VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If voice prompt method is used to move the to-be-recognized object, then the object can reach the target distance, but multiple movements are required resulting in low recognition efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition efficiencyVSAvoidtime for multiple movements
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the voice prompt method (acoustic field) with a wind pressure generator (aerodynamic field) to directly move the to-be-recognized object. The wind pressure generator produces directed airflow that physically propels the object to the target distance, eliminating the need for multiple back-and-forth movements and significantly improving recognition efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a wind pressure generator that utilizes pneumatic principles to generate controlled airflow. The generator creates positive pressure to push the object forward and negative pressure (suction) to pull it backward, enabling precise and efficient positioning at the target distance with minimal movements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #29Pneumatics and hydraulics

2Length of moving object

If the to-be-recognized object is far away from the recognition device, then movement distance can be large, but the captured image becomes dark and small reducing recognition accuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedistance between object and deviceVSAvoidrecognition accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the recognition device continuously monitors the distance to the to-be-recognized object and adjusts the wind pressure generator's output accordingly. This closed-loop control ensures the object is positioned at the optimal target distance, maintaining high recognition accuracy by preventing the object from being too far or too close.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the wind pressure based on real-time distance measurements. The wind pressure generator can switch between positive pressure (for approaching) and negative pressure (for retreating), enabling precise dynamic positioning of the object at the optimal recognition distance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Length of moving object

If the to-be-recognized object is close to the recognition device, then the captured image can be bright and complete, but over-exposure occurs reducing recognition accuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedistance between object and deviceVSAvoidrecognition accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The feedback mechanism monitors when the object approaches too close to the recognition device and automatically activates the wind pressure generator to create negative pressure (suction), pulling the object back to the optimal target distance. This prevents over-exposure and maintains recognition accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically responds to distance changes by switching the wind pressure generator to negative pressure mode when the object is too close, creating a balanced dynamic positioning system that maintains the object at the optimal recognition distance regardless of initial position.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

This application provides object recognition applicable to various scenarios such as security, a cloud technology, artificial intelligence, smart transportation, and assisted driving. The object recognition may be performed by: obtaining, by a recognition device, a distance between a to-be-recognized object and the recognition device; in response to the distance being not equal to a target distance between the to-be-recognized object and the recognition device, controlling, according to the distance, a wind pressure generator to adjust a wind pressure acting on the to-be-recognized object to cause the to-be-recognized object to move to a location having the target distance; and in response to the distance being equal to the target distance, recognizing the to-be-recognized object to obtain a recognition result. In the embodiments of this application, the wind pressure acting on the to-be-recognized object is determined according to the distance between the to-be-recognized object and the recognition device.
