Technical illustrations are often complex, full of details and some things remain hidden at first glance. They form a dense network of functions and interrelationships, disguised as an image. If you really want to understand them and gain the maximum amount of information from them, you usually have to delve deep into the patent specification, search for definitions and check cross-references – a laborious process. Our SMART FIGURES function transforms every patent drawing into an interactive figure: individual features become tangible, meanings become visible.
Query in 2 Directions
Until now, one rule applied to patent drawings: if you want to know something, you have to find it out for yourself. SMART FIGURES changes this principle. Our AI understands the figure and explains where certain features are described – in both directions:
1)
Would you like to know exactly where a certain feature is shown within the patent figure? A scroll over the respective description is enough to get a hint to the desired feature.
2)
Do you want to know directly from the image what the feature is? No problem. Smart Figures thinks for itself – and responds immediately. Here too, a mouse-hover is all it takes to obtain the desired information.
This turns passive searching into active understanding: faster, more intuitive and more precise than ever before. One click reveals connections that were previously hidden, making patent knowledge not only faster but also more efficiently accessible – exactly when you need it.
Manually deciphering detailed patent figures is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also requires a high level of concentration and expertise on the part of the researcher – a task that is essential, but at the same time almost predestined for AI. It analyzes the details and transforms them into an interactive, easy-to-understand presentation. This enables fast, error-free analysis, which saves experts time and frees up their concentration for more strategic tasks.
