Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image recognition technologies require separate entry controls for object and code image recognition, leading to inefficient user operations and increased steps for switching between different types of image recognition.
Innovation Solution
An image recognition method and apparatus that allows a single operation to trigger both object and code image recognition, eliminating the need for separate entry controls by determining the image type and performing the corresponding recognition process within the same image stream.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If separate entry controls are used for object image recognition and code image recognition, then the recognition functions can be independently controlled, but the user operation complexity increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges separate entry controls for object image recognition and code image recognition into a single unified entry control. The processing circuitry receives a single image input and automatically determines whether to perform object recognition, code recognition, or both simultaneously, eliminating the need for users to switch between multiple entry controls and thereby improving operational efficiency while reducing control structure complexity.
2Productivity
If a single operation triggers both object and code image recognition, then user operation efficiency improves, but the recognition process complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the processing circuitry perform image type determination before executing the full recognition process. When a single recognition trigger is received, the circuitry first analyzes the input image to identify its type (object image, code image, or both), then selectively executes the appropriate recognition procedures. This preliminary classification step streamlines the overall process by avoiding unnecessary recognition operations while maintaining high productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by making the recognition process adaptive and flexible. The processing circuitry dynamically adjusts the recognition workflow based on the detected image type composition. If the image contains both object and code elements, the system performs both recognition types; if it contains only one type, only that specific recognition is executed. This dynamic adaptation optimizes processing efficiency while managing system complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
An image recognition method of a terminal is provided. An image sensor is controlled to capture an image stream in response to receiving an image recognition trigger. A first image is extracted from the image stream. A determination is made as to whether an image type of the first image is one of an object image and a code image. One of a plurality of recognition processes is performed on a second image in the image stream according to the determined image type.
