Screen Capture Boxes for Multi-Region Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current screen capture methods on mobile devices are complex and require multiple operations to capture different regions of the same display interface, leading to inefficient user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that display multiple screen capture boxes on a display interface in response to a user input, allowing a single screen capture operation to capture image content from multiple regions, with options for editing and splicing screenshots, and the ability to switch between display interfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional screen capture method is used to capture entire display interface, then complete interface content is captured, but multiple operations are required to capture different regions leading to complex user operations
Solution Approach 1:
The display interface is divided into multiple screen capture boxes, each representing a selectable region. Users can select multiple boxes simultaneously to capture specific regions of interest, transforming a single complex operation into multiple simple selections.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple screen capture boxes can be merged into a single capture operation. When users select multiple boxes, the system combines them into one unified capture action that processes all selected regions simultaneously, reducing the number of operations from multiple sequential captures to a single multi-region capture.
2Productivity
If multiple screen capture operations are performed to capture different regions, then specific region content is captured, but operation time and efficiency are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-divides the display interface into multiple screen capture boxes before the user needs to capture content. This preliminary segmentation allows users to immediately select and capture multiple regions in a single operation, eliminating the time-consuming sequential capture process.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple capture operations are merged into a single unified operation that processes all selected screen capture boxes simultaneously. This merging dramatically reduces the time required for screen capture by eliminating sequential processing and waiting between multiple captures.
3Adaptability or versatility
If single screen capture box is used, then simple capture operation is performed, but flexibility to capture multiple regions simultaneously is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The screen capture system is designed with multi-functionality to handle both single-region and multi-region capture scenarios. Users can select one or multiple screen capture boxes based on their needs, making the system universally applicable to various capture requirements while maintaining operational simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The display interface is segmented into multiple independent screen capture boxes that can be selectively captured. This segmentation provides the flexibility to capture multiple regions simultaneously while maintaining simple individual box selection, resolving the contradiction between versatility and simplicity.

AI summary
A screen capture method and apparatus as well as an electronic device. The screen capture method includes: in a case that a first display interface is displayed, receiving a first input performed on the first display interface; displaying at least two first screen capture boxes on the first display interface in response to the first input; and in a case that a second input is received, performing a screen capture operation on image content determined by a target screen capture box, and outputting a screenshot, where the target screen capture box includes the first screen capture boxes.
