Template Selection for Image Arrangement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in selecting an appropriate template for arranging images due to the time-consuming process of switching through multiple templates to find a matching layout, as existing solutions do not efficiently facilitate comparison and selection.
Innovation Solution
A display device that selects and arranges images on multiple templates based on feature information such as capture date and time, and location, allowing users to easily compare and select the most suitable template by displaying the arranged images side-by-side.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually switch through multiple templates to find a matching layout, then they can select an appropriate template, but it takes much time and effort
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically selecting multiple candidate templates based on image feature information (such as vertical/horizontal orientation) before the user needs to choose. This eliminates the need for users to manually switch through templates one by one, as the suitable templates are pre-selected and displayed for comparison.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates preview copies of the selected image arranged on multiple different templates simultaneously. Instead of requiring users to sequentially view each template, the system generates and displays multiple template preview copies at once, allowing users to compare and select the most suitable template efficiently.
2Ease of operation
If the system displays multiple templates with arranged images, then users can easily compare and select, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The template selection unit is designed to handle multiple functions: it automatically selects templates based on image features, arranges images on multiple templates, generates previews, and displays them for comparison. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require separate components into a single integrated unit, managing complexity while enabling comprehensive template comparison capabilities.
3Productivity
If the system automatically selects templates based on feature information, then template selection efficiency improves, but the adaptability to user preferences may decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The template selection system operates dynamically by first automatically selecting candidate templates based on objective image features (such as vertical/horizontal orientation), then allowing users to review and select from these pre-selected options. This dynamic two-stage process combines automated efficiency with user preference adaptability, as users can still choose their preferred template from the automatically filtered candidates.

AI summary
A display device includes an image selection unit that selects an image to be processed, a storage unit that stores a plurality of templates including an arrangement area on which the image is arranged, a template selection unit that selects a first template and a second template from the plurality of templates based on the selected image, an arrangement unit that arranges the selected image on the arrangement area of the first template and arranges the selected image on the arrangement area of the second template, and a display control unit that causes a display unit to display the first template after the arrangement of the image and the second template after the arrangement of the image.
