Responsive Image Generation via Virtual Layer Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image playback technologies do not allow for interactive engagement, as they play back images unilaterally without responding to user input, limiting the viewer's sensory experience to only visual feedback.
Innovation Solution
A method and program that generate a responsive image by connecting user input operations to specific regions of image frames, creating virtual layers with detailed cells to match the motion of objects within the image, allowing the image to respond to user interactions such as movement, touch, and intensity, thereby enhancing the viewer's engagement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If image playback is provided unilaterally without user interaction, then the playback process is simple, but the viewer's sensory experience is limited to only visual feedback
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by connecting user input operations to specific regions of image frames, where the image responds to user interactions such as movement, touch, and intensity. This creates a responsive playback experience that provides both visual and tactile feedback, resolving the contradiction between operational simplicity and sensory experience richness.
2Loss of information
If the entire first image is played back, then complete visual information is provided, but storage capacity is wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the first image into multiple playback ranges, each corresponding to a specific region or object of interest. Only the relevant playback ranges are stored and played back based on user input operations, rather than storing the entire image. This segmentation approach provides complete visual information for relevant regions while significantly reducing storage capacity requirements.
3Measurement precision
If a virtual layer with detailed cells is generated to match object motion, then user interaction precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by generating virtual layers with detailed cells only in specific regions where objects are located or move, rather than across the entire image. The virtual layer's cell density and detail are localized to areas of interest, improving input operation precision for object interaction while reducing overall device complexity compared to a fully detailed virtual layer.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and program for generating a responsive image is provided. The method includes obtaining, by a computer, a first image, receiving, by the computer, an input for specifying a specific playback range, and specifying playback range, the playback range corresponding to an entire interval or a partial interval in the first image, connecting, by the computer, a specific input operation to an entire region or a specific region of one or more image frames included in the playback range. The input operation adjusts movement of the image frames in the playback range and corresponds to motion of an object of the playback range in the first image. The computer connects an image captured by a typical image capture device to a specific input operation such that a user feels as if the image detects and responds to his or her input operation upon playback.
