Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic devices currently provide limited tags based on local recognition, lacking the capability to offer a diverse range of tags by solely relying on internal processing, without leveraging external resources like servers for enhanced tag generation and selection.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device that performs a recognition operation on its screen and collaborates with an external device, such as a server, to obtain and display multiple tags, allowing for the selection and storage of tags through a user interface, enabling the identification of functions related to these tags.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the electronic device performs recognition operation only using internal processing, then the device complexity is reduced, but the variety and relevance of tags provided to users is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety of tagsVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The tag generation system is segmented into two parts: the electronic device performs initial recognition and generates first tags locally, while an external server performs additional recognition and generates second tags. This segmentation allows the device to maintain simplicity while users receive diverse tags from both local and external processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

An external server acts as an intermediary to enhance tag generation capabilities. The server receives screen information from the electronic device, performs additional recognition operations, and returns complementary tags. This intermediary approach allows the device to leverage external resources without increasing its own complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the electronic device performs recognition operation only using internal processing, then the processing time is reduced, but the comprehensiveness of tag management is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensiveness of tag managementVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic device performs preliminary recognition operations locally to generate first tags quickly, providing immediate feedback to the user. Subsequently, the device sends screen information to an external server for additional recognition, which generates complementary second tags. This preliminary action approach ensures that users receive tags in a timely manner while still benefiting from comprehensive tag management through external processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
