Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional image editing approaches are inefficient and inconvenient, particularly when users need to adjust the perspective of images captured by computing devices, often resulting in skewed or distorted images with empty regions after editing.

Innovation Solution

The system provides options to adjust images in a virtual three-dimensional space, allowing users to detect commands such as touch gestures to zoom or move the image perspective, and automatically fits the adjusted image within a specified display area to minimize empty regions, using modules like perspective adjustment, viewable area management, and automatic fitting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional image editing approaches are used to adjust image perspective, then image editing functionality is provided, but the editing process is inefficient and inconvenient, resulting in skewed or distorted images with empty regions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage editing efficiencyVSAvoidimage editing convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic fitting of the adjusted image to the display area without requiring manual intervention. After perspective adjustment, the system automatically calculates and applies the necessary scaling and positioning to eliminate empty regions, making the editing process self-service and highly efficient

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides real-time preview of the adjusted image during the editing process, allowing users to see the final result before committing to the edit. This preliminary action enables users to make informed adjustments and avoids the need for repeated editing attempts

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If manual adjustment of image perspective is performed, then perspective correction is achieved, but the process is time-consuming and requires multiple manual interventions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage perspective accuracyVSAvoidimage editing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces manual mechanical adjustment operations with automated computational algorithms. The perspective adjustment and fitting processes are performed automatically through software calculations rather than manual dragging and resizing operations, significantly reducing editing time while maintaining precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides real-time feedback during the perspective adjustment process by displaying the adjusted image preview as users interact with the editing interface. This immediate feedback allows users to see the effect of their adjustments instantly and make precise corrections without waiting for manual processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Shape

If image perspective is adjusted without automatic fitting, then perspective correction is provided, but empty regions appear in the display area reducing visual quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage perspectiveVSAvoidimage display quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the image scaling and positioning based on the display area constraints. After perspective correction, the system automatically calculates the optimal scale factor and position to fill the display area completely, adapting the image presentation to the specific display context and eliminating empty regions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can provide one or more options to adjust, in a virtual three-dimensional space, an image in an initial perspective. At least a first command, provided based on the one or more options, to adjust the image from the initial perspective into an adjusted perspective can be detected. The image can be adjusted, based on at least the first command, into the adjusted perspective in the virtual three-dimensional space to produce an adjusted image. A second command to modify a viewable area of the adjusted image can be detected. At least a portion of the adjusted image can be automatically fitted, when the second command has ceased, within a specified display area while one or more empty regions can be minimized in the specified display area.
