Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for setting identity images in social network applications are cumbersome and inefficient, requiring users to manually select or take photos, which discourages users from setting identity information, leading to tedious and uninteresting communication experiences.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that detect identity image setting operations, display a set of pre-selected identity images, and automatically set the identity image based on user selection, utilizing local or remote image databases and historical image sets to streamline the process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually select photos from album or take photos instantly to set identity information, then the identity image can be set, but the operation becomes troublesome and efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of setting identity imageVSAvoidtime required for setting identity image

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-generates multiple candidate identity images using different filters, effects, and processing techniques before the user needs to set their identity image. These pre-processed images are stored and automatically presented to the user when they initiate the identity image setting process, eliminating the need for users to manually select from their album or take photos on the spot.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically performs image processing, filtering, and selection operations that would otherwise require user effort. The terminal device itself generates multiple processed versions of the user's photo and presents them for selection, making the system serve the user rather than requiring the user to perform complex manual operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If users manually select and process photos to set identity information, then custom identity images can be created, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveefficiency of setting identity imageVSAvoidcomplexity of setting process

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The identity image setting process is segmented into distinct processing stages: original photo capture, application of different filters and effects, generation of multiple candidate images, and final user selection. Each stage is automatically handled by the system, breaking down the complex process into manageable, automated steps that reduce overall complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically applies various parameter changes to the original photo including different filters, brightness, contrast, saturation, and other image processing parameters to generate multiple candidate identity images. These parameter transformations are performed automatically without user intervention, simplifying the overall process while maintaining image customization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes
