Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method that include a cut input controller, an effect input controller, and a cut generator to create cartoon content with user-defined effects, allowing layers to move and change direction based on user events, and a display unit to calculate and control the movement of layers according to property information and user interactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If cartoon content is displayed with multiple layers and perspective effects, then the visual quality and user engagement are improved, but the computational complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of cartoon content creationVSAvoidcomplexity of effect processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The cartoon content is divided into multiple layers, each layer being independently controllable and processable. This segmentation allows the system to apply different effects to different layers without processing the entire content as one unit, reducing overall computational complexity while maintaining visual quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements dynamic effect application where perspective effects and movement parameters are adjusted in real-time based on user events and interactions. This allows the cartoon content to adapt its visual properties dynamically without requiring complete reprocessing of static content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If perspective effects are applied to multiple layers with different movement degrees, then the visual realism and user engagement are improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveversatility of effect applicationVSAvoidtime for effect processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Movement degrees and directions are pre-calculated and stored for each layer based on its depth position. When perspective effects need to be applied, the system retrieves these pre-computed parameters rather than calculating them from scratch, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining effect versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes key parameters such as movement degree, direction, and speed based on layer depth information. By parameterizing the perspective effects according to layer positions, the system can efficiently control multiple layers with different visual properties without complex individual processing for each layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If cartoon content dynamically responds to user events with layer movement and perspective effects, then user engagement is improved, but the system complexity and control mechanisms increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractivity of cartoon contentVSAvoidcomplexity of control system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where user events trigger specific perspective effects and layer movements. The display controller continuously monitors user interactions and adjusts layer parameters in response, creating an interactive experience without requiring complex predictive or generative control systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
