Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image editing technologies struggle to efficiently process small image elements within an image, limiting the creation of high-quality images due to restricted background selection and lack of automatic background generation, especially in scenarios with cluttered or monotonous backgrounds.

Innovation Solution

An image processing method that includes displaying a background generation page with style options, generating a styled image through stylization processing, and replacing the original image element with the styled image, allowing for automatic background generation and enhancement of image quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional image editing methods are used for small image elements, then the editing process becomes complex and time-consuming, but the image creation efficiency remains low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage creation efficiencyVSAvoidediting time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by allowing users to select from pre-defined style options that automatically generate coordinated background and element styles, eliminating the need for manual adjustment of multiple parameters and enabling rapid image creation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-establishing multiple style options with coordinated background and element configurations, so that when a user selects a style, the entire styling process is already prepared and can be applied instantly without time-consuming adjustments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If background selection is restricted to predefined options, then the ease of operation improves, but the adaptability and image quality are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebackground selection easeVSAvoidbackground variety
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies dynamics by making the background generation adaptive and flexible - while style options are pre-defined for ease of use, the actual background generation dynamically adjusts to match the selected style and the specific image content, providing both ease of operation and adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system achieves universality by creating a multi-functional background generation mechanism that can produce diverse backgrounds through style options, automatically coordinate with image elements, and adapt to different image content types, all within a single unified interface

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

3Manufacturing precision

If manual styling of image elements is performed, then the manufacturing precision improves, but the productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestyling consistencyVSAvoidimage creation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by automatically analyzing the selected style option and applying coordinated styling to both the background and image elements, ensuring consistency through automated feedback loops that adjust element styles to match the chosen background style

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses an intermediary mechanism where the style option acts as a mediator that automatically coordinates the styling of multiple image elements and backgrounds, ensuring manufacturing precision through centralized style control without requiring manual adjustment of each element

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Productivity

If automated background generation is implemented, then the productivity improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage creation efficiencyVSAvoidprocessing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies segmentation by dividing the complex automated background generation process into distinct modules: style option selection, background generation based on selected style, automatic element style coordination, and final composition - this modular segmentation manages device complexity while maintaining high productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to an image processing method and apparatus, and a device, a storage medium, and a program product. The method includes: acquiring an image to be edited, where the image to be edited includes a target element image and a background image; displaying a background generation page in response to a trigger operation on an editing control corresponding to the target element image, where a target element and a target style option control are displayed in the background generation page; generating a target element styled image in response to a trigger operation on the target style option control; and replacing the target element image in the image to be edited with the target element styled image in response to a confirmation operation on the target element styled image.
