Solution Overview

Problem

Current image data processing methods for irregular figures in live streaming applications are inefficient and prone to calculation errors, especially when dealing with complex figures and overlaps, leading to inaccurate area calculations and incomplete interface restoration.

Innovation Solution

An image data processing method and apparatus that divides the target display region into a grid of subgrids, calculates the cleaning number based on touch point coordinates, and deletes subimage data when a preset condition is met, allowing for efficient calculation and reduced errors by avoiding real-time area calculations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If complex calculation formulas are used to calculate the area of irregular figures, then the area ratio can be calculated, but the calculation becomes huge and produces relatively large errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvearea calculation accuracyVSAvoidcalculation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the irregular figure into multiple regular sub-regions (rectangles, triangles, etc.) by segmenting the complex shape into simpler geometric components. This allows the area to be calculated by summing the areas of these basic shapes, avoiding the need for complex integration formulas while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of directly calculating the area of the complex irregular figure using complicated formulas, the patent inverts the approach by calculating the area of simple regular shapes that make up the figure, then combining these simple results to obtain the total area. This inversion simplifies the calculation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Measurement precision

If repeated calculations are performed for irregular figures with overlaps, then the area ratio can be calculated, but the calculation becomes huge and errors increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvearea ratio calculation accuracyVSAvoidcalculation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the overlapping irregular figures into distinct regular sub-regions, allowing the area of each segment to be calculated independently and then combined. This segmentation eliminates the need for repeated complex calculations on overlapping regions, improving both accuracy and efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary segmentation and identification of regular shapes before calculating areas. By pre-dividing the complex figures into manageable regular components, the system avoids repeated complex calculations and reduces errors in overlapping regions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of manufacture

If the original interface is not restored completely, then the cleaning process can be simplified, but the interface restoration is incomplete

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface restoration simplicityVSAvoidinterface restoration completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the interface restoration process into discrete steps corresponding to the segmented regions of the sprayed pigment figure. By restoring each regular sub-region separately and systematically, the method ensures complete interface restoration without overcomplicating the overall process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary segmentation of the sprayed pigment figure into regular shapes before initiating the restoration process. This preliminary action allows the restoration to proceed systematically through each segment, ensuring completeness while maintaining simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
