Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for inserting and editing images on mobile devices are limited in providing detailed information and resolution, making it cumbersome to tag specific parts of images or magnify certain features, such as automobile components, which requires separate identification and additional materials.

Innovation Solution

A method for generating and editing object-inserted images by determining positions for inserting objects into a main image, allowing multiple objects to be inserted at different depths, using a mobile computing device with control and display modules to minimize touch input and optimize the process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If tagging or magnification methods are used to provide detailed information about image parts, then information detail is improved, but operation complexity increases and information completeness remains limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation detailVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a copy of the selected image region and inserts it as an object within the original image. This copied object can be interacted with separately (e.g., tapped to expand) while maintaining the context of the original image, thus providing detailed information without requiring separate lookup operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a nested structure where an image object is inserted into the main image, and this inserted object can itself contain further interactive elements or expand to show additional details. This nested arrangement allows multiple levels of information access within a single image structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Loss of information

If separate identification and additional materials are used for detailed information, then information completeness is improved, but device complexity and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the main image and detailed information objects into a single composite image structure. The detailed information is not stored separately but is integrated as insertable objects within the image itself, reducing the need for separate identification systems and additional material management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The inserted image object serves multiple functions: it acts as both a visual element within the main image and as an interactive container for detailed information. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate systems to handle both display and information retrieval.

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

3Manufacturing precision

If multiple touch inputs are required for generating and editing object-inserted images, then positioning precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning precisionVSAvoidinput simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides template-based insertion and automatic positioning options that perform the positioning action in advance or automatically, reducing the number of user inputs required. Users can select from pre-defined insertion points or patterns rather than manually specifying each coordinate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system includes automatic alignment and positioning features that self-adjust the inserted object's position based on the main image content. The system performs positioning calculations and adjustments automatically, reducing reliance on multiple precise user inputs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The present disclosure in some embodiments provides a method of generating an object-inserted image. A method in some embodiments is performed by an electronic device for inserting one or more objects into a main image to generate an object-inserted image, including determining a first position for inserting a second object into the main image in response to a user input, and identifying whether a first object is absent or present as a preinserted object at the first position in the main image, and inserting the second object at the first position in the main image when the first object is absent, and inserting the second object at a second position in the first object based on a user selection when the first object is present.
