Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic devices face challenges in accurately detecting and processing objects that are contiguous or on multiple lines, leading to errors in line interval recognition and potential performance deterioration.

Innovation Solution

The method involves detecting objects displayed on an electronic device's touch screen, determining their line intervals, and reconfiguring these intervals if they do not meet a reference interval, ensuring correct object recognition and digital conversion by adjusting the location of objects based on determined baselines and coordinates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If objects are displayed contiguously on multiple lines, then the display density and information quantity are improved, but the line interval detection accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation quantityVSAvoidline interval detection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the detection process into multiple stages: first detecting individual objects, then determining their respective baselines, and finally calculating line intervals between baselines. This segmentation allows the system to handle contiguous objects by processing them in discrete steps, preventing detection errors even when objects are closely spaced on multiple lines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces baselines as intermediary elements between objects and line intervals. Instead of directly measuring intervals between contiguous objects, the system first establishes baselines for each object and then calculates intervals between these baselines. This intermediary approach simplifies the detection process and improves accuracy for closely spaced objects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If the line interval is not reconfigured when detected as less than reference interval, then the processing speed is maintained, but the object recognition accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidobject recognition accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the detected line interval is compared against a reference interval, and if the detected interval is less than the reference interval, the system reconfigures the line interval. This feedback loop ensures that detection errors are corrected while maintaining overall processing efficiency through automated adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts the line interval parameter based on detection results. When the initial detection indicates a line interval less than the reference interval, the system changes this parameter to the reference interval value, thereby correcting detection errors and improving object recognition accuracy without requiring complete reprocessing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
