Geographic Image Selection for Slide Show Configuration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional slide show methods require users to manually select images one by one without considering their correlation, making it inconvenient to add or delete images during the presentation, and necessitate stopping the show to reconfigure.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize geographic position information to select images based on a map, allowing users to set an image search range and display images with corresponding positions, enabling intuitive selection and presentation of geographically correlated images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional methods are used to select images for slide show, then users can view images in slide show form, but users have to manually select images one by one without considering correlation between images
Solution Approach 1:
Geographic position information is pre-associated with each image in the database. When a user selects an image, the system automatically retrieves other images within the specified geographic range without requiring manual selection, thus performing the selection action in advance through automated querying
Solution Approach 2:
A map interface serves as an intermediary between the user and the image database. The map visually displays geographic positions and allows users to define search ranges through graphical interaction, mediating the complex database query process with simple visual operations
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional methods are used for slide show configuration, then users can select effects such as background music and theme, but users must stop the slide show to add or delete images
Solution Approach 1:
The system maintains continuous slide show playback while allowing image modifications. Users can add or delete images during the presentation without interruption, and the system automatically updates the slide sequence and maintains playback continuity, eliminating the need to stop for reconfiguration
Solution Approach 2:
The slide show configuration is made dynamic rather than static. The image list and slide sequence are automatically updated in real-time during playback based on user additions or deletions, allowing the system to adapt and reconfigure itself without requiring a complete restart or interruption
3Quantity of substance
If all images in a predetermined folder are selected for slide show, then users can view comprehensive image collections, but users experience inconvenience due to lack of selective filtering
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of treating all images uniformly, the system applies local quality filtering based on geographic position. Each image is evaluated individually according to its geographic attributes, and only images falling within the specified geographic range are selected, allowing precise spatial filtering while maintaining operational simplicity

AI summary
A method of providing a slide show includes selecting one of a plurality of images in which geographic position information is set, marking a plurality of positions corresponding to the plurality of images on a map based on geographic position information and outputting the map, setting an image search range on the map based on a position on the map, which corresponds to the selected image, and providing the slide show by using images corresponding to positions on the map, which belong to the set image search range.
