Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical deformation control systems with a neural network-based generative model. Instead of using explicit deformation handles or manual control mechanisms, the system employs a generative neural network trained with adversarial training to automatically learn and generate realistic 3D deformations from input objects, substituting mechanical control with intelligent generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The generative neural network is trained to autonomously generate deformation bases without requiring external supervision or manual intervention. The adversarial training process enables the model to self-optimize its deformation generation capabilities, creating realistic deformations through self-driven learning from training data rather than relying on pre-programmed deformation rules.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The adversarial training process incorporates feedback mechanisms where a discriminator network evaluates the realism of generated deformations and provides feedback to the generator network. This feedback loop enables iterative improvement of deformation quality, with the generator adjusting its outputs based on the discriminator's assessments to progressively enhance realism.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary training on a large dataset of 3D objects and their corresponding deformations before actual application. This pre-training phase establishes the foundational deformation patterns and realism criteria in the neural network, enabling high-quality deformation generation during subsequent use without requiring complex real-time training.

Solution Approach 1:

The generative neural network learns by copying and generalizing deformation patterns from the training data. It analyzes the statistical properties and geometric transformations present in the training set, then reproduces these patterns in a controlled manner. This copying approach enables the model to generate diverse and creative deformations while maintaining precision through learned transformation rules.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The system controls deformation precision by adjusting parameters such as the number of deformation basis vectors, the coefficients applied to these bases, and the training hyperparameters. By varying these parameters, the model can generate both diverse creative deformations and precise controlled transformations, balancing versatility with accuracy through parameter optimization.
