Enhanced Screenshot Capture with Contextual Metadata Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional screen capture functions in operating systems like iOS and Android only capture the displayed screen as it is, without the ability to add additional information related to the content at the time of capture.
Innovation Solution
An image processing method that detects a capture trigger, acquires additional information relevant to the content displayed on the screen at the time of capture, and combines this information with the screenshot to generate an additional-information-added image.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional screen capture function is used, then the capture operation is simple, but the captured image lacks additional information related to the content
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting capture triggers and acquiring additional information (such as scene metadata, object information, or content context) before the screenshot is generated. This ensures that relevant information is captured at the appropriate timing without requiring post-processing or manual information gathering.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the screenshot capture function with additional information acquisition into a single integrated process. The captured image and additional information are combined to generate an enhanced screenshot that contains both visual content and contextual data, eliminating the need for separate information gathering steps.
2Loss of information
If additional information is acquired and added to screenshot, then the utility of captured image is improved, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system detects capture triggers and acquires additional information in advance before the actual screenshot generation. By performing these actions preliminarily, the system avoids time-consuming operations during the final image generation phase, thus reducing overall processing time while still capturing comprehensive information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects capture triggers and acquires additional information without requiring manual user input or intervention. This self-service approach streamlines the process by eliminating time-consuming manual operations while ensuring that relevant information is captured efficiently.

AI summary
An image processing method comprises receiving content; displaying the content on a display; detecting a capture trigger for capturing a screenshot of the content displayed on the display; acquiring additional information relating to the content displayed on the display at a capture timing corresponding to a timing at which the capture trigger is detected; and capturing the screenshot of the content displayed on the display at the capture timing and adding the additional information to the screenshot to generate an additional-information-added image.
