Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image processing systems face the challenge of unintentionally executing unintended image processing due to the reliance on the accuracy of generative models and user prompts, leading to instability in achieving desired image processing outcomes.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that acquires user input and image processing algorithm information, uses a deep learning-based generative model to suggest image processing candidates, and allows user acceptance or rejection, thereby stabilizing the execution of desired image processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If a generative model based on deep learning is used to automatically execute image processing based on user prompts, then the automation and ease of operation are improved, but the reliability and stability of executing desired image processing deteriorate due to potential inaccuracies in model interpretation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic execution of image processingVSAvoidstability of executing desired image processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system displays image processing candidates to the user and receives feedback by detecting operations to select or reject candidates. This feedback loop allows the system to automatically execute the desired image processing while maintaining reliability through user confirmation, resolving the contradiction between automation and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If the system directly executes image processing based on generative model output, then the productivity and efficiency are improved, but the risk of unintended processing increases, reducing the quality of results

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of image processing executionVSAvoidaccuracy of image processing execution
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system displays image processing candidates to the user before automatic execution. This preliminary action of showing candidates allows the user to review and confirm the processing to be executed, ensuring accuracy while maintaining efficient automatic execution, thus resolving the contradiction between productivity and precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Manufacturing precision

If the system provides detailed control over image processing parameters, then the manufacturing precision and control over outcomes are improved, but the device complexity and difficulty of operation increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol over image processing outcomesVSAvoidcomplexity of system operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces image processing candidates as an intermediary between the user's simple prompt input and the detailed parameter control. The generative model generates candidate parameters automatically, and the user selects from these candidates rather than directly controlling all parameters, thus maintaining precision while reducing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
