Cross-Device Parameter Synchronization for Image Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional techniques for synchronizing data between devices with different processing capabilities and storage capacities, such as smartphones and personal computers, are inconvenient as they limit parameter settings for simplified image files like JPEGs, requiring access to unsimplified RAW files and complicating the assessment of undetermined parameters.
Innovation Solution
A data processing system where a first apparatus sets parameters for both smaller and larger data types, transmitting these settings to a second apparatus, which executes the processing and displays information on parameter determination, allowing users to identify and determine parameters efficiently across devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If parameter settings are limited for simplified image files (JPEG) to accommodate devices with lower processing capabilities, then ease of operation is improved, but adaptability deteriorates because users cannot set parameters related to other data processing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables a single apparatus to perform multiple functions by allowing it to both store simplified image files (JPEG) and unsimplified image files (RAW). This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by providing ease of operation through JPEG files while maintaining adaptability through RAW files, allowing users to set various parameters including image quality adjustment on devices with lower processing capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-storing unsimplified image files (RAW) in the apparatus with lower processing capabilities. This allows the device to have the capability to process and adjust parameters for both JPEG and RAW files, preparing the system in advance to handle different parameter setting needs without requiring users to switch devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users access unsimplified image files (RAW) to set parameters related to other data processing, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases and user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the storage and processing capabilities for both JPEG and RAW files into a single apparatus. By combining the functions of storing and processing both simplified and unsimplified image files in one device, the patent reduces device complexity and improves user convenience while maintaining full adaptability for parameter settings.
3Power
If users must keep previously-conceived contents of image processing memorized to set parameters on different devices, then processing capability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the apparatus to automatically handle image file processing and parameter settings. The device can autonomously process both JPEG and RAW files, adjust image quality parameters, and manage synchronization without requiring users to memorize processing contents or manually configure settings on different devices.
4Ease of operation
If only JPEG files are stored in devices with lower processing capabilities, then ease of operation is improved, but loss of information occurs because parameters related to other data processing cannot be set
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by storing different types of image files in different locations within the apparatus. Simplified JPEG files are stored for easy viewing and basic operations, while unsimplified RAW files are stored for comprehensive parameter settings and processing. This local differentiation ensures that ease of operation is maintained for common tasks while preventing loss of information for advanced processing needs.
Data Source
AI summary
A first apparatus sets a first parameter and a second parameter. A result of processing using a first parameter to first data is the same as a result of processing using the first parameter to second data. A result of processing using a second parameter to the first data is different from a result of processing using the second parameter to the second data. At the first apparatus, predetermined information is displayed. The set parameter is transmitted from the first apparatus to a second apparatus. The second apparatus executes processing using the received parameter to the second data and transmits determination information. At the first apparatus, the predetermined information is stopped displaying when the determination information is received.
