Moving Image Reproduction Object Grouping Layout
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing moving image reproduction technologies fail to maintain the relationship between objects when enlarging specific parts of a moving image, leading to unclear narratives in scenarios like interactions between individuals.
Innovation Solution
A moving image reproducing apparatus and method that includes a tracking unit to detect objects, a change unit to adjust magnification, and decision units to group objects based on proximity and decide screen divisions, ensuring the relationship between objects is preserved during enlargement and reproduction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If an object in one of the screens divided for the respective objects is enlarged and reproduced, then the facial expression of the object becomes clear, but the relation between the objects becomes unclear
Solution Approach 1:
The screen is divided into multiple divided screens, with each divided screen displaying a different object from the moving image. This segmentation allows each object to be enlarged and displayed clearly in its own divided screen while maintaining the ability to see all objects simultaneously, thus preserving the relationship between objects while achieving clear facial expressions.
2Measurement precision
If the screen is divided for respective objects, then individual objects can be enlarged clearly, but the overall composition and story of the moving image becomes unclear
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a single two-dimensional screen to a multi-dimensional display arrangement with multiple divided screens. This dimensional change allows the system to simultaneously present both individual object details (through enlargement in separate divided screens) and the overall composition (by arranging divided screens in a spatial configuration that preserves their relative positions and relationships).

AI summary
A moving image reproducing apparatus is capable of enlarging and reproducing respective objects while keeping relation between the objects in a moving image. A first obtaining unit obtains position information about objects detected by a tracking unit. A calculation unit calculates distances between the objects based on the position information. A first decision unit decides a group to which each of the objects belongs based on a period during which the calculated distance is less than a threshold. A second decision unit decides a division number of a screen of a target frame corresponding to the number of groups. A selection unit selects a layout structure having divided screens corresponding to the division number. A third decision unit decides a layout of the groups to the divided screens of the selected layout structure. A reproduction unit reproduces the moving image while changing the target frame into the decided layout.
