Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If different image capturing devices are used for different focal length requirements, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The image capturing device is designed with a single device body that can perform multiple image capturing functions across different focal length ranges. The processing circuit enables the device to switch between wide-angle mode and telephoto mode, allowing one device to replace multiple specialized devices while maintaining capturing precision for each mode
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple specialized devices are used for different application scenarios, then adaptability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device integrates multiple image capturing modes (wide-angle and telephoto) into a single device, allowing users to capture images from different parts of the human body without switching between multiple specialized devices. The processing circuit automatically manages mode switching based on application needs
Solution Approach 2:
The processing circuit automatically switches between different image capturing modes based on the application scenario without requiring manual intervention from the user. The device self-adjusts the focal length range and other parameters according to the detected application needs, simplifying the user experience
3Adaptability or versatility
If manual mode switching is required for different application scenarios, then adaptability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The processing circuit is configured to automatically detect the application scenario and switch between wide-angle and telephoto modes without user intervention. The device monitors application needs and self-adjusts the image capturing parameters, eliminating the need for manual mode switching while maintaining full adaptability across different scenarios

AI summary
A multi-focal length range image capturing device including a device body, an image capturing circuit, and a processing circuit is provided. The image capturing circuit performs image capturing based on a focal length setting value and generates an image signal. The processing circuit controls the image capturing circuit to be operated in one of plural image capturing modes. When the image capturing circuit is operated in a first image capturing mode, the image capturing circuit sets a focal length range thereof to a first preset focal length range, so as to select the focal length setting value within the first preset focal length range. When the image capturing circuit is operated in a second image capturing mode, the image capturing circuit sets the focal length range to a second preset focal length range, so as to select the focal length setting value within the second preset focal length range.
