Individual Identifying Device Pattern Stabilization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for individual identification on objects often result in discrepancies between pattern generation and image acquisition, as they do not ensure that the pattern is stabilized before imaging, leading to potential errors in identification accuracy.
Innovation Solution
An individual identifying device and method that includes a generation unit for creating patterns on objects and an imaging unit for acquiring images only after the pattern has stabilized, ensuring accurate and consistent image capture.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If pattern generation and image acquisition are performed separately without coordination, then operational flexibility is maintained, but discrepancies occur between pattern generation and image acquisition leading to identification errors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the pattern generation unit and image acquisition unit into a single integrated device. The generation unit creates patterns on objects while the imaging unit captures images of these patterns, and both functions are coordinated through a single control system that ensures the imaging unit only captures images after pattern stabilization, eliminating discrepancies between separate operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the control unit monitors the stabilization state of generated patterns and uses this information to control when the imaging unit should capture images. This feedback loop ensures that images are only acquired when patterns are stable, improving identification accuracy without requiring complex external coordination.
2Loss of time
If image acquisition is performed immediately after pattern generation, then processing time is reduced, but patterns may be unstable leading to imaging errors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the generation unit create patterns with built-in stabilization characteristics before image acquisition. The control unit monitors whether patterns have reached a stable state and only then triggers the imaging unit, ensuring that the necessary stabilization time elapses without significantly extending total processing time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces mechanical timing mechanisms with an intelligent control system that automatically detects pattern stabilization. Instead of using fixed time delays or mechanical wait periods, the control unit uses sensors and algorithms to determine when patterns are stable, reducing unnecessary waiting time while ensuring pattern stability is achieved.

AI summary
An individual identifying device includes a generation unit and an imaging unit. The generation unit generates a pattern on an object. The imaging unit acquires an image of the pattern after the pattern is stabilized, in conjunction with generation of the pattern by the generation unit.
