Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional online apparel shopping is used, then convenience of online purchasing is improved, but ability to determine fit accurately deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a three-dimensional digital copy of the user's body using captured images and measurements. This virtual model serves as an accurate replica that can be used to simulate how apparel items will fit, eliminating the need for physical try-ons while maintaining precise fit determination capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional product images and size charts to three-dimensional virtual modeling. By creating and manipulating 3D representations of both the user's body and the apparel items, the system provides accurate fit visualization from multiple angles and perspectives, resolving the contradiction between online convenience and fit determination accuracy.
2Productivity
If traditional online apparel shopping is used, then purchasing efficiency is improved, but social interaction is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a virtual fitting room environment as an intermediary space where users can socially interact while shopping. This virtual environment allows multiple users to simultaneously view, discuss, and provide feedback on apparel items together, maintaining social interaction benefits while preserving online purchasing efficiency through automated fit assessment.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple devices and platforms are used, then accessibility is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal virtual fitting room system that functions consistently across multiple devices and platforms. By using standardized web technologies and cloud-based rendering, the system provides the same 3D modeling and apparel visualization capabilities whether accessed through smartphones, tablets, laptops, or desktop computers, managing complexity through platform-agnostic architecture.
