Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If 3D human body models are acquired by calling data in existing virtual fitting systems, then the system operation is simple, but the accuracy of the 3D human body models deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem operation simplicityVSAvoid3D human body model accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual data input method with an automated depth camera-based scanning system. The depth camera automatically captures and processes body measurements through optical fields, substituting the mechanical/manual data entry process with an optical measurement system that directly generates accurate 3D models without user intervention.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service measurement where the depth camera autonomously scans the user's body, automatically processes the depth images, and generates the 3D human body model without requiring user input or manual measurement. The system serves itself by automatically completing the entire measurement and modeling process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If depth cameras are used to scan the model body from multiple angles, then the accuracy of the three-dimensional model is improved, but the time required for scanning increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethree-dimensional model accuracyVSAvoidscanning time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs periodic action by using a turntable to rotate the model body at regular intervals, allowing the depth camera to capture images at multiple predetermined angles systematically. This periodic rotation enables comprehensive multi-angle scanning while maintaining a controlled and efficient scanning process that balances accuracy with time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Measurement precision

If mark points are generated on the body surface for feature determination, then the precision of body surface feature identification is improved, but the complexity of the scanning system increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies color changes by projecting structured light patterns (including different colors or intensity variations) onto the model body surface. These optical patterns create visible mark points that correspond to specific body surface features, enabling precise feature identification through optical detection without adding mechanical complexity to the scanning system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes
