Feeling-Expressing Word Processing for Visual Atmosphere Conveyance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods, such as character inserting devices, fail to effectively convey the impression of a scene's atmosphere from visual information in photographs, as they primarily rely on auditory conversions and cannot express visual-based impressions.
Innovation Solution
A feeling-expressing-word processing device and method that analyzes photographed images to calculate feeling information, such as face counts, tilt, and movement, and extracts corresponding words from a database to convey the scene's atmosphere, enabling clearer visualization of the scene's impression.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If auditory information is converted to characters and inserted into images, then the atmosphere can be conveyed through sound, but visual information-based impressions cannot be expressed
Solution Approach 1:
The system processes multiple types of input information (auditory and visual) through a unified atmosphere generation mechanism, making the atmosphere conveyance function adaptable to different information sources. The word extraction unit can handle both converted auditory characters and directly extracted visual features.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces an intermediary processing layer that converts visual information into atmospheric descriptors, similar to how auditory information is converted. This mediator bridge allows visual impressions to be expressed in the same format as auditory-based atmosphere, enabling comprehensive atmosphere conveyance.
2Ease of manufacture
If only auditory information is used for character insertion, then the system is simple to implement, but it cannot capture visual-based atmospheric impressions
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the information processing into distinct modules: auditory processing module and visual processing module. Each module handles its respective information type independently, maintaining implementation simplicity while enabling comprehensive atmosphere capture through modular integration.
3Loss of information
If visual information analysis is added to the system, then atmospheric impressions can be fully conveyed, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the auditory processing pipeline and visual processing pipeline into a unified atmosphere generation framework. Both information sources feed into the same word extraction and atmosphere generation mechanisms, reducing overall system complexity through integration rather than parallel separate systems.

AI summary
The present approach enables an impression of the atmosphere of a scene or an object present in the scene at the time of photography to be pictured in a person's mind as though the person were actually at the photographed scene. A feeling-expressing-word processing device has: a feeling information calculating unit 11 for analyzing a photographed image, and calculating feeling information which indicates a situation of a scene portrayed in the photographed image or a condition of an object present in the scene; and a feeling-expressing-word extracting unit 12 for extracting, from among feeling-expressing words which express feelings and are stored in a feeling-expressing-word database 21 in association with the feeling information, a feeling-expressing word which corresponds to the feeling information calculated by the feeling information calculating unit 11.
