Solution Overview

Problem

The inefficiency in adjusting display settings of preview images on mobile devices during photography due to the need for manual operations within adjustment windows hinders user experience.

Innovation Solution

A display control method that allows users to update the display mode of objects in a preview image by interacting with object signs in an object display control region on the shooting preview screen, enabling efficient and flexible adjustments through input actions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually operate within adjustment windows to adjust preview image display, then display adjustment functionality is achieved, but operation efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay adjustment operationVSAvoidadjustment efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the adjustment functionality by providing separate control regions for different display parameters (first display parameter control region and second display parameter control region). Each region independently controls specific aspects of preview image display, allowing users to adjust different parameters without navigating through a unified complex adjustment window, thereby improving operational efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces control objects as intermediary elements between user input and display adjustment. Users interact with control objects in the control regions, which then mediate the adjustment process by applying the selected display parameters to the preview image. This intermediary layer simplifies the user interface and streamlines the adjustment workflow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple control regions are added for different display parameters, then display control flexibility is improved, but interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay control flexibilityVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universal control regions that can handle multiple display parameters within unified interfaces. The first and second display parameter control regions are designed to work together as a cohesive system, where each region can independently control its designated parameter while maintaining consistent interaction patterns. This multi-functional design allows comprehensive display control without proportionally increasing interface complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of consolidating all adjustment functions into a single complex window, the patent inverts the approach by distributing control across multiple specialized regions. Each control region focuses on specific display parameters, presenting a simpler, more focused interface for each task while collectively providing comprehensive control flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

AI summary

A display control method includes receiving a first input performed by a user on a first object sign in an object display control region on a shooting preview screen; and updating a display mode of a first object in a first preview image displayed on the shooting preview screen, in response to the first input; where the object display control region includes at least one object sign, each object sign is used to indicate a shooting object in the first preview image, and a shooting object indicated by the first object sign is the first object.
