confirmation screens, but user convenience is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the data confirmation function and adjustment function into a single screen display. The confirmation screen shows the captured white balance value with clear visual indicators, and the same screen provides adjustment controls, allowing users to verify data accuracy and perform adjustments without leaving the current interface, thus maintaining precision while improving convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the information display on the confirmation screen to clearly separate the captured value display area from the adjustment control area. This segmentation allows users to easily locate and verify the captured data while simultaneously accessing adjustment options, maintaining data accuracy verification without requiring separate screen transitions.
3Ease of operation
If the number of operational steps is reduced, then user convenience is improved, but the completeness of white balance adjustment process may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions (data capture confirmation, data display, and adjustment controls) into a single integrated screen. This merging ensures that all necessary adjustment capabilities remain available while reducing the number of operational steps from multiple screen transitions to a single-screen operation, maintaining process completeness while improving efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The confirmation screen is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a data verification display and as an adjustment control interface. This universal design allows the same screen to fulfill multiple purposes in the white balance adjustment process, ensuring completeness of functionality while minimizing the number of required operational steps.
