Multi-Mode Camera Photography Simultaneous Capture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional terminal devices require complex operations and may miss important photographing moments due to the need to repeatedly switch between shooting modes, as they can only provide one mode at a time.
Innovation Solution
A photographing processing method and apparatus that enables a multi-mode switch, allowing the camera to simultaneously photograph in multiple modes, displaying effects in all modes on an interface and saving resources for each mode, thereby simplifying the operation process and improving user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the camera provides only one shooting mode at a time, then the operation interface is simple, but the user needs to repeatedly switch modes which complicates the operation process and may cause missed photographing moments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple shooting modes into a single photographing operation. When the multi-mode switch is enabled, the camera simultaneously executes photographing in multiple shooting modes (e.g., normal mode, black and white mode, portrait mode) based on one photographing instruction, eliminating the need for users to switch between modes manually.
Solution Approach 2:
The camera system is enhanced with multi-functionality to support both single-mode and multi-mode photographing operations. The multi-mode switch enables the camera to adapt between providing one shooting mode at a time or simultaneously providing multiple shooting modes, making the system versatile enough to handle different user needs without compromising operational simplicity.
2Loss of time
If the camera simultaneously photographs in multiple shooting modes, then the user can directly compare effects without switching modes, but the processing complexity and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing the captured image data in multiple shooting modes simultaneously right after the photographing instruction is executed. This parallel processing approach eliminates the need for sequential mode switching and allows the user to directly compare different shooting effects without waiting for mode transitions.
Solution Approach 2:
The photographing processing system dynamically adjusts its operation based on the state of the multi-mode switch. When the switch is enabled, the system dynamically executes multiple shooting modes simultaneously and dynamically displays the results. The system can also dynamically switch between single-mode and multi-mode operations, providing flexibility without excessive complexity.
3Reliability
If the camera enables multi-mode simultaneous photographing, then the user experience is improved by avoiding missed moments, but the energy consumption and resource usage increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements partial action by allowing users to selectively enable multi-mode photographing only when needed through the multi-mode switch. Instead of continuously consuming excessive energy for multi-mode processing, the camera uses standard single-mode processing by default and only activates the energy-intensive multi-mode simultaneous photographing when the user explicitly requires it, thus balancing reliability improvement with energy conservation.

AI summary
A photographing processing method includes determining whether a multi-mode switch is turned on for a camera of the terminal device when the camera is in an enabled state, where the multi-mode switch is used to control whether the camera uses a plurality of shooting modes to simultaneously photograph, and when the multi-mode switch is turned on for the camera, controlling, according to an externally triggered photographing instruction, the camera to photograph in the plurality of shooting modes.
