Mobile Terminal Image Display Prioritization via Context Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience in finding desired images from a large collection in mobile terminals as existing image classification and display methods require specific gestures and do not utilize context information effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for displaying images in a mobile terminal that selects and preferentially displays images based on information from the phone book and current events, using image processing techniques to extract face images and metadata matching, allowing for context-based image filtering and prioritization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If images are classified and displayed in static order based on location or time, then images are organized systematically, but users experience inconvenience in finding desired images quickly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static image display system into a dynamic one by introducing gesture-based interaction. The display order and content change based on user gestures (swiping, pinching, rotating), allowing users to quickly navigate and find desired images without manual searching through static classifications.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically analyzes gesture input and autonomously reorganizes or filters image display without requiring users to manually search through classified images. The device interprets gestures and independently adjusts the displayed content, saving user time and effort.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple images are displayed in a gallery view, then comprehensive image collection is shown, but users require specific gestures to navigate and find desired images
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the image navigation system dynamic by responding to various gestures. Users can swipe to navigate between images, pinch to zoom, or rotate to change display orientation. This dynamic interaction allows easy navigation through large image collections without requiring specific manual gestures for each operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The gesture-based control system serves multiple functions: navigation, selection, zooming, and filtering. A single gesture interface handles diverse user needs for interacting with multiple images, replacing the need for separate controls for each operation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If images are classified based on location or time information, then images are organized by metadata, but the system does not utilize context information effectively for user needs
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback by analyzing user gestures and automatically adjusting image display based on this input. When users perform specific gestures on certain images, the system learns from this behavior and refines the display order or filtering criteria, making the system adaptable to individual user preferences and context.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-processes image metadata (location, time, contacts) and prepares multiple classification schemes in advance. When users interact with the gallery, the system can quickly switch between different organization methods or filter images based on relevant context without requiring real-time analysis, improving responsiveness.
Data Source
AI summary
An apparatus and method for displaying an image in a mobile terminal are provided. One or more images are selected from among a plurality of pre-stored images, based on information about a party other than the user of the mobile terminal, stored in a phone book, and information about an event that is currently executed in the mobile terminal, and the selected images are preferentially displayed.
