Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image display methods, such as the one disclosed in JP-A-2021-22239, lack the ability to intuitively adjust video settings in detail, as they rely on pre-stored setting values associated with specific words, limiting user flexibility.

Innovation Solution

An image display method that involves displaying a series of setting images, allowing users to select and adjust various parameters such as video genre and brightness through a graphical user interface, enabling finer control over the input image.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If pre-stored setting values associated with specific words are used, then the system is simple to operate, but the user cannot adjust video settings in detail

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidadjustment detail
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The setting adjustment process is divided into multiple stages: first presenting preset options (first setting image), then allowing detailed parameter adjustment (second setting image) only when needed. This segmentation enables users to choose between quick preset selection and detailed customization based on their needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adapts its operation mode based on user input. When a user selects a preset word, the system provides quick adjustment. When a user selects custom adjustment, the system transitions to a more detailed multi-stage adjustment interface, making the system's complexity dynamic rather than fixed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple setting stages are introduced for detailed adjustment, then the adjustment detail improves, but the operation process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment detailVSAvoidoperation process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The complex adjustment process is broken down into manageable segments: first setting image with preset options, then second setting image with specific parameter controls. This segmentation makes the complexity manageable by presenting only the necessary controls at each stage rather than all controls simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by presenting preset setting images first, allowing users to potentially complete the task with minimal steps. The more complex second stage is prepared in advance but only activated when needed, reducing the perceived complexity for users who don't require detailed adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If preset setting values are used, then the response time is fast, but the user flexibility is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse timeVSAvoiduser flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides dynamic response based on user needs. The fast preset path remains available for quick adjustments, while the detailed customization path is readily accessible when flexibility is needed. This dynamic structure allows the system to maintain fast response capability while eliminating flexibility limitations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system serves multiple functions through a unified interface: it can quickly apply preset settings for standard cases, or transition to detailed parameter adjustment for customized needs. This multi-functionality allows the system to maintain fast response time for common operations while providing full flexibility when required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

An image display method includes: displaying a first setting image including a first image that indicates a first setting value and a second image that indicates a second setting value; receiving a first operation for selecting one of the first image and the second image; displaying, when the first operation is received, a second setting image including a third image that indicates a third setting value and a fourth image that indicates a fourth setting value; receiving a second operation for selecting one of the third image and the fourth image; and displaying an input image adjusted based on the first operation and the second operation.
