Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If only a locating prompt is provided for the to-be-recognized object, then the system structure remains simple, but the user experience becomes boring and graphics processing resource utilization is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by introducing dynamic visual effects that change during the recognition process. Specifically, it displays animated effects such as pulsing outlines, color changes, and progressive revelation of recognition results, transforming the static locating prompt into a dynamic visual experience that engages users while maintaining the same underlying system structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes color changes as a key visual effect to enhance user experience. It employs color transitions, hue variations, and brightness adjustments in the visual effects displayed during recognition, such as changing the color of outlines from gray to vibrant colors, and using color gradients to indicate recognition progress, thereby making the interface more engaging without complicating the system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

2Ease of operation

If visual effects are added during the recognition process, then user engagement improves, but graphics processing resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidgraphics processing resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by selectively applying visual effects only to specific regions or elements that benefit most from enhancement. Instead of applying full visual effects to the entire interface, it focuses effects on the locating prompt, recognized object boundaries, and key information areas, thereby reducing overall graphics processing demands while maintaining user engagement in critical areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses periodic action through animated visual effects that pulse, blink, or cycle through states at controlled intervals. The visual effects are designed with periodic patterns such as pulsing outlines that expand and contract rhythmically, or color cycles that transition through hues at set frequencies, creating engagement through motion while allowing processing resources to breathe between animation frames rather than maintaining constant high-load effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Ease of operation

If multiple visual effects are displayed during recognition, then the recognition process becomes more engaging, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition process engagementVSAvoidvisual processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple visual effects into a unified rendering system. Instead of implementing separate processing pipelines for each visual effect (outlines, colors, animations), it combines them into a single integrated visual effects layer that processes all effects together, reducing the overall system complexity while maintaining the engaging multi-effect experience during object recognition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
