Context-Aware Combination Images for Reviewing Captured Photos
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Captured images are often forgotten due to lack of motivation for reviewing them, and existing technologies do not consider the importance of looking back on past images.
Innovation Solution
A program that registers images, analyzes their context, and combines them with predetermined objects based on user activity parameters to create engaging combination images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If captured images are stored and kept as they are, then the memory of the event is preserved, but the user loses interest and forgets that the pictures were taken
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transforming static captured images into dynamic combination images that change over time. The combination images are generated by combining the captured image with other images based on elapsed time, user activities, or parameter changes, making the memory content evolve and remain engaging rather than static and forgettable
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by varying the combination images based on different parameters such as elapsed time, user activity levels, or other changing conditions. This causes the same captured image to be re-presented in different combinations, creating new interest and motivation for users to review their memories repeatedly
2Productivity
If captured images are used to grow an organism as in existing technology, then the image output function is achieved, but the capability to look back on and review captured images is not considered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by storing not only the captured images but also the parameters and contextual information associated with them in advance. This preliminary storage of metadata and related data enables both the organism growth function and the review function to operate simultaneously without conflict
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements multi-functionality by designing the image processing system to serve multiple purposes: generating organism growth images and enabling review of captured images. The combination image generation mechanism supports both functions by allowing users to review images through different combination perspectives while also maintaining the organism growth output capability

AI summary
An information processing device including processing circuitry. The information processing device, by the processing circuitry, is configured to register a designated image; receive a request for a combination image; acquire a context of the registered image by analyzing the image in response to the request; acquire parameter values related to the registered image among parameter values updated according to an activity of a user; determine an object from the acquired context and the acquired parameter values; and combine the determined object with the registered image and present a combination image to the user.
