Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems fail to effectively enhance display effects such as depth perception and subject emphasis for multimedia content displayed on end-user devices, lacking the ability to selectively modify display properties to improve user engagement.

Innovation Solution

A multimedia communication system and method that analyzes auxiliary display content to detect objects and backgrounds, applying special effects like overlay borders, zooming, or blurring to emphasize the main subject, thereby enhancing display effects and user interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If no special effects are applied to auxiliary display content, then the display properties remain simple and processing is fast, but depth perception and subject emphasis are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedepth perceptionVSAvoiddisplay property modification complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of auxiliary display content to detect objects and backgrounds before applying special effects. This allows the processor to pre-determine which display properties need modification, enabling efficient rendering without real-time complexity during display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different display properties to different portions of the auxiliary display content based on detected objects and backgrounds. Specifically, object images receive properties that make them pop out (such as enhanced brightness, contrast, or border effects), while background images receive different properties, creating localized quality enhancement where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of operation

If display properties are modified to emphasize main subjects, then user engagement improves, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interactionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies special effects selectively only to detected object images rather than processing the entire auxiliary display content uniformly. This partial action approach focuses computational resources on enhancing user interaction elements while minimizing unnecessary processing of background areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If the system analyzes and modifies display properties for all auxiliary content, then display effects are enhanced, but system resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay effect enhancementVSAvoidsystem energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system enhances display effects locally only where needed by detecting and differentiating between object images and background images. This selective enhancement applies computational energy only to regions requiring emphasis, rather than uniformly processing the entire auxiliary display content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A multimedia communication system and computer-implemented method for transmitting auxiliary display content to an end-user communication device to be rendered on a display device with a special effect to emphasize an image included in the auxiliary display content, comprising analyzing image data included in an auxiliary display content to detect an object image or a background image, determining a special effect based on the analysis of the image data, applying the special effect to the auxiliary display content to modify display properties for the auxiliary display content such that the object image is emphasized or pops out, and sending the auxiliary display content with modified display properties to the end-user communication device. The special effect can comprise a non-customization special effect, a simple foreground special effect or a selective foreground special effect.
