Composite Page Image Generation Without Overlapping Captures
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for capturing and sharing images of pages that exceed a single screen require multiple image files, leading to cumbersome management and transmission difficulties.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for generating a single image file by combining multiple capture images, including screen captures and scroll captures, while avoiding overlaps and managing canvas size to optimize the image file.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple screen captures are performed to capture the entire page content, then the complete content can be captured, but multiple image files are generated making management and transmission cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple captured image segments into a single composite image file. The controller captures multiple images of different page areas and merges them into one unified image file that contains the complete page content, eliminating the need to manage multiple separate image files.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the page capture process into multiple segments corresponding to different screen areas. Each capture operation captures a specific segment of the page, and these segments are then systematically assembled into a complete image, allowing efficient capture of large content while maintaining organized structure.
2Loss of information
If multiple image files are generated for different page areas, then the entire page can be captured, but selecting and transmitting each image file becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple page area captures into a single image file that can be selected and transmitted as one unit. This eliminates the need for users to manually select multiple separate image files, simplifying the transmission process while preserving complete page content.
3Loss of information
If screen capture is performed repeatedly for different areas, then complete coverage is achieved, but overlapping areas create redundancy and user discomfort
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the page into distinct capture areas that are systematically assembled without overlap. Each captured image corresponds to a specific non-overlapping region of the page, ensuring complete coverage while eliminating redundant content in the final composite image.

AI summary
A method of generating an image file includes providing an electronic page through an electronic device; acquiring a plurality of images including at least a portion of the electronic page based on a user's input; and generating an image file including at least a first image and a second image of the plurality of images.
