Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional image editing methods are used, then the entire image must be processed or edited, but this results in low efficiency and high complexity when only specific objects need manipulation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the image into multiple objects and applies different processing operations to each object independently. The processor identifies multiple objects in the image and allows users to select and edit specific objects without affecting the entire image, thereby improving processing efficiency and reducing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts specific objects from the image for independent processing. By separating the first object from the rest of the image content, the system enables selective editing, replacement, or manipulation of only the identified object, improving productivity while maintaining manageable complexity through automated extraction.
2Ease of operation
If manual object selection methods are used, then users can edit specific objects, but this requires complex user interaction and time-consuming manual processes
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically identifying and segmenting objects in the image without requiring manual user input for object selection. The processor autonomously detects objects, applies effects, and manages the editing process, significantly reducing the time and effort needed for object selection while maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-identifying and segmenting objects before the user initiates editing operations. The system prepares the image data structure in advance, separating objects into identifiable components, so that when the user wants to edit, the process starts from a pre-prepared state, reducing time loss and improving operational ease.
3Manufacturing precision
If visual effects are applied to the entire image, then the overall image quality is enhanced, but this fails to distinguish or emphasize specific objects for editing or analysis
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by implementing visual effects selectively on specific objects rather than the entire image. Each object can have customized effects applied to it based on its characteristics and the user's needs, achieving precise object distinction while managing complexity through localized processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the image into distinct objects and applies visual effects to each segment independently. This segmentation approach enables precise control over which objects receive which effects, improving object distinction precision while reducing overall complexity by processing each segment separately.

AI summary
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes memory that stores instructions, a display, and at least one processor, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to display an image including at least one object on the display, identify an input to a first object among the at least one object through the display, based on identifying the input to the first object, display a second object on an area where the input is identified in the image from a first time point when the input is identified, the second object being different from the at least one object included in the image, identify whether the first object is an object separable from the image while the displaying the second object, apply a visual effect to the image so that the first object is distinguished from the image, based on identifying that the first object is a separable object, and display a menu for executing a plurality of functions for the first object on the display.
