Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle image acquisition systems cannot correlate multiple pieces of image information of a vehicle, providing only one unclear piece of information to users, making it difficult to judge vehicle violations or identify detailed vehicle information.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that utilize a WiFi detector to obtain unique identification information of WiFi terminals, combining this information with vehicle image data to enable the data server to correlate and provide multiple pieces of image information to users, allowing clearer data selection and violation judgment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If multiple image acquisition devices capture vehicle images, then the quantity of image information increases, but the data server cannot correlate these images and can only provide one unclear piece to the user

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of image informationVSAvoidloss of image correlation information
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces WiFi detection information as an intermediary element to correlate multiple vehicle images. The image acquisition device obtains WiFi detection information (MAC addresses) from terminals in the vehicle, and uses this information as a mediator to link multiple images captured by different devices. The data server then uses this WiFi information to correlate images that would otherwise be impossible to connect, enabling the user to receive multiple correlated clear images instead of one unclear image.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If only one piece of image information is provided to the user, then the system complexity is reduced, but the user cannot clearly judge vehicle violations or identify detailed vehicle information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidimage information clarity
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the image provision process into two parts: the data server provides multiple segmented image pieces to the user, and the user's terminal device performs the final assembly and selection. This segmentation allows the server to send multiple clear images without overwhelming complexity, while the user can select the clearest image or composite them to judge violations and identify vehicle details.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If the data server stores and processes multiple vehicle image pieces, then the user can select clearer data, but the requirement for image correlation capability increases system complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser data selection capabilityVSAvoidimage correlation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having the image acquisition device obtain and attach WiFi detection information to each image before sending it to the data server. This preliminary correlation work is done at the edge device, so when the user requests images, the server can quickly retrieve and provide multiple correlated images without needing complex real-time correlation processing capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
