Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If pre-provided effect props are used in video shooting applications, then the basic effect processing function is achieved, but the customization capability and display quality are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization capabilityVSAvoideffect prop variety
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables users to independently create and edit effect props through intuitive operations. Users can deform target objects, adjust material effects, and customize parameters without requiring complex professional skills. The automated processing handles the technical complexity while users focus on creative expression.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides extensive parameter adjustment options including deformation intensity, material type, color, transparency, and other properties. Users can continuously adjust these parameters to achieve desired effects, transforming static effect props into dynamic customizable elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If effect props are added to images, then the visual effect is enhanced, but the display quality and material effect rendering are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoideffect processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces traditional mechanical image processing methods with AI-based deep learning models. The material effect generation model automatically renders high-quality material effects based on input images and parameters, eliminating the need for complex manual processing and achieving superior display quality.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an AI-based material effect generation model as an intermediary between the user's effect prop and the final image. This intermediary automatically processes the deformation and material effect application, handling the technical complexity while producing high-quality results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If users perform customized editing of effect props, then the interactivity and user experience are improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interactivityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes and pre-generates material effects based on the deformed target object before final composition. The AI model prepares the material effect rendering in advance, so that when the user applies the effect prop, the processing is accelerated and requires less real-time computational resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system maintains continuous optimization of the material effect rendering process. The AI model continuously adjusts and refines the effect application based on user interactions, ensuring high quality while managing processing time through efficient iterative generation rather than sequential processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
