Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulty in adjusting watermark parameters such as angle, size, and position in existing watermark technologies, requiring repeated settings and interface switching, which is complex and inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that allow direct editing on a watermark preview interface by generating a text box control when a predetermined click occurs, allowing users to modify watermark parameters intuitively, with adjustments displayed in real-time within the same interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users adjust watermark parameters through traditional parameter setting interfaces, then watermark embedding functionality is achieved, but user operation complexity increases and adjustment efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewatermark parameter adjustmentVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a text box control as an intermediary element between the user and the watermark parameters. When users click on the watermark preview, a text box control is generated that allows direct manipulation of watermark properties through drag-and-drop operations, eliminating the need to navigate complex parameter setting interfaces while still achieving precise watermark adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If users repeatedly set parameters and switch between interfaces to achieve desired watermark effects, then precise watermark control is achieved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewatermark parameter precisionVSAvoidadjustment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent generates a text box control in advance on the watermark preview interface, preparing the interaction mechanism before the user needs to adjust parameters. This preliminary setup allows users to immediately begin drag-and-drop operations without needing to switch to separate parameter setting interfaces, thereby reducing time consumption while maintaining precise control over watermark properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If users estimate parameter values in traditional interfaces, then watermark embedding is achieved, but adjustment accuracy decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewatermark adjustment efficiencyVSAvoidparameter estimation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of manual parameter estimation and repeated interface switching with a graphical drag-and-drop mechanism. Users can directly manipulate the watermark position and orientation by dragging it to desired locations, providing intuitive visual feedback that eliminates the need to estimate parameter values numerically, thereby improving both efficiency and precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

A watermark adjustment method and a watermark adjustment device are provided. The method includes determining whether a user clicks on a watermark preview interface in a predetermined manner; when it is determined that the user clicks on the watermark preview interface in the predetermined manner, generating a text box control according to a watermark pattern that is currently displayed to activate a watermark preview editing status; displaying the watermark pattern on the text box control; determining a text box display parameter according to a user setting for the text box control; and when the watermark preview editing status is ended, adjusting the watermark pattern according to the text box display parameter and displaying the adjusted watermark pattern in the watermark preview interface.
