Eureka Patent Image Search (Single Image)

Eureka专利图像检索(单图检索)

This skill guides you on how to perform patent image search (search-by-image) via the Eureka patent platform. Given a single image URL, it finds visually similar patents in the design or utility patent databases, supporting multiple search models and extensive filtering options.
本技能将指导您如何通过Eureka专利平台进行专利图像检索(以图搜图)。只需提供一张图片的URL,即可在外观设计或实用新型专利数据库中查找视觉相似的专利,支持多种检索模型及丰富的筛选选项。

Core Concepts

核心概念

The Eureka Patent Image Search tool enables visual similarity search across patent databases:
  1. Search Models — Four models are available depending on the patent type and search intent:
    • Model 1: Design smart association — finds design patents with intelligent visual association
    • Model 2: Design search this image — exact visual match for design patents
    • Model 3: Utility match shape — matches utility patents by shape/contour
    • Model 4: Utility match shape + pattern + color — matches utility patents by shape, pattern, and color combined
  2. Patent Types — Two patent types are supported:
    • D
      (Design) — search within design/industrial design patents (use models 1 or 2)
    • U
      (Utility) — search within utility model patents (use models 3 or 4)
  3. Filtering — Extensive optional filters for country/authority, Locarno classification, date ranges, legal status, assignees, and keyword fields.
  4. Scoring — Results include a similarity
    score
    and can be sorted by score, application date, publication date, or issue date.
Eureka专利图像检索工具可在专利数据库中进行视觉相似性检索:
  1. 检索模型 — 根据专利类型和检索需求提供四种模型:
    • 模型1:外观设计智能关联 — 查找具有智能视觉关联的外观设计专利
    • 模型2:外观设计以图搜图 — 对外观设计专利进行精准视觉匹配
    • 模型3:实用新型形状匹配 — 通过形状/轮廓匹配实用新型专利
    • 模型4:实用新型形状+图案+颜色匹配 — 结合形状、图案和颜色匹配实用新型专利
  2. 专利类型 — 支持两种专利类型:
    • D
      (Design) — 在外观设计/工业设计专利中检索(使用模型1或2)
    • U
      (Utility) — 在实用新型专利中检索(使用模型3或4)
  3. 筛选功能 — 提供丰富的可选筛选条件,包括国家/专利机构、Locarno classification、日期范围、法律状态、权利人及关键词字段等。
  4. 评分机制 — 检索结果包含相似性
    score
    ,可按评分、申请日、公开日或授权日排序。

Display Rules

展示规则

  1. Present results as a visual gallery when possible: Show the patent publication number, title, similarity score, and image URL for each result.
  2. Score interpretation: Higher scores indicate greater visual similarity. Present scores as percentages or relative rankings for user clarity.
  3. Key metadata: Always include patent number, title, authority, application date, and assignee for each result.
  4. Total count: Mention
    allRecordsCount
    to indicate how many total matches were found, and how many are displayed.
  5. Model explanation: When presenting results, briefly note which search model was used so the user understands the matching approach.
  6. Error handling: If the query fails, check common issues: invalid image URL, unsupported image format, invalid model/patentType combination.
  7. Pagination guidance: If there are more results than displayed, inform the user they can request more.
  1. 尽可能以视觉画廊形式展示结果:显示每条结果的专利公开号、标题、相似性评分及图片URL。
  2. 评分解读:评分越高表示视觉相似度越高,为便于用户理解,可将评分显示为百分比或相对排名。
  3. 关键元数据:每条结果需包含专利号、标题、专利机构、申请日及权利人信息。
  4. 结果总数:需提及
    allRecordsCount
    以说明匹配结果的总数及当前展示数量。
  5. 模型说明:展示结果时,简要说明使用的检索模型,让用户了解匹配逻辑。
  6. 错误处理:若查询失败,检查常见问题:无效图片URL、不支持的图片格式、模型与专利类型组合错误。
  7. 分页指引:若存在更多未展示的结果,告知用户可请求获取更多内容。

Important Limitations

重要限制

  • Single image only: This endpoint accepts one image URL per request.
  • Image URL must be publicly accessible: Private or authentication-required image URLs will fail.
  • Model & patent type pairing: Models 1–2 are for design patents (D), models 3–4 are for utility patents (U). Mismatched combinations may produce poor results.
  • Offset limit: Maximum offset is 1000, meaning at most 1000 + limit results can be accessed via pagination.
  • Locarno classification: The
    loc
    parameter uses Locarno codes; users may need help identifying the correct code for their product category.
  • 仅支持单图检索:该接口每次请求仅接受一个图片URL。
  • 图片URL必须可公开访问:私有或需认证的图片URL会导致检索失败。
  • 模型与专利类型需匹配:模型1-2适用于外观设计专利(D),模型3-4适用于实用新型专利(U),不匹配的组合可能导致结果质量不佳。
  • 偏移量限制:最大偏移量为1000,意味着通过分页最多可访问1000+limit条结果。
  • Locarno classification
    loc
    参数使用Locarno代码,用户可能需要帮助确定其产品类别对应的正确代码。
