Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for recognizing motions in video clips or image sequences are inefficient as they require remote server computations, leading to time delays and security issues, and cannot be implemented in local devices due to software-based algorithms.

Innovation Solution

A method using a CNN-based integrated circuit that processes video frames by forming a 'super-character' through image classification techniques, embedding text categories as ideograms in a 2D symbol, and using convolutional neural networks to recognize motions locally within a device.

AI summary

Two-dimensional symbols with each containing multiple ideograms for facilitating machine learning are disclosed. Two-dimensional symbol comprises a matrix of N×N pixels of data representing a “super-character”. The matrix is divided into M×M sub-matrices with each of the sub-matrices containing (N/M)×(N/M) pixels. N and M are positive integers or whole numbers, and N is preferably a multiple of M. Each of the sub-matrices represents one ideogram defined in an ideogram collection set. “Super-character” represents at least one meaning each formed with a specific combination of a plurality of ideograms. Ideogram collection set includes, but is not limited to, pictograms, logosyllabic characters, Japanese characters, Korean characters, punctuation marks, numerals, special characters. Logosyllabic characters may contain one or more of Chinese characters, Japanese characters, Korean characters. Features of each ideogram can be represented by more than one layer of two-dimensional symbol.
