Flow Line Display with Orientation and Time Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flow line display systems only show the facial orientation of objects without incorporating time-related information, limiting their ability to provide accurate marketing insights.
Innovation Solution
A system that captures images, detects objects, identifies their flow lines, orientations, and associated times, and displays these elements together using image-processing units and display units, with varying sign sizes or colors to represent duration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If only facial orientation is displayed without time information, then the display is simple, but the marketing information accuracy is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds a time dimension to the existing spatial flow line display by incorporating time stamps and duration indicators. This transforms the display from showing only positional flow lines to showing flow lines with temporal characteristics, enabling accurate measurement of viewing durations and sequences without fundamentally changing the display structure
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses visual symbols (such as triangular signs or arrow markers) to represent temporal information alongside flow lines. These symbols copy the essence of time-related data (duration, sequence) in a visually intuitive format that can be displayed without complex additional hardware
2Loss of information
If time-related information is added to flow line display, then marketing information accuracy improves, but the display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges time-related information with the existing flow line display by superimposing time stamps, duration indicators, and orientation data directly onto the flow line visualization. This integration approach presents comprehensive information without requiring separate display systems or complex additional components
3Adaptability or versatility
If only orientation data is collected, then the system is simple to operate, but the data analysis capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a multi-functional display system that can present various types of information (flow line position, facial orientation, time stamps, duration) within a single unified framework. This universal display approach enables diverse data analysis capabilities while maintaining straightforward operation through consistent interaction methods

AI summary
The purpose of the present invention is to correct more accurate marketing information. A flow line display system of the present invention includes image-capturing unit, information operation device and display unit. The image-capturing unit captures an image. The information operation device detects an object from the image and identifies a flow line of the object, an orientation of the object, and a time related to the orientation. The display unit displays the orientation of the object and the time related to the orientation together with the flow line of the object.
