Image Editing Support for Interactive Whiteboard Blank Space Creation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing interactive whiteboard technologies require complex operations to create a blank space by moving individual objects, making it difficult to efficiently manage the arrangement of objects on the projection surface.
Innovation Solution
An image editing support method and device that allow users to designate a range filled with a blank on an image, automatically deciding and moving objects overlapping this range to the outside, thereby creating a blank space with a simple operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If individual objects are moved to create a blank space, then the blank space can be created, but the operation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual object movement operations into a single collective operation. When a user designates a range, the system automatically identifies all objects within that range and moves them together as a group to create the blank space, eliminating the need for individual object manipulation and significantly reducing operational complexity and time
2Ease of operation
If multiple objects are moved individually considering moving directions and amounts, then precise positioning can be achieved, but the operation becomes unachievable with simple operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic identification and movement of objects within the designated range without requiring user intervention for each object. The system itself handles the complex tasks of identifying objects, calculating movement parameters, and executing movements, transforming a complex multi-step manual operation into a simple single-step user action

AI summary
An image editing support method includes deciding a target object as a first object at least partially overlapping a range to be filled with a blank in a first image in which at least one first object representing at least one of a character and a diagram is arranged out of the at least one first object when an operation of designating the range is performed using a pointer, and moving the target object to an outside of the range.
