Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Consumers face a time-consuming process when manually searching for and composing personalized digital image products that meet specific artistic criteria, such as image attributes like number of persons, facial expressions, and background, which often results in unsatisfactory aesthetic outcomes.
Innovation Solution
A system that uses a camera and computer processing to automatically detect and display individuals, evaluate image attributes in real-time, and arrange images within templates based on programmed artistic designs, allowing for the selection of the best images to create a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing digital image product.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users manually search through many images and compose artistic creations, then users can select and arrange images according to their preferences, but the process is time-consuming and users may not achieve satisfactory aesthetic outcomes
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by allowing the computer to automatically evaluate images against artistic criteria and compose the final product without requiring manual user intervention in the evaluation and arrangement process
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of users visually evaluating and arranging images with an automated computer-based system that uses algorithms to evaluate image attributes and compose artistic creations according to specified criteria
2Productivity
If the system automatically evaluates multiple image attributes in parallel, then the productivity and speed of image selection improve, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the image evaluation process into distinct attribute evaluations (color, composition, subject matter, etc.) that can be processed in parallel, allowing each attribute to be evaluated independently and simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The computer system is designed with multi-functionality to perform various image attribute evaluations and artistic criterion assessments through integrated software algorithms, eliminating the need for separate specialized devices for each evaluation type
3Reliability
If the system integrates multiple algorithms for evaluating image attributes and coordinating template contents, then the quality and coherence of the final product improve, but the complexity of the system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple evaluation algorithms and coordination functions into a single integrated computer system that processes image attributes, evaluates artistic criteria, and coordinates template contents through unified software control
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where evaluation results from multiple algorithms are used to iteratively refine the selection and arrangement of images, ensuring coherence and quality in the final artistic creation

AI summary
A system for generating and altering an image display using live camera input. A camera coupled to the display and to a controlling computer system detects a person observing the display and displays the person observing. The computer system controls the display and includes a processing system capable of modifying the captured digital image to illustrate the person using a product. The system can be disposed in a storefront window for viewing by persons in a public space and the camera is disposed to capture an image of the person in the public space.
