Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional techniques for supporting package delivery work do not effectively present attention information based on the motion state of the worker with respect to the package, leading to increased delivery errors and inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
A wearable device equipped with a camera, control unit, and communication module that recognizes packages and the user's hand through image processing, determines the motion state, and generates alert information based on package ID and motion state information received from a delivery management server, providing real-time feedback to the user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional attention information presentation methods are used, then the system is simple to implement, but delivery errors increase and delivery efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors the worker's motion state through camera-based image recognition and provides real-time feedback by presenting attention information when abnormal motion states are detected. This closed-loop feedback mechanism improves delivery accuracy by correcting improper handling behaviors as they occur, rather than relying on post-event analysis or simple predefined alerts.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical or manual monitoring systems with an automated vision-based detection system. Image recognition algorithms analyze camera footage to identify motion states, substituting human observation and manual intervention with automated optical detection and computational analysis, thereby improving reliability without proportionally increasing mechanical complexity.
2Productivity
If motion state-based alert information is implemented, then delivery efficiency improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-monitoring and self-assessment by automatically analyzing its own operational data through image recognition. The wearable device captures its own motion data, the system independently processes this data through algorithms, and generates appropriate alerts without external intervention. This self-service capability improves delivery efficiency by providing autonomous real-time guidance while keeping the system architecture relatively simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The system monitors changes in motion state parameters (such as acceleration, position, orientation) to determine when attention information should be presented. By detecting parameter changes that indicate abnormal motion patterns, the system can dynamically adjust alert presentation timing and content, improving delivery efficiency through adaptive behavior without requiring complex decision-making logic.
3Measurement precision
If real-time image recognition is performed, then motion state detection accuracy improves, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of continuous real-time analysis, the system performs image recognition at periodic intervals or triggered by specific events (such as when motion state changes are detected). This periodic processing approach maintains adequate measurement precision for detecting delivery-related motion states while significantly reducing computational load and energy consumption compared to truly continuous analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies partial image recognition processing by focusing analysis only on critical moments or specific regions of interest in the video stream, rather than processing every frame in full detail. This selective processing maintains sufficient accuracy for detecting abnormal motion states while reducing overall computational requirements and energy usage.
Data Source
AI summary
Smartglasses include: a camera; a control part; and a communication part. The camera photographs the visual field of a user. The control part acquires an image photographed by the camera, recognizes, through an image recognition process, a package and a hand of the user from the acquired image, determines the motion state of the user with respect to the package based on the positional relationship between the recognized package and hand, and recognizes, through the image recognition process, a package ID for identifying the package from the acquired image. The communication part receives, from a delivery management server, delivery information regarding the package corresponding to the recognized package ID and motion state information indicating the determined motion state. The control part generates alert information to be presented to the user based on the delivery information, and outputs the generated alert information.
