Electronic Device Media Selection for High-Quality Content Creation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for combining sound and image, such as those described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 2019-220848, require re-recording or re-photographing when low quality is detected, making it difficult to generate high-quality content easily.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a selection unit and acquisition unit that allows selecting and combining moving images or sounds from multiple cameras, enabling the creation of high-quality content by integrating selected media from different sources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a sound acquired from a prescribed microphone and an image acquired from a prescribed camera are combined, then the content can be generated, but the user has to perform photographing or recording again when becoming aware of low quality, making it difficult to generate high-quality content easily
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring and storing multiple moving images and sounds from different cameras and microphones before content generation. This allows the user to select from pre-acquired high-quality materials without needing to re-photograph or re-record, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of content generation and content quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of material selection by providing multiple options of moving images and sounds with different qualities and sources. The user can select the best-quality materials from the plurality of acquired contents, enabling high-quality content generation without requiring re-recording or re-photographing.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple cameras and microphones are used to acquire content, then high-quality content can be generated, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device performs multiple functions using a single integrated system: it acts as both a camera for acquiring moving images and a sound recording device for acquiring sounds. The same device can generate single-camera or multi-camera content by selecting from its multiple imaging devices and acoustic devices, thereby achieving high-quality content generation without requiring separate specialized equipment for each function.
