Image Display Control Device for School Photo Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing school photo management systems fail to efficiently identify and display images of desired individuals while considering suitability for printing, often presenting irrelevant or blurry images due to limitations in face recognition and image organization technologies.
Innovation Solution
An image display control device and method that prioritizes facial images based on similarity and print suitability, using multiple display areas to showcase candidates and update detected images, ensuring that only suitable images for printing are displayed, with features like warning systems for duplicate designations and image grouping.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If facial image recognition is performed to identify desired individuals, then the accuracy of identifying the correct person is improved, but the system may present irrelevant or blurry images when accurate authentication cannot be performed
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the evaluation parameters from solely face recognition similarity to a composite evaluation that includes both similarity degree and print suitability degree. This allows the system to filter out blurry or unsuitable images even when face recognition matches, thereby improving the reliability of presented images
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediate evaluation step that assesses print suitability as a mediator between face recognition and final image selection. This intermediary evaluation ensures that only images meeting both similarity and quality criteria are presented, resolving the contradiction between recognition accuracy and image reliability
2Quantity of substance
If all detected facial images are displayed to users, then the user can see all available images, but the user experience deteriorates due to the large number of images requiring review
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by displaying images with different levels of evaluation prominence. High-priority images (those with both high similarity and high print suitability) are displayed in prominent positions or with special markers, while lower-priority images are displayed less prominently or omitted, reducing the user's search effort
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the displayed images into categories based on their evaluation scores (similarity degree and print suitability degree). Images are divided into groups such as 'high priority,' 'medium priority,' and 'low priority,' allowing users to quickly identify and select from the most relevant images without reviewing every single image
3Measurement precision
If images are organized solely by degree of similarity, then face recognition effectiveness is improved, but the system fails to consider whether images are suitable for printing
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements multi-functionality by creating an evaluation framework that serves multiple purposes: face recognition matching, print quality assessment, and user preference consideration. This universal evaluation system can adapt to different selection criteria beyond just face similarity, making the system versatile for various image selection needs

AI summary
A facial image that a user desires to look for from among a plurality of detected facial image displayed in a first facial image display area is clicked, and the clicked facial image is displayed in a third facial image display area. A facial image that is similar to the facial image displayed in the third facial image display area and is suitable for printing is looked for among from the plurality of detected facial image displayed in the first facial image display area, and displayed in a second facial image display area. The user clicks the facial image of the person which the user desires to look for from among the facial images displayed in the second facial image display area. The clicked facial image is displayed in the third facial image display area.
