Mobile Video Recording with One-Tap Switching and Movable Controls
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile terminal video recording methods require multiple operations, making it difficult to capture fleeting moments due to the time-consuming process of switching from photographing to video recording modes.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that enable a mobile terminal to enter video recording mode upon a preset operation on the camera button and utilize a movable icon in the interface for adjusting recording parameters, allowing single-handed, one-click operations to switch and adjust video settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user follows the conventional process of opening camera application, switching from photographing mode to video mode, and pressing camera button, then video recording can be started, but the process takes multiple operations and relatively long time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the photographing mode interface and video recording functionality into a unified interface. The camera button in photographing mode directly triggers video recording, merging the mode switching operation with the recording operation. This eliminates the need to separately switch modes and start recording, reducing the number of operations from multiple steps to a single action.
Solution Approach 2:
The camera button is designed to serve multiple functions: it can trigger photo capture in photographing mode and directly initiate video recording when activated in photographing mode. This multi-functionality allows the same interface element to perform different operations based on context, enabling quick access to video recording without requiring a separate video mode interface.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the user switches from photographing mode to video mode before recording, then video recording parameters can be adjusted, but the process becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent displays the video recording interface, including parameter adjustment options and the movable icon, in advance within the photographing mode screen. This preliminary preparation allows users to access video recording parameters without actually switching to a separate video mode, reducing operational complexity while maintaining full adaptability for parameter adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a movable icon that can be dynamically positioned within the photographing mode interface to represent and adjust video recording parameters. This dynamic element allows users to interact with video recording settings directly in the photographing mode, making the interface more flexible and easier to operate without requiring mode switching.

AI summary
A method for recording a video, including: controlling a mobile terminal to enter a video recording mode and start recording a video, in response to an operating instruction to a camera button, in a case where the mobile terminal is in a photographing mode; controlling a video recording interface to display a movable icon and receiving a moving operation instruction to the movable icon; and adjusting one or more video recording parameters based on the move operation instruction to the movable icon.
