Remote Camera Control via Networked Preview Synthesis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile terminal shooting methods are limited by the distance between the device and the photographer, preventing remote shooting control.
Innovation Solution
A method and terminal that enable remote shooting control by establishing a connection with a second terminal, allowing for the display and synthesis of preview interfaces, and enabling shooting instructions to be sent remotely to adjust camera settings and capture images or videos.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional shooting control methods are used (clicking shooting control or using external tools like selfie stick), then the shooting operation can be performed, but the shooting distance is limited and remote shooting control cannot be implemented
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a network connection as an intermediary to transmit shooting control signals from the terminal to the camera device remotely. The terminal establishes a connection with the camera device through network communication, allowing shooting instructions to be sent without physical contact or proximity, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and shooting distance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical interaction (physical clicking of shooting control or using selfie stick) with electronic/network-based control. Instead of mechanical contact or close-proximity tools, the system uses network communication to transmit control signals, enabling remote shooting control and eliminating the distance limitation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple terminals share shooting preview interfaces, then remote shooting control and image synthesis are enabled, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple terminal preview interfaces with the camera device's preview interface through network connection. The terminals share and synthesize preview images, combining multiple data streams into a unified shooting control system. This merging approach enables versatile shooting modes while managing complexity through integrated processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements multi-functionality by enabling the camera device to receive and process shooting control signals from multiple different terminals. The system can handle various shooting scenarios (remote control, shared preview, synthesized imaging) using a unified architecture, providing adaptability across different use cases without proportionally increasing complexity.

AI summary
Provided are a photographing method and a terminal, wherein the photographing method is applied to a first terminal, and the first terminal establishes a camera sharing connection with a second terminal by means of a network. The method comprises: in a state where a remote connection for sharing a photographic preview screen has been established with the second terminal, receiving a first preview interface, sent by the second terminal, of the second terminal and displaying same; receiving a first input of a user; and in response to the first input, outputting first target photographic data, wherein the first target photographic data comprises some or all image information of the first preview interface, and the first target photographic data is a video or an image.
