Image Layout Clustering for Uniform Themed Arrangement

The patent segments the layout frames into groups that share common characteristics (e.g., frames with similar background colors or themes). By identifying and grouping layout frames with comparable attributes, the system enables collective arrangement of themed images across multiple frames while maintaining independent control over each frame's content. This segmentation allows users to specify conditions that apply to groups of frames rather than individual frames, resolving the contradiction between independent frame arrangement and collective themed arrangement.

The patent creates a universal arrangement mechanism that can handle both individual layout frame arrangement and collective grouped frame arrangement through the same condition specification interface. The system allows users to specify conditions (such as color ranges, themes, or metadata criteria) that automatically apply to all layout frames within a group, enabling the same set of selected images to be collectively arranged across multiple frames without requiring separate arrangement operations for each frame. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction between precise image selection and arrangement complexity.

The patent merges the arrangement operations of multiple layout frames by grouping frames that share common characteristics (such as background color, theme, or positional relationships). Once frames are grouped, the system applies unified arrangement rules to the entire group, ensuring that themed images are distributed uniformly across all frames in the group. This merging maintains high productivity by allowing batch processing of frame arrangements while simultaneously ensuring uniformity of themed image distribution across the grouped frames, resolving the contradiction between individual frame filling efficiency and uniform themed distribution.
