ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18149903 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device that can improve the quality of images stored in its memory. Here are the key points:

  • The electronic device has memory, a display, and at least one processor.
  • The processor can receive a request related to the quality of an image.
  • Before responding to the request, the processor checks if it has already detected multiple degradations in the image.
  • If the degradations have not been detected, the processor checks if a condition for improving the image quality is met.
  • If the condition is met, the processor detects the degradations in the image.
  • The processor then checks if a criterion for improving the degradations is satisfied.
  • If the criterion is satisfied, the processor displays a second image on the display with the improved quality.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Image editing software or apps that can automatically detect and improve image quality.
  • Cameras or smartphones with built-in image enhancement capabilities.
  • Medical imaging devices that can enhance the quality of diagnostic images.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Manual detection and improvement of image degradations can be time-consuming and tedious.
  • Users may not have the expertise or tools to effectively enhance image quality.
  • Automated detection and improvement of degradations can save time and effort.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved image quality without the need for manual intervention.
  • Time and effort savings for users.
  • Consistent and reliable image enhancement results.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes memory for storing at least one image, a display, and at least one processor electrically connected with the memory and display, and the at least one processor may obtain a request related to a quality of a first image among the at least one image, in response to the request, determine whether detecting a plurality of degradations of the first image is completed before obtaining the request, as a result of determining, if detecting the plurality of the degradations is not completed, determine whether a degradation improvement condition is satisfied for the first image, detect the plurality of the degradations in response to satisfying the degradation improvement condition, determine whether a criterion for improving the plurality of the degradations is satisfied, in response to satisfying the criterion, display on the display a second image in which degradation improvement is performed.
