Image Processing Device Character String Relocation Without Position Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing systems require position coordinate data to relocate characters, which can be cumbersome and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
An image processing device that combines and divides character strings to create output image data without needing position coordinate data, allowing for efficient re-location and enlargement of characters by processing the image data through a series of steps including character string analysis, combining, and re-location processes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If position coordinate data is used to relocate characters, then character re-location accuracy is improved, but data processing complexity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining character string templates and their associated position information in advance. During image processing, the system directly matches these pre-prepared templates with detected character strings to automatically determine positions, eliminating the need for real-time coordinate calculation and significantly reducing processing time while maintaining accuracy
2Measurement precision
If position coordinate data is used to relocate characters, then character re-location accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs disposable short-living objects by using temporary character string templates that are created, matched, and discarded in each processing cycle. These templates serve as lightweight intermediaries to transfer position information without requiring permanent storage or complex data structures, thereby simplifying the system architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces character string templates as intermediary elements between image processing and position determination. These templates act as mediators that carry position information from pre-defined sources to the character re-location process, eliminating the need for direct complex coordinate system transformations and reducing overall system complexity
3Productivity
If character strings are combined and divided without position data, then processing efficiency is improved, but position precision may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining character string templates with their position information in advance. During image processing, the system directly matches these pre-prepared templates with detected character strings to automatically determine positions, eliminating the need for real-time coordinate calculation and significantly reducing processing time while maintaining accuracy

AI summary
An image processing device may acquire original image data representing an original image including M lines of original character strings, and combine M items of original character string image data representing the M lines of original character strings so as to create target character string image data representing one line of target character string. The image processing device may divide the target character string image data so as to create N items of divided character string image data representing N lines of divided character strings into which the one line of target character string is divided, and create output image data representing the N lines of divided character strings by using the N items of divided character string image data. A number of characters of a leading line of divided character string may be different from a number of characters of a leading line of original character string.
