Operator Terminal Image Search Attachment Information Application Execution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current image searching systems face limitations in providing enhanced information services beyond basic content retrieval, as they struggle to effectively utilize captured images for advanced operations or services such as augmented reality applications.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system and method that enables an operator terminal to capture images, transmit them to an image searching system, and receive attachment information, which is then used to acquire specific content from a network storage location, allowing the execution of applications based on the received information, including augmented reality functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the image searching system only provides basic content retrieval, then the system complexity is low, but the information service capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The image searching system is enhanced to perform multiple functions: basic image search, attachment information retrieval, and application execution. The system can handle various types of requests (image search, application launch, content acquisition) through a unified architecture that processes different request types and returns appropriate responses, making it versatile without requiring separate specialized systems
Solution Approach 2:
Attachment information serves as an intermediary data structure that bridges the image search function and application execution capability. This intermediate layer contains structured information (application identifiers, parameters, storage locations) that enables the system to transition from simple content retrieval to complex service delivery without directly coupling different functional components
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system stores detailed attachment information for each image, then the information service capability is enhanced, but the memory requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential attachment information needed for application execution and content acquisition, rather than storing complete application data or redundant image metadata. The attachment information contains specifically curated elements (application identifiers, storage locations, parameters) that are sufficient for enhanced services while minimizing storage overhead
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of storing complete application packages with each image, the system stores minimal reference information (identifiers and locations) that points to the actual application data stored elsewhere. This inverts the traditional approach by storing what is needed to access information rather than storing the information itself, significantly reducing memory requirements

AI summary
An information processing system includes an operator terminal to transmit a captured image, and an image searching system connected with the operator terminal. The image searching system includes a first memory to store a registration image of a registration object and associated attachment information, and first circuitry configured to receive the captured image from the operator terminal, search the attachment information based the captured image, and transmit the attachment information. The operator terminal includes second circuitry to transmit the captured image to the image searching system, receive the attachment information from the image searching system, acquire a specific content from a storage location on a network in accordance with the received attachment information, execute a first application to perform a specific operation using the specific content, and execute a second application to call the first application when the received attachment information includes a text string designating the specific operation.
