Image Processing Device Inversion State Notification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users struggle to intuitively recognize the inversion or rotation state of images during recording and display in existing camera systems, as the current notification methods do not clearly differentiate between recording and display settings, making it difficult to confirm the current setting state.
Innovation Solution
An image processing device with a first generation unit for controlling image direction based on recording settings, a second generation unit for controlling display image direction, and a control unit that displays the images and cancels the recording unit's control to generate a fourth image in response to a trigger, allowing users to intuitively recognize the inversion or rotation state of recording and display images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single icon is used to notify both recording inversion and display inversion settings, then the notification system is simplified, but the user cannot intuitively grasp the inversion situation for each function separately
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the single inversion notification into separate notifications: one icon for recording image inversion settings and another icon for display image inversion settings. This segmentation allows users to clearly distinguish between the two different inversion functions and their respective settings states, resolving the information loss caused by combined notification.
2Adaptability or versatility
If inversion processing is applied to both recording and display images, then the camera can adapt to various installation positions, but the user cannot recognize the current setting state from the displayed image
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses different display colors or visual indicators to represent different inversion setting states. When inversion processing is applied, the display shows specific color-coded icons or visual cues that immediately inform users of the current setting state, making it easy to recognize whether inversion is active without confusion.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides immediate visual feedback through icons and display indicators that reflect the current inversion settings. This feedback mechanism allows users to confirm the active settings in real-time, ensuring they understand how the image will be recorded and displayed before actually capturing the image.
3Loss of information
If the camera provides detailed inversion setting notifications, then users can clearly understand the settings, but the display interface becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The notification system is segmented into distinct, modular icons for recording inversion and display inversion settings. Each icon independently represents a specific setting state, providing complete information without creating a cluttered or complex display interface. The segmented approach allows for clear, concise visualization of multiple settings simultaneously.

AI summary
An image processing device includes a first generation unit, a second generation unit, and a control unit. The first generation unit controls a direction of a first image according to a first setting that is a setting for processing of rotation or inversion to generate a second image. The second generation unit controls a direction of the second image according to a second setting that is a setting for processing of rotation or inversion to generate a third image. The control unit 1) controls a display unit to display the third image, and 2) controls the direction of the second image so as to cancel control by the first generation unit to control the second generation unit so that a fourth image is generated and controls the display unit so that the fourth image is displayed regardless of the second setting in response to a first trigger.
