Selfie Mirror Non-Mirror Selection Interface
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current selfie-taking technologies do not adequately accommodate user preferences for mirror or non-mirror images, leading to inconsistent display results that may not meet individual user requirements, thus affecting user experience.
Innovation Solution
A photographing method that includes displaying a preview image and offering users a choice between a mirror and non-mirror version of their selfie on a terminal's interface, allowing users to select their preferred image for storage and display, which can be automatically set based on their selection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the terminal stores selfie images in a fixed mirror or non-mirror form by default, then the storage process is simple and fast, but the display result cannot meet the requirements of different users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic configuration of selfie image storage formats by allowing users to select between mirror and non-mirror forms through a user interface. The system transitions from a fixed storage mode to a configurable mode where the storage format adapts to user preferences, achieved through selectable parameters in the image processing pipeline.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of image orientation (mirror vs. non-mirror) as a configurable setting. By introducing a selection mechanism that allows users to change this parameter, the system accommodates different user preferences without requiring multiple fixed processing pipelines, thus managing complexity through parameterization.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the terminal provides both mirror and non-mirror image options for users to select, then user satisfaction is improved, but the interface complexity and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary generation of both mirror and non-mirror image versions during the photo capture process. By pre-processing and preparing both variants in advance, the system eliminates the need for real-time processing when the user selects a preferred format, thus reducing the time loss associated with providing multiple options.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a copy of the captured image in mirror form and another copy in non-mirror form. By duplicating the image processing results in advance, the system provides users with ready-to-display versions of both formats, avoiding the time penalty of generating images on-demand while maintaining adaptability to user preferences.

AI summary
This application relates to a photographing method and a terminal. The terminal includes a front-facing camera, a rear-facing camera, and a touch display screen detects that the front-facing camera is enabled; displays a preview image that is captured in selfie mode by using the front-facing camera; detects an enabling command of a user on a photographing shutter, enters a first user interface, and displays, on the first user interface, a first image and a second image that is a mirror of the first image; and in response to a selection of the user for the first image or the second image displayed on the first user interface, displays an image selected from the first image and the second image.
