Image Processing Device Partial Data Encoding
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional moving picture material editing apparatuses require a long time to finish encoding edited data, making them difficult for users to utilize efficiently.
Innovation Solution
An image processing device with a display control unit, receiving unit, editing unit, encoding unit, and encoding control unit that allows partial data encoding to start before a user command is given, enabling efficient generation of encoding results by determining if editing is confirmed based on time elapsed or temporal position differences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If encoding is performed only after user command is given, then encoding accuracy is ensured, but encoding time is excessively long
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary encoding actions by detecting when editing operations have been completed (through inactivity detection or explicit completion signals) and automatically starts encoding before the user explicitly commands it. This preliminary action reduces the overall encoding time while maintaining accuracy through the detection mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring editing operations and detecting when they are complete. This feedback loop allows the system to automatically determine the appropriate timing to start encoding, balancing between premature encoding (which could lose recent edits) and delayed encoding (which increases waiting time).
2Productivity
If partial data encoding starts before user command, then encoding efficiency is improved, but risk of encoding incomplete edits increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback mechanisms to continuously monitor editing operations and detect their completion. This feedback ensures that partial data encoding only starts when editing is truly complete, preventing the encoding of incomplete edits while maintaining high encoding efficiency through automatic detection and timing.

AI summary
An image processing device includes: a display control unit causing a displaying unit to show an editing area; a receiving unit receiving a command from a user; an editing unit placing, in the editing area, one or more images selected according to a selection command received by the receiving unit; an encoding unit which provides a result of encoding data to be encoded after the receiving unit receives a predetermined command to generate the result of encoding all the data to be encoded including image data corresponding to the one or more images accommodated in the editing area; and an encoding control unit which causes the encoding unit to start encoding partial data before the receiving unit receives the predetermined command, the partial data being at least a part of the data to be encoded.
