Terminal Device Image Display Method for Simultaneous Effect Application
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current image-editing applications on terminal devices, such as smartphones, can only perform a single effect process on captured images at a time and require users to switch modes through menus, limiting the ability to easily apply multiple effects simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A terminal device with processing circuitry that converts captured image data into specific pixel sizes and applies multiple effects, displaying these effects simultaneously on a display unit, allowing users to easily switch between and apply various effects without mode changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single effect process is applied to captured images through predetermined settings, then the image processing is simple and fast, but the user cannot easily apply multiple different effects simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is segmented into multiple regions, with each region dedicated to displaying images processed by a different effect. This allows multiple effects to be applied and visualized simultaneously without requiring complex sequential processing, as each effect operates independently on the same captured image data.
Solution Approach 2:
The image processing unit is designed to perform multiple effect processes universally on captured images. Instead of requiring separate processing units for each effect, a single image processing unit applies various effects (e.g., grayscale, sepia, cartoon) to the same input image, enabling multi-functionality without increasing hardware complexity.
2Ease of operation
If users switch between different effect modes through menu screens, then each effect can be applied with proper settings, but the operation becomes complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple effect processes are prepared and configured in advance within the image processing unit. The system pre-loads various effect algorithms and settings, so when a user captures an image, multiple effects are immediately applied without requiring the user to navigate menus or configure settings at the moment of capture.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of switching effects through temporal sequence (one after another via menus), the system displays multiple effects simultaneously in spatial arrangement (side-by-side on the screen). This dimensional change from time-based switching to space-based presentation eliminates the need for menu navigation and allows instant comparison of different effects.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple effect processes are performed on captured images, then the user has more editing options, but the processing load and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple effect processing operations are merged and executed in parallel within the image processing unit. Instead of sequentially applying each effect one after another (which would multiply processing time), the system combines the processing operations to operate simultaneously on the captured image data, maintaining high processing speed while providing multiple effect options.
Data Source
AI summary
Captured or input image data is converted into an image of a size of a specific number of pixels. Then, predetermined plural types of different effects are applied to image data obtained through the conversion. Several types of image data items with the applied effects are arranged and simultaneously displayed.
