Solution Overview

Problem

Current photographing device stabilizers require specific APPs to achieve target tracking, making their operation complicated and dependent on additional software.

Innovation Solution

A photographing device stabilizer comprising a clamping component, an object tracking component, and a control component, where the object tracking component is fixedly connected to the photographing device, and a network connection allows it to send tracking movement instructions to the control component for position adjustment, enabling target tracking without relying on specific APPs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If specific APPs are used to achieve target tracking, then tracking function is realized, but operational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetarget tracking functionVSAvoidoperational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the target tracking function directly into the stabilizer hardware by integrating an object tracking component (such as a camera or sensor) and a control component within the stabilizer structure. This allows the stabilizer to independently perform target tracking without requiring external APPs, thereby reducing operational complexity while maintaining tracking functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The stabilizer is designed to be self-sufficient in performing target tracking by incorporating its own object tracking component and control system. The object tracking component acquires detection information, and the control component automatically adjusts the photographing device's orientation based on this information, enabling the stabilizer to serve itself without external software intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If specific APPs are required for target tracking, then tracking capability is achieved, but device dependency increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetarget tracking capabilityVSAvoidsoftware dependency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the object tracking component, control component, and photographing device into an integrated stabilizer system. The object tracking component is fixedly connected to the photographing device through the clamping component, and the control component is network-connected to coordinate movements, creating a self-contained tracking system that eliminates dependency on external APPs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The stabilizer is designed with multi-functionality by incorporating both stabilization capabilities and independent target tracking capabilities. The object tracking component can detect target positions and the control component can adjust the photographing device accordingly, making the stabilizer a universal device that performs both stabilization and tracking without requiring separate software applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A photographing device stabilizer includes, a clamping member, an object tracking member, and a control member. The object tracking member is fixedly connected to a photographing device by the clamping member; a distance between the object tracking member and a camera of the photographing device is less than or equal to a preset distance threshold, and is consistent with the orientation of the camera; the object tracking member is used for obtaining detection information of an oriented position, and sending a tracking movement instruction to the control member according to position information by means of the network connection when position information of a target object is obtained according to the detection information; the control member is used for performing position adjustment control according to the position information when the tracking movement instruction is received, so that the camera of the photographing device is oriented towards the target object.
