Mobile Terminal Screen Capture with Device Appearance Overlay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for capturing a mobile communication terminal's display screen do not include the device's outer appearance, making it impossible to identify the type of terminal and limiting the expression of the captured image, which is insufficient for personalization and impression when posting on blogs or SNS services.
Innovation Solution
A method that combines screen data with a previously stored device image to create synthetic data, which includes the outer appearance of the mobile communication terminal, allowing for a more realistic image capture and storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional screen capture methods are used, then the capture process is simple, but the captured image cannot identify the device type and lacks realism
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines screen capture data with device appearance image data into synthetic data that includes both the displayed content and the physical device appearance. This merging allows the captured image to identify the device type while maintaining a relatively simple capture process through automated data integration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent stores device appearance image data in advance in the memory device before capture is needed. This preliminary action allows the capture process to simply retrieve and combine pre-stored appearance data with screen data, improving identification accuracy without significantly increasing capture complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If only screen data is captured, then the capture process is fast, but the expression and personalization of the captured image are limited
Solution Approach 1:
By merging screen capture data with pre-stored device appearance data, the patent enhances the expression capability of captured images to include device identification and personalization elements, while minimizing time loss through efficient data integration from pre-prepared appearance images.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses pre-stored device appearance image data as a template or copy of the device's physical appearance. This copying approach allows rapid generation of comprehensive captured images that include both screen content and device appearance without requiring additional physical capture or processing time.
3Measurement precision
If synthetic data combining screen data and device image data is created, then the captured image becomes more realistic and identifiable, but the data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary preparation by storing device appearance image data in advance in the memory device. This preprocessing step simplifies the actual capture process, as the system only needs to retrieve pre-stored appearance data and combine it with screen data, reducing the complexity of real-time data processing while maintaining high identification accuracy.
4Loss of information
If device appearance image data is stored in advance, then the capture process can include device identification, but the memory storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent stores device appearance image data as pre-prepared copies or templates of device appearances. This copying approach allows the system to retain complete device type information for accurate identification while using efficient storage methods that minimize memory requirements compared to storing multiple full-resolution images or detailed device specifications.

AI summary
Disclosed is a method of extracting and processing screen information outputted through a display of a mobile communication terminal, in which an output screen of the mobile communication terminal is extracted and merged with a previously stored device image, and an image data synthesizing the outer appearance of the mobile communication terminal and an output image is created and stored. An image combining an output screen and an outer appearance of the mobile communication terminal is created and stored in capturing a display screen of the mobile communication terminal.
