Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If three-dimensional data is compressed and encoded for transmission, then the amount of data to be transmitted is reduced, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveamount of dataVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides three-dimensional data into multiple independent random access units, each representing a specific spatial region. This segmentation allows selective encoding and transmission of only necessary data portions, reducing overall data transmission requirements while maintaining simpler device architecture through modular processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If random access functionality is implemented for encoded three-dimensional data, then data accessibility is improved, but the encoding complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accessibilityVSAvoidencoding complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements random access functionality by segmenting three-dimensional data into distinct random access units with defined spatial boundaries. Each unit can be independently decoded without requiring the entire data set, enabling efficient random access while the modular encoding structure keeps complexity manageable through standardized unit formats

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary organization of three-dimensional data into standardized random access units during the encoding phase. This preliminary structuring with clear spatial delimiters and metadata enables rapid random access during decoding without requiring complex real-time processing, thus improving accessibility while controlling encoding complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A three-dimensional data creation method in a client device (902) equipped in a mobile object includes: creating three-dimensional data (1134) of a surrounding area of the mobile object using sensor information (1037) that is obtained through a sensor (1015) equipped in the mobile object and indicates a surrounding condition of the mobile object (S1004); estimating a self-location of the mobile object using the three-dimensional data (1134) created; and transmitting the sensor information (1037) obtained to a server (901) or an other mobile object (S1012).
