地:USPTO
物:人工智慧重要技術專利權多已被美國大廠囊括,像是IBM、Microsoft、Google、Apple、Intel、Amazon等。其中,文獻資料研究發現,人工智慧重要運算系統與應用,包括神經網路、專家系統、模糊邏輯、遺傳演算法、自然語言處理、機器學習等,並且各有擅長之處,像是神經網路主要處理學習、專家系統主要模擬人類推理、模糊邏輯主要處理不明確性程度、遺傳演算法主要處理最佳化問題、自然語言處理主要執行人機對談互動、機器學習則能夠自動學習識別數據規律性作出預測。
摘要:
2016年3月全球科技界關注焦點之一:圍棋九段棋手李世石對弈人工智慧AlphaGo,五局對戰結果,AlphaGo以四勝一敗戰績打敗人類棋王。這是繼1997年人工智慧Deep Blue打敗西洋棋世界冠軍卡斯巴羅夫之後,人工智慧又一次戰勝人腦,說明AlphaGo採用的人工智慧運算系統已有突破性進展。
就人工智慧國際大廠重要技術項目布局分析,專利主要集中在自然語言處理,其次依序為專家系統、神經網路、模糊邏輯、遺傳演算法、機器學習。人工智慧可說是物聯網架構下促使電子資訊產品蛻變為智慧連網產品的關鍵推手,像是智慧車、智慧家電、智慧管家、智慧寵物、智慧行動電話等,都需要人工智慧運算系統的導入,才得以呈現智慧化功能。

USPTO 專利案Ramer
根據專利案Ramer之圖1~2,4,7~9、摘要及說明書第21~110及137所述內容可知,此專利案Ramer揭露了一種具有感測器的發光裝置(Exemplary lighting
devices have sensors)。其中,專利案Ramer具有第一及第二感測器,並以第一感測器感測第一情況以及第二感測器感測第二情況,藉此發光裝置根據第一情況或第二情況以進行發光作業。
更進一步來說,專利案Ramer的請求項4已公開「a sensor for detecting
temperature of one or more components of the lighting device, a feedback light
sensor for detecting intensity or other characteristic of light produced by the
lighting device, an occupancy sensor for detecting a condition indicative of
occupancy of a region to be illuminated by the lighting device and an ambient
light sensor for detecting ambient light near the lighting device.」。以及專利案Ramer的請求項9已公開「the
sensor is a type of sensor selected from the group consisting of: a fire
detector, a smoke detector, an airborne chemical detector, an airborne
biological agent detector, a carbon monoxide sensor, an air temperature sensor,
an air pressure detector, a humidity sensor, a moisture detector, an air speed
detector, and a micro-electro-mechanical system type sensor.」也就是說,專利案Ramer已公開偵測環境亮度的感測器及偵測佔有的感測器。
然而,專利案Ramer並未公開dusk-dawn mode和lifestyle mode。且專利案Ramer並未公開「and upon the timer ending count the lighting device is then converted to
a motion sensor activated illumination, in which the lighting device is
normally at a standby status with non or low-power illumination and is switched
to illuminate with full power for a short time interval only when the body
motion is detected by the motion sensor; wherein the lifestyle mode
ends at daybreak when the lighting device is turned off by the photo sensor,
and the microcontroller is reset to enter the next operating cycle」之技術特徵。
關於區別:
執行lifestyle mode時,其中於光伏感測器感測到黑夜時,發光裝置自動發光一計時時段,並於計時器停止計時時,發光裝置轉換為移動感測器來感測發光。且發光裝置係處於待命狀態,待命狀態係指發光裝置處於低功耗並於移動感測器感測到物體時,發光裝置可瞬間啟動照明光。然而,專利案Ramer並未公開上述技術特徵。尤其是,「透過光伏感測器感測光亮度以自動啟動發光,並由計時器計時停止後,再轉換為移動感測器來感測移動物動來發光」之技術特徵,並未被專利案Ramer所揭露。
簡單來說,專利案Ramer僅公開根據不同感測器的感測訊號以輸出不同的發光亮度,例如根據發光裝置的溫度或是如地震等外力,而使發光裝置輸出不同的發光亮度。
此外,專利案Ramer並未公開任何時點設定、固定時點設定以及固定時段設定等技術特徵。例如專利案Ramer並未公開固定時點設定中的「可程式化的計時器可根據季節時效以移動夜晚時間,以使發光裝置與季節夜晚時間同步並調整發光時間」之技術特徵。

