Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If manual filtering, analysis and summarization of text files is performed to extract image information, then the image database can be established from text files, but intensive labors and man-hours are required

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of database establishmentVSAvoiddatabase establishment efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical operations (filtering, analysis, summarization) with an automated computer-based system that uses text recognition and image generation technologies to convert text files into images, thereby eliminating intensive human labor while maintaining database establishment capability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables text files to automatically generate corresponding images through automated processing pipelines including text recognition, image generation, and database storage, without requiring human intervention for each conversion step

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of information

If manual processing of text files is used to create images, then image information can be extracted from text, but the process is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveimage information extractionVSAvoidprocessing time

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary automated text recognition and image generation processing on text files before they need to be used in the database, converting text to images in advance through automated pipelines, thereby eliminating time-consuming manual processing while ensuring image information is properly extracted

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If automated text to image conversion is implemented, then database establishment efficiency is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedatabase establishment efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The automated system is divided into distinct functional modules including text recognition module, image generation module, and database storage module, allowing each component to be independently developed, tested, and optimized while working together to achieve high database establishment efficiency

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An image database establishing method, a searching method, an electronic device and a storage medium. The method comprises: obtaining a target file which has target text information (S210); generating a target image corresponding to content expressed by the target text information based on the target text information (S220); and storing the target image to form an image database (S230). The above method solves the problem in the prior art that it is time-consuming and laborious to establish a database by manually filtering, analyzing and summarizing massive text files, and effectively improves the efficiency of establishing an image database.
