Video Call Composite Photo Capture for Synchronized Poses
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video call image capture functions fail to provide users with images that are prepared and formatted to their liking, often capturing unintended poses due to communication delays and lack of customization options.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for capturing composite images during a video call by initiating a multi-party photo capturing mode, allowing users to select themes and poses, and synchronizing image capture across terminals to ensure aligned poses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If image capture is performed during video call without preparation mode, then capture speed is improved, but image quality and user satisfaction deteriorate due to unprepared poses and lack of formatting options
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a preparation mode that activates before actual image capture, displaying a countdown timer and notification to alert users to prepare their poses. This preliminary action ensures users are ready for optimal positioning when the capture button is pressed, resolving the contradiction between fast capture and high image quality by preparing users in advance without significantly delaying the actual capture moment.
2Device complexity
If existing image capture function is used, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability deteriorates due to lack of photo themes and formatting options
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple photo formatting options including various photo themes, filters, and customization features directly into the existing video call interface. Users can select different themes and formats without switching applications or adding separate devices, thereby maintaining system simplicity while significantly enhancing adaptability and versatility in photo capture.
3Manufacturing precision
If multi-party photo capturing mode is implemented, then image quality and user satisfaction are improved through synchronized capture and composite images, but device complexity increases due to additional coordination mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the photo capture functionality with the existing video call interface by integrating the preparation mode, countdown timer, and composite image generation directly into the video call application. This consolidation eliminates the need for separate coordination systems or external devices, achieving synchronized multi-party capture while minimizing additional complexity through unified interface design.

AI summary
A method for capturing an image during a video call includes initiating the video call between the first user terminal and a second user terminal, the first user terminal being associated with a first user, the second user terminal being associated with a second user, and the first user and the second user being included in a chat room of an instant messaging application, entering a multi-party photo capturing mode during the video call, displaying a capture notification on a display of the first user terminal for a first time period, and displaying, on the display, a composite image in which a first image and a second image are combined, the first image including the first user, and the second image including the second user.
