On-Screen Display Menu Positioning for Image Clarity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices with on-screen display (OSD) menus for photo/video viewing are inconvenient as they either obscure important image information or require frequent manual hiding/showing, disrupting the user's viewing experience, especially during fine operations like local focusing or adjusting exposure.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method and electronic device that analyzes image information to determine the position of unimportant areas for displaying the OSD menu, allowing it to be shown without obstructing important content, and allows user-adjustment of its position and size via touch inputs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the OSD menu is displayed to facilitate user operations, then ease of operation is improved, but the menu obscures important image information reducing measurement precision
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making different regions of the display have different properties. The OSD menu is rendered with semi-transparency specifically in regions where it overlaps with important image information, while maintaining full opacity in less critical areas. This allows the menu to remain visible and operational while reducing obstruction of important content in specific local regions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes color changes and transparency adjustments to resolve the contradiction. By modifying the alpha channel (transparency) of the OSD menu based on the underlying image content, the system dynamically adjusts how much the menu obscures important information. This allows the menu to be displayed without completely blocking the view of critical image details.
2Measurement precision
If the OSD menu is made semi-transparent to reduce obstruction, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to reduced visibility of menu content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making different regions of the display have different properties. The OSD menu is rendered with semi-transparency specifically in regions where it overlaps with important image information, while maintaining full opacity in less critical areas. This allows the menu to remain visible and operational while reducing obstruction of important content in specific local regions.
Solution Approach 2:

By modifying the alpha channel (transparency) of the OSD menu based on the underlying image content, the system dynamically adjusts how much the menu obscures important information. This allows the menu to be displayed without completely blocking the view of critical image details.
3Measurement precision
If the OSD menu is hidden automatically to improve viewing experience, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation worsens due to frequent manual operations required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by implementing automatic menu management based on detected user behavior patterns. The system monitors user interactions and automatically adjusts menu visibility and positioning without requiring explicit user commands. This allows the menu to remain accessible when needed while automatically retreating from important image areas, eliminating the need for frequent manual hide/show operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by making the OSD menu position and transparency dynamically adjustable based on real-time analysis of image content and user interaction patterns. The menu automatically repositions itself to minimize obstruction of important information while remaining accessible for user operations, creating a dynamic balance between viewing quality and operational ease.
4Device complexity
If the OSD menu is displayed in fixed position to simplify implementation, then device complexity is reduced, but measurement precision deteriorates due to unavoidable obstruction of important content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the OSD menu position and transparency dynamically adjustable based on real-time analysis of image content and user interaction patterns. The menu automatically repositions itself to minimize obstruction of important information while remaining accessible for user operations, creating a dynamic balance between viewing quality and operational ease.
Solution Approach 2:

The OSD menu is rendered with semi-transparency specifically in regions where it overlaps with important image information, while maintaining full opacity in less critical areas.
