Solution Overview

Problem

Users of display apparatuses want to actively utilize and reproduce their own content beyond just viewing or listening to content produced by others, but existing technologies lack methods for convenient and active content utilization.

Innovation Solution

An image displaying apparatus and method that captures still images from videos, edits them using external devices, and displays either the edited images in progress or final edits, allowing users to pause and store video content for editing and re-displaying purposes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users only view or listen to content produced by others, then content consumption is simple and passive, but users cannot actively utilize or reproduce their own content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent utilization capabilityVSAvoidcontent editing convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides content utilization into distinct functional modules: capture module for acquiring still images from video, edit module for processing images with various tools, and display module for presenting results. This segmentation enables users to actively engage with content through separate, manageable operations rather than passive viewing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The display apparatus acts as an intermediary between the video source and the user, capturing still images from broadcast video and enabling editing operations. This intermediary function bridges the gap between passive content reception and active content creation, allowing users to reproduce and modify content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If still images are captured from video for editing, then users can actively edit and reproduce content, but the video display must be paused and storage resources are consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage editing capabilityVSAvoidstorage resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary capture of still images from video at specific moments before editing begins. By capturing images in advance during video playback pauses, the system prepares editable content without requiring continuous storage of entire video sequences, optimizing resource usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of storing and editing the original video stream, the system creates still image copies from video frames. These copied images serve as the basis for editing operations, significantly reducing storage requirements while enabling full image editing functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Ease of operation

If edited images are displayed in real-time during editing, then users can see editing progress immediately, but display switching between video and edited image creates complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting feedback responsivenessVSAvoiddisplay control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display apparatus dynamically switches between showing the original video and displaying edited images based on editing state. During editing operations, the display shows edited images to provide immediate visual feedback. This dynamic display behavior adapts to user needs while maintaining operational simplicity through automated control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides immediate visual feedback by displaying edited images during the editing process. Users can see their editing actions reflected in real-time on the display, enabling intuitive interaction and immediate assessment of editing results without complex manual interventions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
