Electronic device and method for providing a user interface to support coloring of objects in animation

Animation UI that defines coloring ranges based on object type and background color properties

This technology is a coloring support user interface device that identifies objects in animation frames, sets color tolerance ranges based on object type and background reflectance/color temperature, and restricts color input to the overlapping area of these two ranges.

Manually coloring characters and objects across numerous animation frames is labor-intensive, even with electronic devices. The time and effort required increase exponentially when object colors must be adjusted to match the context of each frame.

This technology sets tiered tolerance ranges for reflectance, redness, and yellowness based on a background reflectance of 98 and color temperatures of 4000K/6500K, automatically adjusting these ranges when the background color changes. Applicable to animation and webtoon software, it helps creators quickly select colors that match the scene's mood while maintaining color consistency across frames.

Key Features:

• An object management unit that identifies objects in animation frames and retrieves information related to object types
• A background management unit that identifies property information, such as reflectance and color temperature, for colors used in background coloring
• A color determination unit that sets a first tolerance range based on object type and a second based on background color properties, adjusting the second range when the background color changes
• An interface unit that generates and displays a user interface allowing object color input only within the overlapping area of the two tolerance ranges
