Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video call technologies in portable terminals often struggle to efficiently manage and display multiple image streams from different cameras, leading to suboptimal user experience due to limited channel efficiency and user control over image data.
Innovation Solution
The solution involves an apparatus and method for providing video calls in portable terminals, which combine multiple image data streams based on predetermined setting information, allowing for efficient transmission and display on a single screen, and enabling user control over image data through authority messages and change requests.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple image data streams are transmitted separately, then the completeness of image information is improved, but the channel efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple image data streams (from front camera, rear camera, depth sensor, etc.) into a single composite image data stream for transmission. The controller synthesizes these multiple sources into one unified data structure that contains all necessary image information, thereby maintaining completeness while improving channel efficiency by reducing the number of separate transmission channels required.
2Reliability
If multiple image data streams are transmitted, then the quality of video call is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controller performs preliminary synthesis and organization of multiple image data streams before transmission. By pre-processing the data and creating a unified composite structure in advance, the system reduces the complexity of real-time management during the video call. The predetermined setting information establishes the synthesis rules beforehand, simplifying the operational complexity.
3Loss of information
If multiple image data streams are displayed separately, then the detail information is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The composite image data structure is segmented into distinct components (front camera image, rear camera image, depth map, etc.) that can be independently controlled. The controller provides separate control mechanisms for each image source within the unified transmission framework, allowing users to adjust individual streams while maintaining the integrated structure, thus preserving detail information while improving ease of operation.
