Information Code Image Display System with Segmented Area Identification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When an information code is applied to only a part of a base image, it can be difficult for users to identify the area where the code is applied, leading to unclear visualization and reduced convenience.
Innovation Solution
An information code image display system that includes an area specifying part, an image generation part, and a display controller, which generates and displays a base-image-attached information code image alongside a remaining image, allowing users to clearly identify the applied area by showing the original base image with the specified area excluded.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If an information code is applied to only a part of a base image, then the information code can be applied more selectively to specific areas, but the area to which the information code is applied becomes unclear to users
Solution Approach 1:
The display is segmented into two distinct parts: the base-image-attached information code image showing the coded area, and the remaining image showing the uncoded area. This segmentation allows users to clearly distinguish where the information code has been applied by comparing the two segmented views side by side.
Solution Approach 2:
The remaining image acts as an intermediary element that bridges the gap between the coded and uncoded areas. By displaying the remaining image (base image with the conversion target area excluded) alongside the base-image-attached information code image, users can understand the spatial relationship and identify the coded area through this intermediary reference.
2Reliability
If an information code is applied to the entire base image, then the coverage is complete, but important features like street names and facility names may become unclear or erased
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the information code application to only the necessary conversion target area rather than the entire base image. This selective segmentation preserves important features in the remaining image while still providing complete information code coverage in the target area.
Solution Approach 2:
The information code is applied with local quality - only to the specific conversion target area where it is needed, rather than uniformly across the entire base image. This local application maintains the clarity and visibility of important features in other areas of the base image.
3Manufacturing precision
If the information code is applied to a limited area, then the application precision is improved, but the user convenience deteriorates due to unclear area identification
Solution Approach 1:
The display is divided into segmented views that precisely show where the information code is applied. This segmentation maintains application precision while improving user convenience by making the coded area visually identifiable through the side-by-side comparison with the remaining image.
Solution Approach 2:
The remaining image serves as an intermediary that enhances user convenience by providing a clear reference for identifying the coded area. Users can easily understand where the information code has been applied by comparing the base-image-attached information code image with the remaining image that shows the uncoded portion.

AI summary
An information code image display system includes an area specifying part, an image generation part, and a display controller. The area specifying part specifies an area as a conversion target area, the area being a part of a base image displayed in a display area of a display part. The image generation part generates a base-image-attached information code image by applying an information code to a conversion target image corresponding to the conversion target area. The display controller displays in the display part the base-image-attached information code image and a remaining image obtained by excluding an image of the conversion target area from the base image.
