Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image editing technologies on electronic devices provide limited and standardized image effect filters, failing to meet users' personal preferences.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device with a communication circuit, camera, memory, and processor determines user preferences based on operation history and recommends or provides image effect filters from external devices or internal memory during image editing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If standardized image effect filters are provided by application developer or electronic device manufacturer, then the image editing function is available, but the type of image effect filter is limited and may not meet user's personal taste

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage effect filter typeVSAvoidfilter selection system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by analyzing user activity history before the user needs image editing, determining user preferences in advance, and preparing personalized filter recommendations. This allows the system to have diverse filter options ready when the user initiates editing, resolving the contradiction between filter variety and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically analyzing user behavior patterns and generating personalized filter recommendations without requiring manual user configuration. The electronic device autonomously determines user preferences from operation history and provides tailored filter selections, achieving adaptability while maintaining simple user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If user activity history is analyzed to determine user preferences, then personalized filter recommendations can be provided, but additional processing and data management are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoiddata processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The processor performs multiple functions using the same data processing infrastructure: it handles user activity history analysis, determines user preferences, and generates filter recommendations all through a unified processing system. This multi-functional approach achieves personalization capability while avoiding the need for separate complex subsystems for each function.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary layer of preference determination that mediates between raw user activity data and final filter recommendations. This intermediary processing step transforms complex user behavior data into simplified preference profiles, which then guide filter selection without requiring direct complex analysis at the recommendation stage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
