Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile terminal image capturing technologies require users to manually select and set the blur for foreground objects, making the process laborious and inefficient, as it cannot perform automatic blurring of images.

Innovation Solution

A method in a mobile terminal that receives a virtual adjustment instruction to determine if the blur adjustment signal is a dynamic short or long change, acquiring corresponding blur mapping signals to adjust the target object's image-capturing state, allowing for automatic blurring by dynamically highlighting the object based on its movement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If manual selection and setting of blur for foreground objects is implemented, then the blurring function can be achieved, but the image capturing process becomes laborious and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic blurringVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects the foreground object and applies blurring without requiring user intervention. The processor identifies the subject in the captured image and autonomously determines the blur parameters, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring manual operation from the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary detection and analysis of the foreground object before the actual image capture is completed. By pre-identifying the subject and pre-calculating the blur parameters based on the detected object's characteristics, the system prepares the blurring effect in advance, making the final image processing automatic and efficient.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If automatic blurring is implemented without manual selection, then the image capturing efficiency is improved, but the precision of blur application may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage capturing efficiencyVSAvoidblur application precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses feedback from the image detection process to continuously adjust and refine the blur application. The processor analyzes the detected foreground object's characteristics and uses this feedback information to optimize the blur parameters, ensuring precise application while maintaining high processing efficiency through automated iterative refinement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes the blur parameters based on the detected foreground object's properties. By adjusting parameters such as blur radius, intensity, and distribution according to the object's size, shape, and position, the system achieves precise blur application automatically, matching the blur effect to the specific characteristics of each detected subject.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
