Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If design drawings, inspection results, and three-dimensional models are compared manually to assess quality, then quality assessment can be performed, but the process becomes cumbersome and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality assessment accuracyVSAvoidquality assessment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges design drawings, inspection results, and three-dimensional models into a single integrated three-dimensional display interface. Multiple data sources are combined and overlaid on the 3D model, allowing simultaneous visualization of design specifications, actual measurements, and deviation analysis in one unified view, thereby eliminating the need to switch between multiple separate documents and tools.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a three-dimensional model as an intermediary representation that mediates between design drawings and inspection results. The 3D model serves as a common platform where design data and measurement data can be correlated and compared through spatial positioning, acting as a bridge that simplifies the comparison process while maintaining assessment accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If quality checks are performed for shaped articles manufactured under different conditions, then quality changes can be detected, but the process becomes cumbersome and variations are difficult to grasp

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality change detection capabilityVSAvoidquality assessment ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adds a temporal or conditional dimension to the three-dimensional display by enabling switching between different manufacturing conditions. The system maintains multiple sets of inspection results corresponding to different conditions and allows users to toggle between them, effectively adding a fourth dimension (condition variation) to the 3D visualization without complicating the interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The three-dimensional display interface serves multiple functions: it displays design drawings, shows inspection results, visualizes deviations, and enables comparison across different manufacturing conditions. This multi-functional platform eliminates the need for separate analysis tools for each function, making the quality assessment process more efficient and easier to operate.

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

AI summary

An information processing system includes a processor configured to perform a process including: obtaining a first measurement of a shaped article manufactured under a first condition for a three-dimensional model serving as a basis and a second measurement of the shaped article manufactured under a second condition for the three-dimensional model; and displaying an object representing a comparison result of comparing the first measurement and the second measurement at a corresponding position on the three-dimensional model of the shaped article.
