Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in obtaining profile information about individuals they encounter, especially in situations like meetings, without adequate identification clues, as existing technologies do not enable direct retrieval of social media profiles from captured images or videos.
Innovation Solution
A device with processors that perform facial recognition on captured images or videos, comparing facial features to stored images and profiles, and providing customized profile information based on user preferences, allowing for identification and display of relevant details.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If facial recognition and profile retrieval are performed on the user device, then identification accuracy is improved, but device processing resources and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the profile identification task into two segments: the user device captures images and performs initial facial feature extraction, then transmits only the extracted features to a remote server for profile matching and retrieval. This segmentation allows accurate identification while conserving user device energy resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a remote server as an intermediary between the user device and the profile database. The server receives facial features from the user device, performs the computationally intensive profile matching, and returns identification results. This intermediary approach transfers processing burden from the user device to the server, reducing energy consumption on the user device while maintaining identification accuracy.
2Loss of information
If comprehensive profile information is retrieved for all captured individuals, then information completeness is improved, but data processing time and resource usage increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by customizing profile information retrieval based on user-specific preferences and context. Instead of retrieving comprehensive profiles for all individuals, the system selectively retrieves only the profile attributes that are relevant to the current user and situation, reducing data processing time while maintaining information completeness for the user's needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial action by retrieving only the necessary portion of profile information rather than complete profiles. The system determines which profile attributes are needed based on user preferences and contextual factors, retrieving only those specific attributes to minimize processing time while providing sufficient information for the user's purpose.
3Reliability
If facial recognition is performed on every captured image, then identification reliability is improved, but processing complexity and computational load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary facial feature extraction on captured images before attempting profile matching. This preliminary action prepares the data in advance by extracting only the relevant facial features, which then can be efficiently compared against stored profiles. This approach maintains identification reliability by ensuring proper feature extraction while reducing processing complexity through selective feature-based comparison.
Data Source
AI summary
A device may store images of people and profile information associated with the images of the people, and may generate configuration information associated with providing customized profile information to a user device. The device may receive an image, of a person, captured by the user device, and may perform facial recognition of the image of the person to generate facial features of the person. The device may compare the facial features of the person and the images of the people, and may identify a stored image of the person, from the images of the people, based on comparing the facial features of the person and the images of the people. The device may determine, from the profile information and based on the configuration information, particular profile information that corresponds to the stored image of the person, and may provide the particular profile information to the user device.
