Rotatable Camera Tracking for Centered Image Focus
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices with camera modules often capture blurry or out-of-focus images when the object or scene is moving, whether the device is stationary or moving with the object, failing to meet user satisfaction.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a motor set and processor that tracks a moving object to keep it centered in the display zone, using a rotatable image capture device and display to maintain focus.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the electronic device is stationary or moves with the object, then the device can capture images, but the captured images become dynamic blurred or out of focus
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the image capture device rotatable relative to the body through a motor set. This allows the device to dynamically adjust its orientation to track moving objects, transforming a static capture system into a dynamic one that can adapt to object motion and maintain focus quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by using the display to show the captured image and the processor to detect whether the object is centered. Based on this feedback, the processor controls the motor set to adjust the image capture device's orientation, creating a closed-loop control system that continuously maintains object centering and image focus.
2Extent of automation
If the image capture device is made rotatable to track objects, then auto-focusing is achieved, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the system to automatically track and center objects without manual intervention. The processor continuously monitors the displayed image, detects object position, and controls the motor set to maintain centering, creating an autonomous auto-focusing system that serves itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements multi-functionality by integrating multiple functions into a single system: the image capture device captures images, the display shows the captured images, the processor analyzes the images and controls the motor set, and the motor set adjusts the capture device orientation. This unified multi-functional approach achieves auto-focusing while managing system complexity through integrated design.
