Age-Based Color Adaptation in Album Creation Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for creating albums fail to customize images beyond captured images, resulting in uniformity and not accounting for the age of the individuals in the images or the viewer, leading to unsatisfactory user experience.
Innovation Solution
An album creating apparatus that identifies the age of individuals in captured images and viewers, using this information to select and apply appropriate color palettes and determine color areas for non-captured image elements, such as lower chroma saturation and lightness for older individuals and higher chroma saturation and lightness for younger ones, to enhance user satisfaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional methods are used to create albums with captured images, then the album creation process is simple and quick, but the album lacks personalization and user satisfaction is not enhanced
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes color parameters (chroma saturation and lightness) based on the age of the person in the captured image. The color selecting unit selects colors with lower chroma saturation and lower lightness when the identified age is older, thereby personalizing the album appearance without requiring complex manual intervention from the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The age identifying unit automatically identifies the age of the person in the captured image, and the color selecting unit automatically selects appropriate colors based on this age information. This self-service mechanism enables personalization without requiring users to manually input age data or select colors, thus simplifying the overall process while enhancing adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If uniform colors are used in the album, then the album creation process is simple, but the satisfaction level of viewers is not enhanced
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically adjusts color parameters based on the age of the person in the captured image. The color selecting unit selects colors with lower chroma saturation and lower lightness for older individuals, while maintaining simpler color selection processes for younger individuals, thus achieving age-based adaptation without significantly complicating the production process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses age information as feedback to automatically adjust color selections. The age identifying unit provides age data, which the color selecting unit uses to determine appropriate color palettes, creating a feedback loop that enhances personalization while maintaining ease of manufacture through automated decision-making.
3Adaptability or versatility
If color selection is based on age information, then user satisfaction is enhanced through personalization, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The age identifying unit and color selecting unit work together as a self-service system that automatically determines appropriate colors based on age information without requiring user intervention. This automated approach enhances customization capability while avoiding the complexity of manual color selection interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The color selecting unit serves multiple functions: it selects colors based on age information, determines chroma saturation levels, and decides lightness values. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate complex modules for each color parameter, thereby enhancing customization without proportionally increasing system complexity.

AI summary
An album creating apparatus which allows coloring parts other than a captured image in the album suited to a person included in the captured image and an album viewer based on an age of the person included in the captured image and an age of the album viewer. The album creating apparatus includes: an age identifying unit for identifying an age of a person included in a captured image composing the album or an age of a person viewing the album; a color selecting unit for selecting color used for parts other than the captured image in the album based on the age identified by the age identifying unit; and a coloring unit for coloring parts other than the captured image in the album using the color selected by the color selecting unit.
