Multimedia Data Pre-acquisition for Ideal Timing Capture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users often fail to capture the perfect moment due to delays between anticipating and actually taking a photo, and existing continuous shooting features result in unwanted images, while adjusting image attributes like brightness and contrast is unintuitive and requires multiple attempts to find optimal settings.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for pre-acquiring and storing multiple sets of multimedia data before and after user-triggered capture, allowing users to select the best images and adjust attributes like brightness, contrast, and colors, using an image sensor, buffer memory, and display apparatus to present multiple options for selection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If continuous shooting feature is used to capture the perfect moment, then the probability of capturing the perfect moment is improved, but the number of unwanted images increases requiring manual deletion
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-acquiring multiple sets of multimedia data before the user-triggered capture moment. This allows the perfect moment to be captured without requiring continuous shooting, as the ideal frames are already acquired and stored in buffer memory before the user presses the shutter button.
2Manufacturing precision
If user adjusts each image attribute one at a time to find optimal settings, then the precision of attribute adjustment is improved, but the time and complexity required increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple attribute adjustments into a single automated operation. The calculating unit simultaneously adjusts brightness, contrast, colors and other attributes based on the selected multimedia data, eliminating the need for users to adjust each attribute separately and intuitively finding optimal settings.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically adjusting image attributes without requiring user intervention. The calculating unit autonomously processes the selected multimedia data and applies optimal attribute settings, freeing the user from the complex task of manual adjustment.
3Reliability
If multiple sets of multimedia data are pre-acquired and stored in buffer memory, then the selection of ideal images is improved, but the memory storage requirement increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements discarding and recovering by managing buffer memory efficiently. When the buffer is full, the oldest data is discarded to make space for new pre-acquired multimedia data. This allows continuous pre-acquisition without requiring excessively large buffer memory, while still maintaining multiple image sets for selection.
