Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image display devices fail to effectively reduce the risk of users missing newly acquired images during screen transitions, as these images are not displayed before the transition and thus not highlighted on the screen.

Innovation Solution

An image display device and method that includes processor-executed acquisition, first display, and third display processing, where the second display processing involves presenting a first image on a screen, moving it within the screen while changing its form, and placing it in a predetermined region, ensuring the image is prominently displayed during screen transitions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a newly acquired image is not displayed on the screen before transition, then the screen transition can be executed smoothly, but the user cannot detect the placement position of the newly acquired image after transition

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage detection reliabilityVSAvoidimage placement information
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by displaying the newly acquired image on the screen before the transition occurs. The image is shown in a preliminary state (first display processing) and then animated during transition (second display processing), ensuring the user can track its placement position in the final displayed state (third display processing) without information loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If an animated presentation is implemented during screen transition, then the user can easily detect the newly acquired image, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage detection easeVSAvoiddisplay processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by implementing animated presentment during the second display processing. The image moves and transforms dynamically during the screen transition, making it easy for users to detect and track the newly acquired image's placement position without requiring overly complex static display mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Provided are an image display device, an image display method, a program, and a storage medium capable of detecting a placement position of a newly acquired image in a case of transition of a display screen. An image display device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a processor. The processor is configured to execute: acquisition processing of acquiring a first image; first display processing of displaying a first screen; second display processing of displaying a second screen; and third display processing of displaying a third screen in which an image group including the first image is placed, the second display processing is executed between the first display processing and the third display processing, and the second display processing includes first presentment, in which a second image different from the first image in the image group is placed, on the second screen, second presentment, in which the first image is moved within the second screen while a display form of the first image is changed, after the first presentment, and third presentment, in which the first image is placed in a predetermined region, after the second presentment.
