Display Apparatus Shopping List Generation via Image Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional IoT technologies for shopping are inconvenient as users must separately search for goods online, undergo complex authentication processes, and lack features to check cart location or receive auxiliary information for shopping lists, making the shopping experience cumbersome.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus that allows users to select goods from an image, generates a shopping list with relevant information, and transmits it to a portable terminal, which can receive state information from sensors to provide location, temperature, smell, and sound details, enabling easier purchase and payment processes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional IoT technology is used for shopping, then user authentication and cart tracking are supported, but the shopping process becomes complicated and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple shopping functions (product search, cart management, payment processing, and image-based product identification) into a single integrated system. The terminal apparatus consolidates these functions, eliminating the need for separate authentication procedures and manual cart tracking, thereby simplifying the overall shopping process while maintaining security and functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service shopping through automated cart tracking and payment processing. The terminal apparatus automatically detects products placed in the cart using image recognition, generates shopping lists, and processes payments without requiring manual authentication or intervention, allowing users to shop conveniently while the system handles complex operations autonomously.
2Productivity
If users manually search for goods online, then product information can be found, but time is lost and shopping efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating shopping lists and preparing payment information before the user completes their shopping. The terminal apparatus pre-processes product data, organizes it into shopping lists, and readies payment transactions, eliminating the need for users to manually search and compile product information during the shopping process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical searching and information compilation with automated image recognition and data processing systems. The terminal apparatus uses cameras and sensors to automatically identify products, retrieves information digitally, and processes transactions electronically, substituting manual user actions with automated technological processes that significantly reduce time and effort.
3Loss of information
If comprehensive shopping information is provided, then user decision-making is improved, but information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments shopping information into organized categories within the shopping list, such as product names, prices, quantities, and payment details. The terminal apparatus divides comprehensive product data into structured, easily readable formats and presents them in an organized manner, making complex information manageable and user-friendly without losing any essential details.
Data Source
AI summary
Disclosed is a display apparatus including a display, a communicator comprising communication circuitry configured to communicate with an external apparatus, input circuitry configured to receive an input; and a controller configured to control a display to display an image based on a received broadcast signal, to generate a shopping list including information about selected goods based on an input selecting goods in the image displayed based on the broadcast signal, and to control the communicator to send the external apparatus detailed information about at least one of the goods included in the shopping list, the information including corresponding state information if the state information is received from the external apparatus. Thus a user may select goods in a TV program and be provided a shopping list including detailed information of selected goods.
