Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If user images are managed by registering each user image in a database with certain computer operation skills, then the user image management becomes systematic and organized, but the complexity of operation increases and limits accessibility to users with computer skills
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic acquisition of user images through handwriting input without requiring manual registration operations. The image acquiring unit automatically captures the handwritten input, and the managing unit automatically stores it in the database with appropriate identification, eliminating the need for users to perform complex registration operations while maintaining systematic management
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system comprising the image acquiring unit, identification-information acquiring units, and managing unit that mediates between the user's simple handwriting input and the database storage system. This intermediary automatically handles the complex tasks of image capture, identification extraction, and database registration, making the process accessible to users without computer skills
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional database registration methods are used for user images, then comprehensive image management is achieved, but the requirement for computer operation skills increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operations (clicking, typing, navigating menus) with an automatic image acquisition system that captures handwriting directly. The image acquiring unit substitutes for manual database registration operations, and the managing unit automatically handles image storage and retrieval based on extracted identification information, significantly reducing operational complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates automatic copies of user handwriting images and stores them in the database with associated identification information. The image extracting unit separates the user image from the handwriting input, and the managing unit stores this copy in the database, enabling comprehensive management without requiring users to manually copy or register images
Data Source
AI summary
An image acquiring unit acquires an image of a sheet on which a medium that presents an identification image, including identification information is to be placed, the sheet including a user image that is presented by a user. A first identification-information acquiring unit acquires the identification information from the image acquired by the image acquiring unit. An image extracting unit extracts the user image from the image acquired by the image acquiring unit. A second identification-information acquiring unit acquires the identification information from the medium alone. A first storage unit stores the user image in association with the identification information. A managing unit acquires, from the first storage unit, a user image such that the identification information associated with the user image matches the identification information acquired by the second identification-information acquiring unit, among the user images that are stored in the first storage unit.
