Solution Overview

Problem

Existing AI systems struggle to efficiently utilize multiple computing units for object recognition tasks, leading to suboptimal performance and increased power consumption due to the lack of effective assignment of recognition models based on space and computing unit characteristics.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device is equipped with a plurality of computing units and recognition models, which divides a space into subset spaces based on object information, assigns specific recognition models to each subset space based on their characteristics, and allocates these models to computing units with matching capabilities, optimizing the use of resources for efficient object recognition.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the entire space into multiple subset spaces based on spatial structure information and object distribution characteristics. Each subset space is then assigned a dedicated recognition model tailored to its specific characteristics, enabling optimized object recognition performance in each region while maintaining overall system manageability through automated segmentation processes.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements local quality by assigning different recognition models to different subset spaces based on their specific characteristics such as spatial structure, object density, and environmental features. This allows each region to receive the most appropriate model for its specific requirements, improving overall recognition efficiency while adapting to local variations in the environment.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-dividing the space into subset spaces and pre-assigning appropriate recognition models to computing units based on their characteristics before actual object recognition tasks begin. This preparation phase establishes a structured framework that simplifies runtime operations and reduces the complexity of dynamic model management during execution.
