Image Processing for Stepwise Electronic Device Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing method of recognizing an electronic device's identity through QR codes is monotonous and recognizes unnecessary information, lacking flexibility and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An image processing method that involves a first device obtaining a target image from a second device, recognizing patterns within the image, determining characters based on primary and secondary elements of those patterns, and using these characters to identify the second device, while the second device generates patterns from configuration information using primary and secondary elements to create a diversified target image.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If QR code scanning is used to recognize device identity, then device connection can be established, but the recognition method is monotonous and recognizes unnecessary information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the configuration information into multiple characters, where each character is represented by a distinct pattern with primary and secondary elements. This segmentation allows the first device to perform step-wise recognition, processing only the necessary portion of information (e.g., stopping after recognizing the first character if that suffices for device identification), thereby avoiding the need to process all information in a traditional QR code.
2Reliability
If all information in QR code is recognized, then complete device information is obtained, but energy consumption increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements partial action by enabling the first device to recognize only the necessary portion of the configuration information. The step-wise recognition process allows the system to stop after successfully identifying the required device identity, without processing the entire set of configuration information. This reduces energy consumption while maintaining the reliability needed for accurate device identification.
3Ease of operation
If traditional QR code recognition is used, then device connection is established, but the process lacks flexibility and user engagement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamics into the recognition process by implementing step-wise recognition with multiple patterns. The system can dynamically adapt the recognition depth based on requirements - for example, stopping after the first character if device identification is sufficient, or continuing to recognize additional characters if more detailed information is needed. This dynamic approach enhances flexibility and user engagement compared to the static, all-or-nothing QR code recognition.
