Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional rendering technologies lack flexibility and fail to adapt to changing rendering environments, as they require users to choose between local and cloud rendering modes upfront, leading to inefficiencies and suboptimal user experiences due to hardware requirements and network limitations.

Innovation Solution

An image rendering method and apparatus that dynamically evaluates the performance of local and cloud rendering modes, allowing for dynamic switching between the two based on performance metrics, ensuring optimal rendering mode selection and adaptation to environmental changes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If local rendering mode is used, then rendering can be performed without network dependency, but high hardware performance requirements are imposed on the user's local device

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverendering execution reliabilityVSAvoidlocal hardware requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic switching between local and cloud rendering modes based on real-time performance evaluation. The system continuously monitors hardware performance metrics and network conditions, automatically selecting the optimal rendering mode without requiring user intervention or pre-configuration, thus resolving the contradiction between local execution reliability and hardware requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The rendering system is designed to support both local and cloud rendering modes within a single unified framework. The same rendering task can be executed through different modes depending on conditions, making the system universally applicable to various hardware configurations and network environments without requiring separate systems

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

2Device complexity

If cloud rendering mode is used, then low hardware requirements are needed, but good network state is required for execution

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocal hardware requirementsVSAvoidrendering execution reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically evaluates network conditions and hardware performance in real-time, switching between cloud and local rendering modes as conditions change. This dynamic adaptation ensures that cloud rendering is only used when network conditions are favorable, maintaining execution reliability while keeping hardware requirements low

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism that continuously monitors network state and rendering performance. Based on this feedback, the system automatically adjusts the rendering mode selection, ensuring that cloud rendering is used only when network conditions support reliable execution, thus resolving the contradiction between low hardware requirements and execution reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If rendering mode is selected in advance, then simple operation is achieved, but flexibility to adapt to environment changes is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemode selection simplicityVSAvoidenvironmental adaptation flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically evaluating performance metrics and selecting the optimal rendering mode without user intervention. This eliminates the need for users to manually configure or switch modes while maintaining full adaptability to changing environmental conditions, resolving the contradiction between operational simplicity and environmental adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The rendering mode selection is made dynamic through automated performance evaluation and real-time condition monitoring. The system adapts to environmental changes automatically, providing both ease of operation (no manual configuration needed) and flexibility (automatic adaptation to changing conditions)

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Stability of the object's composition

If rendering mode cannot be changed during execution, then stable operation is maintained, but flexibility to optimize performance is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation stabilityVSAvoidrendering efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic mode switching capability that allows transitions between local and cloud rendering modes during task execution based on real-time performance evaluation. This maintains operational stability through controlled, monitored transitions while enabling productivity optimization when environmental conditions change

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses continuous feedback from performance monitoring to determine when mode switching is appropriate. This feedback mechanism ensures that changes are made only when beneficial, maintaining stability during normal operation while enabling productivity optimization when conditions warrant a mode change

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
