Solution Overview

Problem

Users often encounter suboptimal capturing effects in photographs, leading to the need for re-capturing or retouching, which complicates the capturing experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that utilize a target posture template and capturing prompt information to guide subjects into optimal capturing postures, including angle and distance guidance, with optional flash adjustments, to improve image quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If users capture pictures without guidance, then the capturing process is simple, but the capturing effect is suboptimal requiring re-capturing or retouching

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapturing effect qualityVSAvoidcapturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by displaying posture templates and capturing prompt information (angle and distance guidance) before the actual capturing occurs. This allows users to properly position themselves and the subject before taking the photo, ensuring optimal capturing effect from the first attempt without requiring subsequent retouching or re-capturing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary elements (posture templates and prompt information) that mediate between the user and the capturing process. These visual guides serve as intermediaries to communicate proper positioning and composition requirements, improving capturing quality without significantly increasing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If users spend energy to re-capture or retouch pictures, then capturing effect can be improved, but time and energy are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapturing effect qualityVSAvoidtime for re-capturing and retouching
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By providing posture templates and capturing prompts before the actual photo is taken, the system enables users to get the composition and positioning right from the start. This preliminary guidance prevents the need for time-consuming re-capturing sessions and reduces or eliminates the need for post-capture retouching work.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The capturing prompt information provides real-time feedback to users about their positioning and composition relative to the desired outcome. This immediate feedback allows users to adjust their posture and subject positioning during the preview phase, ensuring optimal results before the shutter is pressed, thereby eliminating the need for repeated attempts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If capturing guidance with posture template is displayed, then capturing effectiveness is enhanced, but the interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapturing effectivenessVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The guidance system is segmented into distinct functional components: posture templates that show ideal positioning, and separate capturing prompt information that provides angle and distance guidance. This segmentation allows each element to serve its specific purpose clearly, enhancing capturing effectiveness while keeping the interface organized and manageable rather than overwhelming.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Embodiments of this disclosure provide a method, electronic device, and storage medium for capturing. The method includes: in response to a triggering operation of capturing guidance with a target posture template, displaying the target posture template over a preview image displayed in a capturing page, and displaying capturing prompt information in the capturing page, wherein the target posture template is used to guide a subject to present a corresponding capturing posture, and the capturing prompt information comprises at least one of capturing angle prompt information or capturing distance prompt information; and in response to a capturing instruction, controlling a camera to capture the subject.
