Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic devices struggle to provide clear synthesized images when capturing continuously moving objects or when the device is shaken, leading to unclear wallpaper due to the inability to determine the effectiveness of image synthesis.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method that detect motion objects in continuously captured images, determine their synthesizability by analyzing motion vectors, and provide feedback on whether the images can be effectively synthesized for use as wallpaper, allowing for selective deletion or addition of objects and improved user convenience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If continuously captured images are synthesized without determining effectiveness, then image synthesis function is provided, but clear images cannot be provided when motion objects or device shaking occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage synthesis functionVSAvoidimage quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by detecting motion objects and analyzing motion vectors before performing image synthesis. The system evaluates whether continuously captured images are suitable for synthesis by examining motion characteristics, and only proceeds with synthesis when motion criteria are satisfied, thereby ensuring image quality before the synthesis operation completes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by providing notifications to users about motion detection results and synthesis suitability. The system analyzes motion vectors, determines whether motion objects exceed thresholds, and feeds back this information to guide users on whether to retake images, creating a closed-loop control that improves image quality through iterative refinement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Manufacturing precision

If motion objects are detected and synthesis effectiveness is determined, then high-quality synthesized images are provided, but additional processing steps and user feedback mechanisms are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidprocessing steps
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the image synthesis process into distinct stages: motion object detection, motion vector extraction, synthesis effectiveness determination, and conditional synthesis execution. This modular approach separates complex processing into manageable segments that can be independently optimized and controlled

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by establishing motion vector magnitude thresholds and direction criteria to determine synthesis suitability. The system adjusts processing based on whether motion parameters fall within acceptable ranges, dynamically changing the synthesis operation based on measured physical quantities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
