Image Reproduction Control for Still and Moving Image Overlap
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image reproducing apparatuses face issues with redundant playback where still images and associated moving images overlap during reproduction, leading to inefficient and cluttered playback experiences.
Innovation Solution
An image reproducing apparatus with a determination unit that selects still images or portions of moving images to reproduce, ensuring that both the still image and its associated moving image portion are not reproduced simultaneously, using a configuration that includes a recording medium for storing both still and moving images, and a reproduction control unit to manage the playback sequence.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If both still images and moving images are recorded and reproduced, then the quantity of reproduced content increases, but redundant playback occurs where still images and moving images overlap
Solution Approach 1:
The determination unit performs preliminary analysis before reproduction to identify which still images and moving images are associated. It proactively determines the reproduction plan by checking association information and selecting non-overlapping combinations, preventing redundant playback before it occurs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses association information as feedback to guide the selection process. The determination unit refers to stored association data to understand relationships between still and moving images, and uses this feedback to make intelligent selection decisions that avoid redundancy while maximizing content variety.
2Reliability
If all recorded images are reproduced, then completeness of playback is improved, but playback organization and clarity deteriorate due to overlap
Solution Approach 1:
The reproduction process is segmented into distinct selection and execution phases. The determination unit segments the task of selecting still images and moving images separately, using association information to ensure they don't overlap, while the reproduction unit executes the predetermined plan, maintaining both completeness and organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The determination unit acts as an intermediary between the recorded images and the reproduction process. It processes the association information and selects appropriate combinations, mediating between the desire for complete playback and the need for organized, non-redundant presentation.
3Ease of operation
If the system automatically selects images to reproduce, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases due to determination logic
Solution Approach 1:
The determination unit enables the system to serve itself by automatically selecting appropriate image combinations based on stored association information. The system uses its own recorded data to make selection decisions, eliminating the need for manual user configuration while maintaining operational simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses association information as a copy or representation of the relationships between images. Rather than implementing complex real-time analysis, the determination logic references pre-stored association data, simplifying the determination process while maintaining intelligent selection capabilities.

AI summary
An image reproducing apparatus including a selection unit configured to select a still image to be reproduced, a moving image to be reproduced, and a reproduction range of the moving image from a recording medium in which a plurality of still images and moving images is recorded, and a reproduction control unit configured to perform control to sequentially reproduce the still image and the reproduction range of the moving image selected to be reproduced by the selection unit, the selection unit being configured to perform control so that both a still image and a range of a moving image in which the still image is inserted are not selected to be reproduced.
