Device-Server Image Processing Parameter Synchronization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in synchronizing and reflecting various activities performed on a device, such as image capturing and playback, with a cloud server due to limitations in server efficiency and network environments, leading to difficulties in providing consistent and differentiated services.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for synchronizing information between a device and a server, where the device processes images in a designated mode, collects and transmits image processing parameters, and the server performs corresponding operations on higher resolution images, allowing for analysis of user interest and correlation, enabling enhanced image processing and service provision.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If image processing operations are performed on high-resolution images at the device, then image quality is improved, but processing time and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the image processing workflow into two segments: low-resolution preview processing performed locally on the device for quick feedback, and high-resolution final processing performed on the server. This segmentation allows the device to provide immediate visual feedback to users while the server handles computationally intensive high-resolution operations, resolving the contradiction between image quality and processing time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the device and the final image output. The server receives low-resolution images and processing parameters from the device, performs the computationally intensive high-resolution image processing operations, and returns the processed high-resolution images. This intermediary approach transfers the processing burden from the device to the server, improving both image quality and reducing device processing time.
2Device complexity
If all image processing operations are performed on the server, then device complexity is reduced, but network dependency increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements partial action by having the device perform only essential local functions (capturing low-resolution images, providing basic preview processing, and transmitting processing parameters), while delegating intensive processing to the server. This partial distribution of processing tasks reduces device complexity while maintaining operational reliability through local capabilities.
3Measurement precision
If high-resolution images are transmitted to the server, then processing accuracy is improved, but network bandwidth consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential processing parameters (such as filtering settings, adjustment values, and processing type) from the complete high-resolution image data and transmits these compact parameter sets to the server. The server then applies these parameters to the high-resolution images stored locally or transmitted separately. This extraction approach maintains processing accuracy while dramatically reducing the amount of data transmitted over the network.

AI summary
A method and a system for synchronizing information between a device and a server during image processing between the device and the server. A method of synchronizing information between a device and a server, the method including receiving a user input when the device is in a designated operation mode; performing an image processing operation with respect to a first resolution image based on the received user input; collecting image processing parameters corresponding to the image processing operation; and transmitting the image processing parameters to the server.
