Captured Image List Display for Condition Version Distinction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image management systems fail to clearly distinguish between images selected based on modified and unmodified conditions, leading to user confusion when displaying lists of images from events with changing criteria.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that manages images by generating and modifying sorting rules, allowing for the display of images meeting both previous and latest conditions, with distinct visual indicators for each, such as grayed-out thumbnails for previous versions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If images selected under modified and unmodified conditions are displayed together in a single list, then comprehensive image management is achieved, but user confusion occurs due to inability to distinguish between images from different condition versions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies visual differentiation by displaying thumbnails of images selected under unmodified conditions in a first color (e.g., grayed out) and thumbnails of images selected under modified conditions in a second color (e.g., normal color). This color change principle enables users to quickly distinguish between images from different condition versions without losing the comprehensive view, thereby resolving the contradiction between comprehensive management and information clarity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If sorting rules are modified to accommodate changing event criteria, then adaptability to new conditions is improved, but tracking of previous condition selections becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system maintains sorting rules with modification history and visually indicates which images were selected under previous versus current conditions through color differentiation. This allows users to quickly understand the impact of rule modifications without manually tracking changes, reducing the time required to identify condition changes while maintaining full adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by providing visual cues (color changes) that immediately show users which images are affected by condition modifications. This feedback mechanism helps users understand the consequences of modifying sorting rules, enabling them to make informed adjustments while easily tracking what has changed, thus reducing the time needed to manage evolving event criteria.
3Ease of operation
If a single display format is used for all selected images, then display simplicity is maintained, but differentiation between condition versions is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs color changes as a visual indicator to differentiate between images selected under unmodified versus modified conditions. This approach maintains display simplicity by using a consistent thumbnail-based interface while adding color as an additional visual dimension that conveys condition version information, thus preventing information loss without complicating the overall display structure.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus that manages captured images of a user includes: a selection unit configured to select the captured image meeting a specific condition from among the managed captured images; a modification unit configured to modify the specific condition based on an instruction by a user; and a display control unit configured to perform a process of displaying a list screen of the captured image selected as meeting the specific condition, and the list screen is displayed such that the captured image selected as meeting the specific condition before the modification and the captured image selected as meeting the specific condition after the modification are identifiable.
