Solution Overview

Problem

Existing text editing systems experience delays in user response due to insufficient processing capability when applying textures, leading to impaired usability.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus and method that transitions text between edit and non-edit states, applying textures only after leaving the edit state to avoid lengthy rendering processes during editing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If texture is applied to text during editing, then visual quality is improved, but processing time increases and user response is delayed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual qualityVSAvoiduser response time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies texture to text in advance (before editing) or after editing is complete, so that when the user needs to edit the text, the texture application has already been done or will be done after editing. This preliminary action ensures that visual quality is maintained while avoiding delays during the actual editing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts the application of texture based on the editing state. When the text is in edit mode, texture is not applied to ensure fast response. When editing is complete and the text exits edit mode, texture is then applied to restore visual quality. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction between speed and quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If texture rendering is performed in real time during editing, then visual feedback is improved, but processing capability requirements increase and usability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual feedbackVSAvoidprocessing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs texture rendering in advance or after editing rather than during real-time editing. This preliminary action reduces the processing capability requirements during editing operations while maintaining visual feedback quality in the final output.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically controls texture rendering based on the editing state. During editing, texture rendering is suspended to reduce processing load and improve responsiveness. After editing completes and the text exits edit mode, texture rendering is then performed to provide visual feedback, thus balancing processing capability requirements with visual quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Stability of the object's composition

If texture is applied to all text including during editing, then consistency is maintained, but processing efficiency decreases and user operation is blocked

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetext consistencyVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically adjusts texture application based on the editing state. During editing, texture is not applied to maximize processing efficiency and avoid blocking user operations. After editing completes and the text exits edit mode, texture is then applied to maintain visual consistency. This dynamic approach balances consistency requirements with processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies texture in advance or after editing rather than during editing. This preliminary action ensures that text consistency is maintained in the final output while avoiding the processing efficiency losses that would occur if texture were applied continuously during editing operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An information processing apparatus includes an input unit configured to accept an operation by a user and a processing unit configured to process text in response to the operation. In response to the operation, the apparatus transition to an edit state for editing text or a non-edit state. When an editing operation is performed on text that is a target of application of a texture, the apparatus causes a color of the text to change from a first color to a second color. While the state of the text is the edit state, the apparatus does not apply the texture to the text, and after the state of the text becomes the non-edit state, the apparatus applies the texture to the text.
