Solution Overview

Problem

Current detection and recognition methods, including human vision and technical means like radars, lidars, and cameras, face limitations such as range restrictions, weather sensitivity, and visual pollution issues, especially with advertising signs, which hinder effective identification and guidance of entities in various environments.

Innovation Solution

A device and method that integrates a detectable electronic unit with a real entity, broadcasting a virtual or real image and associated information to detection modules, enabling unidirectional data transmission for identification and control of entities, even in adverse conditions, and allowing for the transformation of advertising signs into simpler structures, reducing visual pollution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If advertising boards and signs are installed to support advertising messages, then advertising communication is improved, but visual pollution of cities and roads increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertising communication effectivenessVSAvoidvisual pollution
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces physical advertising boards with digital advertising units that project images and information wirelessly. Instead of installing physical structures, the system uses digital copies of advertising content transmitted through electromagnetic waves, eliminating visual pollution while maintaining advertising communication effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The invention substitutes the mechanical/physical advertising board system with an electromagnetic/digital system. Rather than using physical signs that occupy space and create visual pollution, the patent employs wireless transmission of advertising information through electromagnetic waves, replacing the mechanical infrastructure with a non-intrusive digital communication mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Length of stationary object

If radars are used for detection, then detection range is improved, but ability to discern colors and contours is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection rangeVSAvoidcolor and contour recognition
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple detection capabilities into a single integrated system. It merges the long-range detection capability of radars with the color and contour recognition ability of cameras and visual sensors, creating a composite detection system that achieves both extended range and detailed visual analysis simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a multi-functional detection system where a single platform can perform multiple detection tasks: long-range object detection, color identification, contour recognition, and visual analysis. This universal system eliminates the need to choose between specialized sensors with complementary strengths, allowing simultaneous execution of all detection functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Measurement precision

If cameras are used for detection, then color and contour recognition is improved, but sensitivity to bad weather increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor and contour recognitionVSAvoidweather sensitivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the operating parameters and physical state of the detection system by incorporating sensors that function differently under various weather conditions. It integrates sensors capable of detecting electromagnetic waves (radio waves, microwaves) that penetrate weather obstacles, allowing the system to maintain detection accuracy regardless of rain, snow, or fog conditions that would normally degrade camera performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Length of stationary object

If lidar is used for detection, then detection range is improved, but sensitivity to bad weather and lack of color information occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection rangeVSAvoidcolor detection and weather resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The invention merges lidar's long-range detection capability with camera-based color recognition and weather-resistant sensors. By combining these complementary technologies into a single integrated system, the patent achieves both extended detection range and color information capture while adding weather resistance through the inclusion of electromagnetic sensors that penetrate adverse weather conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
