Page Image Stitching for Single-File Screen Capture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for capturing and sharing images of pages that exceed a single screen require multiple image files, making management and transmission cumbersome.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for generating a single image file by combining multiple screen captures or scroll captures, avoiding overlapping areas and managing canvas size to efficiently capture and combine images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If multiple image files are generated for capturing pages that cannot be displayed on one screen, then the complete page content can be captured, but the management and transmission of image files becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple captured image segments into a single composite image file. The controller combines first through Nth capture images into one unified image file, eliminating the need to manage multiple separate files while preserving complete page content.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple screen captures are performed to capture the entire page, then the complete content can be obtained, but the number of operations and time required increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically capturing multiple screen segments in sequence without requiring user intervention between captures. The controller executes multiple screen capture operations programmatically, reducing the time users would spend manually capturing and managing multiple images.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple capture operations are merged into a single automated process where the controller combines first through Nth capture images into one unified image file, reducing the total time required compared to manual separate capture and management operations.
3Measurement precision
If multiple image files are generated for each captured area, then detailed capture of each screen area is achieved, but the complexity of selecting and transmitting individual files increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple precisely captured image segments into a single organized image file with proper sequencing. The controller combines first through Nth capture images in the correct order, maintaining capture area precision while eliminating the complexity of selecting and managing multiple individual files for transmission.

AI summary
A method of generating an image file includes providing an electronic page through an electronic device; acquiring a plurality of images including at least a portion of the electronic page based on a user's input; and generating an image file including at least a first image and a second image of the plurality of images.
