Image Display Device Movable Filter Area Comparison
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic cameras and image display devices face difficulties in easily comparing and selecting filter effects due to complex operations and the inability to overlap or compare multiple filter effects on the same screen.
Innovation Solution
An electronic camera and image display device with a display unit, operation unit, and filter unit that allows for movable designation of image areas on the screen, enabling different filter processing on each area and easy comparison of filter effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If filter processing is performed on the entire image displayed on a monitor, then filter effects can be applied uniformly, but it becomes difficult to compare different filter effects or make comparisons based on presence/absence of filter effect
Solution Approach 1:
The image display area is divided into multiple selectable regions, allowing users to apply different filter effects to different areas or compare filtered and non-filtered portions side by side. This segmentation enables direct visual comparison of filter effects without requiring separate full-image processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a spatial dimension for filter effect comparison by displaying multiple filter results simultaneously in different regions of the screen. Instead of sequential processing, the system presents filter options in a spatial arrangement that allows direct visual comparison across different areas.
2Ease of operation
If multiple filter effects are to be compared on the same screen, then filter selection becomes easier, but complicated operations such as menu selection are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically displays multiple filter effects in different regions of the screen without requiring users to navigate through menus or perform complex selection operations. The filter effects are presented in a self-explanatory visual format where users can directly observe and compare results.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-processes and displays multiple filter effects simultaneously before user selection is required. By preparing all filter options in advance and presenting them together on the screen, the system eliminates the need for sequential menu navigation and allows users to make immediate comparisons.
3Adaptability or versatility
If filter strength is adjusted, then filter effects can be customized, but it becomes difficult to compare filter effects created by various strength differences on the same screen
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the image display area can show the same filter effect applied at different strength levels, allowing users to compare the impact of varying filter intensities directly. Each region maintains its own quality characteristics while enabling systematic comparison of filter strength effects.

AI summary
A display unit having an image display area for displaying an image, an operation unit by which a predetermined area in the image display area is designated in a movable manner, and a filter unit performing filter processing on the image corresponding to the predetermined area designated in the movable manner by the operation unit. Accordingly, it is possible to easily perform an operation of overlapping a plurality of filter effects, and a comparison of images based on the presence/absence of a filter effect, or different filter effects, without performing a complicated filter operation.
