Multimedia Device Screen Image Capture for Shortcut Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional multi-functional computing devices require users to navigate multiple layers to create hot buttons and bookmarks, leading to inefficiencies in accessing desired functions, with limited customization and inconvenient text-format options.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for a multimedia device that allows users to quickly create shortcuts by capturing screen images and generating applications, providing customizable interfaces and personalized pages for easy access to functions, regardless of device types.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users navigate multiple layers to create hot buttons and bookmarks in conventional devices, then functions can be accessed, but the process becomes time-consuming and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically capturing screen images and generating application shortcuts without requiring users to manually navigate through multiple menu layers. The shortcut creation process is initiated and completed by the system based on user selection, eliminating the time-consuming manual configuration process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system serves itself by automatically creating shortcuts and capturing screen images without requiring extensive user intervention. The multimedia device autonomously generates the shortcut applications and configures them based on the captured screen content, reducing the operational burden on users.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional devices provide multiple functions, then device capability increases, but navigation complexity and number of clicks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts the essential function information from deep within the device's function hierarchy by capturing screen images. Instead of requiring users to navigate through multiple layers to access function descriptions, the system captures the visual representation of the function and uses it to create direct shortcuts, effectively removing the navigation complexity while preserving access to multiple functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates visual copies of function interfaces through screen image capture. These captured images serve as shortcuts that replicate the visual appearance and function of the original interface, allowing users to access multiple functions through simplified visual shortcuts rather than navigating through complex menu structures.
3Loss of information
If bookmark items use text-format options, then information can be stored, but visual display capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates visual copies of function interfaces through screen image capture. These captured images serve as shortcuts that replicate the visual appearance and function of the original interface, allowing users to access multiple functions through simplified visual shortcuts rather than navigating through complex menu structures.
