Communication Terminal Object Detection Distance Threshold
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In IoT communication systems utilizing edge computing, there is a redundancy in transmitting image data for objects that have not changed significantly, leading to inefficient data processing and increased bandwidth usage.
Innovation Solution
A communication terminal that calculates the distance between the positions of detected objects over time and only transmits new image data if the distance exceeds a predetermined threshold, thereby reducing unnecessary data transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If image data is transmitted every time an object is detected or changes position, then object detection accuracy is maintained, but bandwidth usage increases and processing efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by transmitting only a subset of detected image data - specifically, only when the distance between consecutive object positions exceeds a threshold. This selective transmission maintains detection accuracy for significant changes while avoiding redundant transmissions for minor variations, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and productivity
2Speed
If image data is transmitted every time an object is detected or changes position, then real-time monitoring is improved, but bandwidth usage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating transmission behavior based on the specific characteristic of object movement. Instead of uniform transmission for all detections, it transmits only when local changes (position distance) exceed a threshold, optimizing bandwidth usage while maintaining real-time monitoring for significant events
3Reliability
If repeated requests are transmitted for the same object, then verification completeness is improved, but data processing efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent prevents excessive verification requests by checking whether the detected object's position change exceeds a threshold before transmitting. This partial action approach ensures verification completeness for meaningful changes while eliminating redundant processing time for identical or near-identical objects

AI summary
A communication terminal communicably connected with a server, including circuitry to: obtain first image data of at least a part of a first object detected at a first point of time; transmit the first image data to the server to request verification of the first image data; obtain second image data of at least a part of a second object detected at a second point of time, the second point of time being a time later than the first point of time; calculate a distance between a first position indicating a position of the first object at the first point of time, and a second position indicating a position of the second object at the second point of time; and control not to transmit the second image data based on a determination indicating that the calculated distance is equal to or less than a threshold
