Multi-Shutter Camera App for Intent-Based AI Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current smartphone camera applications lack the ability to selectively capture media content based on user intent, requiring users to navigate multiple apps for different purposes such as sharing, information retrieval, or shopping, and do not utilize artificial intelligence to streamline content usage.
Innovation Solution
A multi-shutter camera application that uses artificial intelligence to process images based on selected shutters and image type, providing users with intuitive options for sharing, discovery, or shopping directly within the app, integrating geolocation and content analysis for context-aware suggestions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single camera application captures all media content, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ability to selectively process content based on user intent is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements multiple virtual shutters within a single camera application, each shutter corresponding to a specific user intent (e.g., sharing, information retrieval, shopping). When a user selects a particular shutter, the captured image is automatically routed to the appropriate platform or application, eliminating the need for users to manually transfer images between apps while maintaining intent-based processing capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The camera application serves multiple functions by integrating intent recognition and automatic routing capabilities. A single application handles both image capture and intelligent distribution to various platforms (social media, shopping apps, information services), making the system universally applicable to diverse user needs without requiring separate specialized applications.
2Measurement precision
If manual transfer of images between applications is required, then the precision of content usage is improved, but the time and effort required increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary classification of user intent at the moment of image capture by providing multiple labeled shutters. Each shutter is pre-configured for a specific purpose (sharing, shopping, information), so the routing decision is made in advance during capture rather than requiring post-capture manual intervention, thus maintaining precision while reducing time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The camera application automatically routes captured images to the appropriate platforms based on the shutter selected by the user, eliminating the need for manual file transfer operations. The system self-manages the distribution process, preserving content usage accuracy while significantly reducing the time and effort required.
3Ease of operation
If traditional camera applications are used, then the ease of operation is maintained, but the ability to provide context-aware options is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The user interface is segmented into multiple shutters, each representing a different user intent. This segmentation maintains simplicity by presenting clear, purpose-driven options at the capture stage, while enabling intelligent automation through the underlying routing mechanism that connects each shutter to specific platforms and processing workflows.

AI summary
A multi-shutter camera application and method selectively sends images to different artificial intelligence and innovative platforms for fast sharing and informational purposes. An electronic device with a touch sensitive display and a processor is utilized. A capture screen on the display includes a multi-shutter view (a live view and at least two selective capture buttons (e.g., shutters)) for capturing media content. The method may include receiving input from the buttons to capture the content and direct it to an artificial intelligence platform; processing the content information based on the selected button; analyzing the content through parameters and show options to the user on the same screen that displays the content; and presenting a plurality of selectable options related to the user's selected shutter and intent of capturing the content, including, but not limited to uses related to at least one of the following: discovery, shopping and sharing functionality alternatives.
