Display Controller Keyword-Image Correlation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display controllers for mobile devices do not effectively utilize image information correlated with character information, leading to missed opportunities for displaying relevant images, as users often forget or cannot retrieve images captured during specific events.
Innovation Solution
A display controller that detects keywords from character information and automatically displays thumbnail images of related image information, enhancing the correlation between character and image data by adding additional information to image files and using a keyword database to retrieve and display relevant thumbnails.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If image information is managed separately from character information, then information storage is organized by type, but retrieval of relevant images becomes difficult and users may forget captured events
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges character information and image information by establishing keyword associations between them. When character information is displayed, the system automatically retrieves and displays related thumbnail images based on keyword matching, combining previously separate information types into an integrated display system that prevents information loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces keyword information as an intermediary that bridges character information and image information. Keywords extracted from character information serve as mediators to automatically retrieve corresponding images, eliminating the need for users to manually search through stored images and preventing forgotten events from being lost.
2Loss of information
If thumbnail images are automatically displayed with character information, then image retrieval effectiveness improves, but system complexity increases due to keyword detection and image matching functions
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting keywords from character information and autonomously retrieving and displaying corresponding thumbnail images without requiring complex manual intervention or sophisticated image recognition algorithms. The automatic keyword matching provides a relatively simple self-service mechanism that improves retrieval effectiveness while controlling complexity.
3Device complexity
If manual retrieval of images is required, then system complexity remains low, but users may miss forgotten or unretrievable image opportunities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing keyword associations between character information and image information during the information storage phase. When character information is later displayed, the system can immediately retrieve corresponding images through pre-configured keyword matching, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual search and preventing lost opportunities for displaying forgotten images.

AI summary
A display controller includes a character display unit for displaying character information on a display unit; a keyword detecting unit for detecting a predetermined keyword from the character information displayed by the character display unit; an image information detecting unit for detecting image information including additional information corresponding to the keyword detected by the keyword detecting unit, from image information including predetermined additional information and stored in a storing unit; and a thumbnail image displaying unit for displaying on the display unit a thumbnail image(s) of the image information detected by the image information detecting unit.
