Image Processing Cursor Styles for Semantic Task Differentiation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users often fail to accurately obtain desired information from images due to the lack of clear differentiation between various image processing tasks performed on the images, leading to erroneous operations.
Innovation Solution
A cursor display method that distinguishes between different image processing tasks by displaying cursors in distinct styles based on the semantic type of the image area, indicating the specific task to be performed, and enabling operations through associated terminal devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple image processing tasks are performed on an image to obtain various information, then the quantity of obtainable information increases, but the user cannot accurately obtain the desired information due to lack of clear differentiation between task types
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by displaying different cursor styles in different image areas based on the semantic type of each area. Text areas show one cursor style while image areas show another, providing localized visual differentiation that helps users identify the type of information available in each specific region of the image.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses visual differentiation through cursor style changes (analogous to color changes) to indicate different task types. By changing the appearance of the cursor based on the underlying semantic type of the image area, the system provides clear visual feedback to users about what type of information can be obtained from each area.
2Device complexity
If a single cursor style is used for all image areas, then the device complexity is reduced, but users cannot distinguish between different types of image processing tasks
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements local quality by adapting the cursor display to the specific characteristics of different image areas. Instead of using a uniform cursor style throughout, the cursor appearance changes locally based on the semantic type of each image area, providing users with intuitive visual cues about available information types without requiring complex additional interfaces.
3Ease of operation
If different cursor styles are displayed for different image areas, then user operation accuracy improves, but the complexity of the display system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the visual parameters of the cursor (such as shape, color, or style) based on the semantic type of the image area. This allows the system to convey information about different task types through controlled changes in cursor appearance, providing user guidance while maintaining a relatively simple base cursor design.

AI summary
A cursor display method and a related device applicable to the image processing field in the field of artificial intelligence include displaying a cursor on a first image after obtaining the first image on which an image processing task needs to be performed. A cursor in a first style corresponds to an image processing task of a first type, a cursor in a second style corresponds to an image processing task of a second type, the cursor in the first style is different from the cursor in the second style, the image processing task of the first type and the image processing task of the second type are different types of image processing tasks, and a type of the image processing task corresponds to a semantic type of an image area in which the cursor is displayed.
