Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems for generating three-dimensional space images fail to accurately reflect the memories and experiences of individuals, lacking the ability to personalize and enhance the realism of virtual reality environments based on user-specific imagery.

Innovation Solution

An image processing apparatus and method that acquires user images, extracts important subjects and scenes, and updates three-dimensional space images to reflect user-specific memories by adjusting positions, importance degrees, and image qualities, incorporating user images into a three-dimensional space image database for personalized virtual reality experiences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If three-dimensional space images are generated using general imaging data, then the coverage of spatial information is broad, but the personal relevance and accuracy of individual memories are not reflected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of personal memory reflectionVSAvoidpersonalization capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the three-dimensional space image into multiple regions, each corresponding to different memory scenes. By dividing the spatial representation into discrete segments that can be individually updated with user-specific images, the system achieves both broad spatial coverage and personalized accuracy for each segment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically updates the three-dimensional space image by selectively replacing or adding images in specific regions based on user memories. This dynamic adaptation allows the virtual space to evolve and personalize itself while maintaining the overall structural integrity and broad coverage of the original space model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If user-specific images are integrated into three-dimensional space images, then personal relevance is enhanced, but the complexity of image processing and integration increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidimage processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary processing of user images by extracting key features and determining importance degrees before integration. This preliminary action simplifies the subsequent integration process by pre-organizing and pre-evaluating the images, reducing the computational complexity during the actual merging phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary processing layer that manages the integration between user-specific images and the three-dimensional space image. This intermediary layer handles the complex tasks of image matching, region identification, and seamless blending, isolating the complexity from the main system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If all user images are used to update three-dimensional space images, then completeness of personal memory representation is improved, but the amount of data to be processed increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of memory representationVSAvoiddata volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by determining different importance degrees for different user images based on their relevance to specific memory scenes. Instead of treating all images equally, the system selectively processes and integrates only those images with high importance degrees, maintaining complete personal memory representation while reducing the volume of data that requires full processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
