Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Real-time image processing by cloud services, such as augmented reality glasses, faces challenges in feeding back processing results to the user in a timely manner due to delays in communication between the device and the cloud server.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a camera, image processing module, processor, and display circuitry that captures and processes images, transmits meta-data-enhanced compressed images to a cloud server, and displays processing results at the correct position on a transparent display area, ensuring real-time feedback even when the object moves.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If real-time image processing is performed by transmitting images to a cloud server, then processing capability is improved, but feedback time delay increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the image processing task into two parts: simple real-time processing is performed locally on the electronic device, while complex processing requiring cloud resources is transmitted to the cloud server. This segmentation allows the system to maintain real-time responsiveness for critical functions while utilizing cloud computing power for more demanding processing tasks, thereby resolving the contradiction between processing capability and feedback time delay.
2Productivity
If compressed images are transmitted to reduce data size, then transmission efficiency is improved, but image quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different compression levels to different regions of the image based on their importance. Critical regions that require high processing accuracy are transmitted with minimal or no compression, while less important regions undergo higher compression. This local quality approach allows the system to maintain overall transmission efficiency while preserving image quality in areas that matter most for processing accuracy.
3Speed
If the electronic device performs all processing locally, then feedback speed is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a multi-functional processing architecture where the electronic device can perform both simple local processing and serve as a client for cloud-based processing. The device dynamically selects the appropriate processing mode based on task requirements, available resources, and real-time conditions. This universal approach allows the system to maintain fast feedback speeds for simple tasks while offloading complex processing to the cloud, thereby avoiding excessive device complexity.
