Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electronic devices provide low-quality and small-sized thumbnail previews for filter effects, making it difficult for users to accurately predict the outcome of applied filter effects, and do not allow for simultaneous application of multiple filter effects or accurate previews of new filter effects before purchase.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device method that divides an image into multiple filter areas and displays preview images with different filter effects applied to each area, enabling users to select and apply multiple filter effects simultaneously and providing previews for new filter effects before purchase.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If thumbnail images are used to display filter effect previews, then multiple filter effects can be displayed simultaneously, but the image quality and size become too small for accurate preview

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveability to display multiple filter effectsVSAvoidpreview accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is divided into multiple filter areas, with each area showing a different filter effect applied to the same image. This segmentation allows multiple filter previews to be displayed simultaneously while maintaining sufficient image quality in each area, resolving the contradiction between displaying multiple filters and maintaining preview accuracy.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If the original image is displayed in full size, then high image quality is maintained, but multiple filter effects cannot be displayed simultaneously

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveimage qualityVSAvoidability to display multiple filter effects

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The display area is segmented into multiple filter areas, each displaying a different filter effect. This allows the system to maintain good image quality in each segmented area while simultaneously presenting multiple filter options, thus resolving the contradiction between full-size display and multi-filter display capability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

3Speed

If hardware settings are changed to apply filter effects, then real-time filter application is achieved, but the user must learn various filter effects to select appropriate ones

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefilter application speedVSAvoiduser learning curve

Core Design Contradiction:

SpeedVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides visual feedback by displaying thumbnail previews of filter effects applied to previously captured images. This allows users to see the actual effect of different filters without needing to understand their technical parameters, reducing the learning curve while maintaining real-time filter application capability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A method for displaying an image in an electronic device provided. The method includes displaying an image and if a filter effect list request is input, dividing at least a portion of the image into a plurality of filter areas, and displaying a preview image in which different filter effects are applied to the plurality of filter areas.
