Abstract: Trademark is the mark that distinguishes enterprise brand or service, and plays an important role in spreading enterprise culture. Trademark recognition application on intelligent terminal is a computationally intensive application. The application performance is limited by the resource bottlenecks of intelligent terminal. Address to the problem, this paper presents a computation offloading method for trademark recognition application on intelligent terminal. In this method, the entire application is firstly divided into many task nodes by categorizing their usage. Then the energy consumption and execution time of each single task node are monitored and calculated, and an application cost graph can be built up. Finally, the objective functions based on minimum energy consumption, minimum executed time, and the balance between energy consumption and executed time can be derived. In the paper, offloading experiments based on these objective functions are carried out, and the experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the performance of trademark recognition application on intelligent terminal, reduce the energy consumption, and enhance user experience.
