Search Patent for Data processing, computer device and storage medium
A variety of sensors have been created in response to technology’s rapid technological advancements. These sensors can be integrated into various mobile devices (for instance intelligent robots, smart robots, virtual reality, and Augmented Reality devices) to offer navigation and positioning functions. For example, in a process of robot positioning and navigation, location information of the robotmay be estimated by combining the signals that are collected by the sensors like the gyroscope and the radar.
There are various kinds of sensors emit these distinct sense signals based on frames (for instance an example, a frame rate at which an image sensor outputs a sense signal is 30 Hz; a frame rate at which an inertial sensor outputs a sensesignal is usually higher than 100 Hz, for example 500 Hz). The sensing signals, which are images and inertial signals, are able to be fed to the signal processor for fusion.
A sensor’s frame rate output with high frame rates is often utilized to create a high frame rate. The output framerate of an image sensor having low frame rate is less than that of an inertialsensor with which has a high frame rate. This means that there could be several inertial sensor signals from an inertial sensor of high frame rates within the input time length. To perform signal fusion within the input interval time length, an output frame rate sensing signals that have a low framerate are not accessible. This means that it’s difficult to find an accurate estimator, which can lead to the location information being significantly different from its true value.

What is a patent?
A patent is granted by the government to protect an invention, patents grant the inventor exclusive rights to develop, utilize to sell, and market the invention? society is benefited when a brand new technology is brought to the market. The benefits can be directly realized as people are able to achieve previously impossible feats or via the economic benefits which innovation can bring (business expansion, job creation).
Patent protection is demanded out by many university researchers and drug companies for research and development. Patents can be granted to products, processes, or method of making new materials. To be granted patent protection an invention has to be useful, new and not be obvious to anyone else in the same field.
Patents give inventors a chance to be recognized for commercially viable inventions. They are an incentive to inventors to invent. Small businesses and inventors can rest assured that they will get a return on the investment they make in technology advancement through patents. This means they will be able to earn money from their work.
Patents play a vital role in firms and can be used to:
Protect new products and services that are innovative;
Enhance the value, popularity, and appeal of your product on the market
Make your company and products stand out from the rest;
Access business and technical expertise and other information;
Avoid the risk of accidentally making use of proprietary content created by third parties or losing important information, innovative outputs, or any other output of your imagination.
Patents can transform an inventor’s knowledge into a commercially tradeable asset which opens new opportunities to create jobs and boost business growth through joint ventures or licensing.
Investors involved in the development and commercialization of technology may find small-scale businesses that have patent protection appealing.
Patenting can generate new ideas and new inventions. These information may be eligible for patent protection.
Patents can serve as a deterrent to untrustworthy third parties who profit from the efforts of an invention.
Revenues from patent-protected technology that are commercially successful could be used to finance research and development (R&D) and boost the likelihood of improved technology in the coming years.
You can use the intellectual property rights of your company to convince investors and lenders that your product has real commercial potential. Sometimes, a single patent can lead to multiple financing opportunities. Patents and other IP assets can be used as collateral or as security for debt financing. You can also show investors the patents you own to increase company valuation. Forbes and others have noted that every patent could add between $500,000 and 1 million dollars to your company’s valuation.
Startups require a carefully-crafted business plan that is built on the IP to show that your product or service is unique or superior to others. Investors will also be amazed if your IP rights are secure or in the process to becoming secure, and if they are in line with your business plan.
It is essential to keep the invention secret before applying for patent protection. A public disclosure of an invention could be detrimental to its novelty and make it invalid. Therefore, prior filing disclosures (e.g. for test-marketing, investors, or other business partners) should only be filed following the signing of a confidentiality agreement.
There are a variety of patents. Knowing them is essential to protect your invention. Patents for utility are used to protect new processes and machine creations. Design patents cover ornamental designs. Utility patents are best and protect the owner against copies and competitors. Frequently, utility patents are issued for modifications or improvements on existing inventions. They can also be used to enhance or alter existing inventions. For example, a process patent covers acts or methods for performing one specific thing, whereas chemical compositions will comprise an assortment of ingredients.
What is the length average of the patent? While utility patents are valid for 20 years from the date of their initial filing, they can be extended by delays in the Patent Office.
Are you thinking of patenting your ideas? Since patents are only granted for applicants who are first to file, you need to start filing quickly. Call a patent attorney at PatentPC to patent your idea today!
