Mobile Terminal Screen Capture with Supplementary Information Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile terminals do not intuitively convey supplementary information when sharing screens, requiring additional messages to convey URLs or other content, leading to a lack of clarity in the information being shared.
Innovation Solution
A method and mobile terminal configuration that captures a screen and extracts supplementary information, such as URLs or local links, to store alongside the captured image, allowing intuitive recognition of the intended shared content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If only a captured image is transmitted to share screen content, then the transmission is simple and quick, but the recipient cannot obtain supplementary information such as URLs or content details
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the captured image with supplementary information (URLs, content details, metadata) into a single integrated data structure. This combination ensures that when the image is transmitted, all associated supplementary information is automatically included, eliminating the need for separate transmissions while maintaining organized accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary data structure that acts as a container linking the captured image with its supplementary information. This intermediary structure manages the relationship between visual content and associated data, enabling efficient transmission and retrieval without requiring complex external coordination.
2Loss of information
If additional messages are transmitted to convey supplementary information, then complete information is shared, but the sharing process becomes time-consuming and less efficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple information elements (captured image, URLs, content details, metadata) into a single transmission package. This merging eliminates the need for sequential or separate transmissions of supplementary information, reducing total transmission time while ensuring complete information delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary organization and packaging of supplementary information along with the captured image before transmission. By preparing the complete information set in advance as an integrated structure, the system avoids the need for follow-up transmissions or additional time-consuming information gathering at the recipient end.
3Ease of operation
If only a URL is transmitted to share web page information, then the transmission is simple, but the recipient cannot intuitively understand the content without opening the URL
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing different types of information in different formats within the same transmission package. The captured image provides visual context for immediate understanding, while URLs and text details provide structured data for further action. Each element serves its specific purpose, creating a comprehensive information package that enhances ease of understanding without unnecessary redundancy.
Data Source
AI summary
A mobile terminal for storing supplementary information together with a captured screen when the mobile terminal captures a screen displayed on a display unit, and a controlling method thereof is provided. The method of controlling a mobile terminal including a display unit includes capturing a screen of a process displayed on the display unit, extracting supplementary information associated with the process displayed on the display unit, and storing the extracted supplementary information together with the captured screen, as a captured image.
