Display Apparatus Partial Image Segmentation Grid
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for displaying a large number of digital images quickly and efficiently are hindered by the limited visibility of images when scrolled or switched one by one, and the difficulty in distinguishing between thumbnail images due to reduced data and composition differences.
Innovation Solution
A displaying apparatus that rapidly updates and displays multiple images by cutting them into partial images, generating composite images, and adjusting display speed and brightness, while also considering the presence of main objects and frequency components to enhance visibility and recognition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If images are scrolled or switched one by one, then visibility of each image is maintained, but the number of images that can be displayed at once is limited and it takes long time to display large number of images
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides each full image into multiple partial images (e.g., left half, right half, top half, bottom half) and displays these segmented portions simultaneously in a grid arrangement. This allows the system to present multiple image fragments at once, effectively increasing the quantity of image content visible to the user while maintaining acceptable visibility of individual images through their segmented representations.
2Quantity of substance
If thumb-nail images are generated by reducing image data, then more images can be displayed, but the characteristic parts are reduced and it becomes difficult to distinguish between different compositions
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of creating reduced-resolution thumbnail images, the patent segments each full-resolution image into partial images and displays them in a grid. This maintains the original image quality and characteristic details while allowing multiple images to be displayed simultaneously, solving the problem of distinguishability between different compositions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from displaying images in a single dimension (one by one or as reduced thumbnails) to a multi-dimensional grid arrangement where multiple partial images are displayed simultaneously across horizontal and vertical dimensions. This dimensional expansion allows numerous images to be presented while preserving their full resolution and distinctive characteristics.
3Productivity
If the number of partial images in composite image is increased to display more images quickly, then display speed improves, but the size of partial images must be reduced which affects visibility
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically adjusts the number of partial images displayed simultaneously based on the available display area and image resolution. The system can vary the grid configuration (e.g., 2x2, 4x1, or other arrangements) to optimize both the number of visible images and their individual visibility, allowing flexible adaptation between display speed and quality requirements.

AI summary
It is an object to provide a displaying apparatus for displaying a plurality of images quickly in a short time while guaranteeing high visibility. A displaying apparatus for sequentially updating and displaying a plurality of images includes: an image getting unit for getting a plurality of images which should be displayed in case of getting an instruction of updating and displaying the plurality of images at high speed; a cutting unit for cutting out a partial region of each of the plurality of image gotten by the image getting unit as a partial image; an image compositing unit for generating a first composite image by arranging a plurality of partial images of the number which can be displayed at one time out of the plurality of partial images cut out by the cutting unit and compositing the plurality of partial images and generating a second composite image by deleting one partial image of the plurality of partial images included in the first composite image and adding a second partial image which is not included in the first composite image; and a displaying unit for sequentially updating the composite image at a designated update speed to display the composite image.
