Video Phone Image Registration via Post-Call Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video phone systems require pre-storing images in the device or editing on external devices to register them in the address book, making it difficult to easily add images during or after a call.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device with a recipient information recording portion, image recording portion, image extraction portion, and registration portion that extracts and associates images with recipient party information after a call, allowing easy registration of images in the address book using stored video from the recipient party.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If images are registered in the address book using existing video phone systems, then the address book information is complete, but it requires pre-storing images in the device or editing on external devices
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically capturing images during the video call and storing them temporarily in the image recording portion. This preliminary capture and storage eliminates the need for users to manually pre-store images or perform external editing, as the system has already prepared the images for registration in the address book.
Solution Approach 2:
The video phone system performs self-service by automatically extracting images from the recorded video data and registering them in the address book without requiring external editing devices or manual intervention. The system serves itself by handling the entire image registration process internally, from capture during the call to final registration in the address book.
2Adaptability or versatility
If video is transmitted during a call using video phone functions, then communication is enhanced, but it is difficult to register the transmitted video in the address book
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies the extraction principle by separating the image registration function from the video transmission function. The image extraction portion specifically extracts still images or key frames from the transmitted video data, taking out the necessary image information for address book registration while leaving the rest of the video data for communication purposes. This extraction makes video registration in the address book straightforward.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the video data processing into distinct functional portions: the image recording portion stores the transmitted video, the image extraction portion separates specific images from the video stream, and the registration portion handles address book registration. This segmentation allows the system to maintain versatile video phone functionality while easily registering images in the address book through dedicated processing modules.

AI summary
There is provided an information processing device including a recipient information recording portion that records recipient party information, an image recording portion that records images of the recipient party taken on the recipient party side during a call, an image extraction portion that extracts an image at a predetermined point in time from the images recorded in the image recording portion, and a registration portion that, after the call is ended, associates the image extracted by the image extraction portion with the recipient party information and registers the associated image in the recipient party information recording portion.
