Dynamic Image Editing for Template-Based Collage Layouts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional image processing technologies for creating collages or albums are limited by permanently set editing instructions in templates, making it difficult to appropriately edit images.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that acquires and edits images based on the category of a template, allowing for dynamic editing processing and arrangement on the template, using an acquisition unit, editing unit, and arranging unit to perform image processing corresponding to the template's theme.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If editing instructions are permanently set in the template, then the template structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the adaptability to different image editing needs is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the editing instructions dynamic by allowing them to be changed according to the template category rather than being permanently fixed. The editing unit can dynamically adjust editing parameters based on the selected template category, enabling the same template structure to adapt to different editing needs through configurable instructions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters of editing instructions based on template categories. Different template categories have different editing parameter settings, allowing the system to adapt the editing behavior to match the intended use of each template type without changing the underlying template structure.
2Device complexity
If editing instructions are permanently set in the template, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ability to appropriately edit images is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts editing instructions based on template categories, allowing the editing unit to select appropriate editing parameters automatically. This maintains simple template structures while ensuring reliable and appropriate image editing through category-based parameter selection.
Solution Approach 2:
The editing unit automatically selects and applies appropriate editing instructions based on the template category without requiring manual configuration. The system serves itself by automatically matching editing parameters to the intended template purpose, reducing complexity while maintaining editing quality.
3Loss of time
If fixed editing instructions are used, then the processing time is reduced, but the quality of image editing deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent prepares multiple sets of editing instructions in advance, each corresponding to a different template category. When a template is selected, the appropriate pre-prepared editing instructions are automatically applied, avoiding the need for real-time analysis while ensuring high-quality editing appropriate to the template purpose.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes editing parameters based on template categories rather than using fixed instructions. This allows quick selection from pre-defined parameter sets while adapting the editing quality to match the specific requirements of each template type.
