Solution Overview
Problem
Generating three-dimensional objects for computer-generated reality (CGR) environments is a time-consuming process, often requiring cumbersome and counter-intuitive computer-aided design (CAD) software that demands experience and specialized training.
Innovation Solution
A graphical user interface (GUI) is presented that allows users to efficiently generate three-dimensional objects based on two-dimensional profiles and floor plans, enabling users to input profiles and floor plans through intuitive user interactions, such as gestures and drag-and-drop operations, to create and modify three-dimensional objects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If traditional CAD software is used to generate three-dimensional objects, then manufacturing precision and object quality are improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate due to cumbersome interfaces requiring specialized training
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses two-dimensional profiles and floor plans as simplified copies or representations of three-dimensional objects. Users interact with these 2D representations through intuitive gestures rather than complex 3D modeling tools, maintaining precision while dramatically simplifying the interface and ease of operation.
2Manufacturing precision
If traditional CAD software is used to generate three-dimensional objects, then manufacturing precision is improved, but loss of time increases due to the time-consuming nature of the process
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating three-dimensional objects from two-dimensional profiles and floor plans without requiring users to manually model each component. This automation significantly reduces the time required while maintaining manufacturing precision through algorithmic generation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical modeling operations with automated computational processes. Users provide simple 2D inputs and the system automatically computes and generates the 3D object, substituting time-consuming manual operations with efficient algorithmic processing.
3Ease of manufacture
If traditional CAD software is used, then device complexity increases due to specialized features, but ease of manufacture improves through comprehensive toolsets
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential elements needed for three-dimensional object generation—two-dimensional profiles and floor plans—removing unnecessary complex features from traditional CAD software. This extraction maintains the core manufacturing capability while significantly reducing system complexity and improving ease of manufacture.

AI summary
In one implementation, a method of generating a three-dimensional object is performed by a device including one or more processors, non-transitory memory, one or more input devices, and a display. The method includes detecting a first set of one or more user inputs indicative of a two-dimensional profile and detecting a second set of one or more user inputs indicative of a two-dimensional floor plan. The method includes generating, based on the two-dimensional profile and the two-dimensional floor plan, a three-dimensional object and displaying the three-dimensional object.