USPTO專利案Zaman & Ngari
根據專利案Zaman(US 2010/0079498)之圖2~4及說明書第30~31段所述內容可知,此專利案Zaman揭露了一種multi-model magnification system(多模式放大系統),運用於多種形式的輸入,例如基於觸摸的自然輸入。用戶可於互動的首選模式中放大/縮小和平移(包括透過滑鼠、鍵盤、手寫筆和互動觸摸)。系統對一些模式提供專用的功能,如捏/滾動手勢的觸摸輸入,使用戶能夠輕鬆放大/縮小和平移放大的區域(例如,在觸摸的筆記本電腦上)。簡單來說,專利案Zaman之多模式放大系統可根據訊息(message handler),以產生系統放大鏡。
根據專利案Ngari(US 2007/0033543)之圖3及說明書第12~14、23~24及30~31段所述內容可知,此專利案Ngari揭露了一種display screen magnifier(顯示螢幕放大鏡),可被使用者控制以放大桌面所選擇的區域(包括於螢幕上開啟的視窗)。藉此降低指向游標通過介於放大區域及放大鏡框之間的鏡頭陰影(lens shadow)。簡單來說,專利案Ngari具有軟體放大鏡,且系統呼叫軟體放大鏡,以釋放具有版本資訊的軟體放大鏡。
基於上述,以專利案Ngari可以取得放大系統的版本資訊,以及專利案Zaman可產生具有版本資訊的告知指令之簡單組合。
其中,(1)專利案Zaman使用執行檔(executable file)去呼叫動態連接資料庫(dynamic-link library),並使用動態連接庫(dynamic-link
library)去執行三個模式其中之一。
其中,(2)專利案Zaman的作業系統係判斷特定的作業系統(OS)服務(如dwm.exe)是否有效。
其中,(3)專利案Zaman並未公開”相同的功能鍵被按壓,以輸出一第一放大指令或一第二放大指令”之技術特徵。
關於區別(1):
請參考專利案Zaman之圖2及說明書第28-30段所述內容,所述內容如下:
“FIG.
2 is a block diagram that illustrates a Microsoft Windows-based operating
environment of the magnifier panning system, in one embodiment. The
system includes an executable file 210, a supporting dynamic-link
library 250, and 3 modules provided by the operating system,
wisptis.exe 260, win32k.sys 270, and dwm.exe 280. The
executable file 210, called magnify.exe,creates the process that
controls the user interface and provides the end-to-end user experience. The
magnifier.exe process controls the magnification, keeps track of input events,
and moves the magnified view accordingly. The executable
file 210 may provide 3 modes, full-screen mode 220, lens
mode 230, and legacy mode 240. The full-screen
mode 220 projects a magnified version of the user's desktop on the
display device. One can envision it like a huge magnifier lens that covers the
entire display. The lens mode 230 displays a magnified view of the
desktop in a window that is smaller than the size of the display. This mode
acts more like a traditional physical magnifying glass.The legacy mode
240 provides magnification with reduced functionality, such as when
certain operating system services (e.g., dwm.exe) are not available. For
example, during logon Microsoft Windows does not provide applications access to
certain services.
The dynamic-link
library 250, magnification.dll, provides an application-programming
interface (API) exposed to internal and external magnification controllers. The
executable file 210 magnify.exe and other applications call this API
to request various magnification services. The dynamic-link
library 250 acts as a proxy between the magnification controller, the
kernel-mode state for the magnification context, and the desktop compositor.
