Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If traditional avatar generation systems use advanced algorithms to create realistic avatars, then avatar realism and personalization are improved, but computational intensity and device requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavatar realism and personalizationVSAvoidcomputational intensity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The avatar generation process is divided into separate modules: image preprocessing, pose data generation, template selection, alignment, optimization, and customization. Each module handles a specific aspect independently, allowing the system to process complex tasks through simpler, specialized functions rather than requiring a single complex algorithm

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing images to extract body figures and generating pose data before avatar creation. Templates are pre-selected based on persona characteristics, and the alignment process is prepared in advance, reducing the computational burden during the main avatar generation process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If traditional systems require extensive manual input for avatar customization, then avatar personalization is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavatar personalizationVSAvoidmanual input requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically extracting body figure data from uploaded images, generating pose data, selecting appropriate templates, and adjusting avatar parameters without requiring manual user input. The optimization process automatically adjusts avatar model parameters based on comparison with user images, eliminating the need for users to manually customize their avatars

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Manual mechanical input (user manually adjusting avatar parameters) is replaced with an automated optimization system that uses gradient descent algorithms to automatically adjust avatar parameters based on image data, substituting human manual adjustment with computational automation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Manufacturing precision

If avatar generation uses complex algorithms and processing steps, then avatar quality is improved, but device complexity and scalability are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The complex avatar generation system is segmented into distinct functional units: image preprocessing unit, pose detection unit, avatar generation unit with sub-units for template selection, alignment, and optimization, and customization unit. This modular architecture reduces overall system complexity by breaking down complex operations into manageable, independent components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system achieves universality by using a single standardized workflow that can handle different user types and avatar requirements. The same preprocessing, pose detection, template selection, alignment, and optimization processes work for all users, making the system scalable without requiring device-specific complex algorithms

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