Multi-Camera Shooting Control Through Proximity-Based User Input
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The fixed position of capturing virtual keys on electronic device screens makes it inconvenient for users to operate and control multiple cameras during image capture.
Innovation Solution
A method where a user inputs on a first camera to designate it as a control camera, and then moves a target operating body closer to that camera within a threshold distance to trigger the second camera to capture an image, allowing user-defined control of camera selection and operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the capturing virtual key is fixed on the screen, then the interface layout is simple and stable, but the ease of operation deteriorates when controlling multiple cameras
Solution Approach 1:
The capturing virtual key changes its position dynamically based on the selected camera. When different cameras are selected, the key appears at different locations on the screen (e.g., bottom center for rear camera, top center for front camera), making the interface adaptive rather than static.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the screen are assigned different functional meanings based on the selected camera. The position of the capturing key is optimized for each camera type, with the key appearing in locations that are most convenient for the specific shooting scenario.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple cameras are supported, then the adaptability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to complex control
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device integrates multiple camera functions (front camera, rear camera, depth camera) within a single camera application interface. The system provides a unified controlling mechanism that works across all camera types, allowing one interface to serve multiple purposes.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface dynamically adapts its layout and control element positions based on which camera is selected. This allows the same interface to be optimized for different camera types without requiring separate applications or complex manual configurations.

AI summary
A shooting method includes: receiving a first input performed by a target operating body on a first camera among at least one camera; determining, in response to the first input, the first camera as a camera that controls a second camera among the at least one camera to capture an image; receiving a second input performed by the target operating body on the first camera; and controlling, in response to the second input, the second camera to capture a first image in a case that a distance between the target operating body and the first camera is less than or equal to a first threshold.
