This invention describes a way to search for things online by drawing a shape directly onto an image of an item. When a user sees an item in an image and draws a simple shape, like a circle or a square, over part of it, the system figures out what kind of shape the user drew and extracts details from that specific area. It then uses this information to find other items that match those details and belong to the same general shape category.
Why it matters: Filed before the widespread availability of powerful mobile device processors and advanced machine learning for real-time image analysis. These advancements now make on-device feature extraction and shape categorization much more efficient and accurate, enabling a smoother user experience for graphical search.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
