Solution Overview

Problem

The increasing number of photosensitive units in camera chips leads to a more complicated production process and higher costs, making it challenging to enhance image resolution without significant cost increases.

Innovation Solution

A carrying frame with rotating parts and a driving mechanism that adjusts the optical path of light incident on the photosensitive chip, allowing multiple images to be captured and combined to achieve high-resolution images without adding more pixels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the number of photosensitive units is increased to enhance image resolution, then image resolution is improved, but production process complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage resolutionVSAvoidproduction process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a rotating component that can change the optical path dynamically. By rotating the component, the system captures multiple images at different angles and combines them to achieve high resolution, avoiding the need to increase photosensitive units while maintaining production simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of increasing resolution in the traditional 2D photo-sensitive chip plane, the patent adds a rotational dimension to capture multiple images from different angles. This dimensional approach allows high resolution to be achieved through image combination rather than increasing pixel density

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Measurement precision

If the number of photosensitive units is increased to enhance image resolution, then image resolution is improved, but production cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage resolutionVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The rotating component enables dynamic capture of multiple images that can be combined computationally to achieve high resolution. This approach avoids the expensive process of manufacturing high-density photosensitive chips while delivering comparable or superior image quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates multiple copies of the image at different angles through the rotating component, then combines these copies computationally. This copying approach is more cost-effective than manufacturing a single high-resolution chip with densely packed photosensitive units

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A carrying frame includes a main body, a first rotating part, a second rotating part, and a driving part. The main body includes a first inner surface which defines a first through hole. The first rotating part is mounted on the first inner surface and comprises a second inner surface which defines a second through hole. The second rotating part is mounted on the second inner surface and comprises a third through hole. The driving part is configured to drive at least one of the first rotating part to rotate in a first direction and the second rotating part to rotate in a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, and both the first direction and the second direction are parallel to a plane where the main body is located. A camera module and an electronic device are also provided.
