Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional image acquisition methods require flashing during image capture, which can negatively impact user experience by affecting lighting conditions and image quality.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a flash component is used to illuminate during image acquisition, then image visibility in low light conditions is improved, but user experience deteriorates due to sudden lighting changes and disrupted imaging conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The light-emitting component is activated before the image acquisition moment to pre-illuminate the imaging environment. This preliminary illumination allows the user's eyes to adapt to the lighting conditions and establishes stable imaging conditions before the camera captures the image, avoiding sudden flash disruptions.
Solution Approach 2:
By illuminating the environment in advance with a light-emitting component (such as a screen or auxiliary light), the patent cushions the transition to imaging conditions. This pre-illumination reduces the shock of sudden flash lighting and allows gradual adaptation, improving overall user comfort and experience.
2Manufacturing precision
If a flash component flashes at the moment of image acquisition, then image quality in dark environments is improved, but lighting conditions and image consistency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The light-emitting component provides preliminary illumination before image acquisition to establish stable lighting conditions. This pre-illumination ensures that the imaging environment is properly lit without requiring a sudden flash at the moment of capture, thereby maintaining lighting stability throughout the imaging process.
Solution Approach 2:
The light-emitting component acts as an intermediary between the dark environment and the image acquisition process. It provides gradual, controlled illumination that mediates the transition to imaging conditions, avoiding the harsh, sudden lighting of a flash while still ensuring adequate illumination for quality image capture.
3Ease of operation
If continuous image acquisition and display is implemented, then user interaction and preview capability are improved, but the need for flash illumination at capture moment increases in low light
Solution Approach 1:
The light-emitting component maintains continuous or prolonged illumination during the image acquisition and preview process. This continuous lighting ensures that the imaging environment remains well-lit throughout user interaction, eliminating the need for intermittent flash illumination while supporting continuous image capture and display.
Solution Approach 2:
The light-emitting component serves multiple functions: it illuminates the imaging environment for continuous image acquisition, provides preview lighting for user interaction, and eliminates the need for separate flash illumination. This multi-functionality supports both enhanced user interaction and reduced reliance on flash lighting.

Data Source
AI summary
Processing method, processing apparatus, and electronic device are provided. The processing method includes continuously acquiring an image by using an acquisition component and continuously displaying the acquired image by using a display device in response to a first operation; and storing one or more frames of the image by using a storage device in response to a second operation. After the first operation and before storing the one or more frames of the image, there is at least one moment that a first light-emitting component is in an illuminating state and the moment of the first light-emitting component being in the illuminating state is different from a moment that the one or more frames of the image are acquired.
