Solution Overview

Problem

Existing face recognition technologies face inefficiencies due to the large storage space requirements of face recognition models, leading to excessive resource consumption and reduced processing efficiency in operation environments with limited storage capacity.

Innovation Solution

The method involves storing the face recognition model in a first operation environment with greater storage space, initializing it, and then transmitting the initialized model to a second operation environment with lesser storage space, allowing for efficient processing and reducing resource occupancy in the second environment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the face recognition model is stored and initialized in the second operation environment with limited storage space, then the processing can be performed directly, but the storage space requirement exceeds the available capacity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveface recognition processing capabilityVSAvoidstorage space requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the operation environment into two segments: a first operation environment with sufficient storage space for holding the complete face recognition model, and a second operation environment with limited storage space for execution. The model is segmented in terms of storage location versus execution location, allowing the heavy model data to reside in the first environment while only essential execution components are placed in the second environment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A data transmission mechanism acts as an intermediary between the first and second operation environments. The initialized model data is transmitted from the first environment to the second environment through this intermediary channel, enabling the second environment to access and execute the model without permanently storing the complete model data, thus resolving the storage capacity conflict.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Volume of stationary object

If the face recognition model is kept in the first operation environment with greater storage space, then storage capacity is sufficient, but processing efficiency decreases due to data transmission requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage space availabilityVSAvoidface recognition processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of stationary objectVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary initialization of the face recognition model in the first operation environment before transmission to the second operation environment. By pre-processing and initializing the model data in advance in the first environment, the system reduces the complexity and time required for data transmission and setup in the second environment, thereby improving overall processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If the face recognition model is transmitted to the second operation environment without initialization, then transmission is simpler, but additional initialization steps are required in the second environment increasing complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel transmission processVSAvoidmodel initialization operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The initialization operation is moved to the first operation environment and performed before transmission to the second environment. This preliminary action ensures that the model data is fully prepared and initialized in advance, so that when it is transmitted to the second operation environment, no additional initialization steps are required there, thereby simplifying the overall operation process and reducing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
