Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for object location detection in multi-dimensional spaces face inefficiencies due to long scanning times and poor discrimination of objects in large volumes, especially when the data volume from the background overwhelms the object data, leading to detection failures and increased response times.

Innovation Solution

A method that configures a multi-dimensional sensing apparatus to generate multiple sets of sensed data at different resolutions, combines these data sets, performs averaging and comparison operations to enhance signal-to-noise ratios, and uses subtraction operations to create motion indication tables, allowing for efficient location prediction and background noise reduction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the scanning resolution is increased to improve object discrimination, then the detection precision is improved, but the scanning time becomes too long causing detection failure for motion traces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject discrimination capabilityVSAvoidscanning time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the multi-dimensional space into multiple sub-spaces and performs scanning in a hierarchical manner. First, a coarse scan identifies potential object regions, then refined scans are performed only on those specific sub-spaces. This segmentation approach maintains high detection precision for objects while significantly reducing the total scanning time by avoiding exhaustive scanning of the entire space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If the scanning resolution is reduced to shorten scanning time, then the response time is improved, but the discrimination of neighboring objects fails

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescanning speedVSAvoidobject discrimination capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic scanning strategy where the resolution and scanning scope are adjusted based on detected object characteristics. After initial detection, the system dynamically focuses scanning resources on regions containing objects, increasing local resolution only where needed. This dynamic adaptation maintains high scanning speed while ensuring sufficient discrimination capability for detected objects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Area of stationary object

If the multi-dimensional space volume grows large, then the coverage area is improved, but the response time of sensing apparatus lengthens due to growing data volume

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespace coverageVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and processes only the essential information from the multi-dimensional sensing data. By using statistical operations (mean, standard deviation) and focusing on characteristic values rather than processing all raw data points, the system maintains comprehensive space coverage while significantly reducing data processing time and improving response speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Area of stationary object

If the data volume from background is much larger than object data, then the background coverage is improved, but the detection efficiency becomes poor when only object information is needed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebackground coverageVSAvoiddetection efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts object information from background data by performing statistical operations and comparing characteristic values. The system calculates mean and standard deviation of sensed data, then identifies objects by detecting significant deviations from the background statistical profile. This extraction approach efficiently isolates object signals from the much larger background data volume, dramatically improving detection efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different processing quality levels to different data regions. Background areas undergo statistical summarization with lower processing intensity, while regions containing objects receive focused analysis with higher processing quality. This local quality differentiation allows the system to maintain comprehensive background coverage while concentrating computational resources on object detection, improving overall efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
