Automatic Margin Creation for Webtoon Content Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current content delivery systems face challenges in enhancing loading performance and reducing network usage rates, particularly when dealing with webtoons, due to inefficient handling of layers with motion effects and large pages with uniform backgrounds.
Innovation Solution
The system applies motion effects to specific layers, merges layers without motion effects into a single image, and automatically segments or removes areas with uniform backgrounds to reduce resource size and network usage, while maintaining visual integrity by displaying the background color through margins.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If layers without motion effects are kept separate, then motion effects can be applied to specific layers, but the resource size and network usage increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple layers without motion effects into a single background image layer, reducing the total number of layers and resource size. Layers with motion effects remain separate and can be overlaid on top of the merged background, allowing motion effects to be applied selectively while minimizing resource consumption.
2Manufacturing precision
If large areas with uniform background color are included in the final image, then the complete page is rendered, but the resource size and network usage increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes large areas with uniform background colors from the final image. Instead of including these redundant background areas in the transmitted image data, the system identifies them during image processing and excludes them, reducing the resource size while maintaining the visual integrity of the actual content areas.
3Reliability
If the complete page image is transmitted, then all content is available, but the loading time and network usage increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the page content by separating the actual content areas from redundant background areas. The final image is processed to exclude large uniform background regions, transmitting only the necessary content portions. This segmentation allows the page to load faster while maintaining content completeness, as the removed areas can be replenished with background color on the client side.

AI summary
A content providing method of a content providing system is executed on at least one computer and includes configuring a page to be provided in content, recognizing an area that is configured using a single color and has a size greater than or equal to a preset size by analyzing the final image that configures the page, and reconfiguring the final image by removing the recognized area.
