Image Synthesis for Platform Sharing Limits
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image sharing platforms, such as WeChat and Weibo, limit the number of images that can be shared at one time, restricting users' ability to share multiple photos simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
An image sharing method that processes selected images into fewer, combined 'processed to-be-shared images' based on the maximum shareable quantity allowed by the platform, allowing users to send groups of images as a single entity, thereby exceeding the platform's limits.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple photos are selected from the gallery and sent to the target sharing platform, then the user can share images, but the quantity of images to be shared is limited (at most nine images each time for WeChat and Weibo)
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple selected images into a single image file using synthesis processing. When the user selects more images than the platform limit allows, the system automatically combines these multiple images into one synthesized image file, which can then be shared as a single unit with the target sharing platform. This resolves the contradiction by enabling sharing of unlimited quantities of images while maintaining simple user operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the sharing process into two distinct stages: first, the user selects multiple images from the gallery; second, the system automatically performs synthesis processing to combine these images into a single shareable file. This segmentation allows the system to handle unlimited image quantities while keeping the user interface simple and the sharing operation straightforward.
2Quantity of substance
If the quantity of images to be shared exceeds the single-time maximum shareable-photo quantity, then more images can be shared, but the sharing process becomes more complex and requires multiple operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary synthesis processing automatically in the background before the actual sharing operation. When images are selected, the system proactively combines them into a single synthesized image file, so that when the user initiates sharing, the process is already complete and ready for immediate upload. This eliminates the need for multiple separate sharing operations and reduces the time required for sharing large quantities of images.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides self-service by automatically detecting when the selected image quantity exceeds the platform limit and initiating synthesis processing without requiring user intervention. The system manages the entire process of combining multiple images into a shareable format automatically, freeing the user from manual operations and reducing sharing time.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide an image sharing method and apparatus, and a terminal device. The image sharing method of the present invention includes: obtaining an image selected from a gallery by a user, and using the image selected from the gallery by the user as a to-be-shared image, where a quantity of the to-be-shared images is greater than a single-time maximum shareable-photo quantity allowed by a target sharing platform; and performing synthesis processing on at least two images of the to-be-shared images according to the single-time maximum shareable-photo quantity allowed by the target sharing platform, to obtain a processed to-be-shared image, where a quantity of the processed to-be-shared images is less than or equal to the single-time maximum shareable-photo quantity allowed by the target sharing platform. This resolves a problem that a quantity of to-be-shared images is limited, and increases a quantity of images to be shared to the target sharing platform.
