Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional 360-degree panoramic cameras are bulky, require expensive and complex equipment for image processing, and need high-speed computation and networking, making them inconvenient and costly, limiting their industrial and economic value.
Innovation Solution
A 360-degree panoramic image selective displaying camera with a wide-angle lens module and a triggering section, integrated with an image displaying processing unit and a displaying-position triggering sensing mechanism, allowing users to select, enlarge, and stitch images by touch, eliminating the need for external processing equipment and complex systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional 360-degree panoramic cameras use artificial intelligent systems and external image processing equipment to identify and select specific targets, then image processing capability is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the image processing function from external equipment and integrates it into the camera body through an embedded processing unit. This allows the camera to perform target identification, image retrieval, enlargement, and stitching operations independently without requiring external AI systems or high-speed computation equipment, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining processing capability
Solution Approach 2:
The camera system performs self-processing of panoramic images through its integrated processing unit. The system automatically identifies targets, retrieves relevant images, enlarges them, and stitches them to the panoramic background without requiring external computation resources or networking equipment, making the system self-sufficient and reducing overall complexity
2Speed
If conventional 360-degree panoramic cameras connect to external high-speed computation equipment via wide-band networking, then processing speed is improved, but installation complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the image processing unit, memory storage, and computation resources into the camera body itself. This integration eliminates the need for separate external computation equipment and wide-band network connections, achieving fast processing speeds while significantly reducing installation complexity and infrastructure requirements
3Measurement precision
If conventional 360-degree panoramic cameras use complicated operation programs and motion detection modules, then image retrieval capability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a touch-sensitive triggering section as an intermediary interface between the user and the complex image processing system. Users can simply touch the screen to select targets for enlargement and retrieval, and the system automatically processes the request through its integrated processing unit, eliminating the need for complicated operation programs while maintaining advanced retrieval capability

AI summary
Disclosed are a 360-degree panorama image selective displaying camera and method, including a 360-degree panoramic image camera body that is provided, on an outside thereof, with at least one wide-angle lens module and a triggering section, at least one image displaying processing unit arranged inside the 360-degree panoramic image camera body, and a displaying-position triggering sensing mechanism. The image displaying processing unit is connected to the wide-angle lens module to process and output a 360-degree panorama image photographed and captured by the wide-angle lens module. The displaying-position triggering sensing mechanism corresponds to the triggering section of the 360-degree panoramic image camera body, so that a pressing touch applied externally to the triggering section causes the displaying-position triggering sensing mechanism to detect the pressing touch position and direction of the triggering section and generate a triggering-position selection sensing signal to the image displaying processing unit, and the image displaying processing unit is allowed to correspondingly and selectively retrieve, enlarge, cut, and stitch a selectively retrieved image, which corresponds to the pressing touch position and direction of the triggering section, among the photographed subjects, to the primitive 360-degree panorama image as a combined output.
