Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current bra designs often fail to provide adequate dynamic support and comfort during activities, as they are typically designed in a static state and may cause compression or friction issues, leading to insufficient support and discomfort for women with varying body shapes and sizes.
Innovation Solution
An aided design method for female underwear that utilizes image analysis to generate customized bra designs by obtaining dynamic body parameters through images or videos, comparing them with a dynamic model database, and incorporating elastic support components to provide optimal support and comfort during dynamic activities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional static measurement and design methods are used, then the design process is simple, but the bra provides insufficient dynamic support and causes compression during activities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from static measurement to dynamic measurement by capturing images during actual activities (walking, running, jumping). The system analyzes breast position, shape, and movement trajectories in real-time during dynamic states, enabling the bra design to account for actual dynamic behavior rather than assuming static conditions. This resolves the contradiction by making the measurement process dynamic while maintaining design feasibility through automated image analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses image copying and simulation techniques to create virtual models of breast movement and bra performance. By capturing actual movement data through imaging and creating digital replicas, the system can simulate and optimize bra design without requiring multiple physical prototypes and repeated measurement cycles. This reduces design process complexity while improving dynamic support reliability.
2Measurement precision
If repeated measurement, pattern making, try-on, and reinforcement processes are performed, then measurement accuracy improves, but production difficulty increases and time is wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual measurement, pattern making, and physical try-on processes with an automated image analysis system. The system uses computer vision to automatically extract body measurements and breast dynamics from images, eliminating the need for repeated manual measurements and physical iterations. This substitution dramatically improves productivity while maintaining or enhancing measurement precision through consistent automated analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs comprehensive dynamic measurement and analysis in advance to create an optimized design model before production. By capturing all necessary measurement data during dynamic activities upfront and performing complete analysis beforehand, the system eliminates the need for repeated measurement and adjustment cycles during production, thereby improving efficiency while ensuring measurement accuracy.
3Stability of the object's composition
If underwire or flattening methods are used to stabilize the breast, then the breast position is fixed, but compression on the body and insufficient support during dynamic activities occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the design parameters of the elastic support components based on actual dynamic measurement data. By analyzing breast movement trajectories, position changes, and shape variations during activities, the system optimizes parameters such as elastic module distribution, component positioning, and tension characteristics. This enables the bra to provide adaptive support that maintains stability while reducing compression and friction through scientifically optimized parameters rather than rigid structural constraints.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different elastic module characteristics to different regions of the bra based on local breast movement patterns and support requirements. By analyzing specific areas of breast movement and compression during dynamic activities, the system creates non-uniform elastic support distribution, placing higher elasticity where needed for support and lower elasticity where flexibility is required, thereby reducing overall compression while maintaining local stability.
