ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR ADAPTIVELY DISPLAYING IMAGE, AND OPERATION METHOD OF THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18096963 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR ADAPTIVELY DISPLAYING IMAGE, AND OPERATION METHOD OF THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method performed by an electronic device to change the screen display mode from landscape to portrait or vice versa. It identifies if there is a blank space on the screen when displaying an image in the new display mode. If a blank space exists, it detects objects in the image and generates candidate images by cropping regions containing those objects. It then selects a second image from the candidate images and displays it on the screen, ensuring that no blank space exists.

  • Method for changing screen display mode from landscape to portrait or vice versa
  • Identifies if there is a blank space on the screen when displaying an image in the new display mode
  • Detects objects in the image and generates candidate images by cropping regions containing those objects
  • Selects a second image from the candidate images
  • Displays the second image on the screen, ensuring no blank space exists

Potential Applications

  • Mobile devices with rotating screens
  • Image editing software
  • Digital photo frames

Problems Solved

  • Eliminates blank spaces on the screen when changing display modes
  • Provides a seamless transition between landscape and portrait modes
  • Enhances user experience by displaying relevant images without any blank areas

Benefits

  • Improved visual aesthetics on electronic devices
  • Seamless transition between different screen display modes
  • Enhanced user experience with no blank spaces on the screen


Original Abstract Submitted

A method, performed by an electronic device, includes identifying that a screen display mode of the electronic device currently displaying a first image is changed from a first display mode to a second display mode, the screen display mode being one of a landscape mode and a portrait mode, identifying whether a blank exists on a screen of the electronic device, when the first image is displayed in the second display mode, based on identifying the blank exists, detecting one or more objects from the first image, generating candidate images by cropping a region that includes one or more of the one or more objects, selecting a second image from the plurality of candidate images, and displaying the second image so that the blank does not exist on the screen of the electronic device in the second display mode.
