Special-Shaped Screen Screenshot Synthesis via Inversion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Special-shaped screens, such as those with bangs-style designs, present challenges in capturing complete screenshots due to their unique profiles, leading to incomplete or distorted images that degrade user experience.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a special-shaped screen featuring a special-shaped region and a regular-shaped region, where a circuit captures a first screenshot and a second inverted screenshot, and synthesizes them to create a complete screenshot by stitching or superimposing the images, addressing the incomplete regions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a screenshot is taken directly on a special-shaped screen, then the screenshot process is simple, but the screenshot is incomplete or distorted due to the screen's profiled structure
Solution Approach 1:
The screen is divided into a special-shaped region and a regular-shaped region. The screenshot process is segmented into multiple steps: capturing the special-shaped region first, then capturing the regular-shaped region, and finally stitching them together. This segmentation allows each region to be handled according to its specific characteristics, ensuring complete screenshot capture while maintaining operational simplicity.
2Shape
If the screen uses a special-shaped design, then the device becomes more individualized and aesthetically pleasing, but the screenshot captures incomplete content due to non-display regions
Solution Approach 1:
The solution extends the screenshot process from a single-dimensional capture to a multi-dimensional approach by utilizing both the special-shaped region and the regular-shaped region. The system captures content in different screen states (first screen status and second screen status), processes them separately, and then synthesizes them to recover information that would otherwise be lost in non-display regions.
3Manufacturing precision
If a complete screenshot is achieved through multiple capture and synthesis steps, then screenshot completeness is improved, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs the multi-step screenshot process without requiring user intervention. The circuit independently executes the first screenshot capture, the second screenshot capture in inverted screen status, the synthesis of both screenshots, and the restoration of the screen to its original status. This self-service approach maintains screenshot completeness while hiding the operational complexity from the user.

AI summary
A method for screenshot and related products are provided, which are applicable to an electronic device. The method for screenshot includes the following. A preset interface is displayed in a special-shaped region and a regular-shaped region of a special-shaped screen, and a first screenshot of the preset interface in a first screen status is obtained. A second screenshot is obtained by inversing the preset interface and performing a screenshot on the preset interface inversed. A synthesized screenshot is obtained by synthesizing the first screenshot and the second screenshot, where the synthesized screenshot is a complete screenshot.
