Abstract

Provided are a method, device and system for realizing visual identification. A visual identification device learns a visual identification feature of an identified device, and performs visual identification on the identified device accordingly. Thus automatic identification of the device is realized in a visual manner, and the unified manipulation on multiple identified devices can be easily realized.

Claims

1. A method for realizing visual identification, comprising:

learning, by a visual identification device, a visual identification feature of an identified device, and performing visual identification on the identified device according to the visual identification feature.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the way of learning the visual identification feature comprises:

receiving, by the visual identification device, a message from the identified device, wherein the message comprises the visual identification feature of the identified device;

or,

sending, by the visual identification device, a message to the identified device, and receiving a response message from the identified device, wherein the response message comprises the visual identification feature of the identified device.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the process of performing the visual identification on the identified device comprises:

obtaining a visual identity which is used for identifying the identified device, and comparing the visual identity with the visual identification feature of the identified device to identify the identified device.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the way of obtaining the visual identity comprises:

acquiring, by the visual identification device, an image or video clip in a visual range through a camera, and analyzing the acquired image or video clip to obtain the visual identity;

or,

reading, by the visual identification device, the visual identity which is pre-stored by the visual identification device itself.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein after completing the visual identification on the identified device, the visual identification device performs identification result verification with the identified device.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the identification result verification is implemented in a way that the identified device sends a visual signal to the visual identification device.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the visual signal comprises at least one of the following:

a visible optical signal, an invisible optical signal, an optical signal feature, and a figure and image on a display screen.

9. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

after completing the visual identification on the identified device, measuring, by the visual identification device, spatial location information of the identified device.

5. (canceled)

10. (canceled)

11. A device for realizing visual identification, the device being a visual identification device and comprising an identifying-side control unit and an identifying-side execution unit;

wherein,

the identifying-side control unit is configured to learn a visual identification feature of an identified device, and control the identifying-side execution unit to perform visual identification on the identified device according to the visual identification feature; and

the identifying-side execution unit is configured to perform the visual identification on the identified device according to the control of the identifying-side control unit.

12. The device according to claim 11, wherein when learning the visual identification feature, the identifying-side control unit is configured to:

receive a message from the identified device, wherein the message comprises the visual identification feature of the identified device;

or

send a message to the identified device, and receive a response message from the identified device, wherein the response message comprises the visual identification feature of the identified device.

13. The device according to claim 11, wherein when performing the visual identification on the identified device, the identifying-side execution unit is configured to:

obtain a visual identity which is used for identifying the identified device, and compare the visual identity with the visual identification feature of the identified device to identify the identified device.

14. The device according to claim 13, wherein when obtaining the visual identity, the identifying-side execution unit is configured to:

acquire an image or video clip in a visual range through a camera, and analyze the acquired image or video clip to obtain the visual identity;

or,

read the visual identity which is pre-stored in the visual identification device.

16. The device according to claim 11, wherein the identifying-side control unit is further configured to, after completing the visual identification on the identified device, control the identifying-side execution unit to perform identification result verification with the identified device.

17. The device according to claim 16, wherein when performing the identification result verification, the identifying-side execution unit is configured to receive a visual signal from the identified device to implement the identification result verification.

19. The device according to claim 11, wherein after completing the visual identification on the identified device, the identifying-side control unit is further configured to control the identifying-side execution unit to measure spatial location information of the identified device.

23. A device for realizing visual identification, the device being an identified device and comprising an identified-side control unit and an identified-side execution unit;

wherein,

the identified-side control unit is configured to control the identified-side execution unit to provide a visual identification feature of the identified device to a visual identification device; and

the identified-side execution unit is configured to provide the visual identification feature to the visual identification device according to the control of the identified-side control unit.

24. The device according to claim 23, wherein when providing the visual identification feature, the identified-side execution unit is configured to:

send a message to the visual identification device, wherein the message comprises the visual identification feature;

or,

receive a message from the visual identification device, and return a response message to the visual identification device, wherein the response message comprises the visual identification feature.

25. The device according to claim 23, wherein the identified-side control unit is further configured to control the identified-side execution unit to perform identification result verification with the visual identification device.

26. The device according to claim 25, wherein when performing the identification result verification, the identified-side control unit is configured to send a visual signal to the visual identification device to implement the identification result verification.

27. The device according to claim 26, wherein the visual signal comprises at least one of the following:

a visible optical signal, an invisible optical signal, an optical signal feature, and a figure and image on a display screen.
