Mobile Terminal Object Recognition and Search Automation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile terminal image search functions require users to manually crop and upload specific objects, making it inconvenient to search for information within images.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal system that allows users to switch to a desired function screen using motion gestures, enabling the recognition and search for associated information of objects within images displayed on the screen by extracting partial images for search purposes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users manually crop and upload specific objects from images to search for information, then the search function can provide relevant information, but the operation process becomes inconvenient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs object recognition and cropping without requiring user intervention. The controller identifies objects within the displayed image, extracts relevant portions, and initiates searches automatically, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring manual user operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary object recognition and image extraction before the user initiates a search. By pre-processing the image to identify and crop relevant objects, the system prepares the search data in advance, eliminating the need for users to manually crop images before searching.
2Loss of information
If users manually crop images to search for specific objects, then the search can focus on relevant content, but the process requires multiple steps and time
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically identifies relevant objects and extracts corresponding image portions without user intervention. This self-service approach maintains search relevance by accurately identifying target objects while eliminating the time users would spend on manual cropping and preparation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system maintains continuous operation from image display through automatic object recognition, extraction, and search execution. This continuous process eliminates interruptions and delays associated with manual user actions, keeping the useful action flowing without breaks while maintaining search relevance.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system enables multiple functions including image display and search, then functionality increases, but the complexity of controlling function switching increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controller serves multiple functions including image display, object recognition, image extraction, and search initiation within a single integrated system. This multi-functionality approach consolidates what could be separate operations into one universal controller, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining versatility.

AI summary
A mobile terminal and controlling method thereof are disclosed. The present invention includes a display unit configured to display an image including at least one object on a screen and a controller searching for at least one associated information on the object using a partial image corresponding to the object in the image, the controller displaying the searched associated information. Accordingly, when a user searches for an information on a specific object in an image using an image search function, it is unnecessary for the user to crop a partial image corresponding to the specific object in the image one by one. Instead, a mobile terminal automatically recognizes the specific object in the image and is then able to search for at least one associated information on the specific object using a partial image of the automatically recognized specific object.
