Object-Scanning Image Shortcuts for Messaging Interfaces
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing messaging systems require multiple user inputs and interactions to apply various functions to image data, leading to a less engaging user experience.
Innovation Solution
Implementing shortcuts that combine individual functions, allowing users to apply them with a single gesture, and displaying icons for these shortcuts in different user interfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple individual functions are applied to image data in a messaging system, then the functionality and versatility are improved, but the complexity of operation and user interaction increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple individual functions (such as filtering, sticker application, text overlay, and transformation) into a single integrated shortcut function. This allows users to apply complex image modifications with a single interaction rather than sequentially applying multiple separate functions, thereby maintaining versatility while dramatically simplifying operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The shortcut mechanism serves as a universal interface that can trigger multiple different functions or function combinations based on user selection. A single shortcut button can perform diverse operations including applying predefined filters, adding stickers, inserting text, or transforming images, making the system both versatile and easy to operate.
2Measurement precision
If multiple user inputs are required to apply functions to image data, then the precision of function application is improved, but the time consumption and productivity decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures multiple functions into ready-to-execute shortcut packages before the user needs them. These shortcuts are prepared in advance with specific function combinations (filters, stickers, text, transformations) already defined, allowing users to apply complex image modifications with a single gesture without manually configuring each function step-by-step, thus maintaining precision while dramatically improving efficiency.
3Measurement precision
If individual functions are applied separately to image data, then the control and precision of each function are improved, but the device complexity and interface complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual function controls into a single shortcut interface element. Instead of requiring separate controls for filters, stickers, text, and transformations, the system presents unified shortcut buttons that encapsulate these functions, reducing interface complexity while preserving the ability to apply each function with precision through the shortcut mechanism.

AI summary
Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for presenting shortcuts based on a scan operation. The program and method provide for receiving a user request to identify at least one object depicted in an image captured by a device camera; determining, in response to receiving the user request, an attribute of an object depicted in the image; selecting, from a plurality of shortcuts for performing with respect to the image, a shortcut that is associated with the attribute of the object, each shortcut of the plurality of shortcuts corresponding to a combination of individual functions to apply to the image; and causing display of an interface with a user-selectable element for performing the selected shortcut with respect to the image.
