Camera Image Auto-Transmission via Object Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for managing and sharing photos taken with mobile devices are cumbersome, requiring complex procedures for users to acquire images, especially when the picture-taker needs to transmit them to the user, and often result in images becoming inaccessible.
Innovation Solution
A picture-taking device equipped with modules for generating, identifying, and transmitting images, including a picture-taking module, transmission location management, area selection, image identification, and picture image transmission, which detects nearby mobile devices and transmits images to designated locations like e-mail or blog addresses using NFC, IP addresses, or other communication technologies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the picture image is transmitted to the user via USB connection or copying to secondary memory, then the user can acquire the picture image, but the picture-taker is required to perform complex procedures
Solution Approach 1:
The camera performs automatic picture image transmission by autonomously identifying the photography object through image recognition, determining their location relationship, and transmitting images without requiring user intervention in the transmission process
Solution Approach 2:
The camera pre-stores transmission destination information (such as mobile device identifiers) associated with photography objects before the picture-taking moment, so that when a picture is taken, the transmission can occur automatically without requiring complex user procedures at the time of transmission
2Reliability
If the picture image is transmitted using conventional methods, then the picture image can be provided to the user, but the user cannot acquire the picture image when the picture-taker does not transmit it
Solution Approach 1:
The camera autonomously determines whether transmission is needed by identifying the photography object and their location relationship, and automatically transmits the picture image without requiring the picture-taker to initiate the transmission, ensuring the user can always acquire their picture images
3Adaptability or versatility
If the picture image is transmitted to multiple locations, then the user can access the picture image from multiple devices, but the management of picture images becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the picture image management by creating separate transmission records for each destination, associating each picture image with specific photography objects and their corresponding transmission locations, thereby organizing the distribution management in a structured manner

AI summary
A picture image providing method and a picture-taking device using the method are provided. The picture-taking device includes: a picture-taking module generating a picture image by taking a picture of a photography object via a camera; a transmission location management module managing a target image for identifying the photography object included in the picture image, and transmission location information for transmitting the picture image, in correspondence to the target image; an area selection module selecting an area on the picture image corresponding to the target image; an image identification module identifying the target image corresponding to the photography object, included in the picture image, using the target image and the selected area on the picture image; and a picture image transmission module identifying the transmission location information corresponding to the identified target image, and transmitting the picture image to a location corresponding to the transmission location information.
