The "Investigate" App is a learning tool that covers everything from cognition and recording to discussion and sharing. Based on a graduation thesis titled "The Application of Flower Recognition Software in Botany Teaching" completed in 2018, the author aimed to create an ideal professional learning tool and succeeded in designing it. The thesis also discussed current mainstream AI product design concepts such as expanding training materials, annotating images with hidden layer tags, and artificially intervening in the recognition process to optimize results. It also marked the beginning of research on interface design during the 22 years of studying for a Master's degree in daily reading in the following years.

Awareness of the Problem
The most important part of plant teaching is the field investigation and recording of related courses, which we call the "Plant Recognition Internship" course. In this process, due to issues such as the number of people, recording methods, and communication efficiency, traditional courses inevitably have omissions and errors, and learning outcomes are difficult to verify. Using digital tools to solve the above problems is the focus of this design.
Usually, we need to collect plant specimens while recording scattered plant information. After the recording is completed, it is difficult to remember the location of the plants and the environment at that time.
Functional Architecture
Discovery: This is where more articles related to plants are shared and viewed by professionals or ordinary users.
Recognition: Based on image recognition technology, it quickly manages newly acquired knowledge through annotations and submits results to machine learning. Knowing through observation and experience.
Community: A professional community created for professionals to facilitate communication between teachers and students, professionals and learners.
Map: Use the map to record your learning journey and connect to every cognitive process across time and space.
Design Features
Home Page Design Details: On the homepage, you can quickly scroll down to enter the photo recognition page, instead of an endless stream of information refresh.
Professional Mode: A professional recognition tool designed for paid subscribers. By submitting high-quality recognition results for training, you can also receive benefits.
