Image Reversal with Independent Text Orientation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Image processing apparatuses struggle to reverse images for user convenience while maintaining readability of additional information, as existing systems often reverse text and other information along with the image, making it difficult for users to read or imitate motions or poses.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus and method that includes a signal receiver, processor, and controller to selectively reverse images right-to-left or up-to-down without reversing additional information, allowing users to choose image reversal based on their type or input, and moves additional information to avoid obscuring important parts of the image.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the image is reversed right to left or up to down for user convenience, then the user can easily imitate motions or poses, but the additional information text is also reversed making it difficult to read
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display area into two independent parts: the image area and the additional information area. The image can be reversed (right-left or up-down) while the additional information remains in its original orientation. This segmentation allows each part to be processed independently, resolving the contradiction between image reversal for imitation purposes and text readability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different processing qualities to different parts of the display. The image area undergoes reversal transformation while the additional information area maintains its original state. This local differentiation in processing quality allows the image to serve imitation purposes while the text remains readable.
2Loss of information
If the additional information is displayed in one area of the image, then it provides context and details, but it may cover or obscure important parts of the reversed image
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic positioning of additional information based on the reversed image content. The system detects important parts of the reversed image and automatically adjusts the position of additional information to avoid covering these areas. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction between providing complete information and avoiding obscuration of important image elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback mechanisms to detect when additional information overlaps with important parts of the reversed image. Based on this feedback, the system automatically repositions the additional information to an appropriate location that does not obscure critical image content, while still maintaining information completeness.

AI summary
An image processing apparatus and a control method thereof are provided. The image processing apparatus includes: a signal receiver to receive an image signal including an image and additional information displayed in the image; a signal processor to process the received image signal; and a controller to generate a reversed image resulting from up-down and/or right-left reversal of the image included in the image signal and to control the signal processor to display the reversed image and the additional information at an area of the reversed image.
