Solution Overview
Problem
Current imaging technologies require multiple captures and extensive processing to compose multi-angle or high-definition images, which can be cumbersome and inefficient, especially when coordinating multiple camera devices.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with an image composing system that coordinates multiple capturing devices to capture images from predetermined angles or parts of an object, integrates these images, and adjusts parameters for consistent composition, enabling efficient generation of multi-angle or high-definition images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple camera devices are coordinated to capture images from different angles or parts, then the image quality and comprehensiveness are improved, but the device complexity and coordination difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the imaging task into multiple segments by assigning different capturing devices to capture specific angles or parts of the object. Each device is given a specific capturing task (e.g., front view, side view, detail shots) rather than requiring all devices to capture everything, thereby reducing coordination complexity while maintaining comprehensive image quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic device acts as an intermediary that receives images from multiple capturing devices, processes them, and composes the final comprehensive image. This central coordination point simplifies the interaction between multiple devices by providing a single integration interface, reducing the overall system complexity.
2Measurement precision
If multiple images are captured and processed via computer, then comprehensive multi-angle or high-definition images are generated, but the processing time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by having capturing devices pre-positioned at optimal angles and parts before the actual capture. The electronic device also pre-processes received images by performing initial alignment, scaling, and selection of key features before final composition, reducing the computational burden and time required for the final image generation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system extracts only the essential and relevant portions from multiple captured images rather than processing all images in full detail. The electronic device identifies and extracts key features, overlapping regions, and critical details from each input image, discarding redundant information, thereby significantly reducing processing time while maintaining image comprehensiveness.
3Productivity
If multiple capturing devices are used to capture images simultaneously, then productivity is improved, but the coordination and synchronization difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device provides feedback to capturing devices regarding image reception status, processing progress, and timing synchronization. This feedback mechanism allows real-time coordination adjustments, enabling multiple devices to operate efficiently in parallel while maintaining proper synchronization without excessive manual intervention.

AI summary
An image composing method searches other electronic devices nearby via a communication unit, selects a number of electronic devices from the searched other electronic devices to determine slave members of a sharing community, and selects a number of slave members from the slave members of the sharing community to be capturing devices. The method identifies an object, determines a capturing position of each capturing device according to the object, the number of the capturing devices, and a predetermined manner, and controls each capturing device to move to a corresponding capturing position. The method further instructs each capturing device to take image according to the predetermined manner and receives the image from each capturing device, and integrates the images taken by the capturing devices to generate a single composed image.
