Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic devices struggle to accurately identify objects in videos when the device is rotated, as the rotation introduces errors in object recognition and distance estimation.

Innovation Solution

The electronic device employs a combination of a gyro sensor and a designated estimation model to obtain rotation data, which is then used to calculate a rotation value for the video information. This rotation value allows the device to correctly identify objects in the video by rotating the video data accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the electronic device uses a camera to obtain video information, then the device can capture visual data, but when the device is rotated the object identification accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject identification accuracyVSAvoiddevice rotation adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces rotation data as an intermediary element that mediates between the camera's video capture and the object identification process. The rotation data, obtained from gyro sensors and estimation models, serves as a bridge that allows the system to compensate for device rotation and maintain accurate object identification regardless of device orientation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of video information by applying rotation compensation based on obtained rotation data. The processor modifies the video parameters (rotation angle, orientation) to counteract the device's physical rotation, thereby maintaining consistent object identification accuracy across different device orientations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If the electronic device combines gyro sensor and estimation model to obtain rotation data, then the rotation value accuracy improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverotation value accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges two different approaches to obtaining rotation data: direct measurement from gyro sensors and indirect estimation from video information using an estimation model. By combining these complementary methods, the system achieves higher rotation value accuracy than either method alone, while distributing the computational load across different components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent makes the rotation data acquisition system multi-functional by using the same infrastructure (processor, memory) to both capture video information and process gyro sensor data. The estimation model serves multiple purposes: it processes video data and simultaneously provides rotation estimation, reducing the need for dedicated hardware components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
