Location-Aware Image Processing for Complete Life Records
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing methods fail to capture and synthesize images that reflect a user's life record comprehensively, leading to poor user experience when images are not taken in certain scenarios.
Innovation Solution
Obtain location information of the terminal device and images captured during a target time period, synthesize images corresponding to different locations to create a personalized image set, and enhance user experience by arranging images in a time sequence or adding relevant materials.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If images are generated based only on images captured by the terminal device, then the image set can be generated from available data, but the image set cannot completely reflect the user's life record when photos are not taken in certain scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces location information as an intermediary element to bridge the gap between captured images and complete life record reflection. By obtaining location information from the terminal device and matching it with corresponding images (either captured or from other sources), the system creates a comprehensive life record that reflects user activities even when photos are not taken in certain scenarios. This intermediary approach allows the image set to represent complete life events rather than only captured moments.
2Ease of operation
If the terminal device processes all image retrieval and synthesis operations locally, then user experience is improved through personalized processing, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the image retrieval operation from the terminal device and relocates it to the server. The terminal device only performs lightweight operations such as obtaining location information and synthesizing images locally. By taking out the heavy image retrieval task to the server, the system significantly reduces power consumption on the terminal device while maintaining personalized user experience through local synthesis operations.
3Quantity of substance
If the terminal device obtains images from multiple sources including location-based images, then the image set becomes more comprehensive, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the image processing task into distinct phases: image retrieval (performed by the server), image synthesis (performed locally by the terminal device), and result generation. This segmentation divides the complex processing into manageable parts, where the server handles data-intensive retrieval operations and the terminal device handles personalized synthesis operations. The segmentation reduces overall processing complexity by assigning appropriate tasks to different components based on their capabilities.

AI summary
A terminal device obtains an image captured in the target time period to obtain a first image set. The terminal device obtains location information of the image in the first image set, and obtains location information of the terminal device in the target time period. The location information of the terminal device includes a first location point, and the location information of the image does not include the first location point. The terminal device obtains a second image set, where the second image set includes a first image corresponding to the first location point. The terminal device generates a third image set, where the third image set includes the image in the first image set and an image in the second image set. The terminal device displays the third image set.
