Information Processing System for Unique Content Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods struggle to enable users to easily generate unique new content by simply arranging digital contents, making it difficult to create distinctive content.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that includes a terminal apparatus and an information processing apparatus, where the latter generates combination image data by superimposing received image data onto content image data stored in a database, allowing users to position and combine images within or outside the shape of elements in the content images, and outputs this data for display or printing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If digital contents are simply arranged along a layout, then the process is easy to operate, but the generated content lacks uniqueness and creativity
Solution Approach 1:
The content generation process is segmented into two distinct phases: (1) a template-based layout phase that ensures ease of operation, and (2) an element extraction and recombination phase that generates unique content. The system divides the input image into multiple elements and allows selective extraction and repositioning of these elements within the template framework, thereby achieving both operational simplicity and content uniqueness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a nested structure where extracted elements from the input image are placed inside transparent regions of template elements. This nesting allows the generated content to contain multiple layers of information - the template structure provides the framework while the extracted elements provide unique content, creating a composite image that combines both simplicity and creativity.
2Device complexity
If multiple contents are arranged in a fixed layout, then the structure is simple, but the user cannot generate distinctive new contents
Solution Approach 1:
The system transforms the static layout into a dynamic content generation process. While the template structure remains fixed and simple, the content within it becomes dynamic through automated element extraction, transparency processing, and intelligent recombination. This allows the same simple template to generate infinitely varied unique contents based on different input images.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts specific elements from the input image and creates copies that can be placed within template elements. This copying mechanism allows the system to preserve the simplicity of the template structure while generating distinctive content by selectively copying and repositioning elements from the source image, thereby achieving creativity without increasing structural complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If elements are extracted and combined from input images, then unique content can be generated, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining template structures with transparent regions before the actual content generation. These templates are prepared in advance with specified element positions and transparency masks, which simplifies the subsequent processing. When an input image is provided, the system only needs to extract elements and place them in the pre-defined template positions, reducing the complexity of real-time processing while maintaining content uniqueness.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing system is disclosed. The system includes a terminal apparatus, and an information processing apparatus. In the information processing apparatus, first image data are stored in a first storage device. Second image data are received from the terminal apparatus. Third image data representing a third image is generated for displaying a part of a second image represented by second image data in a region inside or outside a shape of an element included in a first image represented by the first image data. The third image data are output to an output apparatus. In the terminal apparatus, an input is received from a user. The second image data are stored in a second storage device. The second image data are sent to the information processing apparatus.
