Mobile Terminal Photo Capture Method for Photographer Inclusion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current photo capturing methods in mobile terminals, especially when taking group pictures, often result in poor image quality due to the lack of photographer inclusion and require fixed devices like tripods, limiting environmental flexibility.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that allow capturing a first picture, overlapping it with a framed image to display a second picture, enabling selection of a target region from either image, and combining them into one, ensuring the photographer is included and improving image quality.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If self-time mode is used to capture group pictures, then the photographer can be included in the picture, but the image quality deteriorates and fixed devices like tripods are required
Solution Approach 1:
The picture capture process is divided into two separate captures: first capturing the photographer, then capturing the group. This segmentation allows each capture to be optimized independently, with the first picture taken by the photographer at optimal positioning and the second picture capturing the group, eliminating the need for self-time mode and tripods while maintaining high image quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The photographer captures the first picture before joining the group for the second picture. This preliminary action allows the photographer to position the camera optimally and capture the first image at full quality, then seamlessly transition to capture the group picture without requiring automatic self-time mode or external support devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple pictures are captured to include all subjects, then completeness improves, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the overlapped picture have different transparency qualities - the first picture region has higher transparency to preserve the photographer's image, while the framed image region has lower transparency. This local quality differentiation allows selective combination of regions based on their individual strengths, achieving complete subject coverage with simple processing.
Solution Approach 2:
An overlapped picture is created as an intermediary representation that combines the first picture and framed image with different transparency levels. This intermediary allows the system to visually present both captures together, enabling users to selectively choose regions for combination without complex automated processing algorithms.

AI summary
A method for capturing a picture includes: capturing a first picture; overlapping the first picture with a framed image for framing a second picture, and displaying an overlapped picture, where transparency of the first picture is different from transparency of the framed image; receiving a selecting signal to select a target reserved region of the first picture, or to select a region of the framed image as a target reserved region of the second picture; capturing the second picture; and combining the target reserved region of the first picture and the second picture into one picture, or combining the first picture and the target reserved region of the second picture into one picture.
