Image Processing for Mobile Preview Visual Prominence
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current preview applications on mobile devices struggle to effectively display the target application due to differences in significance between the target application and background icons, leading to a less clear preview effect for users.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for image processing that modify factors such as grayscale, luminance, chrominance, and transparency of the target application and background pictures to enhance the visual prominence of the target application, ensuring its values are higher than or lower than the background, thereby improving the display effect.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the target application picture is overlaid on a background picture with simulated environment icons, then the preview function is implemented, but the target application picture is not visually prominent and users have difficulty finding it
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color and luminance adjustments to the target application picture, making it stand out from the background by modifying its chromaticity and brightness characteristics. This allows users to quickly locate the target application among background icons through visual differentiation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent modifies multiple picture parameters including luminance, chrominance, and grayscale values of the target application picture. By adjusting these parameters, the target application achieves visual prominence while maintaining the overall preview functionality.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the significance of background icons is made equal to or higher than the target application picture, then the simulated environment is enhanced, but the preview effect of the target application is degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different visual processing to different regions of the composite image. The target application picture receives enhanced processing (luminance, chrominance adjustments) while background icons maintain their original appearance, creating local quality differences that guide user attention to the target application.
Solution Approach 2:
By selectively modifying the color properties of the target application picture while leaving background icons unchanged, the patent creates visual hierarchy that preserves environment consistency while ensuring target application prominence.
3Device complexity
If no image processing is applied to distinguish the target application, then the processing complexity is low, but the display effect and user experience are degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements relatively simple parameter adjustments (luminance, chrominance, grayscale) on the target application picture rather than complex processing algorithms. This approach achieves good preview quality with controlled processing complexity, balancing performance and visual effect.

AI summary
An image processing method and an apparatus are disclosed and are used for improving the display effect of the image. The method involves: determining an object application picture and the real environment of the object application according to triggering of a preview event; acquiring a background picture according to the real environment of the object application; processing at least one of the object application picture and the background picture, so that the object application picture is more significant than the background picture; outputting the combination of the object application picture and the background picture in the preview environment. An apparatus for implementing the method is disclosed.
