Exhibition Support Device Using Image Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing exhibition systems fail to provide engaging experiences for users by not offering relevant information beyond what is available in paper brochures or websites, and the installation of communication electrodes compromises the appearance of display items.
Innovation Solution
An exhibition supporting system that includes a recognition result information acquisition unit, an exhibition information acquisition unit, and a display unit, utilizing image recognition technology to provide exhibition-related information to users through a terminal device without the need for additional equipment at exhibition booths.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If communication electrodes are installed in exhibition booths to enable information collection, then information collection capability is improved, but device complexity and installation workload increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces physical communication electrodes with image data captured by cameras. The camera captures images of display items, and image recognition technology extracts information from these images, creating a virtual copy of the information collection function without requiring physical electrode installation in exhibition booths
Solution Approach 2:
The patent substitutes the mechanical/electrical system of communication electrodes with an optical system using cameras and image recognition. Instead of using electrical contacts to transmit information, the system uses light capture and digital image processing to achieve the same information collection goal
2Loss of information
If communication electrodes are installed in exhibition booths, then information collection is enabled, but appearance of display items is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses image capture and digital processing to collect information about display items, replacing the need for physical electrodes that would attach to or be mounted on display items. This preserves the original appearance of display items while achieving the same information collection function through optical copying
3Loss of information
If traditional information delivery methods are used (paper brochures, websites), then information is provided to users, but user engagement is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system captures images of display items users are interested in, automatically recognizes the items through image recognition, and delivers relevant information back to the user. This closed-loop feedback system enhances engagement by making information delivery automatic, personalized, and context-aware rather than requiring users to manually search through brochures or websites
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service information delivery by automatically capturing images, recognizing display items, and providing information without requiring users to manually interact with brochures or navigate websites. The system serves itself by using the user's camera input to automatically retrieve and deliver relevant exhibition information
