Object Identification System Matching Real Objects to Virtual Database
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In a wireless Internet environment, users face difficulties in accessing information related to specific objects, such as locations or objects, due to the inconvenience of inputting characters on small devices like mobile phones, leading to increased search time and decreased utilization compared to wired Internet environments.
Innovation Solution
An object identification system that uses a virtual object database to match real objects viewed through a terminal with virtual objects, allowing for intuitive selection and retrieval of information or services related to the identified objects, utilizing real object identification data including position, distance, and azimuth values to determine matching virtual objects and transmit relevant service data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a user inputs a URL address or searches for information using a client program on a mobile telephone terminal, then the user can access Internet information, but the operation becomes inconvenient and time-consuming due to the small device size and character input requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes a virtual object database containing attribute data sets and service data sets for various real objects. When a user points the terminal at an object, the identification data is immediately compared against pre-stored virtual objects, eliminating the need for users to manually input search queries or URLs. The matching and information retrieval happen automatically based on pre-prepared object profiles.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an object identification system as an intermediary between the user and Internet information. Instead of directly inputting search terms or URLs, the user points the terminal at the target object, and the identification system automatically retrieves and transmits relevant information. This intermediary process replaces manual character input with automated object recognition and data retrieval.
2Productivity
If manual character input is required to access information on mobile devices, then specific information can be retrieved, but the utilization of wireless Internet decreases compared to wired environments
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service information retrieval where the terminal automatically performs object identification, database matching, and information transmission without requiring manual character input from the user. The user simply points the terminal at the target object, and the system handles all subsequent operations autonomously, significantly improving convenience and wireless Internet utilization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical character input process with an automated optical/electronic recognition system. Instead of manually typing URLs or search terms, the terminal uses its camera or sensor to capture object identification data, which is then automatically processed and matched against the virtual object database. This substitution eliminates the need for manual input while maintaining accurate information retrieval.
3Speed
If a user wants to immediately access information about a target object while walking, then the user can obtain intuitive access, but traditional search methods require basic data input and searching
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-stores comprehensive attribute data sets and service data sets for numerous real objects in the virtual object database. When a user points the terminal at an object during movement, the identification data is immediately compared against these pre-prepared profiles, enabling instant information access without requiring the user to stop, think of search terms, or manually input data. The speed improvement comes from having all object information ready in advance for rapid matching.
Data Source
AI summary
An objection identification system includes a virtual object database (DB) in which a plurality of virtual objects is stored and a target virtual object. The virtual objects includes an attribute data set including an attribute value of a real object and a service data set including a service data related to the real object. The target virtual object determining part receives a real object identification data of a target real object previewed by a terminal to compute an attribute value of the target real object, and determines a virtual object having an attribute value matched to an attribute value of the computed target real object of plural virtual objects stored in the virtual object DB as a target virtual object. In this case, a service data included in the service data set of the determined target virtual object by the target virtual object determining part is transmitted to the terminal. Thus, it may provide Internet type based on a real object over a conventional Internet concept handing a virtual object. In addition, easy and intuitive wireless Internet environment may be realized, and various Internet service and new higher value-added business may be created.
