Techniques to configure device display

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving an image on a device, the device comprising a display device;

receiving a text segment on the device;

determining a background contrast color;

positioning the text segment in a text segment display area of the mixed color gradient;

generating a combined text segment image display by overlaying the mixed color gradient on the image; and

displaying the combined text segment image display on the display device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the background blend color increases in mixing proportion with the background contrast color in the mixed color gradient with distance from the text segment display area.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the background blend color increases in mixing proportion in the mixed color gradient in conjunction with the mixed color gradient decreasing in opacity.

5. The method of claim 1 , the background blend color determined based on a dominant color of the image.

6. The method of claim 1 , the background blend color determined based on a dominant color of the text segment display area for the image.

7. The method of claim 1 , the image comprising a frame of a plurality of frames, further comprising:

generating iteratively a plurality of mixed color gradients based on the plurality of frames;

generating a plurality of combined text segment image displays based on the plurality or frames and the plurality of mixed color gradients; and
