Embodiment 08 · Image Reading
Your napkin sketch, read like a draftsperson.
Upload sketches, photos, or diagrams — or let batch mode pull images straight out of disclosure documents. A vision model reads each image in the context of your invention and returns what drafting actually needs: a figure description, a title, and consistency with your reference numerals.

The method
- 01
Drop in any image
PNG, JPEG, WebP, or SVG — uploaded in the Figure Planner or embedded in batch documents. Each image is queued for analysis the moment it lands.
- 02
Preprocessed properly
Images are validated and normalized — downscaled to sane dimensions, SVGs rasterized — before any model sees them.
- 03
Read in context
The vision model receives your invention summary, existing diagrams, and declared components — so its description aligns with the reference numerals your draft already uses.
- 04
Returned as a figure
A detailed description and a suggested title populate the figure record — feeding the Brief Description of the Drawings and the Detailed Description automatically.
- 05
Ready before drafting
In the automated pipeline, image analysis completes before section drafting begins — figure text is never an afterthought.
“The round thing on the left” comes back as “sensor head (12)” — because the model read your components first.
Wherein
Context-aware vision
Because the model knows your components and numerals, “the round thing on the left” comes back as “sensor head (12)” — consistent with the rest of the draft.
Sketches and AI figures coexist
Uploaded images and AI-generated diagrams live in one figure sequence, numbered and ordered together.
A real queue behind it
Vision jobs run with heartbeats, retries, and self-healing — a hundred embedded images in a batch won’t fall over.
Transparent provenance
Each analyzed figure records the model used, its status, and any warnings — you can always see how a description came to be.
