Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional video interactive applications use limited style transformation capabilities, then the system complexity remains low, but the user experience and adaptability deteriorate due to insufficient personalization options

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage style transformation diversityVSAvoidmodel training and processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the image style transformation process into two distinct models: (1) an animal face generation model that transforms human faces into animal faces, and (2) an animal face style image generation model that applies style transfer. This segmentation allows each model to specialize in a specific task, improving overall adaptability while managing complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-training both the animal face generation model and the style image generation model before deployment. The models are trained offline using extensive datasets of human faces and animal face images, so that when deployed in video interactive applications, they can perform real-time style transformation without requiring complex runtime processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system implements personalized image style transformation, then user experience improves, but the loss of time increases due to extensive model training requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized style transformationVSAvoidmodel training time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing all model training operations offline before the application is deployed to users. The animal face generation model and style image generation model are trained in advance using large datasets, so that during actual use in video interactive applications, the models can quickly generate personalized animal face style images without requiring users to wait for training processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by training models on extensive datasets of animal face images and human face images. The models learn to generate realistic animal face styles by copying patterns and features from the training data, enabling personalized style transformation without requiring real-time access to extensive image libraries during application execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
