Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing technologies face challenges in smoothly updating display regions during scaling operations, leading to potential frame missing issues due to processing power limitations and data size, resulting in a less than ideal viewing experience.
Innovation Solution
An image processing system and method that includes an input information obtaining section, a display image processing section, and a display section, which scales and manipulates the visibility of images within a predetermined region to prioritize the focus area, using techniques such as masking and resolution adjustment to ensure smooth scaling operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If continuous display update processing is performed during display region movement, then smooth display is achieved, but processing load increases causing frame dropping
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the display region into a focus region (center area) and a non-focus region (peripheral area). During scaling operations, the focus region is updated with high priority and higher resolution, while the non-focus region is updated with lower priority or lower resolution. This segmentation allows the system to maintain display smoothness in the important focus area without requiring full-screen high-resolution updates, thus reducing overall processing load and preventing frame dropping.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different quality levels to different regions of the display. The focus region receives high-quality processing with detailed rendering, while the non-focus region uses lower-quality processing. This local quality differentiation ensures that the most visually important area maintains smoothness and clarity, while reducing the processing burden on less critical areas, thereby resolving the contradiction between overall smoothness and processing capacity.
2Manufacturing precision
If the entire image is scaled with high resolution, then image quality is improved, but processing time increases causing frame dropping
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the image into focus and non-focus regions, applying different resolution levels to each. The focus region is rendered at high resolution to maintain image quality where the viewer's attention is concentrated, while the non-focus region is rendered at lower resolution to reduce processing time. This selective resolution approach prevents frame dropping while preserving quality in the most important areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality differentiation by assigning high resolution to the focus region and lower resolution to the non-focus region. This ensures that image quality is optimized where it matters most (in the center focus area) while reducing the overall processing burden, thereby maintaining both image quality and acceptable processing speed without causing frame drops.
3Reliability
If full-screen display updates are performed, then completeness of display is improved, but processing load increases reducing responsiveness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display update process into focus region updates and non-focus region updates. The focus region is updated with high priority and shorter delay, ensuring responsive interaction in the most important area. The non-focus region is updated with lower priority or asynchronously, reducing the critical path processing time. This segmentation maintains essential display completeness while improving perceived responsiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the most critical display update requirements from the full-screen update process and handles them separately with higher priority. The focus region updates are extracted and processed immediately in response to user input, while non-focus region updates are deferred or processed in the background. This extraction approach ensures that the essential display updates remain responsive while maintaining overall display completeness.

AI summary
An image processing device includes: an input information obtaining section for obtaining input information for changing a display region in an image as a display object; a display image processing section for generating an image inside the display region determined on a basis of the input information as a display image; and a display section for displaying the generated display image on a display, wherein when the input information obtaining section obtains input information for scaling the display image, the display image processing section scales the display image according to the input information, and performs image manipulation making visibility of a region in a predetermined range including a focus as a center of scaling in an image plane different from visibility of another region.
