Solution Overview

Problem

Current image-to-image generation technologies lack operational flexibility, constraining users to limited style options and non-real-time effects, which restrict creative expression and compatibility with other effects.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that allow users to customize image styles through adjustable parameters and graphic elements, enabling further editing and real-time application of styles on images.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If generative models apply fixed styles to source images, then image style transfer is achieved, but user operational flexibility and creative control are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser operational flexibilityVSAvoidstyle customization capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms fixed, static style application into a dynamic system where users can adjust style parameters in real-time. The interface allows continuous modification of style intensity, mixing ratios, and application strength, enabling the style transfer process to adapt to user preferences rather than forcing users to adapt to predetermined styles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces multiple adjustable parameters including style intensity, mixing ratio, and application strength that users can modify to customize the style transfer outcome. These parameter adjustments enable fine-grained control over the generated images, allowing users to achieve precise creative effects by tuning specific style attributes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If style application is performed as a final non-editable step, then image generation is completed, but real-time adjustment and further editing capabilities are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage generation efficiencyVSAvoidreal-time editing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements real-time, dynamic style adjustment where users can modify style parameters after the initial style transfer and continue editing the generated image. This dynamic editing capability allows users to refine results without restarting the generation process, maintaining productivity while enabling continuous optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary style transfer to generate an initial result, then maintains the generated image in an editable state with style parameters accessible for adjustment. This preliminary action followed by continued editing allows the system to provide both efficient initial generation and flexible subsequent refinement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If fixed style options are provided, then implementation complexity is reduced, but creative expression and style versatility are constrained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface complexityVSAvoidstyle option diversity
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is designed as a universal control system that can accommodate multiple style types and parameters through a unified adjustment mechanism. Rather than creating separate interfaces for different styles, the system provides a multi-functional control panel that adapts to various style parameters, maintaining interface simplicity while supporting diverse style options.

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

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for obtaining a stylized image, a computing device, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product. The method includes: displaying a first interface, where the first interface includes an image with a style and a graphic element for triggering editing of the style, and the image with the style is generated by applying the style to a source image; displaying a second interface in response to receiving a selection of the graphic element, where the second interface includes at least one operating area for adjusting the style; receiving a user operation within the at least one operating area to adjust the style; and obtaining an image with the adjusted style in response to receiving confirmation of the user operation.
