Image Processing Apparatus Folder-Specific Display Effects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing technologies fail to effectively display the same image with different effects when accessed through various folders, leading to uniform display across different access paths.
Innovation Solution
An image processing method and apparatus that generate distinct display effects for an image based on different access paths by employing different processing methods for each folder, allowing the image to exhibit varied sharpness levels or effects when viewed in different folders.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the same image is stored in multiple folders for different objects, then the image can be accessed from different folders, but the image displays with the same uniform effect in all folders
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by applying different processing methods to different regions or aspects of the same image when displayed in different folders. Specifically, it adjusts display parameters such as sharpness, brightness, or contrast based on the target object category of the folder, making each folder's image display tailored to its specific context while maintaining the same underlying image data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by creating a single image processing system that can adapt to multiple different display scenarios. The processing unit is designed to handle the same image differently based on the access folder's target object type, making the system universally applicable across various folder categories without requiring separate processed copies of the image.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different processed copies of the same image are stored in different folders, then each folder can display images with appropriate effects, but storage space and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a virtual copying approach where the same image data is referenced across multiple folders, but different processing parameters are applied when retrieving and displaying the image. Instead of creating physical copies of processed images, the system creates virtual variations through parameter adjustment, significantly reducing storage requirements while maintaining the ability to display folder-appropriate effects.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying display parameters such as sharpness, brightness, contrast, or other visual characteristics based on the target object category of the accessing folder. This allows the same image to exhibit different visual effects in different folders without creating multiple stored versions, thereby reducing storage space while achieving folder-specific display effects.
3Adaptability or versatility
If real-time image processing is performed when accessing images from different folders, then display effects can be adapted to each folder, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing the mapping relationships between folders, target objects, and corresponding processing parameters during system setup or image organization. When an image is accessed, the system quickly retrieves the predetermined processing parameters associated with the accessing folder's target object category, avoiding the need for complex real-time analysis and reducing processing time while maintaining dynamic adaptation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service by automatically determining the appropriate processing parameters based on the folder structure and target object metadata that are already organized in the system. The processing unit autonomously selects and applies the correct parameters without requiring manual intervention or complex real-time decision-making, thereby reducing processing time while maintaining adaptability to different folder contexts.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides an image processing method. The method includes generating a first image exhibiting a first display effect from a master image and generating a second image exhibiting a second display effect from the master image. The second display effect is different from the first display effect.
