Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing portable devices with integrated cameras face challenges in optimizing their field of view for both individual portraits and group landscapes, leading to suboptimal image capture during videoconferencing, and there is a need for seamless and secure connections between devices for audio and video streaming.
Innovation Solution
A method for automatically establishing secure connections between electronic devices based on device state criteria, using positional sensors to determine orientation and proximity, and switching to enhanced advertising protocols for faster connections when criteria are met, allowing high-quality image capture devices to stream data securely.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If a camera is optimized for wide-angle photography, then the field of view is improved for group landscapes, but the distortion increases when subjects are at short distances for individual portraits
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by enabling the camera to switch between different optical configurations based on the capture scenario. The system dynamically adjusts the camera's field of view and optical parameters to adapt between wide-angle mode for group shots and portrait-optimized mode for individual shots, resolving the contradiction between fixed field of view and variable image quality requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes optical parameters such as focal length and field of view angle based on the detected usage scenario. By modifying these parameters dynamically, the system can optimize image quality for both group landscapes and individual portraits, eliminating the need to choose a single fixed optical configuration
2Manufacturing precision
If a camera is optimized for portrait and video conference streaming, then the field of view is improved for individual portraits, but the field of view is limited for group landscapes
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the camera's field of view based on the detected scenario, switching between portrait-optimized and landscape-optimized modes. This dynamic adaptation allows the camera to provide both close-up quality for portraits and wide-angle coverage for group landscapes
Solution Approach 2:
The camera system is designed to perform multiple functions by switching between different optical configurations. A single camera can serve both as a portrait camera and a wide-angle camera, eliminating the need for separate dedicated cameras for different purposes
3Speed
If devices establish secure connections automatically based on device state criteria, then the connection speed is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing device state criteria and security contexts before actual connections are needed. Devices continuously monitor and report their states, and security contexts are pre-configured, so when connection is needed, the system can quickly match criteria and establish connections without complex real-time authentication
Solution Approach 2:
The connection establishment mechanism operates autonomously by automatically detecting device states, evaluating criteria, and initiating secure connections without requiring manual user intervention. The system self-manages the complex tasks of state monitoring, criteria evaluation, and secure connection setup

AI summary
Devices, methods, and non-transitory program storage devices are disclosed to enable the automatic establishment of a secure audio/video data streaming connection between electronic devices. For example, a first electronic device may enter into a first state of a peer device advertising protocol, and then, based on a determination that the first electronic device meets a first set of device state criteria (e.g., including at least an orientation state criterion), the first electronic device may enter into a second (e.g., enhanced) state of the peer device advertising protocol. In response to detecting a presence of a second electronic device in its proximity, the first electronic device may connect to the second electronic device via a secure peer-to-peer connection protocol and then send one or more images captured by a first image capture device of the first electronic device to the connected second electronic device via the secure wireless peer-to-peer connection protocol.
