Web-Based Defect Inspection Tool Selection for Industrial Lines
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing defect inspection solutions for industrial products are costly to develop and maintain, require additional operating systems, and provide overly complex visual overlays, failing to adapt to varying inspection needs across different production lines and industries.
Innovation Solution
A method for inspecting product defects using an electronic device that selects and deploys specific inspection tools based on product category, reduces development costs by employing web development technologies, and provides flexible display modes to improve readability and usability, including automatic and manual labeling with clear visual cues.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If native applications are used for defect inspection, then inspection functionality is provided, but development cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs web-based technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) that can run across multiple operating systems and devices without requiring separate native applications for each platform. This universal approach allows a single inspection tool to serve multiple functions across different production lines and industries, eliminating the need for separate development efforts for each platform while maintaining full inspection functionality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If native applications are developed for specific operating systems, then platform-specific functionality is achieved, but maintenance complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
By using web-based technologies that are universally supported across operating systems, the patent achieves platform-specific functionality through browser compatibility rather than separate native applications. This reduces maintenance complexity as updates and improvements need to be made only once in the web-based codebase, and automatically become available across all platforms without requiring separate maintenance efforts for each operating system.
3Reliability
If defect labeling overlays are applied on product images, then defect detection is enabled, but visual complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies defect labeling overlays with localized visual properties that adapt to the specific defect type and location. Rather than using uniform overlays across all defects, the system adjusts the labeling appearance (such as outline style, color, and transparency) based on the local characteristics of each defect and the surrounding product area. This ensures defect detection accuracy while maintaining visual clarity and avoiding excessive overlay complexity.
4Adaptability or versatility
If all-round inspection tools are bundled in a single application, then comprehensive inspection capability is provided, but functionality bloat occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a modular inspection tool architecture where comprehensive inspection capabilities are divided into separate, independently selectable inspection modules. Each module can be individually configured and activated based on specific production line requirements. This segmentation allows the system to provide comprehensive inspection capability when needed while avoiding functionality bloat by only loading and running the specific modules required for each inspection task, rather than bundling all tools in every deployment.

AI summary
A method for inspecting product defects implemented in an electronic device includes determining a category of a product, and obtaining golden sample images of the product; selecting at least one inspection tool by a preset application according to the category of the product; creating labeling information of the golden sample image of the product according to the selected inspection tools; and obtaining at least one image of a product to be inspected, and inspecting the at least one image of the product to be inspected according to the labeling information of the golden sample images of the product.
