Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If digital human simulation is performed without unified calibration standards, then simulation flexibility and platform diversity are maintained, but discrepancies between simulated behaviors and real human behaviors occur, compromising accuracy and reliability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimulation accuracyVSAvoidcalibration system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by establishing standardized calibration parameters for digital humans, including morphological parameters (body proportions, joint positions), functional parameters (movement ranges, action speeds), and interaction parameters (response times, gesture patterns). These standardized parameters enable accurate calibration across different digital human platforms without requiring complex custom calibration procedures for each system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The calibration system is segmented into multiple independent modules: data acquisition module, data processing module, calibration evaluation module, and optimization module. Each module handles specific aspects of the calibration process, allowing the system to manage complexity through functional decomposition while maintaining high measurement precision through specialized processing at each stage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple digital human technology platforms are integrated without standardized calibration, then platform versatility is maintained, but integration difficulties and challenges arise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform adaptabilityVSAvoidintegration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universality through a standardized calibration framework that can be applied across multiple digital human technology platforms. The calibration standards define universal parameters and evaluation criteria that work consistently regardless of the underlying platform, enabling the same calibration methodology to serve multiple platforms simultaneously and facilitating easy integration between different systems.

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

3Reliability

If digital human data acquisition and processing methods are not properly standardized, then implementation flexibility is maintained, but accuracy and reliability of simulation results are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by establishing comprehensive calibration standards and procedures before actual digital human simulation operations. The calibration framework pre-defines all necessary parameters, evaluation criteria, and processing methods, so that when simulation operations are performed, they automatically benefit from the pre-established standards without requiring complex real-time decision-making or ad-hoc adjustments.
