Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If online card games are used, then players can play anytime and anywhere, but the interaction and enjoyment from physical cards is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the advantages of online card games (availability, convenience) with physical cards (interaction enjoyment, tactile experience) by using image recognition technology to identify physical cards and transmit their information to the online game system, creating a hybrid gaming experience that combines both digital and physical elements
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces image recognition technology as an intermediary between physical cards and the online game system. The image capturing device captures images of physical cards, the processor recognizes the card information through image processing, and this information is then transmitted to the online game system, enabling physical cards to be used in online games without direct contact between players
2Ease of operation
If multiple players gather for traditional card games, then interaction and enjoyment are enhanced, but it becomes difficult to organize games in modern busy life
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses image capturing devices to create digital copies of physical cards. The image recognition system captures images of physical cards and processes them to extract card information, effectively creating a digital representation that can be used in online games. This allows players to use physical cards in online settings without needing to physically gather together
3Measurement precision
If a recognition code with anchor grids and recognition grids is used, then card identification accuracy is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining the structure of the recognition code with anchor grids and recognition grids before the actual card identification process. The anchor grids are predetermined to facilitate image processing and coordinate transformation, while the recognition grids are pre-arranged to represent different card information. This preliminary structuring enables accurate card identification without requiring complex real-time processing algorithms

AI summary
A gaming device and a gaming device recognition method are provided. The method is applicable to an electronic device having an image capturing device, a storage device and a processor, and includes following steps. A captured image of the gaming device is captured by the image capturing device, wherein the gaming device includes a recognition code having anchor grids and recognition grids. Then, a first image is generated by performing image processing on the captured image, and the anchor grids of the first image are recognized. Next, a recognition template is decided according to the anchor grids, wherein the recognition template including code grids and grid numbers of each code grid. Finally, a filled status of each code grid is determined according to the first image, and a tag code corresponding to the recognition code is generated according to the filled status of each code grid and the grid numbers.
