Figure Description for Patents

专利附图说明（Figure Description）

Process patent figures and generate drawing descriptions based on: $ARGUMENTS

Unlike

/paper-figure

which generates data plots, this skill processes user-provided technical diagrams and assigns reference numerals.

处理专利附图并基于**$ARGUMENTS**生成附图说明。

与生成数据图表的

/paper-figure

不同，本工具用于处理用户提供的技术图表并分配参考编号（Reference Numerals）。

Constants

常量

```
FIGURE_DIR = "patent/figures/"
```
— Output directory for figure descriptions
```
REFERENCE_NUMERAL_PREFIX = 100
```
— Starting numeral for first figure's components
```
NUMERAL_SERIES = 100
```
— Each figure uses a separate 100-series (Fig 1: 100-199, Fig 2: 200-299, etc.)

```
FIGURE_DIR = "patent/figures/"
```
— 附图说明的输出目录
```
REFERENCE_NUMERAL_PREFIX = 100
```
— 第一幅图组件的起始编号
```
NUMERAL_SERIES = 100
```
— 每幅图使用独立的百位数编号系列（图1：100-199，图2：200-299，以此类推）

Inputs

输入

User-provided figures (PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF) — search for them in the project directory
```
patent/INVENTION_DISCLOSURE.md
```
— for understanding what components to identify
```
patent/CLAIMS.md
```
— for mapping numerals to claim elements

用户提供的附图（PNG、JPG、SVG、PDF格式）—— 在项目目录中搜索这些文件
```
patent/INVENTION_DISCLOSURE.md
```
— 用于明确需要识别的组件
```
patent/CLAIMS.md
```
— 用于将编号映射到权利要求要素

Workflow

工作流程

Step 1: Discover Figures

步骤1：发现附图

Search the project directory for figure files:
- Check
```
patent/figures/
```
  ,
```
figures/
```
  , root directory
- Look for PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF files
- Check INVENTION_BRIEF.md or INVENTION_DISCLOSURE.md for figure references
List all discovered figures with their paths
If figures are missing that claims require, note them as
```
[MISSING: description needed]
```

在项目目录中搜索附图文件：
- 检查
```
patent/figures/
```
  、
```
figures/
```
  以及根目录
- 查找PNG、JPG、SVG、PDF格式的文件
- 查看INVENTION_BRIEF.md或INVENTION_DISCLOSURE.md中的附图引用
列出所有发现的附图及其路径
如果权利要求所需的附图缺失，标注为
```
[MISSING: description needed]
```

Step 2: Analyze Each Figure

步骤2：分析每幅附图

For each figure found:

Read the image using the Read tool (supports image files)
Identify components: What labeled or visually distinct components are shown?
Identify connections: How do components relate to each other?
Identify flow: If it's a flowchart or sequence, what is the step order?

对于每幅找到的附图：

读取图像：使用Read工具读取（支持图像文件）
识别组件：图中显示了哪些带标注或视觉上可区分的组件？
识别连接关系：组件之间如何关联？
识别流程：如果是流程图或序列图，步骤顺序是什么？

Step 3: Assign Reference Numerals

步骤3：分配参考编号（Reference Numerals）

For each figure, assign numerals using the series convention:

Figure	Numeral Range
FIG. 1	100-199
FIG. 2	200-299
FIG. 3	300-399

For each identified component:

Assign the next available numeral in the series
Cross-reference to the claim elements it supports
Note if a component appears in multiple figures (use same numeral across figures)

按照编号系列规则为每幅附图分配编号：

附图	编号范围
图1	100-199
图2	200-299
图3	300-399

对于每个识别出的组件：

分配该系列中下一个可用的编号
关联其对应的权利要求要素
标注组件是否出现在多幅附图中（多幅附图中使用相同编号）

Step 4: Generate Drawing Descriptions

步骤4：生成附图说明

Write formal drawing descriptions (附图说明):

For CN jurisdiction (Chinese):

图1是[发明名称]的系统结构示意图；
图2是[发明名称]的方法流程图；
图3是[具体组件]的详细结构示意图；

For US/EP jurisdiction (English):

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the system architecture according to one embodiment;
FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the method steps according to one embodiment;
FIG. 3 is a detailed view of the processing module of FIG. 1;

撰写正式的附图说明：

针对中国（CN）地区：

图1是[发明名称]的系统结构示意图；
图2是[发明名称]的方法流程图；
图3是[具体组件]的详细结构示意图；

针对美国/欧洲（US/EP）地区：

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the system architecture according to one embodiment;
FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the method steps according to one embodiment;
FIG. 3 is a detailed view of the processing module of FIG. 1;

Step 5: Generate Reference Numeral Index

步骤5：生成参考编号索引（Reference Numeral Index）

Reference Numeral Index

Numeral	Component Name	Figure(s)	Claim Element
100	System	FIG. 1	Claim X preamble
102	Processor	FIG. 1	Claim X, element 1
104	Memory	FIG. 1	Claim X, element 2
106	Communication bus	FIG. 1	Claim X, element 3
200	Method	FIG. 2	Claim 1 preamble
202	Receiving step	FIG. 2	Claim 1, step 1
204	Processing step	FIG. 2	Claim 1, step 2

undefined

Numeral	Component Name	Figure(s)	Claim Element
100	System	FIG. 1	Claim X preamble
102	Processor	FIG. 1	Claim X, element 1
104	Memory	FIG. 1	Claim X, element 2
106	Communication bus	FIG. 1	Claim X, element 3
200	Method	FIG. 2	Claim 1 preamble
202	Receiving step	FIG. 2	Claim 1, step 1
204	Processing step	FIG. 2	Claim 1, step 2

undefined

Step 6: Cross-Reference to Claims

步骤6：与权利要求交叉引用

Verify that every claim element has at least one reference numeral:

Claim Element	Figure	Numeral	Status
[element]	[which fig]	[numeral]	Covered / [MISSING]

If any claim element has no corresponding figure or numeral, flag it:

[MISSING FIGURE: Need a diagram showing {element description}]

[MISSING NUMERAL: Component {name} in figure {X} needs a numeral]

验证每个权利要求要素至少对应一个参考编号：

权利要求要素	附图	编号	状态
[element]	[which fig]	[numeral]	已覆盖 / [缺失]

如果任何权利要求要素没有对应的附图或编号，标记出来：

[MISSING FIGURE: Need a diagram showing {element description}]

[MISSING NUMERAL: Component {name} in figure {X} needs a numeral]

Key Rules

核心规则

Every component in every figure must have a reference numeral.
Every reference numeral must be explained in the specification.
Numeral series must be consistent: 100-series for FIG. 1, 200-series for FIG. 2.
If the same component appears in multiple figures, use the SAME numeral.
Do NOT modify user-provided figures -- only describe them.
Flag missing figures that the claims require but the user has not provided.
Drawing descriptions are one sentence each, in a consistent format.

每幅附图中的每个组件都必须有一个参考编号。
每个参考编号都必须在说明书中进行解释。
编号系列必须保持一致：图1使用100系列，图2使用200系列。
如果同一组件出现在多幅附图中，使用相同的编号。
不得修改用户提供的附图——仅对其进行描述。
标记权利要求所需但用户未提供的缺失附图。
附图说明为单句格式，保持一致。
