Logo Image Organization Name Inference via Web Search
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges in accurately extracting organization names from documents containing logo images, often resulting in incorrect or incomplete company name recognition due to the need for labor-intensive logo information table registration and the inability to timely update with increasing company logos.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus connected to the Internet, equipped with an obtaining unit for logo images, a search unit for similar images on the web, and an inference unit using named entity recognition models to infer organization names from web pages, eliminating the need for a logo information table.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a logo information table is used to improve character recognition accuracy of logo images, then recognition accuracy is improved, but a large amount of labor is needed to register logo images and it is impractical to timely register increasing numbers of company logos
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses automatic image search and named entity recognition to self-determine organization names from logo images, eliminating the need for manual registration of logo information tables. The processing apparatus automatically obtains logo images, searches for similar images on the web, and infers organization names through named entity recognition models.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of registering logo images in a database with an automated system that uses image search algorithms and named entity recognition models to automatically identify and extract organization names from logo images.
2Reliability
If manual registration of logo images is performed to ensure accurate organization name extraction, then extraction accuracy is improved, but the process becomes labor-intensive and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs organization name extraction by obtaining logo images, searching for similar images on the web, and using named entity recognition models to infer organization names, eliminating the need for manual processing and reducing time loss.
3Measurement precision
If a logo information table is maintained to handle multiple organizations with similar logos, then recognition accuracy is improved, but device complexity and maintenance effort increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically handles multiple organizations with similar logos by using image search and named entity recognition to distinguish between different organizations, eliminating the need for manual maintenance of logo information tables and reducing system complexity.
