Solution Overview

Problem

Current image processing methods require cumbersome operations and have a high operation threshold, making them time-consuming for users to post-process image data on electronic devices.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that generate a first window and a second window to load preview image data and acquire feature images, time information, and geographical location information, allowing these elements to be embedded into target image data at specific coordinate positions, reducing the need for professional image processing tools.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If professional image processing tools are used for post-processing image data, then processing functionality is comprehensive, but operation complexity increases and processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprocessing functionalityVSAvoidoperation complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple professional image processing functions (feature image embedding, time information embedding, geographical location information embedding) into a single integrated processing system within the image application. This allows users to perform post-processing operations without needing separate professional tools, thereby reducing operation complexity while maintaining comprehensive processing functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The image application is designed to perform multiple functions: it not only captures images but also automatically embeds feature images, time information, and geographical location information into the captured image data. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for users to switch between different professional processing tools, simplifying operations while providing comprehensive processing capabilities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If professional image processing tools are used for post-processing image data, then processing functionality is comprehensive, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprocessing functionalityVSAvoidprocessing time

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs embedding operations automatically during the image capture process itself, rather than requiring separate post-processing steps. Feature images, time information, and geographical location information are embedded into the image data as it is captured, eliminating the need for users to manually perform these operations later, thereby significantly reducing processing time while maintaining comprehensive functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The image application automatically performs post-processing tasks including embedding feature images, time information, and geographical location information without requiring user intervention or external professional tools. This self-service capability allows the system to complete comprehensive processing functions internally, reducing the time users would otherwise spend manually processing images.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If automated embedding of feature images, time information and geographical location information is implemented, then operation simplicity increases and processing time reduces, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveoperation simplicityVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent embeds multiple types of information (feature images, time information, geographical location information) within the image data structure itself, creating a nested information architecture. This allows the system to handle complex processing tasks through a unified embedding mechanism rather than requiring multiple separate complex systems, thereby managing device complexity while achieving operational simplicity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
