Video Call Preview Interface for Privacy Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video call services face challenges in preventing privacy intrusion and minimizing user-device interaction, particularly when immediate image sharing occurs without preview screen configuration.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a processor, memory, and transceiver that provides a user interface screen for video calls, including options to control image transmission and display settings, thereby preventing immediate image sharing and reducing user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If the video call application immediately shares the obtained image with the counterpart device, then the video call service can start quickly, but privacy intrusion occurs and user control is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by providing a preview screen that displays the captured image before it is transmitted to the counterpart device. This allows the user to review the image content and make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the video call, thereby preventing privacy intrusion while still enabling quick video call initiation after user confirmation.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a preview screen is displayed to prevent immediate image sharing, then privacy protection is improved, but user-device interaction increases causing inconvenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by providing default configuration options and automatic handling of the preview screen display. The system can automatically determine whether to show the preview screen based on pre-configured settings, reducing the need for users to manually configure each time while still maintaining privacy protection through the preview mechanism.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the preview screen configuration is required every time, then privacy control is improved, but device complexity and user burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by implementing a configurable system that can operate in multiple modes. The preview screen display can be controlled through pre-configured settings that apply universally across different video call scenarios, eliminating the need for repeated manual configuration while maintaining privacy control. The system adapts to different user preferences and scenarios through this multi-functional configuration approach.

AI summary
An electronic device capable of providing a video call service and a control method for same. The electronic device comprises a memory, a transceiver, and a processor electrically connectable to the memory and transceiver. The processor: provides a user interface in association with a video call application on a display, the user interface including a first video received from a camera, a second video received from the transceiver, and an option enabled to trigger transmission of second system information; and, based on detection of a preset triggering condition, switches the user interface which is a first user interface to a second user interface that excludes the option enabling trigger transmission. The first system information and the second system information are determined on the basis of configuration information associated with a preview representation of the video call application.
