Advertising Medium Identification via Embedded Image Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for managing advertising media, such as digital signage, cannot uniquely identify individual advertising media or assess their installation environments, as they rely solely on common two-dimensional codes and do not consider the surrounding environment.
Innovation Solution
A computer system that outputs an identification image embedding unique identification information, analyzes images of the advertising media to read this information, and registers it in a database, allowing for the identification of both the media and its installation environment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a common two-dimensional code is used in all advertising media, then the code can be universally read by mobile terminals, but the advertising medium itself cannot be identified
Solution Approach 1:
The identification system is segmented into multiple components: a common two-dimensional code for universal readability and a separate identification image containing unique identification information. This segmentation allows each component to serve its specific function while working together to resolve the contradiction between universal readability and unique identification.
Solution Approach 2:
The identification image acts as an intermediary element that bridges the gap between the common two-dimensional code and the unique identification requirement. It contains embedded identification information that enables the advertising medium to be uniquely identified while maintaining compatibility with existing mobile terminal reading capabilities.
2Ease of operation
If only the two-dimensional code output to the advertising medium is used, then the reading process is simple, but the installation environment cannot be assessed
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the common two-dimensional code with additional identification image data that contains environmental information. This combination allows mobile terminals to perform simple reading operations while simultaneously capturing installation environment details, thus maintaining ease of operation while preventing information loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The identification image serves multiple functions: it provides unique identification of the advertising medium, contains installation environment information for assessment, and remains readable by standard mobile terminal cameras. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by making a single element serve both simple reading and comprehensive information capture.
