Under-Display Camera Gesture Launch via Picture Drag
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The current process for starting an under-display camera in electronic devices is cumbersome, requiring users to navigate to the home screen, find the camera icon, and tap it, especially in devices with multiple home screens and many application icons.
Innovation Solution
A picture shooting method that allows the under-display camera to be started by moving a first picture to a specific region on the screen corresponding to the camera's position, eliminating the need for complex navigation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the traditional method of navigating to home screen and finding camera icon is used, then the under-display camera can be started, but the operation process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-arranges the camera launching mechanism by placing a detection module that monitors the gallery interface. When a picture is dragged to the specific screen region corresponding to the under-display camera position, the system is already prepared to detect this gesture and automatically launch the camera, eliminating the need for users to navigate through multiple screens to find the camera icon.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the camera icon is placed on home screen among many application icons, then the camera function is accessible, but the user interface becomes cluttered and navigation becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The invention introduces an intermediary gesture-based interaction mechanism between the gallery application and the camera function. Instead of requiring direct access to the camera icon on the home screen, the system uses a drag gesture as an intermediary action that triggers camera launch. This mediator simplifies the user interface by removing the need for separate camera icons while maintaining camera accessibility through the gesture interaction.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple home screens with many application icons are provided, then the device offers high adaptability for different functions, but the time to locate specific functions increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the camera launching function from the traditional home screen icon-based interface. Instead of requiring users to search through multiple home screens and application icons, the system extracts and relocates the camera launch capability to a gesture-based trigger within the gallery application. This extraction removes the time-consuming navigation step while preserving the device's overall functionality and adaptability.
