Solution Overview

Problem

Current online shopping platforms lack effective data exchange and provide a limited shopping experience due to their planar representations, making it difficult for users to understand products and increasing the risk of buying defective items.

Innovation Solution

A 3D shopping platform display system that includes a 3D model, display module, storage module, and interface units for data exchange between the platform and external systems, allowing for intuitive product presentation, user data sharing, and recommended information integration, enhancing user interaction and shopping experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If planar webpage representations are used in online shopping platforms, then the platform structure is simple and easy to implement, but users cannot understand products comprehensively and the shopping experience is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshopping experienceVSAvoidplatform structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from traditional planar webpage representations to three-dimensional virtual shopping environments. Users can navigate 3D models of stores and products, rotating and zooming to view items from multiple angles, thereby comprehending product appearance and pattern holistically while enhancing shopping experience.

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

2Loss of information

If 3D models are introduced to provide comprehensive product understanding, then user comprehension improves, but data exchange capability with external platforms is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct information completenessVSAvoiddata exchange capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal data exchange interface that enables the 3D shopping platform to communicate with external platforms. The system can share user data, receive recommended information, and exchange other data types through standardized interfaces, maintaining both 3D visualization capabilities and data exchange versatility.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If the platform functions are expanded to include data exchange and external platform integration, then user satisfaction improves, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform functionalityVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the platform into modular functional components: a 3D rendering module for visualizing products and stores, a data exchange module for communicating with external platforms, and a user interaction module for handling user data and recommendations. This segmentation allows each module to be developed and maintained independently, managing system complexity while expanding functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
