Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mobile terminals lack an efficient method to handle and correct destabilization of objects within images, particularly when the same input signal is used to determine the presence of destabilization, limiting user experience in image stabilization and correction.

Innovation Solution

A mobile terminal with advanced image processing capabilities, including a sensing unit and controller, that automatically detects destabilization and performs correction using input signals to stabilize images by selecting and applying corrections based on input gestures and sensor data, allowing for real-time image stabilization and sharing options.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If automatic destabilization detection and correction is implemented, then image quality is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile terminal automatically detects destabilization in captured images and applies corrections without requiring user intervention. The controller autonomously analyzes image data, determines the type and degree of destabilization, selects appropriate correction algorithms, and processes the image to produce stabilized output, enabling the system to serve itself in the image stabilization process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical image stabilization methods with electronic processing. Instead of relying on physical stabilization mechanisms or manual user adjustment, the system uses digital image processing algorithms executed by the controller to correct destabilization, substituting mechanical approaches with electronic/software-based solutions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Manufacturing precision

If real-time image stabilization processing is performed, then image quality is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of the captured image to detect destabilization characteristics before applying correction algorithms. By pre-identifying the type, direction, and magnitude of destabilization, the system can select the most efficient correction method and parameters, reducing the overall processing time required for stabilization while maintaining image quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A mobile terminal and controlling method thereof are disclosed, by which a stabilization correction or a preset correction is performed depending on whether a destabilization is recognized from at least one object contained in an image. The present invention includes a display, and a controller operably coupled to the display and configured to cause the display to display a first image, cause the display to display a second image when destabilization of at least one object included in the first image is detected, the second image being an image of which destabilization correction is performed on the at least one object, and cause the display to display a third image when no destabilization of the at least one object is detected in the first image, the third image being an image of which preset correction is performed on the first image
