Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inconvenience and time-consuming manual editing when changing display wallpapers across multiple displays with mismatched resolutions, and finding similar styled wallpapers for multiple displays is tedious.

Innovation Solution

An electronic apparatus and method that uses an image restoration model to augment an original image to a target resolution based on display layout and specifications, then crops it to generate wallpapers that match each display's resolution and layout.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If manual image editing is used to match image resolution with screen resolution, then wallpaper display quality is improved, but user time and convenience are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewallpaper display qualityVSAvoiduser time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects display specifications and performs image processing without user intervention. The electronic apparatus self-services by obtaining display resolution, augmenting the original image to match the target resolution, and generating wallpapers automatically, eliminating the need for manual editing while maintaining high display quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Manual image editing operations are replaced by an automated image restoration model. The mechanical process of manual cropping, resizing, and formatting is substituted with an intelligent system that automatically augments images to target resolution based on detected display specifications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If users search for multiple similar styled images for multiple displays, then wallpaper variety is improved, but time consumption and operational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewallpaper varietyVSAvoidoperational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the wallpaper generation process into automated steps: detecting individual display specifications, determining target resolutions for each display, and generating customized wallpapers for each screen. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple displays with different resolutions efficiently, providing wallpaper variety without requiring users to manually search for multiple images

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A single original image is universally processed to generate wallpapers for multiple different displays. The image restoration model universally applies augmentation techniques to adapt one source image to various target resolutions and display configurations, eliminating the need for users to search for multiple separate images

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Productivity

If automated image augmentation is used to generate wallpapers, then user convenience and time efficiency are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewallpaper generation efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

An image restoration model serves as an intermediary between the original image and the final wallpaper output. This intermediary component handles the complex task of image augmentation, translating the original image into multiple target resolutions while maintaining quality. The intermediary absorbs the system complexity, keeping the user interface simple and efficient

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

An electronic apparatus and a wallpaper generation method thereof are provided. The method includes the following steps. An original image is obtained. An arrangement layout position and a display specification parameter of a plurality of display apparatuses are detected. A target image resolution is determined according to the arrangement layout position and the display specification parameter of each of the display apparatuses. The original image is augmented into a target augmented image having the target image resolution using an image restoration model. A wallpaper displayed at each of the display apparatuses is generated by cropping the target augmented image.
