Image Processing System with Multi-Resolution Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices generate large image files that slow down processing and uploading, especially in poor network conditions, failing to meet the demand for real-time sharing of images.
Innovation Solution
Generating a first image and a second image with different data amounts based on display parameters such as resolution and pixel depth, where the second image is stored as an associated image of the first, allowing for efficient data selection and processing, and uploading the associated image to improve convenience and efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a single high-resolution image is generated and stored, then image quality is improved, but processing speed and uploading efficiency deteriorate due to large file size
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the single image into multiple versions with different resolutions and quality levels. The image processing unit generates a first image (original high quality), second image (lower quality), and third image (thumbnail) from the captured image, allowing selective use based on processing needs
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the resolution and quality parameters of the same image to create multiple versions. By adjusting display parameters such as resolution and pixel depth, the system generates images with different data amounts suitable for different应用场景
2Manufacturing precision
If a single high-resolution image is uploaded, then image quality is improved, but uploading speed deteriorates due to large file size, especially in poor network conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically selects which image version to upload based on network conditions and user needs. The image uploading unit can choose to upload the original high-quality image, lower-quality version, or thumbnail, making the uploading process adaptive to different scenarios
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the resolution and file size parameters of uploaded images based on requirements. When fast upload is needed, lower-resolution versions are uploaded; when quality is prioritized, the original image is uploaded
3Productivity
If multiple images with different resolutions are generated and stored, then processing efficiency is improved, but storage space consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the image data into multiple resolution levels stored in an association. The storage unit stores the original image, lower-quality version, and thumbnail in a linked manner, allowing efficient retrieval without duplicating all data
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a nested storage structure where thumbnails and lower-resolution versions are embedded within or associated with the original image data. This allows the system to store multiple versions while maintaining efficient space utilization through associative storage
