Mobile Terminal Motion-Based Continuous Image Capture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of mobile terminals face difficulties in capturing continuous images without specific control commands, as existing systems require distinct commands for generating processed images like panoramas, which can be cumbersome and interrupt clear image capturing.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal with a camera, display unit, sensing unit, and controller that generates processed images by sensing the motion of the device, allowing continuous image capture and processing without explicit user commands, using motion information to determine the type of processed image, such as panoramic or object-oriented, based on virtual tracks formed during movement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a user applies distinguishable control commands to perform camera functions, then the camera can perform various functions, but the user has to remember all control commands and clear image capturing is interrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The camera system automatically detects motion patterns and determines the type of processed image to generate without requiring explicit user commands. The sensing unit detects motion of the main body, and the controller automatically generates appropriate processed images (panoramic, object-oriented, or continuous) based on the detected motion patterns, making the system self-serve the user's intent.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual control commands with automatic motion detection. The sensing unit detects physical motion of the device, and the controller translates this mechanical motion into appropriate image processing modes, substituting the mechanical control system with an automatic sensor-based control system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system requires specific control commands for generating processed images, then image processing functions can be performed, but the capturing process becomes cumbersome and interrupts clear image capturing
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously detects motion patterns in advance and automatically determines the type of processed image to generate. By preliminarily detecting the user's motion intent and automatically selecting the appropriate processing mode, the system eliminates the need for post-capture command input, thereby improving capturing efficiency while maintaining versatile image processing capabilities.
3Ease of operation
If the system captures continuous images automatically, then seamless capturing is achieved, but the system needs to automatically recognize motion patterns and determine processing modes
Solution Approach 1:
The sensing unit and controller are designed to serve multiple functions: detecting various types of motion (translation, rotation), determining different processing modes (panoramic, object-oriented, continuous), and generating corresponding processed images. This multi-functional design allows the same hardware components to handle diverse capturing scenarios without requiring separate dedicated systems for each function.
