Problem

Existing three-dimensional scene production tools require manual classification and configuration of effect components, leading to increased learning and understanding costs for designers, and lack accuracy and effectiveness in rendering order management.

Innovation Solution

An effect production method that automatically determines the sub-scene and layer of an added effect component, presenting component label information in a hierarchical table with a predefined rendering sequence, allowing for intuitive adjustment and simplifying the production process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual classification and configuration of effect components is performed, then flexibility in component arrangement is maintained, but learning and understanding costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelearning and understanding costsVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically classifies effect components into sub-scenes and determines rendering sequences without requiring manual configuration by designers. The component addition operation triggers automatic placement in the appropriate hierarchical table based on predefined categories, making the system self-organizing and reducing learning costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent pre-defines sub-scene categories and rendering sequences before the design process begins. When components are added, the system references these pre-established classifications to automatically determine placement and rendering order, eliminating the need for designers to learn and configure complex hierarchical structures manually.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If manual configuration of rendering order is performed, then flexibility in rendering control is maintained, but accuracy and effectiveness decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverendering order accuracyVSAvoidproduction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically determines rendering sequences by analyzing the hierarchical table structure and component classifications. The rendering sequence is derived from the predefined sub-scene hierarchy, ensuring accurate and consistent rendering order without manual intervention, thereby improving both precision and efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical configuration of rendering orders with an automated computational system. The rendering sequence is automatically generated based on the hierarchical table structure and component attributes, eliminating human error and improving consistency while increasing production efficiency.

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

3Ease of manufacture

If effect components are added without automatic classification, then manual control over component placement is maintained, but production process complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction process simplicityVSAvoidclassification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments effect components into predefined sub-scene categories (e.g., background, foreground, effect elements) and organizes them in hierarchical tables. This segmentation automatically simplifies the production process by providing clear classification guidelines, while the underlying system complexity is hidden from the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The classification system operates autonomously, automatically assigning components to appropriate sub-scenes and hierarchical tables based on their attributes. This self-service mechanism simplifies the production process for users while the system's internal classification logic handles the complexity independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
