Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods fail to effectively recognize and display products within images on electronic devices, limiting users' ability to obtain more information or make purchases from images found on the internet.
Innovation Solution
A method that recognizes objects in images by analyzing visual content, superimposes triggers on detected objects, and displays them on a device, allowing for segmentation, identification, and comparison with stored feature profiles to show identical or similar products, enabling users to select and purchase items through image analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If image analysis and object recognition are implemented to enable product identification and purchase, then the ability to obtain information and make purchases from images is improved, but the computational complexity and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a bot as an intermediary component that receives images, performs segmentation and object detection, compares visual content with stored feature profiles, and returns results. This mediator handles the complex image analysis tasks, allowing the main system to remain relatively simple while gaining advanced product identification capabilities through the bot's processing.
2Measurement precision
If visual content analysis and segmentation are performed to detect objects in images, then product detection accuracy is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-segmenting images into multiple sections and pre-comparing visual content with stored feature profiles before a user actually requests product identification. This advance preparation reduces the time required for actual product detection, as the heavy computational work has already been completed in the background.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides images into multiple segments or sections for analysis. By segmenting the visual content, the system can process different parts of the image independently and in parallel, improving both accuracy through focused analysis and efficiency by reducing the computational burden on any single processing unit.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple image sections are analyzed and compared with stored profiles to find identical and similar products, then the comprehensiveness of product offerings is improved, but the data processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the relevant visual features and characteristics from images that are necessary for product identification and comparison. By taking out only the essential data elements needed for matching with stored profiles, the system reduces the overall data processing volume while still maintaining the ability to identify identical and similar products accurately.

AI summary
A method for finding and displaying products on a display device of an electronic data processing device is provided. The method includes recognizing an image or image section with at least one imaged object displayed on the display device when the cursor of the data processing device moves into an area of the image or image section. The recognized image or image section is designated with a trigger when the cursor of the data processing device moves into the area of the image or image section and the trigger is superimposed on the area of the recognized image or image section on the display device. The displayed image is segmented and at least one object is detected by an analysis of visual content of the designated image or image section by actuating the superimposed trigger. The at least one detected object may be displayed on the display device.
