Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image processing techniques, such as those disclosed in JP2007-36737A, are inadequate for enhancing the performance effect when displaying multiple images, particularly in social networking scenarios, as they focus on the creator's understanding rather than the viewer's experience and do not effectively change the number of images displayed on screen.

Innovation Solution

An image processing apparatus and method that selects candidate images based on acquisition conditions and features, setting display methods including changing the number of images on screen, display positions, angles, and times, and combining images with frame regions to enhance viewer engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If a slide show displays multiple images to enable the possessor to understand the whole aspect of images, then the comprehensiveness of image overview is improved, but the performance effect for viewer engagement is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of display imagesVSAvoidperformance effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the number of displayed images variable rather than fixed. The display system dynamically adjusts the number of images shown based on acquisition conditions (imaging date, time, interval, event, mode, device type, or person), transforming the static slide show into an adaptive system that optimizes viewer engagement while maintaining comprehensive overview capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Loss of information

If the slide show focuses on the creator's understanding of images, then the comprehensiveness of image overview is improved, but the viewer engagement and browsing appeal are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage overview completenessVSAvoidviewer browsing experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the display parameters (number of images, display positions, display angles, display times) based on acquisition condition parameters. This transforms the display from a creator-centric fixed overview to a viewer-centric adaptive presentation that maintains information completeness while enhancing browsing experience through dynamic parameter adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Quantity of substance

If the display shows multiple images simultaneously, then the comprehensive overview is improved, but the display effectiveness and performance effect are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of images displayedVSAvoiddisplay effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different display characteristics to different images based on their acquisition conditions. Instead of uniform display treatment, the system applies localized display parameters (position, angle, time) to each image according to its specific acquisition context, enhancing overall display effectiveness while maintaining comprehensive coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
