Solution Overview

Problem

Current touch display devices fail to provide effective feedback on user touch operations, making interactions less intuitive and convenient.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a method and apparatus that determine a touch region on a touch display device, process image features within that region, such as adjusting luminance or chrominance, and display the processed image to provide visual feedback to the user.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If touch display devices are used for human-machine interaction, then interaction simplicity and convenience are improved, but feedback effectiveness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction simplicityVSAvoidfeedback effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements touch feedback by detecting touch operations and dynamically adjusting image features (luminance, chrominance, special effects) in the touched region. This creates a closed-loop feedback system where the display responds to user input, making the interaction more intuitive and effective. The feedback mechanism directly addresses the lack of effective feedback in current touch display devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes display parameters (luminance, chrominance, and other image features) based on touch operation detection. By dynamically adjusting these parameters in the touched region, the system provides visual feedback that enhances user experience. This parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction by maintaining simple touch operation while adding effective feedback through parameter modulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Speed

If image processing is performed in real-time based on touch operations, then feedback responsiveness is improved, but processing time and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback responsivenessVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies image processing only to the specific touched region rather than the entire display. By localizing the processing to the touch region, the system achieves fast feedback responsiveness while minimizing processing time and energy consumption. This local quality approach allows real-time feedback without excessive computational overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs partial image processing only on the necessary touched region rather than processing the entire image. This partial action strategy enables responsive feedback by processing only the minimal required portion of the image, thereby reducing processing time and energy consumption while maintaining effective feedback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple image features are adjusted simultaneously, then feedback richness and user experience are improved, but device complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback richnessVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the image processing into distinct feature adjustments (luminance adjustment, chrominance adjustment, special effects) that can be applied independently to the touched region. This segmentation allows the system to achieve rich feedback by combining multiple features while managing processing complexity through modular, independent operations that can be applied selectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An apparatus and a method for implementing touch feedback is provided. The method for implementing touch feedback includes determining a touch region corresponding to a touch operation in response to the touch operation on a touch display device, processing an image to be displayed based at least in part on the touch region wherein the processing includes adjusting image features of the image to be displayed in the touch region, and displaying the processed image to be displayed on the touch display device.
