Solution Overview

Problem

Users face delays in capturing desired moments due to the time required to operate a camera in electronic devices, making it difficult to quickly capture scenes.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device equipped with an image sensor, display, and processor that allows users to input commands to preview or capture images instantly, enabling rapid photography based on user input.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If the camera is operated through conventional procedures, then the photographing function is achieved, but the time required to capture the scene is excessive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime required to capture sceneVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The processor continuously previews image information from the image sensor and displays it on the display before the user actually triggers the photographing operation. This preliminary display of image information allows the system to be ready to capture the scene instantly when the user provides input, eliminating the delay that would otherwise occur during the photographing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Speed

If the camera operation is simplified for quick capture, then the response speed is improved, but the reliability of proper photographing execution may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse speed to user inputVSAvoidphotographing execution accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The processor continuously provides visual feedback by displaying image information on the display in real-time as the user moves or gestures. This feedback loop allows the user to see what is being captured and confirm the timing and framing are correct, ensuring reliable photographing execution while maintaining fast response to user input.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
