Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for determining whether a click event occurs in an irregular image region within an image view are inefficient and inaccurate, often requiring complex operations and approximations to regular shapes.

Innovation Solution

A method that determines the relative position relationship of a click event in an image view by obtaining color information of the pixel at the click position and comparing it to the image region's color information, allowing accurate processing without altering the image region's shape.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If complex operations and approximations to regular shapes are used to determine click events in irregular image regions, then the determination can be performed, but the efficiency and accuracy deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclick event determination accuracyVSAvoidprocessing operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the essential characteristic (color information) of the irregular image region and uses it for click event determination. Instead of dealing with the complex irregular shape directly, the solution extracts color data from pixels within the irregular region and compares click position colors against these extracted color characteristics, thereby simplifying the determination process while maintaining accuracy for irregular shapes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter used for click determination from geometric shape parameters to color information parameters. By comparing the color of the pixel at the click position with the color information of pixels within the irregular image region, the system achieves accurate click detection without needing to perform complex geometric calculations on irregular shapes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of manufacture

If irregular image regions are approximated as regular shapes for click event processing, then the processing becomes simpler, but the accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing simplicityVSAvoidclick event determination accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a color information copy or representation of the irregular image region by extracting color data from its pixels. This color information serves as a simplified representation that retains the essential characteristics of the irregular region without requiring geometric approximation, enabling both simple processing and accurate click determination

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from using geometric parameters (shape approximation) to using color parameters for click event determination. This parameter change allows the system to maintain the original irregular shape while achieving processing simplicity through color-based comparison

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If color information comparison method is used for click event determination in irregular regions, then the accuracy improves, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclick event determination accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by extracting and storing color information from the irregular image region in advance. This pre-extracted color information is then used for rapid comparison during click event determination, avoiding the need for complex real-time calculations and reducing processing time while maintaining high accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
