Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional web-based communication systems face performance and security issues due to dependency on network speed and latency, vulnerability to cyber-attacks, and the need for constant internet connection, especially when handling large files like images or videos, and require maintenance across multiple operating systems.
Innovation Solution
An artificial intelligence-based imaging system that processes and analyzes images locally on a client device without internet connection, using a predefined imaging code that executes within a web browser, determining personal attributes of individuals from images without transmitting sensitive information over networks, thus enhancing security and performance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional web-based communication systems are used to process images, then network connectivity and server processing are required, but network latency, bandwidth consumption, and security vulnerabilities increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the image processing functionality from the server environment and embeds it directly into the web browser through injected code. This allows the browser to execute processing logic locally without requiring continuous network communication with the server, thereby reducing network dependency while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism where processing code is injected into the web browser's execution environment. This intermediary layer enables the browser to perform server-side functions locally, eliminating the need for constant network round-trips while maintaining the security benefits of server-based architecture.
2Productivity
If native applications are used for image processing, then processing capability improves, but compatibility across multiple operating systems and devices increases complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the web browser universal by enabling it to execute platform-specific processing code through injection. The same browser-based system can process images across different operating systems and devices without requiring separate native applications, thereby achieving cross-platform compatibility while maintaining advanced processing capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the execution environment parameter of the browser from standard web rendering to include embedded processing code execution. By modifying how the browser operates through code injection, it gains the processing power of native applications while retaining its cross-platform compatibility.
3Power
If images are transmitted over the network for processing, then server-based processing is enabled, but network bandwidth consumption and transfer time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by injecting the processing code into the browser in advance. This allows the processing logic to be already present in the client environment, enabling immediate local processing of images without requiring network transmission to the server, thereby eliminating transfer time delays.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of the traditional approach where images are sent from client to server for processing, the patent inverts the workflow by bringing the processing capability to the client side through code injection. This reversal eliminates the need for image transmission while maintaining server-level processing power.
4Productivity
If conventional web browsers are used without code injection, then security is maintained through controlled execution, but processing functionality is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary code injection mechanism that operates within the browser's security boundaries. The injected code acts as a mediator between the browser's controlled execution environment and the advanced processing requirements, enabling enhanced functionality while respecting the browser's security model.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a nested structure where processing code is embedded within the browser's execution context. The injected code operates as a nested layer inside the browser environment, gaining access to processing capabilities while remaining contained within the browser's security boundaries, thus maintaining execution control.

AI summary
Artificial intelligence-based systems and methods are described for interacting with individuals via a web environment. A provisioning server is configured to receive a request from a web browser, executing on a client device, for a predefined imaging code stored in a memory of the provisioning server. The provisioning server responds to the request by transferring the predefined imaging code to the web browser. The predefined imaging code is configured to be executed by the client device to load, into a memory of the client device, one or more images of an individual; and determine, based on image analysis of the one or more images of the individual, one or more personal attributes of the individual.
