Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image displaying technologies do not effectively analyze and transition between digital images, leading to abrupt changes that disrupt the user experience by lacking a seamless correlation-based transition mechanism.

Innovation Solution

An image displaying apparatus and method that analyze the correlation between current and subsequent images, determining a suitable change effect to apply a smooth transition by utilizing a checker to assess image correlations and a changer to implement the determined effect, ensuring a natural viewing experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If images are displayed sequentially without correlation analysis, then the display switching is simple and fast, but the transition is abrupt and disrupts user experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experience continuityVSAvoidimage transition mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary correlation analysis between the current image and the next image before the transition occurs. The checker component analyzes the correlation between images in advance, and the determiner component determines the appropriate change effect based on this pre-analyzed correlation, enabling smooth transitions without abrupt changes while maintaining manageable system complexity through automated pre-processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary correlation analysis mechanism between the current image display and the next image display. The checker and determiner components act as intermediaries that analyze the relationship between images and select appropriate transition effects, mediating the transition process to ensure continuity and smoothness without requiring complex manual intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If correlation analysis is performed between images, then seamless transition is achieved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransition smoothnessVSAvoidimage processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameter of correlation analysis depth and threshold dynamically. The checker component can adjust the correlation analysis parameters based on image characteristics and user preferences, determining when sufficient correlation has been found to proceed with transition effect determination, thereby optimizing the balance between transition smoothness and processing time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If change effects are applied based on image correlation, then visual flow is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual flow continuityVSAvoidimage processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the image transition system into distinct functional components: a checker component for correlation analysis, a determiner component for change effect selection, and a changer component for actual image transition. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, managing overall system complexity while achieving improved visual flow continuity through coordinated operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
