Solution Overview

Problem

The inefficiency in picture processing on mobile terminals due to small screens, which complicates the positioning and enlargement of detail parts in images, thereby reducing processing efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that detect a target processing part in an image, determine the corresponding image region, and zoom in on it within an editing interface, using enlargement controls and factors based on area proportions to facilitate quick and convenient editing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If picture processing is performed on mobile terminal with small screen, then portability is improved, but picture processing efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveportabilityVSAvoidpicture processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The picture is segmented into multiple picture regions, with at least one region being an enlarged picture region that occupies a larger area on the display screen. This segmentation allows detailed editing of specific regions while maintaining overall picture context, thereby improving processing efficiency on mobile devices without sacrificing portability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a single-dimensional full-picture view to a multi-dimensional display approach where picture regions can be enlarged and displayed in different sizes and positions. This dimensional change enables better utilization of the mobile screen space, allowing efficient picture processing despite the small screen size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Area of stationary object

If full picture is displayed for editing, then overall picture context is maintained, but detail processing becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoiddetail processing precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The picture is divided into multiple picture regions, allowing specific regions to be enlarged for detailed editing while other regions remain in their original context. This segmentation enables simultaneous maintenance of overall picture context and detailed processing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different picture regions are displayed with different sizes and levels of detail. The enlarged picture region provides high detail for precise editing, while other regions maintain their original scale for context reference. This local quality differentiation resolves the contradiction between overall context and detail precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Measurement precision

If picture region is enlarged for detail editing, then detail processing precision is improved, but overall picture context is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetail processing precisionVSAvoidoverall picture context
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The picture is segmented into multiple regions displayed simultaneously, with at least one enlarged region for detail work and other regions maintaining original context. This segmentation prevents complete loss of overall picture context while enabling detailed processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a copy of the picture region that is enlarged and displayed separately from the original full picture. This copying allows detailed editing on the enlarged copy while the original full picture remains visible for context reference, preventing information loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A picture processing method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: detecting, in response to an image editing trigger operation, a target processing part in a to-be-processed picture; determining an image region comprising the target processing part, in the to-be-processed picture; and zooming in on the image region, on an image editing interface. Hence, according to the embodiments, when an image editing operation is triggered, the target processing part on the to-be-processed picture can be quickly positioned, and be zoomed in on the image editing interface, so that a user can conveniently perform image editing on the target processing part, and the picture processing efficiency is improved to a certain extent.