Patent searches are essential when you’re writing an application for patent. This will enable you to see other ideas and give you an understanding of their potential. It will help you limit the scope of your invention. You can also learn about the technological advancements in your field of invention. You’ll be able to get a better idea of what your invention should be, and you’ll be better prepared for writing your patent application.
How to Search for Patents
Patent searches are the first step in obtaining your patent. You can do a google patent search or do a USPTO search. Once the patent application has been submitted, the product that is that is covered by the patent application could be called patent-pending, and you can find the patent application on a public pair. After the patent office has approved the patent application, you will be able to conduct a patent number search to find the granted patent. Your product will now be patented. In addition to the USPTO search engine, you may also use other search engines like espacenet, as detailed below. A patent lawyer or patent attorney can assist you with the procedure. In the US patents are issued by the US patent and trademark office or the United States patent and trademark office, which is also responsible for examining trademark applications.
Are you looking for similar patents? These are the steps you should follow:
1. Brainstorm terms that describe your invention, based on the intention, composition, and use.
Write down a brief and precise explanation of your invention. Avoid using generic terms like “device,” “process,” and “system.” Instead, look for synonyms for the terms you chose initially. Then, take note of important technical terms and keywords.
To help you recognize terms and keywords, you can use the questions below.
- What is the purpose of the invention? Is it a utilitarian device or an ornamental design?
- Invention is a method to come up with something or to perform a function? Or is it a thing or process?
- What is the composition of the invention? What is the physical composition of the invention?
- What is the purpose of the invention?
- What are technical terms and keywords that describe the essence of an invention? A technical dictionary can assist you to identify the correct phrases.
2. Utilize these terms to locate relevant Cooperative Patent Classifications on the Classification Text Search Tool. To find the most appropriate classification to your invention, scan the classification’s class Schemes (class schedules). If you don’t see any results from the Classification Text Search, you may want to consider replacing the words to describe your invention with synonyms.
3. Examine the CPC Classification Definition to confirm the validity of the CPC classification you have found. The hyperlink to a CPC classification definition will be given when the classification you have selected is a blue square with a “D” to the left. CPC classification definitions will help determine the scope of the classification, so you are sure to select the one you consider to be the most relevant. Furthermore they can provide some tips for searching and other information which could be helpful for further research.
4. The Patents Full-Text Database and the Image Database allow you to retrieve patent documents that include the CPC classification. You can review and select the relevant patent publications by studying first the abstract and drawings representative of.
5. This collection of patent publications is the most effective to look at for any connections to your idea. Be sure to read the claims and specification. You may find additional patents through contacting the patent examiner and the applicant.
6. You can find published patent applications that match the CPC classification that you chose in Step 3. You may also employ the same strategy of searching you used in step 4 to limit your results to just the most relevant patent applications by reviewing the abstracts as well as the drawings on each page. After that, take a close look at the published patent applications and pay particular attention to the claims and the additional drawings.
7. You can find other US patent publications using keyword searches in AppFT or PatFT databases, as well as the classification search of patents that are not issued in the United States as according to below. Also, you can utilize web search engines to search for non-patent-related literature disclosures about inventions. For instance:
- Add keywords to your search. Keyword searches may turn up documents that are not well-categorized or have missed classifications during Step 2. For example, US patent examiners often supplement their classification searches with keyword searches. Think about the use of technical engineering terminology rather than everyday words.
- Search for foreign patents using the CPC classification. Then, re-run the search using international patent office search engines such as Espacenet, the European Patent Office’s worldwide patent publication database of over 130 million patent publications. Other national databases include:
- European Patent Office (EPO) provides esp@cenet to access a network of Europe’s patent databases with access to machine translation of European patents.
- Japan Patent Office (JPO) – with access to machine translations of Japanese patents.
- World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) offers PATENTSCOPE with a full-text search of published international patent applications and machine translations for some documents, as well as a list of international patent databases.
- Korean Intellectual Property Rights Information Service (KIPRIS)
- State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) with machine translation of Chinese patents.
- Other International Intellectual Property Offices with online patent databases include Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Israel, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and Taiwan.
- Search non-patent literature. Inventions can be made public in many non-patent publications. It is recommended that you search journals, books, websites, technical catalogs, conference proceedings, and other print and electronic publications.
To review your search, you can hire a registered patent attorney to assist. A preliminary search will help one better prepare to talk about their invention and other related inventions with a professional patent attorney. In addition, the attorney will not spend too much time or money on patenting basics.
