Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing construction and design rendering programs are complex, expensive, and primarily designed for professionals, making it difficult for consumers to visualize how different materials will look together in a space, particularly in residential remodeling or new-build construction.
Innovation Solution
A data serialization extrusion algorithm is employed to convert two-dimensional drawings into geometric vector diagrams, which are then used to generate interactive three-dimensional renderings, utilizing neural networks for image recognition and material identification, and allowing users to customize their space with desired materials and designs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If professional construction and design rendering programs are used, then rendering quality and functionality are improved, but device complexity and cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the core extrusion algorithm functionality from complex professional rendering programs, isolating it as a standalone processing module that converts 2D floorplans to 3D models without requiring the full suite of professional tools, thereby reducing complexity while maintaining essential rendering capability
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates simplified copies of professional rendering capabilities by implementing essential extrusion algorithms that replicate core 3D model generation functionality from 2D inputs, providing adequate rendering quality for consumer use without duplicating the entire professional software suite
2Reliability
If professional construction and design rendering programs are used, then rendering quality and functionality are improved, but cost increases to prohibitive levels
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a cost-effective rendering solution using readily available consumer devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops) with standard processing capabilities, replacing the need for expensive professional workstations and software licenses, making the technology accessible to average consumers
3Reliability
If professional construction and design rendering programs are used, then rendering functionality is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the complex rendering process into a simple user workflow: users only need to upload a 2D floorplan image, while the automated extrusion algorithm handles the complex 3D model generation, material application, and rendering processes separately in the background, making the interface simple for consumers
Solution Approach 2:
The extrusion algorithm performs self-service by automatically interpreting 2D floorplan dimensions, line weights, and geometric relationships to generate accurate 3D models without requiring user training or manual intervention, enabling consumers to use the system without professional knowledge
