Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If single existing image is used for effect processing, then processing simplicity is maintained, but content diversity and presentation effect deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprocessing simplicityVSAvoidcontent diversity

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the input images into multiple functional components: at least two content reference images providing different content sources, and a posture reference image providing pose information. This segmentation allows the system to process multiple images simultaneously while maintaining organized, manageable processing streams for each image type, thereby achieving content diversity without overwhelming processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a multi-functional processing system where the effect processing apparatus can handle multiple types of reference images (content reference images and posture reference image) and generate diverse effect images by combining different content sources with posture information. This universal framework enables various effect generation modes while using a unified processing architecture, achieving versatility without proportional increases in complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If traditional effect processing is used, then interaction mode simplicity is maintained, but interaction flexibility and user experience deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinteraction mode simplicityVSAvoidinteraction flexibility

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic interaction capabilities where users can flexibly select and combine different content reference images and posture reference images based on their needs. The system dynamically adapts to different user preferences and requirements, allowing flexible composition of effect images while maintaining simple triggering operations. This dynamic approach enables rich interaction flexibility without requiring complex operational procedures.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple content reference images and posture reference image are processed together, then content richness and presentation effect are improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent richnessVSAvoidprocessing complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the processing task into distinct functional modules: one module handles content reference images to extract and process content information, another module handles the posture reference image to extract pose information, and a final module combines these processed results. This segmentation allows parallel processing of multiple images while maintaining organized, manageable complexity in each processing stream, achieving content richness without overwhelming processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

4Adaptability or versatility

If effect processing generates diverse content, then presentation effect is improved, but interaction monotony worsens

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent diversityVSAvoidinteraction monotony

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary organization and preparation of multiple content reference images and posture reference images before the actual effect generation. Users can pre-select and configure the reference images in advance, and the system pre-processes these images to extract necessary information. When the effect trigger is activated, the pre-prepared materials are quickly combined and generated into diverse effect images, achieving content diversity while maintaining simple, non-monotonous interaction.
