Swipe Shift Photo Browsing With Embedded Transition Effects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Still images often fail to capture the essence or artistic effect of a moment, and traditional photo browsing methods lack the dynamic engagement of moving pictures or videos in conveying memories.
Innovation Solution
The development of an apparatus and method for swipe shift photo browsing, which integrates transition data into image files, allowing users to swipe through images with synchronized transitions that include editing effects, sequence playback, and location-based views, enhancing the browsing experience by seamlessly blending original and edited images or videos.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If still images are used for photo browsing, then the browsing experience is simple and easy to operate, but the dynamic engagement and ability to capture the essence of a moment is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges still images with video clips to create hybrid photo objects that combine the simplicity of image browsing with the dynamic engagement of video. Each photo object contains both an image portion and an associated video clip, allowing users to browse simply while experiencing dynamic content when interactions occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic elements to photo browsing by associating video clips with still images. The photo objects can transition between static display modes and dynamic playback modes, enabling the system to adapt between simplicity and engagement based on user interaction.
2Adaptability or versatility
If video footage is used instead of still images, then the dynamic engagement and ability to convey action is improved, but the ease of browsing and operation becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments video content into discrete video clips associated with individual photo objects. This segmentation allows video functionality to be integrated into a photo browsing interface, maintaining simplicity while adding dynamic engagement where needed.
3Ease of operation
If traditional photo browsing methods are used, then the operation is simple, but the ability to convey artistic effects and memorable moments is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines still images with associated video clips and editing effects within unified photo objects. This merging preserves the simplicity of photo browsing while recovering lost artistic effects and memorable moments through the integrated video and effect data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-processing images and videos to extract meaningful content and create photo objects with embedded editing effects and associated metadata. This preliminary processing enables the system to automatically convey artistic effects without requiring extensive user manipulation during browsing.
4Loss of information
If editing effects are applied to images, then the artistic effect and memorable moment conveyance is improved, but the device complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies editing effects as preliminary actions during the photo object creation process. By pre-processing images and videos to embed editing effects and extract meaningful content beforehand, the system reduces processing complexity during actual browsing operations.

AI summary
A method and apparatus for swipe shift photo browsing, wherein a first image is displayed on a touch sensitive display, a transition for the first image and an adjacent image is automatically created or determined, a swipe gesture of the user is recognized with the touch sensitive display,and the image shown on the display is shifted. The shifting comprises displaying the transition of the first image and of a second image synchronized with the speed and direction of the swipe, wherein the second image is the adjacent image.
