Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional visual search technologies provide poorly targeted and low-accuracy search results due to the lack of effective methods for determining the arrangement order of objects in an image, leading to inefficient feedback to users.

Innovation Solution

A method that determines the arrangement order of objects in an image based on scene intent weight, confidence score, and object relationship score, using image detection processing to prioritize and filter search results, thereby enhancing the accuracy and relevance of the feedback provided to users.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If search results are fed back according to the arrangement order of objects in the image, then the feedback process is simple, but the accuracy of the search result is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of search resultVSAvoidcomplexity of feedback process
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of object arrangement by introducing multiple scoring dimensions (scene intent weight, confidence score, object relationship score) to reorder objects before feedback. This transforms the simple spatial arrangement into a multi-criteria ranked arrangement, improving search result accuracy without significantly increasing system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple evaluation factors (scene intent weight, confidence score, object relationship score) into a composite scoring system for object arrangement. This composite approach integrates different aspects of object importance to achieve more accurate search result feedback while maintaining a unified feedback process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Productivity

If all objects in the image are searched, then completeness of search is high, but the feedback is poorly targeted and efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of search feedbackVSAvoidtargeting accuracy of feedback
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the treatment of different objects based on their individual characteristics (scene intent weight, confidence score, object relationship score). Objects with higher scores receive prioritized feedback, creating localized optimization in the feedback process that improves both efficiency and targeting accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary action by calculating scene intent weight, confidence scores, and object relationship scores for all objects before the feedback process. This pre-ranking of objects based on multiple criteria enables efficient targeted feedback without requiring all objects to be searched equally, improving both productivity and information quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

In one example method, a first image including M objects is obtained. For N objects in the M objects, when N is greater than or equal to 2, arrangement orders of the N objects is determined, where an arrangement order of any one of the N objects is determined based on at least one of a scene intent weight, a confidence score, or an object relationship score. The scene intent weight is used to indicate a probability that the any object is searched in a scene corresponding to the first image, the confidence score is a similarity between the any object and an image in an image library, and the object relationship score is used to indicate importance of the any object in the first image. Search results of some or all of the N objects are fed back according to the arrangement orders of the N objects.
