Color Conversion Program Single-Coordinate Operation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing color conversion technologies require multiple position designations for image processing, making operations cumbersome, especially for real-time image processing, and are limited in converting live images or images displayed in a pinpoint manner.
Innovation Solution
A computer-readable storage medium with a color conversion program that uses a pointing device for coordinate input to perform color conversion on displayed images, allowing for simple operation by designating a single coordinate to set conversion conditions for hue, saturation, and brightness, enabling conversion of image elements within a predetermined range.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple positions are designated for color conversion, then the color conversion range is expanded, but the operation becomes troublesome and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary color conversion based on a single designated position, then automatically expands the conversion to additional positions. The first designated position triggers immediate color conversion, and subsequent positions are processed automatically without requiring repeated manual intervention, thus simplifying operation while maintaining expanded conversion capability
Solution Approach 2:
After the user designates the first position, the system automatically identifies and processes additional positions that should be converted. The system serves itself by automatically determining the conversion range and applying color conversion to multiple positions without requiring the user to manually designate each position, reducing operational complexity
2Ease of operation
If a single position is designated for color conversion, then the operation is simplified, but the color conversion range becomes a pinpoint and conversion is hardly performed
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different processing rules to different positions: the first designated position serves as a reference point for determining color characteristics, while subsequent positions are automatically identified and converted based on color similarity thresholds. This local differentiation allows single-position operation simplicity while achieving multi-position conversion effectiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from spatial dimension (multiple position designations) to color attribute dimension (hue, saturation, brightness ranges). By defining conversion ranges in color attribute space rather than requiring multiple spatial designations, the system achieves comprehensive color conversion while maintaining simple single-position operation
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple positions are designated for color conversion, then the conversion range is expanded, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system processes color conversion continuously across multiple positions without interruption. After the first position is designated and color characteristics are determined, the system automatically and continuously applies the same conversion parameters to additional positions within the determined range, maintaining continuous processing flow and minimizing time loss
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary determination of color conversion parameters (hue range, saturation range, brightness range) based on the first designated position before applying conversion to multiple positions. This preliminary parameter establishment avoids repeated calculation and processing for each position, reducing overall processing time while maintaining expanded conversion range

AI summary
Display control means displays, on display means, an image based on first conversion target image data in which color information is set for each of a plurality of image elements. Coordinate determination means determines a first coordinate in accordance with an instruction performed by using the pointing device. Conversion target condition setting means obtains color information of an image element, in the first conversion target image data, which corresponds to the first coordinate, and sets a first conversion target condition in accordance with the obtained color information. Color conversion means performs color conversion processing of changing color information of an image element, in the first conversion target image data, which satisfies the first conversion target condition, and displays an after-conversion image on the display means.
