Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Communication delays between devices and cloud systems hinder the effective use of high-speed image processing capabilities, leading to inefficiencies in providing immediate and intelligent responses to user operations.
Innovation Solution
Implementing distributed processing by generating reduced image data on a device and transmitting it to an external system for determination, allowing for immediate and intelligent responses while minimizing network communication influences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If image data is transmitted to cloud system for processing, then processing capability is improved, but communication delay increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential features and metadata from the original image data before transmission to the cloud system. By taking out only the necessary information for processing decisions rather than transmitting the complete high-resolution image, the system maintains strong processing capability while significantly reducing communication delay and network bandwidth consumption.
2Loss of time
If reduced image data is transmitted, then communication time is reduced, but processing accuracy may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by transmitting different types of data with different levels of detail simultaneously. Essential features, metadata, and compressed image portions are transmitted with varying degrees of fidelity - critical areas maintain higher quality while less important regions are heavily compressed or represented as metadata, thereby reducing overall communication time while preserving processing accuracy for decision-making.
Data Source
AI summary
A device is provided that includes a memory storing a program and a processor configured to execute the program to implement processes of generating second image data that has a reduced amount of data as compared with first image data on which a process is to be executed, transmitting the generated second image data to an information processing apparatus that is connected to the device via a network, receiving a determination result indicating whether the second image data satisfies a predetermined condition from the information processing apparatus, and outputting information based on the received determination result.
