Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If camera positions and angles are fixed, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different multimedia scenarios deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic control of camera space states by allowing cameras to adjust their positions and angles automatically based on different multimedia scenarios. The control apparatus receives instructions or cockpit information and generates control signaling to dynamically adjust camera parameters, transforming fixed camera systems into adaptive, scenario-responsive systems that can pivot, zoom, and reposition as needed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If camera space states are fixed, then ease of operation is improved, but adaptability to user requirements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service operation by automatically adjusting camera space states based on received instructions or cockpit information without requiring manual intervention. The control apparatus autonomously processes scenario requirements and generates appropriate control signaling, allowing the system to serve itself in adapting to different multimedia needs while maintaining operational simplicity for users.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple cameras are used, then adaptability to different scenarios is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a single control apparatus that can manage multiple cameras across different scenarios. The control system is designed to handle various camera configurations and functions through a unified control interface, allowing one apparatus to serve multiple purposes and control multiple devices, thereby reducing overall system complexity despite the presence of multiple cameras.

AI summary
A control method and apparatus are provided. The method is used to control an image shooting apparatus. The image shooting apparatus includes one camera or at least two cameras. The method includes: obtaining an instruction and/or cockpit information; generating control signaling according to the instruction and/or the obtained cockpit information; and when the image shooting apparatus includes one camera, controlling a space state of the camera of the image shooting apparatus by using the control signaling, or when the image shooting apparatus includes at least two cameras, controlling space states of some or all of the cameras by using the control signaling, so that at least one camera of the image shooting apparatus is flexibly controlled, and flexible changes of the space states of the cameras can meet requirements of a user for different multimedia scenarios. This improves user experience.
