Solution Overview

Problem

Existing slide show technologies do not differentiate between the display time intervals of images photographed in continuous and general photographing modes, leading to a less vivid presentation.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that differentiate the display time intervals for images photographed in continuous and general photographing modes, with images from continuous modes displayed for a shorter interval and those from general modes for a longer interval, allowing for a more vivid slide show experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If images from continuous and general photographing modes are displayed with the same time interval, then the slide show function is simple to implement, but the visual impact and vividness of the slide show deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveslide show function complexityVSAvoidvisual impact
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating display time intervals based on the photographing mode of each image. Images from continuous photographing mode are displayed for a first time interval, while images from general photographing mode are displayed for a second time interval. This creates localized variations in display duration according to the specific characteristics of each image group, enhancing visual impact without requiring complete system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of operation

If images from continuous photographing mode are displayed with the same time interval as general mode images, then the slide show function is easy to operate, but the presentation vividness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveslide show operation simplicityVSAvoidpresentation quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamics by making the display time interval adaptive rather than static. The slide show function dynamically adjusts the display duration based on metadata associated with each image that indicates whether it was captured in continuous or general photographing mode. This dynamic adjustment enhances presentation quality while maintaining operational simplicity through automatic detection and adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of manufacture

If uniform time intervals are used for all images in the slide show, then the implementation is straightforward, but the ability to vividly capture motion in continuous photographing mode is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation easeVSAvoidmotion capture effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the display time interval parameter based on the photographing mode. Images from continuous photographing mode, which capture motion sequences, are displayed for a shorter first time interval to maintain pacing and vividness. Images from general photographing mode are displayed for a longer second time interval. This parameter differentiation enhances motion capture effectiveness while keeping the implementation straightforward through automatic mode detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Provided is a method of providing a slide show. The method includes determining whether a first image to be displayed is an image photographed in a continuous photographing mode, when the first image is an image photographed in the continuous photographing mode, displaying the first image for a first time interval, and when the first image is not an image photographed in the continuous photographing mode, displaying the first image for a second time interval, wherein the first time interval and the second time interval are different from each other. The first time interval may be shorter than the second time interval.
