Wearable Viewfinder for Mobile Camera Framing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When using a mobile phone to capture images, especially at low angles or close distances to the ground, users often cannot view the screen, leading to poor image quality due to the shooting angle or position, making it difficult to frame shots effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize a terminal and a wearable device, such as smart glasses, to establish a data connection and display image data captured by the terminal's image-capturing component when the spatial position and attitude information meet preset conditions that are disadvantageous for viewing the terminal's screen, allowing the wearable device to display the image data synchronously.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the user captures images at low angles or close distances to the ground, then the user can capture images in difficult-to-reach positions, but the user cannot view the terminal screen to adjust framing, resulting in poor image quality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a wearable device as an intermediary to display the viewfinder image when the terminal screen cannot be viewed. The wearable device receives image data from the terminal and presents it to the user, enabling framing adjustment in positions where the terminal screen is inaccessible.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions the display interface from the terminal screen to a wearable device, effectively moving the viewing interface to a different spatial dimension and location. This allows users to view and adjust framing from positions where the terminal screen would be obscured or inaccessible.
2Reliability
If the user relies on blind shot due to inability to view screen, then the user can maintain shooting position, but the image quality deteriorates due to inability to frame properly
Solution Approach 1:
The wearable device serves as an intermediary display that provides real-time viewfinder feedback to the user, enabling precise framing while maintaining the desired shooting position. The user can see the framing through the wearable device and adjust the terminal position accordingly.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides real-time visual feedback through the wearable device, showing the user how the image is framed from the current shooting position. This feedback loop enables the user to make precise adjustments to achieve the desired composition while maintaining the shooting position.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the user lies on the ground for shooting, then the user can achieve low-angle shots, but the terminal screen becomes invisible and framing cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The wearable device acts as an intermediary that captures and displays the viewfinder image when the terminal screen is inaccessible. This allows users to see the framing information even when lying on the ground or in positions where the terminal screen cannot be viewed.
Solution Approach 2:
The display function is moved from the terminal screen to the wearable device, creating an alternative viewing dimension. Users can view the framing information through the wearable device regardless of the terminal's orientation or position relative to the user.
Data Source
AI summary
A method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for displaying image data are provided, which pertains to the field of computer technology. The method comprises: determining current spatial position information and attitude information of the terminal and establishing a data connection between the terminal and a wearable device when detecting that an image-capturing component of a terminal is turned on; and sending image data captured by the image-capturing component to the wearable device for displaying the image data synchronously when the current spatial position information and attitude information of the terminal meet a preset condition that is disadvantageous for viewing a screen of the terminal.
