Solution Overview

Problem

Current image processing methods for text replacement on electronic devices require manual smearing of original text and limited font and color selection, leading to inaccurate smearing and inconsistent display effects, making the editing process complex and rigid.

Innovation Solution

An image processing method that identifies a text region on a target image, trains a font style model, and replaces the original text with user-input text matching the original font style, ensuring seamless integration and consistent display.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If manual smearing operation is performed to remove original text, then text replacement can be realized, but the operation complexity increases and smearing accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetext replacement capabilityVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic text region identification and smearing operations without requiring manual user intervention. The electronic device automatically detects text regions, determines smearing parameters, and executes the smearing process, eliminating the need for users to manually smear text while maintaining accurate text removal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual mechanical smearing operation is replaced by an automated image processing system that uses algorithmic text region detection and automatic smearing execution. This substitution transforms the manual mechanical process into an automated computational process, improving both ease of operation and smearing accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of manufacture

If manual smearing operation is performed to remove original text, then text replacement can be realized, but smearing precision deteriorates due to difficulty in controlling smearing range

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetext replacement capabilityVSAvoidsmearing precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses feedback mechanisms where the text region identification results are used to automatically determine and adjust smearing parameters. The identified text region boundaries provide feedback that guides the smearing operation to precisely cover only the text areas, ensuring accurate text removal without affecting surrounding image content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The imprecise manual smearing process is replaced by an automated system that uses image processing algorithms to precisely identify text regions and calculate optimal smearing parameters. This substitution enables precise control over the smearing range, ensuring that only the text regions are affected while maintaining high smearing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Productivity

If only default set font and color are selected for replacement text, then text replacement can be completed, but display effect consistency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetext replacement efficiencyVSAvoiddisplay effect consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by analyzing the specific font and color characteristics of the original text in the identified text region and applying these same characteristics to the replacement text. This ensures that the replacement text matches the local visual properties of the original text, achieving display effect consistency while maintaining efficient automated text replacement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes the font and color parameters of the replacement text to match the original text characteristics. By automatically extracting and applying the original text's font type, size, and color parameters, the system ensures display effect consistency while maintaining high text replacement efficiency through automated parameter adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Ease of operation

If automated text region identification is implemented, then operation convenience improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation convenienceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic device integrates multiple functions including text region identification, smearing parameter determination, and smearing execution within a single unified system. This multi-functionality allows the device to perform automated text replacement operations without requiring separate specialized components, improving operation convenience while managing device complexity through functional integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
