Merging General Layers to Preserve Motion Effects in Webtoon Pages
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current content providing systems face challenges in enhancing loading performance and reducing network usage rates, particularly when dealing with webtoons, due to the inefficiencies in managing layers with motion effects and large page sizes.
Innovation Solution
The system merges consecutive layers without motion effects into a single image, applies motion effects to specific layers, and automatically segments pages based on background color areas, reducing resource size and network usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If layers with motion effects are processed individually, then motion effects are preserved, but loading performance deteriorates and network usage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments layers into two categories: general layers without motion effects and specific layers with motion effects. General layers are merged into a single image to improve loading performance, while specific layers are processed individually to preserve motion effects. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by applying different processing strategies to different types of layers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges consecutive general layers into a single image layer, reducing the total number of layers that need to be loaded and processed. This merging improves loading performance and reduces network usage while motion effects are still preserved in the separate specific layers.
2Reliability
If all layers are processed individually, then motion effects are preserved, but network usage rate increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges consecutive general layers into a single image, reducing the quantity of data that needs to be transmitted over the network. This merging reduces network usage rate while motion effects are still preserved in the separate specific layers that are processed individually.
3Manufacturing precision
If page size is large, then content detail is preserved, but loading performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the page into general layers and specific layers, allowing the overall page structure and details to be preserved while reducing the loading burden by merging similar general layers into a single image.
4Productivity
If multiple layers are merged, then loading performance improves, but motion effects are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments layers into general layers without motion effects and specific layers with motion effects. General layers are merged to improve loading performance, while specific layers are processed individually to preserve motion effects, thus resolving the contradiction between merging benefits and motion effect preservation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different processing qualities to different layers: general layers are merged into a single image for efficiency, while specific layers maintain their individual processing to preserve motion effects. This local quality differentiation resolves the contradiction by optimizing each layer type appropriately.

AI summary
A content providing method of a content providing system is executed on at least one computer, and includes configuring a page that includes a plurality of layers, setting a motion effect to be applied to at least one layer among the plurality of layers included in the page, and merging consecutive layers among remaining general layers, excluding a layer to which the motion effect is set from among the plurality of layers included in the page when creating content that includes the page.
