Touchscreen Continuous Shooting via Shutter Duration Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing digital photography technologies require cumbersome settings for continuous shooting modes, leading to misoperations and high photo deletion costs, especially for large devices where accurate button pressing is difficult.
Innovation Solution
An image acquiring method and apparatus that allows continuous shooting by long pressing any area on a touchscreen interface, with timed notifications to confirm the operation, simplifying the setting process and reducing misoperations by determining touch durations and displaying feedback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If continuous shooting mode is selected before photographing, then continuous shooting function is enabled, but setting process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-sets multiple shooting modes (single shot, continuous shooting, burst shooting) and prepares them in advance. When the user presses the shutter button, the system automatically detects the pressing duration and triggers the corresponding pre-prepared mode, eliminating the need for manual mode selection and setup before photographing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically determines the shooting mode based on the user's shutter button pressing behavior without requiring manual intervention. The control unit monitors the pressing duration and automatically switches between shooting modes, making the system self-configuring and eliminating cumbersome setting processes.
2Productivity
If photo button is long pressed for continuous shooting, then continuous shooting starts, but misoperation is difficult to correct in time
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides visual feedback through a display unit that shows the current shooting mode and allows users to switch modes by pressing the shutter button different numbers of times. This feedback mechanism enables users to confirm and correct their intended operation before actual shooting begins, reducing misoperation errors.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the shooting mode based on the number of times the shutter button is pressed. Different press counts correspond to different modes (single shot, continuous, burst), allowing users to quickly switch between modes and correct mistakes by pressing the button again before the actual shot is taken.
3Ease of operation
If photo button is located for easy access, then continuous shooting operation is convenient, but accurate pressing becomes difficult for large devices
Solution Approach 1:
The shutter button is designed to serve multiple functions: it can be pressed once for single shot, held for continuous shooting, or pressed multiple times for burst mode. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate buttons or complex mode selections, making the single button both accessible and precise for all shooting operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the duration and frequency parameters of the shutter button press to determine the shooting mode. By monitoring these parameters, the system can distinguish between different user intentions (single shot vs. continuous vs. burst) without requiring the user to navigate through settings or press different buttons, thereby maintaining both ease of access and operational precision.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses an image acquiring method and apparatus, and a storage medium. The method includes: receiving an operation instruction of a user; determining whether first duration corresponding to the operation instruction is equal to or greater than a first preparation time; if yes, displaying a timed notification, and determining whether second duration corresponding to the operation instruction is equal to or greater than second preparation time; and if yes, periodically acquiring a corresponding image at a preset time interval. The present disclosure simplifies a setting process of a continuous shooting operation.
