Content Data Display Setting Embedding for Color Consistency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When users create and share layout data, such as photo albums or posters, differences in display settings between the creator's and viewer's devices can result in inconsistent color presentation, making color checks cumbersome and inaccurate.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that generates and embeds display setting information into the content data, allowing it to be displayed with the original settings used by the creator, ensuring consistent color representation across different devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If layout data is shared between different users with different display settings, then the layout data can be viewed by multiple users, but the color presentation becomes inconsistent across different devices
Solution Approach 1:
The creator's display settings are recorded and embedded into the layout data file in advance. When another user opens the file, the system automatically applies these pre-recorded settings, eliminating the need for manual adjustment and ensuring color consistency across different devices.
Solution Approach 2:
Display setting information acts as an intermediary between the creator's display environment and the viewer's display environment. This intermediary data (stored in files like DisplaySettings.json) translates the creator's specific display configuration into instructions that can be applied on different devices, bridging the gap between different display settings.
2Manufacturing precision
If users manually adjust display settings to match the creator's settings, then color consistency can be achieved, but the operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic display setting adjustment without requiring user intervention. When a user opens layout data created by someone else, the system automatically detects the embedded display setting information and applies it, making the process as easy as opening any other file while ensuring color consistency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes display parameters (such as color profile, brightness, contrast) automatically based on the embedded display setting information. Instead of requiring users to manually adjust each parameter, the system programmatically modifies these parameters to match the creator's settings, ensuring color consistency while maintaining ease of operation.
3Ease of operation
If each user maintains their own display settings, then display customization is flexible, but color accuracy when viewing others' work is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The display settings become dynamic rather than static. The system allows users to maintain their default display settings for general use, but automatically switches to the creator's settings when viewing layout data files. This dynamic adjustment ensures color accuracy for viewing others' work while preserving display customization flexibility for personal use.
Solution Approach 2:
The display setting information is applied locally to the specific layout data file being viewed, rather than permanently changing the user's overall display settings. This allows users to maintain their preferred display customization for general purposes while ensuring accurate color representation when viewing specific layout data created by others.

AI summary
A control method includes generating content data to include display setting information, wherein the content data is generated by an information processing apparatus and the display setting information being setting information about a display of the information processing apparatus, and displaying the content data based on the display setting information corresponding to the content data.
