Solution Overview

Problem

Existing brush effect pictures in image editing tools have low definition, whether provided by the tool or customized by users.

Innovation Solution

A method to generate a brush effect picture by determining a pattern extraction area on a display interface, obtaining a first brush effect picture, and enhancing its definition to create a second brush effect picture using a neural network or converting it to a vector diagram.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a brush effect picture is provided by the image editing tool or customized by the user, then the brush effect picture can be directly added to the image, but the definition of the brush effect picture is low

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovedefinitionVSAvoidgeneration process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by capturing a screenshot of the display interface and extracting patterns from the displayed content before the actual brush effect application. This preliminary pattern extraction enables high-definition brush effect pictures to be generated without requiring complex real-time processing during image editing operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a copy of the display interface content through screenshot capture and pattern extraction. By copying the visual patterns from the display interface and converting them into brush effect pictures, the system achieves high definition while simplifying the overall process compared to direct vectorization or manual creation methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Manufacturing precision

If the brush effect picture is captured from the display interface, then the definition can be improved, but the process requires screenshot capture and pattern extraction

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovedefinitionVSAvoidprocessing steps
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically capturing screenshots and extracting patterns from the display interface content. The pattern extraction module autonomously identifies and extracts relevant patterns without requiring manual intervention, thereby improving definition while managing processing complexity through automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary process involving screenshot capture and pattern extraction as intermediate steps between the display interface and the final brush effect picture. This intermediary approach enables high-definition pattern transfer while organizing the complex processing into manageable, sequential stages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A method for generating a brush effect picture includes: determining a pattern extraction area on a display interface in response to an area selection operation on the display interface of a display; obtaining a first brush effect picture based on the pattern extraction area, where a pattern of the first brush effect picture is a pattern corresponding to the pattern extraction area on the display interface; and obtaining a second brush effect picture based on the first brush effect picture, where the pattern of the first brush effect picture is the same as a pattern of the second brush effect picture, and definition of the second brush effect picture is greater than definition of the first brush effect picture.
