Solution Overview

Problem

Current image display optimization methods on terminal devices take a long time to display images when scenario information analysis is added, leading to poor user experience due to increased calculation complexity and image freezing.

Innovation Solution

The method involves identifying and writing scenario information into the image during the photographing process using sensors like light, GPS, and others, and storing it in the EXIF data, allowing for display optimization without additional hardware modifications, thus reducing calculation during image loading and improving browsing smoothness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If scenario information analysis is added during image display optimization, then display accuracy is improved, but display time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay accuracyVSAvoiddisplay time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing scenario information analysis during the photographing process rather than during image display. The camera module analyzes scenario information (such as lighting conditions, scene type) when capturing the image and writes this information into the image data. When the image is later displayed, the display module directly reads the pre-analyzed scenario information without performing complex calculations, thus achieving accurate display optimization without increasing display time.

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If scenario identification algorithm is added during image loading, then display effect is improved, but user experience deteriorates due to image freeze

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay effectVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves this contradiction by performing the scenario identification algorithm in advance during the photographing process. The camera module completes the complex scenario analysis and writes the results into the image data before the user even selects the image for display. When the user loads the image, only simple reading and application of pre-computed scenario information is needed, eliminating image freeze and maintaining smooth user experience while still achieving improved display effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism where scenario information is embedded within the image data itself during capture. This intermediary form of pre-processed information acts as a bridge between the complex analysis required for good display effect and the simplicity needed for smooth user experience. The scenario information stored in the image serves as a compact representation that enables fast retrieval and application during display without requiring re-analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If calculation complexity is increased for accurate scenario identification, then display optimization accuracy is improved, but processing speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoptimization accuracyVSAvoidprocessing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing complex scenario identification calculations during the photographing process rather than during image display or loading. The camera module executes the computationally intensive scenario analysis (considering lighting, scene type, and other factors) when capturing the image, and stores the results in the image data. This shifts the processing burden to the capture phase, enabling fast retrieval and application during display while maintaining high optimization accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An image display optimization method and apparatus, and a terminal are provided to resolve a prior-art problem that it takes a long time to display an image when scenario information analysis is added. The method includes: identifying scenario information included in a to-be-displayed image when receiving a display instruction that is triggered by a user and that is used to display the to-be-displayed image, where the scenario information is written into the to-be-displayed image when the camera shoots the to-be-displayed image; performing display optimization on the to-be-displayed image according to the identified scenario information; and displaying the display-optimized to-be-displayed image.
