Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for interior design fail to provide variable spatial division based on user-specific conditions, such as movement paths and illumination intensity, and lack integration with 3D printing for efficient fabrication.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilizes a 3D printer to fabricate interior design products, allowing users to select designs through a simulation on a server, generate 3D printing information, and deliver the products using a 3D product output center, incorporating real space information and partition wall details.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional e-model house methods are used to display interior design, then a uniform predetermined area division is provided, but variable spatial division according to user-specific conditions cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariable spatial divisionVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple functions into a single integrated system: the interior design server combines virtual space generation, simulation provision, and 3D printing information generation; the 3D product output center integrates 3D printing fabrication and delivery coordination. This consolidation enables variable spatial division while managing system complexity through functional integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The interior design server performs multiple functions: providing interior design product lists, generating virtual spaces from real space information, providing simulations for product placement, and generating 3D printing information. This multi-functionality allows the system to adapt to various user needs and conditions while using a single platform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If 3D printing is integrated into the interior design process, then fabrication time and cost are reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefabrication efficiencyVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by generating 3D printing information during the design phase itself, rather than requiring separate fabrication planning. The interior design server prepares all necessary 3D printing data (dimensions, materials, structures) while the user is still selecting and customizing their design, enabling immediate fabrication once the design is finalized.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The interior design server acts as an intermediary that translates user design selections and virtual space configurations into 3D printing information. It mediates between the creative design process and the manufacturing process, converting design parameters into fabrication instructions that the 3D product output center can execute.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If users can customize interior design products through simulation, then design adaptability improves, but information processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign customizationVSAvoiddata processing volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by generating 3D printing information specifically for the selected interior design products rather than processing entire space configurations. The interior design server focuses data generation on the specific products users want to customize, reducing unnecessary data processing while maintaining full customization capability for those products.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
