Zhihuiya Patent Image Search

智慧芽专利图片搜索

This skill guides you on how to perform image-based patent similarity searches using the Zhihuiya patent database, helping users identify potentially similar design patents and utility model patents.
本技能将指导您如何使用智慧芽专利数据库进行基于图片的专利相似度搜索,帮助用户识别潜在相似的外观设计专利和实用新型专利。

Core Concepts

核心概念

Patent Image Search uses visual AI models to compare a given product or design image against a global patent image database. It returns a ranked list of similar patents, enabling users to evaluate infringement risks or conduct prior-art research.
Two patent types are supported:
TypeCodeDescription
Design Patent
D
Protects the ornamental appearance of a product (default)
Utility Model Patent
U
Protects the functional shape/structure of a product
Search models vary by patent type:
Model IDPatent TypeStrategyRecommendation
1Design (
D
)
Intelligent AssociationRecommended for design patents
2Design (
D
)
Search This ImageExact visual match
3Utility Model (
U
)
Match ShapeShape-only comparison
4Utility Model (
U
)
Match Shape/Pattern/ColorRecommended for utility model patents
Scoring logic: A higher
score
value means greater visual similarity. When presenting results, sort by score in descending order (highest similarity first) so users can prioritize the most relevant patents for review.
专利图片搜索借助视觉AI模型,将给定的产品或设计图片与全球专利图片数据库进行比对,返回按相似度排序的专利列表,助力用户评估侵权风险或开展现有技术研究。
支持两种专利类型:
类型代码描述
外观设计专利
D
保护产品的装饰性外观(默认类型)
实用新型专利
U
保护产品的功能性形状/结构
搜索模型因专利类型而异:
模型ID专利类型策略推荐场景
1外观设计(
D
智能关联推荐用于外观设计专利搜索
2外观设计(
D
原图搜索精确视觉匹配
3实用新型(
U
形状匹配仅比对形状
4实用新型(
U
形状/图案/颜色匹配推荐用于实用新型专利搜索
评分逻辑
score
值越高表示视觉相似度越高。展示结果时,需按score降序排列(相似度从高到低),方便用户优先查看最相关的专利。

API Usage

API使用说明

This tool calls the LinkFox tool gateway API. See
references/api.md
for calling conventions, request parameters, and response structure. You can also execute
scripts/zhihuiya_patent_image_search.py
directly to run queries.
本工具调用LinkFox工具网关API。调用规范、请求参数和响应结构详见
references/api.md
。您也可以直接执行
scripts/zhihuiya_patent_image_search.py
来运行查询。

Local Image Upload

本地图片上传

This tool requires a publicly accessible image URL. If the user provides a local image file path (e.g.,
C:\Users\...\photo.png
,
/home/.../image.jpg
), you must upload it first to obtain a public URL.
Run the upload script:
bash
python scripts/upload_image.py /path/to/local/image.png
The script will return a public URL (valid for 24 hours) that can be used as the image URL parameter.
本工具要求图片URL必须可公开访问。若用户提供本地图片文件路径(例如:
C:\Users\...\photo.png
/home/.../image.jpg
),您必须先上传图片以获取公开URL。
运行上传脚本:
bash
python scripts/upload_image.py /path/to/local/image.png
脚本将返回一个有效期为24小时的公开URL,可作为图片URL参数使用。

Display Rules

展示规则

  1. Sort by score: Always sort results by
    score
    in descending order (highest similarity first) to help users quickly identify the most relevant infringement risks.
  2. Show complete details: When summarizing results or generating reports, include ALL of the following for each patent -- do NOT omit or abbreviate:
    • Application number (
      apno
      )
    • Patent title in Chinese (use
      lang: cn
      or provide translation)
    • Inventor (
      inventor
      )
    • Patent drawing (the matched
      url
      image)
    • Every patent image in the image list
    • Patent abstract
    • Patent description
    • LOC classification information (
      loc
      )
    • Radar result (
      radarResult
      ) if available
    • Patent specification
  3. Legal disclaimer: Always append a friendly reminder at the end of results:
    This search result was generated by LinkfoxAgent. It is recommended to consult a professional patent attorney for legal advice.
  4. Score explanation: Remind users that the score represents visual similarity -- a higher score indicates a closer match, but does not constitute a legal determination of infringement.
  5. Pagination guidance: When the total count exceeds the returned results, inform users about the total number of matching patents and guide them to use
    offset
    and
    limit
    for additional pages.
  6. Error handling: When a query fails, explain the reason and suggest adjustments (e.g., verify the image URL is publicly accessible, check country codes, adjust date formats).
  1. 按评分排序:始终按
    score
    降序排列结果(相似度从高到低),帮助用户快速识别最相关的侵权风险。
  2. 展示完整详情:汇总结果或生成报告时,需为每个专利包含以下所有信息——不得遗漏或缩写:
    • 申请号(
      apno
    • 中文专利标题(使用
      lang: cn
      参数获取或提供翻译)
    • 发明人(
      inventor
    • 匹配的专利图片(对应
      url
      中的图片)
    • 图片列表中的每一张专利图片
    • 专利摘要
    • 专利说明书
    • 洛迦诺分类信息(
      loc
    • 若有雷达检测结果(
      radarResult
      )也需包含
    • 专利说明书全文
  3. 法律声明:在结果末尾必须添加友好提示:
    本搜索结果由LinkfoxAgent生成,建议咨询专业专利律师获取法律意见。
  4. 评分说明:提醒用户,评分代表视觉相似度——分数越高表示匹配度越高,但不构成侵权的法律判定。
  5. 分页指引:当匹配专利总数超过返回结果数量时,告知用户匹配专利的总数,并指导其使用
    offset
    limit
    参数获取更多页结果。
  6. 错误处理:查询失败时,说明失败原因并建议调整方案(例如:验证图片URL是否可公开访问、检查国家代码是否正确、调整日期格式等)。
