Image Revision Proposals Balancing Visual Attention and Impression
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing design revision methods solely focusing on attentional property evaluation can lead to significant changes in the impression of an image, deviating from the intended concept and reducing the promotional effect of articles.
Innovation Solution
A design revision apparatus and method that combines attentional property evaluation with impression evaluation to propose revisions that maintain both attentional property and impression, using a hardware processor to analyze images and present design revision proposals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If attentional property evaluation is used as the sole evaluation reference for design revision, then the distinctness of the design is improved, but the original impression of the design deviates significantly from the initial state
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines attentional property evaluation and impression evaluation into a unified dual-evaluation system. Both evaluation results are integrated to generate design revision proposals, ensuring that improvements in distinctness do not compromise the original design impression. This merging approach resolves the contradiction by simultaneously considering both evaluation dimensions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the evaluation parameters from a single attentional property metric to a combined set of parameters including both attentional property and impression metrics. This multi-parameter evaluation framework allows the system to optimize for distinctness while maintaining constraints on impression preservation, thereby resolving the technical contradiction.
2Measurement precision
If manual or automatic change is made for attentional property improvement, then the distinctness is enhanced, but the impression of the article deviates from the intended concept
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the impression evaluation results are fed back into the design revision process. The system continuously monitors both attentional property and impression metrics, adjusting revision proposals to maintain impression consistency while improving attentional property. This closed-loop feedback resolves the contradiction by preventing impression deviation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic adjustment capabilities where the relative weights and constraints of attentional property versus impression preservation can be adjusted based on specific design requirements. This dynamic approach allows the system to adaptively balance the two competing objectives, resolving the contradiction in context-dependent manner.
3Ease of operation
If design is revised solely based on attentional property, then visual attention is improved, but the promotional effect is reduced due to impression deviation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the optimization parameters from single-dimensional attentional property maximization to multi-dimensional optimization that includes both attentional property improvement and impression preservation. This parameter expansion ensures that promotional effectiveness is maintained while still achieving visual attention goals.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies counterbalancing by using impression evaluation as a constraint that counterweights the attentional property optimization. This prevents excessive or inappropriate design changes that would harm promotional effectiveness, while still allowing meaningful improvements in visual attention to occur.

AI summary
A design revision apparatus includes a hardware processor that: applies, to an input image, attentional property evaluation that evaluates a portion easily attracting visual attention; performs impression evaluation that estimates an impression given by the input image to an observer; and combines a result of the attentional property evaluation with a result of the impression evaluation and presents a design revision proposal about an attentional property or an impression of the input image.
