# Zhihuiya Utility Patent Image Search
This skill guides you on how to perform image-based patent similarity searches using the Zhihuiya patent database, helping users identify potentially similar **utility model patents**. This skill supports utility model patents only; for design patents use `linkfox-zhihuiya-patent-image-search`.
## Core Concepts
**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.
**This skill supports utility model patents only:**
| Type | Code | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| Utility Model Patent | `U` | Protects the functional shape/structure of a product |
**Search models** for utility model patents:
| Model ID | Strategy | Recommendation |
|----------|----------|----------------|
| 3 | Match Shape | Shape-only comparison |
| 4 | Match Shape/Pattern/Color | Recommended for utility model patents (default) |
> Design patents (model 1/2) are not supported by this skill. Use `linkfox-zhihuiya-patent-image-search` instead.
**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.

## 调用方式
- **API 端点**:`POST /zhihuiya/patentImageSearch`(完整参数/响应/错误码见 `references/api.md`)
- **Python 脚本**:`python scripts/zhihuiya_patent_image_search.py '<JSON 参数>' [--inline]`
- **成本约束**:本工具会消耗积分;同一会话同一参数组合默认只调用一次,脚本带 24h 本地缓存。失败/空结果不得自动换关键词、翻页或改邮编连续试探;需要继续检索时先向用户说明会产生额外消耗。
**输出策略(脚本默认行为)**:
- **始终**将完整响应写入 `<cwd>/linkfox/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<session>/data/linkfox-zhihuiya-utility-patent-image-search-<timestamp>.json`(`<cwd>` 为脚本执行时的工作目录,在 Claude Code 里即当前项目目录;`<session>` 取自环境变量 `SESSION_ID`,按用户任务自动聚合;**禁止写入 /tmp**,当前目录不可写则报错)
- 响应体 ≤ 8 KB:落盘后把完整 JSON 打印到 stdout
- 响应体 > 8 KB:落盘后 stdout 只输出摘要(顶层字段、常见计数如 `total`/`costToken`、最大列表字段的长度 + 前 3 条样本)
- 加 `--inline` 强制全量打印到 stdout(同样落盘)
**读数据建议**:先看摘要判断是否足够;需要具体字段时优先用 `jq`或`ConvertFrom-Json` 从保存的 json 文件按需抽取,避免整份 JSON 进入上下文。
## 解决认证和积分问题
发生以下异常情况时,采用以下措施来处理:
### 异常情况
- **未配置API Key**:环境变量未配置 `LINKFOX_AGENT_API_KEY`,也未配置 `LINKFOXAGENT_API_KEY`。
- **响应401或402状态码**
- **响应提示积分或余额不足**:消息含"积分余额不足/计费不足/余额不足/quota exceeded/insufficient balance/套餐到期/需充值/请充值",或类似含义的内容。
### 措施
- 优先采用skill内的 onboarding.md 引导解决问题。
- 如找不到 onboarding.md 文件,则加载 /linkfox-onboarding 这个skill并根据它的引导来处理。如未安装请先安装:
- 下载 https://agent-files.linkfox.com/skills/linkfox-onboarding/release.zip,解压后安装这个skill。如需用户授权才可下载,要询问用户获得授权,你不能自己放弃下载。
- 兜底措施:仅当前面两个措施经过所有努力都走不通时,才提示用户依据 https://skill.linkfox.com/linkfoxskills/guide.htm 指引获取API Key,或去 https://os.linkfox.com/ 补充积分。
## Local Image Upload
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.
## Usage Examples
**1. Basic utility model patent search (recommended starting point)**
Search for utility model patents similar to a product image, matching shape/pattern/color across all countries:
```json
{
"url": "https://example.com/my-product.jpg",
"patentType": "U",
"model": 4,
"limit": 20
}
```
**2. Utility model patent search limited to specific countries**
Search only in China and the United States:
```json
{
"url": "https://example.com/my-product.jpg",
"patentType": "U",
"model": 4,
"country": "CN,US",
"limit": 20
}
```
**3. Shape-only utility model patent search**
Compare by shape only (ignore pattern/color):
```json
{
"url": "https://example.com/my-product.jpg",
"patentType": "U",
"model": 3,
"country": "CN",
"limit": 20
}
```
**4. Search only active patents within a date range**
Find active utility model patents filed after 2020:
```json
{
"url": "https://example.com/my-product.jpg",
"patentType": "U",
"model": 4,
"simpleLegalStatus": "1",
"applyStartTime": "20200101",
"limit": 30
}
```
**5. Search by specific assignee**
Find patents held by a particular company:
```json
{
"url": "https://example.com/my-product.jpg",
"patentType": "U",
"model": 4,
"assignees": "Apple Inc.",
"limit": 20
}
```
**6. Get results with Chinese-translated titles**
```json
{
"url": "https://example.com/my-product.jpg",
"patentType": "U",
"model": 4,
"lang": "cn",
"limit": 20
}
```
## Display Rules
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
- IPC/UPC classification information
- 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).
## User Expression & Scenario Quick Reference
**Applicable** -- Image-based utility model patent similarity searches:
