Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic devices lack the ability to provide filters generated by the camera or image editing application developers, limiting user choice and atmosphere customization in image editing.

Innovation Solution

The electronic device includes a processor and memory configured to display multiple images, select a reference image, identify properties, generate a filter based on those properties, apply the filter to an original image, and store it for future use.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If filters are provided only from external sources (not generated by camera/image editing applications), then user choice and atmosphere customization are limited, but device complexity and processing requirements are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilter variety and customizationVSAvoidfilter generation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The camera application and image editing application generate their own filters using images captured or edited by the applications themselves. The filter generation unit extracts image properties from images processed by these applications and automatically creates filters based on those properties, enabling the applications to serve their own filter generation needs without external sources

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The filter generation unit is integrated into both the camera application and image editing application, allowing the same filter generation capability to serve multiple purposes: generating filters during photo capture and generating filters during image editing. This multi-functional approach provides diverse filter options across different application contexts

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

AI summary

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, a processor functionally connected with the display, and a memory functionally connected with the processor. The memory stores instructions configured to, when executed, enable the processor to display a first image through the display, display one or more second images through the display while displaying the first image, select a third image from among the one or more second images, identify a value of at least one property of the third image, generate a filter for applying the value of the at least one property to an image, apply the value of the at least one property to the first image using the filter, display the first image, to which the value of the at least one property is applied, through the display, and store the filter in the memory.
