Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image processing technologies struggle with poor recognition of photos in albums, especially when multiple similar photos need to be selected and transmitted, leading to user errors such as selecting the same photo repeatedly or missing a photo.

Innovation Solution

An image display method and apparatus that receives a second user input to invoke a target gallery, displaying the first image in a first manner and a second image in a second manner, thereby distinguishing between different images and improving recognition.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If photos are stored in an album with many similar photos, then the album can store more photos, but the user recognition of specific photos deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of photos storedVSAvoidphoto recognition accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the photo selection process into multiple stages: first displaying a limited number of thumbnail images (e.g., 9 photos) for initial selection, then providing a full-screen preview interface for detailed verification. This segmentation allows the system to store many photos while maintaining recognition accuracy by breaking down the overwhelming task into manageable steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a two-dimensional thumbnail grid view to a full-screen preview dimension. When the user selects a photo from the album, the system displays a full-screen preview interface that shows the selected photo in its original size and detail, allowing the user to verify the photo content accurately before transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If the user selects photos from a large album, then more photos can be transmitted, but the user may select the same photo repeatedly or miss photos

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephoto transmission efficiencyVSAvoidselection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system tracks which photos have been selected and provides visual feedback to the user. When a photo is selected, it is marked in the thumbnail view, and the full-screen preview confirms the selection. This feedback loop prevents duplicate selections and ensures users can verify their choices, improving both efficiency and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically selecting photos based on user input (such as text description or recent photos) before the user finalizes their selection. This preliminary selection reduces the number of photos the user needs to manually review, improving efficiency while maintaining accuracy through subsequent user verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Quantity of substance

If the album contains too many similar photos, then the storage capacity is充分利用, but the user selection process becomes complex and error-prone

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealbum storage capacityVSAvoidphoto selection ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the photo display into thumbnail previews and full-screen details, allowing users to efficiently browse many photos in thumbnail form and only engage with the full-screen view when verification is needed. This segmentation maintains ease of operation while supporting large album storage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different display qualities to different photos based on their selection state. Selected photos are marked differently from unselected ones, and the currently viewed photo receives full-screen attention while others remain in thumbnail form. This local differentiation simplifies the selection process even when many similar photos are present.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

An image display method, an electronic device, and a storage medium are disclosed. The image display method includes: creating a first label associated with a first image in a target gallery, where the first label corresponds to a first manner of displaying an image; and in response to an input to access the target gallery, displaying a first display interface that displays the first image in the first manner and a second image from the target gallery in a second manner, where the first image is different from the second image and the first manner is different from the second manner.