Win32k.sys 270 is
a kernel-mode driver that handles the bulk of the Win32K API on Microsoft
Windows. Win32k.sys 270includes a Raw
Input Thread (RIT) that handles input processing for the magnifier panning
system. Win32k.sys 270 also handles security and context control. Dwm.exe 280 provides
the DWM process that keeps track of application and other windows.
Dwm.exe 280 handles the output compositing and magnification for the
magnifier panning system. Wisptis.exe 260 is responsible for input
to a tablet via a stylus or touch and consumes input transformation functions
provided by Win32K.sys 270 to transform absolute clicking to work in
magnified contexts (e.g., what you see is what you click).”
換句話說,當動態連接資料庫(dynamic-link library 250)存在於作業系統(OS)中時,專利案Zaman執行具有三個模式的執行檔210,以呼叫動態連接資料庫 250。用於Microsoft
Windows之不同的OS會具有不同的動態連接資料庫 250。而,Mac, Linux或其他廠牌的OS不具有動態連接資料庫 250;或是Window XP的動態連接資料庫 250係不同於Window Vista的動態連接資料庫 250。也就是說,專利案Zaman透過動態連接資料庫(dynamic-link
library 250)無法達到跨平台之功效。
假設執行檔210運作於Window
Vista或更高版本。當執行檔210被複製到另一個OS中(例如,Window XP 或更低版本)。於Window XP 或更低版本中,介於執行檔210與動態連接資料庫 250之間的互動關係將產生變化。也許執行檔210不能呼叫在Window
XP的動態連接資料庫 250的全部功能。或者在Window XP的執行檔210不能執行放大鏡。因此,當特定的OS的服務(例如dwm.exe)不能提供時,專利案Zaman不能使用放大鏡的全部功能。換句話說,於專利案Zaman中,動態連接資料庫 250是不可攜的,且動態連接資料庫 250並不能達到跨系統的運作。因此,於專利案Zaman中,全螢幕模式220 (full-screen
mode 220)和透鏡模式230( lens mode 230)是無效的,具有三種模式的執行檔210或許只能使用精簡模式240( legacy mode 240)。其中,精簡模式240係屬減少功能的放大鏡,並且不同跨平台使用放大鏡,假如動態連接資料庫 250被改變了。
關於區別(2):
Dwm.exe 280用以提供DWM處理程序,致使應用程序與其他windows保持連線。假設動態連接資料庫不能支援內建放大鏡的功能。因為介於執行檔210與動態連接資料庫250之間的鏈路被破壞,致使專利案Zaman之精簡模式也許不能作用。假設動態連接資料庫不能支援內建系統放大鏡的功能,那執行檔如何與動態連接資料庫互動呢?因此,專利案Zaman並未教導OS支援內建放大鏡之判斷之技術特徵。專利案Zaman僅教導精簡模式(減少功能的放大鏡),運用於登錄Microsoft Windows的登錄作業情況下。
專利案Zaman的判斷過程是,由OS作業系統判斷執行檔210與動態連接資料庫250之間的互動關係。於專利案Zaman中,OS作業系統判斷特定的作業系統服務(如dwm.exe)不能被提供,以決定使用哪一種模式。
關於區別(3):
專利案Zaman並未公開”功能鍵被按壓以輸出一第一放大指令或一第二放大指令”之技術特徵,僅公開三種模式(全螢幕模式220、透鏡模式230及精簡模式240)。此外,請參考專利案Zaman的圖3及圖6,專利案Zaman公開”當使用者移動游標進入到放大視窗的邊緣之位移區域時,系統移動放大視窗”。當游標不在位移區域時,使用者可與被放大的物體互動,視窗不會到處移動。換句話說,專利案Zaman僅供公開如平移放大圖、上、下、左、右之移位(例如專利案Zaman之圖5和圖6)。再者,根據圖4之元件420,Receive input,也就是專利案Zaman公開具有功能鍵輸入,但是專利案Zaman並未公開”功能鍵被按壓以輸出一第一放大指令或一第二放大指令”之技術特徵。
