INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18478090 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can display an image, accept changes in the image size, adjust the layout of objects in the image based on the new size, and display the image in the new size.

  • Memory and processor included in the apparatus
  • Display device used to show the image
  • Ability to change the original size of the image
  • Adjust layout of objects in the image based on the new size
  • Display the image in the new size with adjusted layout

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in:

  • Graphic design software
  • Photo editing applications
  • Presentation tools

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

  • Efficiently resizing images without distortion
  • Maintaining the aspect ratio of images when resizing

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved image quality when resizing
  • Enhanced user experience in editing images
  • Consistent layout of objects in images

Potential Commercial Applications

The potential commercial applications of this technology include:

  • Software development for image editing
  • Integration into digital design tools
  • Implementation in online photo printing services

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be:

  • Image editing software that allows resizing with aspect ratio lock
  • Graphic design tools with layout adjustment features

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle complex layouts in images?

The technology adjusts the layout of objects in the image based on the new size, but it is unclear how it handles complex layouts with multiple objects and layers.

Can this technology be applied to video editing as well?

The patent application focuses on image resizing and layout adjustment, but it is not clear if the same principles can be applied to video editing for maintaining aspect ratios and adjusting layouts.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus incudes at least one memory and at least one processor configured to cause a display device to display an image indicated by image data; accept a change in an original size of the image displayed on the display device; in a case where a change from a first original size to a second original size that is different from the first original size in an aspect ratio has been accepted as the change, change a layout of an object included in the image data based on the second original size; and cause the display device to display the image in the second original size based on the object whose layout has been changed.
