Image Effect Preview Control for Area-Based Photo Editing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices provide limited filter options for image editing, restricting users' ability to apply desired atmospheres to their images.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device analyzes images to identify areas and applicable effects, displaying multiple effects for user selection, allowing personalized image editing based on image analysis information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device provides only manufacturer-created filters, then the device complexity remains low, but the adaptability and versatility of image editing options are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device automatically analyzes the captured image to identify subjects, areas, and suitable image effects without requiring user input for selection. The processor performs image analysis, identifies multiple areas including subjects and backgrounds, and automatically determines applicable image effects for each area, allowing the system to serve itself in generating editing options.
Solution Approach 2:
The processor divides the image into multiple distinct areas (subjects and backgrounds) and applies different image effects to each area independently. This segmentation allows diverse editing options to be generated for different regions, increasing adaptability while managing complexity through localized processing.
2Manufacturing precision
If the electronic device applies the same filter to the entire image, then the operation is simple, but the precision and quality of image editing are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Different image effects are applied to different areas of the image based on their characteristics. The processor identifies subjects and backgrounds as separate areas and selects appropriate image effects for each area, ensuring that each region receives the most suitable editing treatment rather than a uniform filter applied to the entire image.
3Productivity
If the electronic device provides manual filter selection only, then the ease of operation is maintained, but the productivity and user satisfaction are reduced due to limited choices
Solution Approach 1:
The processor performs preliminary analysis of the image to pre-identify suitable image effects before the user needs to make a selection. By analyzing the image content, identifying areas, and determining appropriate effects in advance, the system prepares multiple candidate options ready for user review, reducing the time users would otherwise spend searching for suitable filters.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides visual feedback by displaying thumbnail images that show the effect of each candidate image effect on the original image. This feedback mechanism allows users to quickly evaluate multiple options and make informed selections, improving productivity while maintaining ease of operation through intuitive visual comparison.

AI summary
An electronic device may include a camera, a display, and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to display a first image obtained through the camera in a first area of the display, identify a plurality of areas included in the first image, identify a plurality of image effects applicable to the plurality of areas, display a plurality of second images to which the plurality of image effects are applied, respectively, in a second area adjacent to the first area, and display a third image resulting from applying an image effect corresponding to an image selected from among the plurality of second images to the first image.
