Solution Overview

Problem

Current image management technologies lack the ability to recognize individuals in images and recommend appropriate visual effects or sharing options based on associated messenger accounts, limiting personalized interactions and image processing.

Innovation Solution

An image management method that identifies individuals in target images by matching face images with stored messenger accounts, determines associated events or chatrooms, and applies visual effects or recommends sharing options, utilizing a server-based database to link face images with messenger accounts and provide user interfaces for changing accounts and selecting chatrooms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If face image recognition and messenger account association are implemented, then personalized image management capability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized image management capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A server acts as an intermediary between the user terminal and the database, managing the complex tasks of face image recognition, messenger account association, and event determination. The server receives target images from user terminals, performs recognition and matching operations, and returns processed results, thereby isolating the complexity from the user terminal while enabling personalized image management capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from simple image storage to multi-dimensional image management by associating images with messenger accounts, events, and chatrooms. This adds layers of information (account identification, event context, sharing recommendations) that enable personalized management while organizing complexity into structured dimensions rather than monolithic system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If face image recognition and messenger account matching are performed, then image processing personalization is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage processing personalizationVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Messenger accounts and their associated information (events, chatrooms, personal data) are pre-stored and organized in a database before needed for image processing. When a target image is received, the system performs rapid matching against pre-organized data structures rather than creating associations on-demand, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining personalization capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If visual effects and sharing recommendations are automatically applied, then user interaction convenience is improved, but control flexibility decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction convenienceVSAvoidcontrol flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides feedback to users by displaying identified messenger account information, events, and recommended chatrooms on the user terminal. This allows users to review the automated analysis and make informed decisions about which visual effects to apply and which sharing options to select, maintaining control flexibility while leveraging automated analysis for convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Provided are a method and system for managing an image based on interaction between a face image and a message account. An image management method may include: storing, in a database, a plurality of face images and a plurality of messenger accounts in association with each other; receiving a target image; recognizing a face image from the received target image; searching, the database for a first face image that matches the recognized face image, among the stored plurality of face images, and identifying a first messenger account corresponding to the first face image, among the stored plurality of messenger accounts; and displaying information of the first messenger account in association with the first face image, in the target image.
