Solution Overview

Problem

Existing picture sharing methods do not allow users to receive the original picture and re-edit it, and the shared content is limited to single additions made by the user.

Innovation Solution

A picture sharing method where an electronic device creates a bubble displaying information associated with the image content of a to-be-shared picture, and shares this information along with the picture, allowing the receiving device to display the bubble and edit the picture accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If the user edits the picture and adds comments before sharing, then the shared user can receive the edited picture with comments, but the shared user cannot receive the original picture and re-edit the original picture

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoriginal picture informationVSAvoidre-editing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the picture sharing process into two independent parts: the original picture data and the editing information (bubble). The bubble contains all editing operations as separate data structures that can be independently transmitted and applied, allowing the receiver to access both the original picture and the editing instructions without loss of information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The bubble acts as an intermediary carrier that transmits editing information between the sender and receiver. It serves as a mediator that preserves the original picture data while adding editable content, enabling the receiver to retrieve the original picture and re-apply edits without losing any information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If the user adds content to the picture during editing, then the shared user receives the edited picture, but the content added is single and limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent varietyVSAvoidcontent flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The bubble is designed as a dynamic container that can hold multiple types of content (text, images, videos, audio) and support various editing operations. The content within the bubble is not fixed but can be dynamically added, modified, or removed based on user needs, providing versatile and flexible content options.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The bubble serves multiple functions: it can contain different types of content (text, images, videos, audio), support various editing operations (add, delete, move, resize), and adapt to different sharing scenarios. This multi-functionality allows unlimited content variety and flexibility rather than being limited to a single content type.

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

AI summary

When sharing a picture with another user or device, an intelligent terminal like a mobile phone or a tablet computer may generate one or more photo bubbles based on image content in the to-be-shared picture. The bubbles carry information associated with the image content of the picture. The associated information is, for example, an introduction to the image content, another picture or video or news information that includes the image content, source information of the picture, a travel scheme generated based on a geographical location in the picture and a location in which an electronic device is located, and picture-related information entered by a user.
