Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – From Alexandria, Virginia, NewsRx jour nalists report that a patent by the inventors Chae, Yeongnam (Tokyo, JP), Prakas ha, Preetham (Tokyo, JP), filed on September 8, 2020, was published online on Au gust 20, 2024. The patent’s assignee for patent number 12067708 is Rakuten Group Inc. (Tokyo, J apan). News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “BACKGROUND ART “In the field of computer technology, a strong need has developed for determinin g whether a plurality of images, each having an object, are substantially identi cal. For example, screen images of computer applications are manually designed o n a precondition that the images are displayed in a selected single execution en vironment, such as a particular smartphone. These screen images contain objects such as buttons, images, and input forms. When a design of a screen image for on e execution environment is completed, screen images of substantially the same de sign are also ported to other execution environments. This allows substantially the same screen image to be provided in various execution environments. For exam ple, a screen image designed for a particular smartphone of a particular manufac turer is ported to other smartphones of the same manufacturer or to smartphones of different manufacturers by manual or computer software automated conversion. The screen images thus obtained have often been visually checked for their subst antial identity. However, as the number of execution environments for computer a pplications increases, there is a growing need to automate such verification tas ks.”
