Alternating Image Presentation for User Identification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in finding their own images among multiple captured images, as accessible images include those of other users.
Innovation Solution
An image presentation device that captures images of multiple users, processes these images with effects, and alternately switches between the original and processed images for presentation, making it easier for users to identify their own images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple captured images of users are presented together, then the quantity of images increases, but the ease of finding one's own image deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the presentation of images by alternately switching between processed images and uncaptured original images. This segmentation allows users to distinguish their own images from others by comparing the processed version with the original, thereby maintaining ease of identification while presenting multiple images.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary presentation method that alternates between processed and original images. This intermediary approach helps users identify their own images by providing a reference point (the original image) alongside the processed version, making the identification process easier despite the increased quantity of images.
2Reliability
If processed images are always presented, then the effect is maintained, but the ease of identifying own image deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies periodic action by alternately switching between processed images and original images in a rhythmic sequence. This periodic presentation maintains the effect of processed images while periodically providing original images as references, thereby preserving both the visual effect and the ease of identification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the image presentation into alternating segments of processed and original images. This segmentation ensures that processed images maintain their special effects while original images provide identification references, resolving the contradiction between effect maintenance and ease of identification.
3Ease of operation
If original images are always presented, then the ease of finding own image is maintained, but the effect application deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses periodic action to alternate between original and processed images. This ensures that original images are periodically presented for easy identification while processed images are also periodically shown to maintain the special effects, preventing either approach from dominating exclusively.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the presentation of original and processed images into a single alternating sequence. This combination allows users to benefit from both the ease of identification provided by original images and the effect application provided by processed images, resolving the contradiction between these two functions.
