Unified Image Splicing Interface Merging Selection and Templates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image splicing methods are inefficient as users need to repeatedly switch between image selection and template selection interfaces to change the number of images to be spliced, leading to increased operation costs and reduced efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An image splicing method and device that display an interface with a spliced-image previewing region, an image selecting region, and a template selecting region, allowing users to select images and apply matching splicing templates without needing to jump between interfaces, automatically determining and updating the number of images to be spliced based on user selection and template preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users switch between image selection and template selection interfaces to change the number of images to be spliced, then the splicing function can be adjusted, but the operation cost increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the image selection interface and template selection interface into a single unified interface. Users can select images and choose splicing templates without switching between separate interfaces, directly reducing operation cost while maintaining full splicing functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified interface serves multiple functions simultaneously: it displays images for selection, shows available splicing templates, and allows template application all in one view. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate interfaces while preserving all splicing capabilities.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users switch between image selection and template selection interfaces to change the number of images to be spliced, then the splicing function can be adjusted, but the time required increases
Solution Approach 1:
By combining image selection and template selection into one interface, the patent eliminates the time required to navigate between separate screens. Users can complete the entire splicing configuration process in a single view, directly reducing time loss while maintaining adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified interface is designed to present all necessary options (image selection and template choices) simultaneously before the user begins the splicing process. This preliminary arrangement of all options in one place prevents subsequent navigation delays.
3Ease of manufacture
If multiple interfaces are used for image selection and template selection, then specific functions can be dedicated to each interface, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines what would traditionally be separate interfaces into one unified interface design. This merger reduces the overall interface structure complexity while still providing dedicated areas for image selection and template selection within the same screen.
Solution Approach 2:
Within the unified interface, the patent segments different functional areas (image selection region and template selection region) into distinct zones. This segmentation maintains functional clarity and ease of manufacture while avoiding the complexity of multiple separate interfaces.

AI summary
Provided is an image splicing method, belonging to the technical field of image processing. The method includes: displaying an image splicing interface, wherein the image splicing interface includes a spliced-image previewing region, an image selecting region, and a template selecting region; determining an image to be spliced in response to a select operation on at least one image in the image selecting region; determining, based on a number of the images to be spliced, a first splicing template matching the number of images to be spliced, and displaying a first spliced image in the spliced-image previewing region based on the images to be spliced and the first splicing template.
