Solution Overview

Problem

Wearable terminal display systems require relearning when new crop images are encountered, leading to prolonged updating times.

Innovation Solution

A machine learning data structure is used to build databases with meta-IDs linked to content IDs, allowing for quick selection and retrieval of reference information related to medical devices, reducing the need for extensive retraining when reference information is updated.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If machine learning is used to identify crop types from images, then identification accuracy is improved, but updating time increases when new crop relationships are acquired

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoidupdating time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the identification system into multiple specialized models (e.g., crop type identification, harvest time prediction, quality assessment) that can be independently trained and updated. This allows updating only specific segments when new data is available, rather than retraining the entire system, thereby reducing updating time while maintaining identification accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary data collection and model training for various crop types and conditions before actual deployment. Pre-trained models and databases are prepared in advance, allowing the system to quickly adapt to new crops by leveraging existing preliminary work rather than starting from scratch, thus reducing updating time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive image analysis is performed to determine crop characteristics, then determination accuracy is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetermination accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides comprehensive image analysis into multiple specialized processing stages (e.g., color analysis, shape analysis, texture analysis) that can be performed in parallel. Each stage focuses on specific characteristics, improving overall determination accuracy while reducing total processing time through concurrent execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a multi-level analysis approach where basic crop identification is performed first using simplified criteria, and only then are more comprehensive analyses applied when needed. This partial action approach maintains accuracy for common cases while reducing processing time by avoiding excessive analysis for all images.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
