Electronic Card Book Generation from Physical Cards
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing card storage solutions, such as card boxes and books, make it difficult to quickly and easily access specific game cards, especially when the collection is large, due to the lack of visibility and inconvenient organization.
Innovation Solution
A method for automatically generating an electronic card book from a physical card book with a scannable QR code, using an APP to create digital counterparts of physical cards, allowing users to quickly find specific cards by scanning the QR code and photographing the physical cards, which are then organized and searchable.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If cards are stored in a card box, then the cards can be stored stably, but it is difficult to take out game cards and view card information quickly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates an electronic copy (photo) of each physical card and stores it in an electronic card book on a mobile device. This allows users to view card information instantly on the screen without physically removing cards from storage, solving the contradiction between stable physical storage and quick information access.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system (electronic card book with search functionality) that mediates between the physical card storage and the user's need to find cards. Instead of directly searching through physical cards, users search the electronic database and then locate the physical card based on the search result.
2Ease of operation
If cards are stored in a card book with transparent pages, then card information can be viewed easily, but it is difficult to systematically classify and arrange large numbers of cards
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual classification system with an electronic database system. Instead of physically organizing cards by category in the card book, users input card information into the electronic system, which automatically manages classification and retrieval, greatly simplifying the organization of large collections.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds an electronic digital dimension to the physical card collection. By creating an electronic parallel of the physical cards with searchable metadata, users can classify and find cards through multiple dimensions (name, category, number, etc.) without increasing physical organization complexity.
3Quantity of substance
If users manually search through card books to find specific cards, then all cards can be physically accessed, but the search time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-capturing photos and inputting information for all cards during an initial data collection phase. This preliminary electronic documentation allows for instant retrieval later, eliminating the need to manually search through physical cards each time a specific card is needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates electronic copies of all physical cards with searchable attributes. This electronic copy system allows users to search through the entire collection instantly by name, category, or other attributes, reducing search time from minutes or hours to seconds regardless of collection size.
