Image Acquisition Device with Multi-Document Accommodating Structures
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing identity document acquisition devices are not compatible with multiple types of identity documents, leading to high costs and poor user experience due to the need for separate devices for different types of documents.
Innovation Solution
An image acquisition device with multiple accommodating structures allows for the acquisition of various identity documents, including identity cards and passports, by positioning these structures to be within the acquisition area of an image acquisition means, enabling the device to support multiple types of identity documents.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate acquisition devices are used for different identity documents, then each device can be optimized for its specific function, but the overall cost increases and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a single image acquisition device with multiple accommodating structures that can hold different types of identity documents (identity cards, passports, etc.). The image acquisition means is positioned to capture images from multiple document types simultaneously or sequentially, eliminating the need for separate dedicated devices for each document type while maintaining acquisition accuracy.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a single device supports multiple document types, then costs are reduced and versatility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the device into distinct functional modules: multiple accommodating structures for different document types, an image acquisition means, and a control unit. Each accommodating structure is independently designed to hold specific document types, and the control unit manages the switching between different document types, thereby reducing overall device complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by making the accommodating structures adjustable or switchable. The device can dynamically adapt its configuration to accommodate different document types through movable or reconfigurable holding structures, allowing the device to transform its state based on the required document type without requiring multiple fixed dedicated devices.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple accommodating structures are added to support different document types, then document compatibility is improved, but the device size and manufacturing complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies merging by combining multiple document holding functions into a single integrated device structure. The multiple accommodating structures are merged with the image acquisition means and control unit to form a unified system, reducing the need for multiple separate devices and simplifying the overall manufacturing process through integration rather than assembly of separate units.
