IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18430973 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS

The abstract of the patent application describes an image processing apparatus that includes an image generator and a display adjuster. The image generator creates a content image, which is then adjusted in terms of aspect ratio by the display adjuster. The content image is divided into multiple partial content areas, each with a predetermined adjustment priority. The display adjuster modifies the aspect ratio of the content image by adjusting the aspect ratio of each partial content area based on the priority.

  • The image processing apparatus consists of an image generator and a display adjuster.
  • The image generator produces a content image.
  • The display adjuster alters the aspect ratio of the content image.
  • The content image is segmented into various partial content areas.
  • Each partial content area is assigned a specific adjustment priority.
  • The display adjuster changes the aspect ratio of the content image by adjusting the aspect ratio of each partial content area according to its priority.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in digital signage displays to optimize the aspect ratio of content images. - It can be implemented in video editing software to enhance the display of videos with different aspect ratios.

Problems Solved: - Ensures that content images are displayed correctly on screens with varying aspect ratios. - Helps maintain the integrity and visual quality of images when displayed on different devices.

Benefits: - Improved visual presentation of content images. - Consistent display quality across different devices and screens.

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Image Display Technology for Digital Signage and Video Editing This technology can be utilized in digital signage solutions for retail stores, airports, and other public spaces to ensure optimal image display. Video editing software developers can integrate this technology to enhance the viewing experience for users working with videos of different aspect ratios.

Questions about Image Processing Technology: 1. How does the display adjuster prioritize the adjustment of partial content areas in the image? The display adjuster sets a predetermined adjustment priority for each partial content area based on specific criteria. 2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in video editing software? Integrating this technology into video editing software can streamline the editing process and improve the overall visual quality of videos.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing apparatus includes an image generator and a display adjuster. The image generator generates a content image. The display adjuster adjusts an aspect ratio of the content image. The content image is divided into plural partial content areas. The content image is displayed on a display screen. A predetermined adjustment priority is set for each of the partial content areas. The display adjuster adjusts the aspect ratio of the content image by changing an aspect ratio for each of the partial content areas on the basis of the adjustment priority.
