Information Recording Device Service Data Association
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information recording devices and methods lack the capability to effectively associate image data with service information, limiting the flexibility and user intention in performing various services related to the image data, such as album creation, slide show creation, and image storage, especially in network-based communication systems.
Innovation Solution
An information recording device and method that acquires data and records service information, including details on services that can be performed using the data, such as album creation, slide show creation, and image storage, in association with the image data, allowing for meta-information recording and retrieval of service details like aspect ratios, image effects, and user preferences, enabling seamless execution of services across multiple servers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If service information is recorded in association with image data, then service flexibility and user intention are improved, but data structure complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The service information is segmented into distinct components including service identification information, service parameter information, and service execution information. Each component is stored as a separate data element that can be independently processed and managed, reducing the complexity of the overall data structure while maintaining service flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimensional layer of service information that overlays the traditional image data structure. Instead of modifying the core image data format, service information is added as a parallel data dimension that associates metadata, parameters, and execution instructions with the image data without fundamentally altering the underlying image storage structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple services are associated with image data, then service variety increases, but information management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The service information structure is designed with universal components that can accommodate multiple different services through a common framework. Service identification information uses a standardized format that can represent various service types (album creation, slide show, image storage, etc.), allowing the system to manage diverse services through a unified information management approach.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces service parameter information as an intermediary layer between the image data and service execution. This intermediary structure contains standardized parameters that mediate between different service requirements and the underlying data, simplifying information management by providing a consistent interface for handling multiple services.
3Manufacturing precision
If service information is recorded with image data, then service execution accuracy improves, but recording overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential service execution information from the complete service description and records it alongside the image data. This includes service identification, key parameters, and execution instructions, while leaving out detailed service implementation logic that can be retrieved from service definitions elsewhere, thereby reducing recording overhead while maintaining execution accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
Service information is recorded and prepared in advance when the image data is captured or uploaded, rather than being generated or determined at the time of service execution. This preliminary recording of service preferences, parameters, and intended uses allows for accurate service execution without requiring additional processing overhead during actual service delivery.

AI summary
An information recording device includes a data acquisition unit and a service information recording unit. The data acquisition unit acquires data. The service information recording unit records in a recording unit service information including information regarding each of a plurality of services which may be performed utilizing the data acquired by the data acquisition unit in association with the data acquired by the data acquisition unit.
