Electronic Mirror Face Recognition Remote Notification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mirrors are limited to specific use scenarios and cannot utilize their resources fully, as they can only function when a user is directly in front of them, preventing remote access or extended application scenarios.
Innovation Solution
An electronic mirror system that includes processing circuitry to receive and analyze images, determine user identities, and send notifications to associated terminals, allowing for the collection and processing of face-included images, which can then be recognized and shared or edited, enabling extended use scenarios and remote access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional mirrors are used for light reflection only, then the mirror structure remains simple, but the application scenarios are limited and resources are not fully utilized
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic mirror integrates multiple functions including light reflection, image capture, image processing, and remote notification capabilities. The processing circuitry enables the mirror to not only reflect light but also capture images, process them through face recognition algorithms, and send notifications to user terminals, transforming a single-function mirror into a multi-functional device that serves dressing, photography, and communication purposes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the mirror function with camera, processor, and communication module into a single integrated device. The processing circuitry is merged with the mirror structure, allowing the mirror to simultaneously perform reflection and digital image processing functions, while the notification module merges communication capabilities with the mirror system
2Loss of information
If the electronic mirror collects and processes face images locally, then image processing capability is improved, but the system complexity and data security requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The notification module acts as an intermediary between the processing circuitry and the user terminal. Instead of requiring complex local storage and management systems, the mirror system uses the notification module to communicate with external user terminals, which then handle image display and management, distributing system complexity across multiple components
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces physical image storage and handling with electronic data transmission. Instead of requiring physical media or complex local storage systems, the processed image data is transmitted electronically through the notification module to user terminals, simplifying the local system while maintaining full image processing capability

AI summary
Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for processing an electronic mirror image. The method can include receiving a face-included image from an electronic mirror, and determining a face model that matches the face-included image. A user identity associated with the matched face model can then be obtained. A notification is sent to a terminal corresponding to the associated user identity. The notification indicates the face-included image has been obtained at the electronic mirror.
