Digital Object Attribute Interchange Method
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current software applications lack a simple and intuitive method for manipulating multiple digital objects by interchanging non-positional attributes between two or more objects, particularly failing to efficiently handle complex operations involving three or more objects.
Innovation Solution
A method that allows users to select multiple digital objects and execute a command to interchange attributes such as color, position, or shape, while retaining other attributes, enabling seamless and rapid manipulation of digital objects through swapping or rotating operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If object-by-object attribute changes are performed manually, then attribute manipulation is possible, but user time is excessively consumed and workflow is disrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual attribute manipulation operations into a single batch operation. Users can select multiple objects and apply attribute changes to all selected objects simultaneously through one command, rather than manipulating each object separately. This combining of operations directly reduces the time required and simplifies the user workflow.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal attribute manipulation tool that can handle multiple objects of different types simultaneously. The system provides a unified interface that works across various object types (text, images, shapes, etc.), allowing users to apply the same attribute changes to diverse objects through a single operation, thereby improving ease of operation and reducing time loss.
2Adaptability or versatility
If simple swapping tools are used for two objects, then position interchange is possible, but complex attribute interchange for three or more objects cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the swapping capability from simple two-object position exchange to a universal multi-object attribute interchange system. The tool can handle any number of objects (2 or more) and any type of attribute (position, color, size, etc.), providing adaptability across different scenarios while maintaining a consistent interface that does not increase operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the attribute interchange operation into independent selectable attributes. Users can choose which specific attributes to interchange (position, color, size, etc.) rather than being forced to interchange all attributes simultaneously. This segmentation allows for flexible adaptation to different needs without increasing the complexity of the overall operation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If image replacement features are used, then single object content replacement is possible, but multi-object attribute interchange within the same application cannot be performed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the limited single-object image replacement feature into a universal multi-object attribute interchange system. Instead of being restricted to replacing images in single objects, the system can interchange any attribute (including image content, position, color, etc.) across multiple objects simultaneously, all within the same application environment, without increasing system complexity.

AI summary
A method, apparatus, and system provides the ability to manipulate multiple digital objects. A plurality of digital objects with attributes are acquired. Two or more of the digital objects are selected. Attributes of the selected digital objects are selected. An interchange operation to be performed with the selected attributes of the selected digital objects is determined. The selected attributes are interchanged between the selected digital objects based on the determined interchange operation. The selected digital objects with interchanged attributes are output.
