Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image display systems for social network services face limitations in efficiently displaying large numbers of images, leading to degraded browsing experiences due to the inability to effectively awaken user interest.

Innovation Solution

An image display system that includes a transmission unit, storage, layout unit, and display control unit to resize and prioritize the display of images based on their value, with the display control unit changing the position of display regions to frequently show higher-value images more prominently.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If many artworks are displayed on the server, then the quantity of images increases, but the browsing property of the artwork is degraded

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenumber of artworksVSAvoidbrowsing property

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display area is segmented into multiple regions (first display region and second display region) with different sizes. High-value artworks are displayed in the larger first display region while low-value artworks are displayed in the smaller second display region, allowing efficient organization of large quantities of artworks while maintaining good browsing properties through selective regional display.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If images are displayed in temporal order, then the display process is simple, but the interest of the user cannot be awakened

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedisplay process complexityVSAvoiduser interest awakening

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Different display regions are assigned different qualities based on artwork value. The first display region (larger area) is allocated to high-value artworks to attract user attention, while the second display region (smaller area) is allocated to low-value artworks. This local quality differentiation awakens user interest without significantly increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The display parameters (display region size and position) are changed based on the value of each artwork. High-value artworks are assigned to the first display region with larger area, while low-value artworks are assigned to the second display region with smaller area. This parameter change strategy effectively awakens user interest while maintaining manageable system complexity.

AI summary

An image display system includes a transmission unit configured to cause a terminal to transmit images to a server through a network, a storage configured to store the images transmitted by the transmission unit, a layout unit configured to write resized images of the images stored in the storage into a display buffer, and a display control unit configured to display resized images on the terminal, which are in a display region of the display buffer, wherein the display control unit is configured to change a position of the display region such that a first resized image is more frequently displayed than a second resized image.
