Solution Overview

Problem

Current navigation technologies for three-dimensional scenes are limited by fixed camera speeds, require user calibration, are not fully automatic, and lack smooth visual perception, making them inefficient and scene-specific.

Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If fixed camera speed and viewpoint are used for navigation, then the navigation system is simple to implement, but the visual perception is not continuous or smooth enough and cannot adapt to different scene features

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenavigation implementation simplicityVSAvoidadaptation to scene features
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic camera control by calculating camera speed based on the interest values of consecutive viewpoints. The camera accelerates when interest values are low and decelerates when interest values are high, creating a dynamic navigation system that adapts to scene features automatically. This resolves the contradiction by replacing fixed parameters with dynamically adjusted ones.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of camera speed from a fixed value to a variable determined by the difference in interest values between consecutive viewpoints. By using the formula v = k * (I_next - I_current), the system automatically adjusts speed parameters based on scene importance, achieving adaptability while maintaining implementation simplicity through a clear parameter relationship.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Extent of automation

If automatic navigation is implemented without considering user attention, then the navigation process is fully automatic, but the user's attention and interest are not maintained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenavigation automation levelVSAvoiduser attention and interest
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces feedback mechanisms by calculating interest values based on building characteristics (height, volume, irregularity, uniqueness) and using these values to control camera behavior. The system continuously monitors scene features and adjusts navigation accordingly, maintaining user attention through automatic interest-based control while preserving full automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The navigation system serves itself by automatically calculating interest values and determining camera speed without user intervention. The system uses predefined criteria for evaluating building interest and autonomously adjusts navigation parameters, achieving both full automation and user attention maintenance through self-directed interest-based control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Device complexity

If camera trajectory is generated without considering camera moving speed, then the path planning is simpler, but the navigation lacks smooth visual perception and user attention control

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrajectory generation complexityVSAvoidnavigation quality and smoothness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary calculation of interest values for all viewpoints along the trajectory before executing navigation. By pre-calculating the interest value sequence and determining the corresponding speed profile in advance, the system ensures smooth visual perception without adding complex real-time computation, maintaining simplicity while improving navigation quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
