Mobile Terminal Automatic Pre-Capture for Missed Scenes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile terminals often miss capturing desired scenes when images are taken only upon direct user interaction with the capture button, and there is inconvenience in viewing multiple images captured over time in a successive manner.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal capable of automatically capturing images before and after the user presses the capture button and displaying these images in a successively linked manner, allowing for continuous image capture and linked playback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If images are captured only when the user directly touches the capture button, then the device complexity is low and operation is simple, but desired scenes may be missed and user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically capturing images before the user presses the capture button. The controller is configured to capture a first image at a first point in time when the capture button is pressed, and automatically capture additional images at second and third point in times before the first point in time, ensuring desired scenes are not missed while maintaining simple user interaction.
2Ease of operation
If multiple images captured over time are displayed in all-at-once or successive manner, then the complete capture sequence is shown, but viewing convenience and user experience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the captured images into distinct groups: a first image captured when the button is pressed, a second image captured before the first image, and a third image captured after the first image. These segmented images are then displayed in a successively linked manner, preserving the temporal sequence while improving viewing convenience through structured presentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The display system presents images in a periodic sequence, showing the second image, then the first image, then the third image in succession. This periodic display approach maintains the chronological information while providing a convenient viewing experience through systematic progression.
3Reliability
If automatic image capture before and after button press is implemented, then desired scenes are ensured to be captured, but device complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The controller monitors the capture button state and uses this feedback to trigger automatic capture sequences. When the button is pressed at a first point in time, the system captures the first image and automatically captures additional images at second and third point in times, ensuring reliable capture of desired scenes while managing complexity through event-driven control.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a mobile terminal capable of displaying an image and a control method thereof. A mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include an image generation unit configured to capture an image; a display unit configured to display the captured image; and a controller configured to capture a first image at a first point in time at which an image generation control command is received and capture a second image at a second point in time which is a point in time subsequent to the first point in time at which the image generation control command is received, and automatically capture and store at least one image between the first and the second points in time in a preset specific condition.
