Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The process of starting a camera on an electronic device is cumbersome and time-consuming due to the need for multiple user inputs.
Innovation Solution
A method and electronic device that allows a camera to be started by a single input on a designated region of the display screen, eliminating the need for multiple inputs.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the conventional method of starting the camera through multiple inputs (finding and selecting camera icon on desktop) is used, then the camera can be started reliably, but the user operations become cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into multiple regions, with each region corresponding to a specific camera. By tapping on the region corresponding to the desired camera, the user can directly start that camera without navigating through the desktop and finding the camera icon. This spatial segmentation of camera access pathways dramatically reduces the number of operations required.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-establishes the correspondence between display screen regions and cameras before the user needs to access them. The regions are pre-configured and mapped to specific cameras, so when the user needs to start a camera, the pathway is already prepared and immediately accessible, eliminating the need to search for or navigate to the camera application.
2Ease of operation
If multiple input steps are required to start the camera, then system control and reliability are maintained, but the operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The functionality of camera selection and camera startup is merged into a single interaction. Instead of requiring separate steps to select the camera application and then start the camera, the region-tapping operation simultaneously performs both functions. The system merges the navigation pathway and the activation action into one unified gesture.
Solution Approach 2:
The camera startup functionality is extracted from the general application launching mechanism. Rather than requiring users to follow the standard procedure of finding and opening the camera application, the system provides a dedicated, extracted pathway specifically for camera access, simplifying the operation for this specific function.
