ELECTRONIC DEVICE, OPERATING METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR PROVIDING POST MASKING WITHIN IMAGE WHEN SHOOTING VIDEO - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18121890 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE, OPERATING METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR PROVIDING POST MASKING WITHIN IMAGE WHEN SHOOTING VIDEO

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device that can perform masking on images based on identified visual objects. Here are the key points:

  • The device stores a masking review image and an image after the masking review image is stored.
  • It identifies a first visual object in the image and stores it.
  • It also identifies a second visual object in the masking review image, which corresponds to the first visual object.
  • The device stores the identified second visual object.
  • It performs masking on the image using data corresponding to the first visual object.
  • It also performs masking on the masking review image using data corresponding to the second visual object.
  • The device encodes the masking review image based on the remaining capacity of a storage device, which is smaller than a designated reference capacity.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Image editing software: The device can be used in software applications for masking and editing images.
  • Augmented reality: The technology can be used to mask certain objects in real-time video feeds, enhancing the augmented reality experience.
  • Privacy protection: The device can be used to mask sensitive information in images or videos to protect privacy.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient masking: The device automates the process of identifying visual objects and applying masking, making it easier and faster for users.
  • Storage optimization: By encoding the masking review image based on the remaining capacity of the storage device, the device optimizes storage usage.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Time-saving: The automated identification and masking process saves time for users.
  • Storage efficiency: The encoding based on remaining capacity ensures efficient use of storage space.
  • Versatility: The device can be used in various applications, including image editing, augmented reality, and privacy protection.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes a processor configured to: store a masking review image and store an image after the masking review image is stored, identify a first visual object of the image, store the identified first visual object of the image, identify a second visual object in the masking review image. The second visual object corresponds to the identified first visual object. The processor is further configured to: store the identified second visual object, perform a masking on the image based on first data corresponding to the first visual object, perform a masking on the masking review image based on second data corresponding to the second visual object, and encode the masking review image based on a remaining capacity of a storage device. The remaining capacity of the storage device is smaller than a designated reference capacity.
