Mobile Data Distribution via Image Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data distribution systems are not suitable for mobile terminal devices with small display screens and limited processing performance and memory capacity, as they struggle to display HTML images efficiently and cannot render content in foreign languages without appropriate font data.
Innovation Solution
A data distribution system that divides subject data into multiple areas based on the display screen size, producing display data including image and position information, which is then distributed to the mobile device for efficient rendering, allowing for the display of arbitrary images without relying on the device's performance limitations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If HTML data is processed and displayed on mobile terminal devices, then content can be displayed on small screens, but processing load becomes too heavy for devices with limited CPU and memory capacity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the HTML data into multiple segments and generates corresponding image data for each segment. This segmentation allows the mobile device to process and display smaller portions of data at a time, reducing the processing load on the device's CPU and memory while still enabling complete content display.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary processing of HTML data into image data before it reaches the mobile device. By pre-processing and preparing the data in advance, the actual display process on the mobile device requires minimal processing power, as the heavy lifting is done beforehand.
2Ease of manufacture
If HTML data is processed on display devices, then images can be generated, but foreign language content cannot be displayed without appropriate font data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of the HTML data in the form of image data that captures the visual appearance of the content. This image copy includes rendered text in the target language, allowing the mobile device to display foreign language content without requiring the device to have the original font data or processing capability for that language.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces image data as an intermediary between the HTML data and the display on mobile devices. This intermediary format translates the language-specific content into visual images that can be universally displayed on any mobile device regardless of its language support or font capabilities.
3Loss of information
If complete HTML data is transmitted to mobile devices, then full content can be displayed, but data transmission becomes inefficient for small display screens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the HTML data into multiple smaller data units, each corresponding to a specific portion of the content. This segmentation allows the system to transmit only the necessary amount of data for the current display view, reducing overall data transmission volume while maintaining content completeness through sequential loading of segments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transmits partial image data corresponding to specific display areas rather than the complete HTML data. This partial action approach optimizes data transmission by sending only the necessary information for the current view, reducing transmission volume while still providing complete content as needed.
Data Source
AI summary
An object of the present invention is to provide a data distribution system which is suitable to distribute data to a mobile terminal device and the like to cause the mobile terminal device and the like to display an image, and a method therefor. In response to a request from a mobile communication device (2) through a web page distribution server (5), a web server (12) distributes document data shown in FIG. 2 to the web page distribution server (5). The web page distribution server (5) creates an image of the distributed document data, and divides the created image into a plurality of areas to thereby create divided area data. In response to the request from the mobile communication device (2), the webpage distribution server (5) sequentially distributes such components of the created divided area data as are to be actually displayed, to the mobile communication device (2). The mobile communication device (2) sequentially displays the divided area data distributed from the web page distribution server (5).
