Automated Double-Page Spread Creation for Album Layouts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing album editing technologies cannot automatically create and add double-page spreads to multiple albums without manually determining a criterion, limiting the efficiency of album editing processes.
Innovation Solution
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with a program that functions as an editing unit to automatically generate double-page spreads based on attributes common to all albums and individual attributes, allowing for their seamless addition to multiple albums.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual determination of criteria is used for creating double-page spreads, then customization and control over album layouts are improved, but editing efficiency and productivity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service automation by automatically creating double-page spreads using extracted criteria from existing albums. The editing unit autonomously analyzes album attributes, determines creation criteria, and generates new double-page spreads without requiring manual intervention, thus resolving the contradiction between operational control and editing efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters by dynamically determining double-page spread creation criteria based on album attributes such as common and individual double-page spread counts. This parameter-based approach allows automated adaptation to different album types while maintaining layout control, improving productivity without sacrificing customization
2Productivity
If automated creation of double-page spreads is implemented without criterion determination, then productivity is improved, but manufacturing precision and layout consistency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by automatically determining creation criteria based on analysis of existing album attributes and double-page spread characteristics. This feedback loop ensures that automated generation maintains consistency with established layout patterns, resolving the contradiction between productivity improvement and layout precision
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-determining creation criteria for double-page spreads before actual generation. This advance preparation ensures that automated creation follows consistent rules derived from existing albums, maintaining manufacturing precision while enabling high-speed automated production
3Productivity
If automated criterion determination is implemented, then productivity is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The editing unit performs multiple functions - it edits existing albums, analyzes album attributes, determines creation criteria, and generates new double-page spreads. This multi-functionality consolidates complexity into a single versatile component, improving productivity without proportionally increasing overall system complexity

AI summary
An object of the present disclosure is to, in a case of adding a double-page spread in editing of a plurality of albums, determine a criterion for creating the double-page spread to be added to automatically create and add the double-page spread. A program is provided which causes a computer to function as an editing unit configured to edit layouts of a plurality of albums each having an attribute of a common double-page spread common to all of the albums and an attribute of an individual double-page spread in each of the albums as double-page spread attributes. The editing unit automatically creates a double-page spread based on one or more criteria corresponding to the attributes, and adds the created double-page spread to one album among the plurality of album.
