Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image-capturing plan creation technologies are unable to quickly reflect changes in image-capturing plans, leading to inefficiencies in managing multiple image-capturing requests and device allocations.

Innovation Solution

An image-capturing plan creating device that includes a unit for creating plans based on target and device information, and a condition setting unit that allows for rapid recreation of plan parts in response to changes, ensuring efficient allocation of image-capturing targets and devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the image-capturing plan is recreated based on parameter change for all targets, then the plan can be adjusted to reflect changes, but the time required for recreation increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveability to reflect changes in image-capturing planVSAvoidtime required for plan recreation

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the image-capturing plan into multiple segments or parts, each associated with specific image-capturing targets. When a change occurs, only the affected segment is recreated rather than the entire plan. This segmentation allows selective recreation of plan parts based on change content, significantly reducing recreation time while maintaining adaptability to changes.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the image-capturing plan is created manually by operator experience, then flexibility in adjusting the plan is improved, but the time and efficiency for handling multiple image-capturing requests deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveflexibility in plan adjustmentVSAvoidefficiency of handling multiple image-capturing requests

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the automatic plan creation device learns from operator adjustments and manual modifications. When operators manually adjust the plan, this feedback is used to refine the automatic creation algorithm, enabling it to produce plans that better reflect operational preferences and requirements over time, thus combining automation efficiency with human expertise flexibility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary automatic plan creation based on predefined parameters and constraints before operator review. This preliminary action provides a baseline plan that can be quickly generated, which then serves as a foundation for any necessary manual adjustments, combining the speed of automation with the flexibility of manual refinement when needed.
