Information Processing Device Moving Image Overlay Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing devices lack a user-friendly interface for changing the reproducing position of a moving image when it is overlaid on a different image, limiting user interaction and control.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device with a moving image display control section that overlays a moving image in a subdisplay region and an image string display control section that arrays and displays thumbnail images from the moving image, allowing users to change the reproducing position of the moving image within a predetermined region, thereby enhancing user control and interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a moving image is overlaid on a whole image in a small region, then simultaneous browsing of different images is enabled, but the user interface for changing reproducing position is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the display region into a main display region for the whole image and a subdisplay region for the moving image. Additionally, it segments the subdisplay region's control interface into thumbnail images (image strings) that can be independently selected, allowing users to change reproducing positions without affecting the main image display.
2Area of stationary object
If a moving image is displayed in a predetermined region, then the main image display is maintained, but user interaction for position control is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds a temporal dimension to position control by displaying multiple thumbnail images representing different time points in the moving image. Users can navigate through these thumbnails to select desired reproducing positions, transforming a one-dimensional position control into a two-dimensional interaction (spatial position + temporal position).

AI summary
Provided is an information processing device that, while displaying an image, displays a moving image of interest different from the image in a predetermined region inside a display region in which the image is being displayed, and, according to an instruction by a user, arrays and displays, inside the display region, an image string including a plurality of frame images extracted from the moving image of interest, and that displays the image string at a position determined according to the predetermined region inside the display region.
