Solution Overview

Problem

Existing photographing devices face challenges in efficiently recording fishing videos without consuming excessive storage space, as continuous recording during long fishing sessions can lead to storage issues and missed capturing of exciting moments.

Innovation Solution

A control method for a photographing device that enters a pre-shot mode, identifies a target state of a target object using a neural network model, and stores pre-shot photos and/or videos within a preset time interval when the target state meets specific conditions, thereby reducing unnecessary recording and optimizing storage usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If continuous recording is used during long fishing sessions, then no exciting moments are missed, but storage space is quickly consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of recordingVSAvoidstorage space consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary identification of exciting moments using image recognition technology before triggering recording. The photographing device continuously analyzes captured images in real-time to detect target states (such as fish jumping, rod bending, or other fishing events), and only starts recording when an exciting moment is identified. This preliminary detection action prevents unnecessary continuous recording while ensuring no exciting moments are missed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Quantity of substance

If manual intervention is used to start recording, then storage space is conserved, but exciting moments may be missed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage space usageVSAvoidcapture accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The photographing device autonomously monitors its own captured content using integrated image recognition algorithms. The system automatically analyzes each captured image to determine whether it represents an exciting fishing moment, and autonomously triggers recording without requiring external manual intervention. This self-service mechanism ensures both storage conservation and reliable capture of exciting events.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If pre-shot mode records a long time interval, then more context is captured, but storage space is wasted on redundant content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegrity of recorded contentVSAvoidstorage space efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different recording quality and duration settings to different segments of captured content based on their significance. When an exciting moment is detected, the system records the surrounding time interval with high quality to preserve context and integrity. For non-exciting segments, recording is either not performed or performed with lower settings. This localized quality adjustment ensures important content is captured completely while minimizing storage waste on redundant material.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Embodiments of the present application disclose a method for controlling a photographing device. The method may include obtaining a target state of a target object; determining that the target state of the target object meets a preset condition; and storing pre-shot photos and/or pre-shot videos of the photographing device within a preset time interval. The photographing device may be in a pre-shot mode, and the preset time interval may include an interval from a target moment when the target state of the target object meets the preset condition to a first preset moment prior to the target moment.
