Display Gradient Rendering for Seamless Content Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices experience reduced visibility and performance when applying graphic effects to background images due to unnatural boundaries between effect-applied and non-applied regions, and require pre-rendering entire images, leading to processing speed reductions.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device applies a gradient graphic effect to partial regions of a background image based on distance from a content display area, ensuring seamless transitions and improved visibility of both content and background.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a graphic effect is applied to a background image or content, then visibility of the content is improved, but a boundary section occurs between the effect-applied region and non-applied region causing visibility to decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different graphic effect intensities to different regions of the background image based on their distance from the content. Regions closer to the content receive stronger graphic effects while regions farther away receive weaker effects, creating a gradient transition that eliminates harsh boundaries and maintains both content visibility and background quality.
2Manufacturing precision
If the entire region of the image is pre-rendered and post-rendering processing is performed, then the graphic effect is applied to partial regions, but the processing speed of the electronic device is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the background image into multiple regions based on their distance from the content, and applies graphic effects selectively to specific regions rather than processing the entire image. This segmentation approach reduces the computational workload and improves processing speed while maintaining precise graphic effect application where needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies graphic effects only to the necessary partial regions of the background image that are close to the content, rather than applying effects to the entire image. This partial action approach reduces processing time and computational resources while achieving the desired visual effect and maintaining visibility.

AI summary
An electronic device comprises a display, a processor operatively connected to the display, and a memory operatively connected to the processor. The memory may store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to: detect events related to the display of content; apply a gradient graphic effect to at least a partial region of a background image on the basis of the distance from a first region in which the content is displayed; and display, through the display, the background image and the content that has had the gradient graphic effect applied thereto. Various other embodiments understood through the specification are also possible.
