Embroidery Data Processing Device Random Pattern Arrangement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing embroidery data processing devices require significant time and effort for users to generate embroidery data with randomly arranged multiple patterns, as they need to manually copy and arrange unit patterns, which is inefficient.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device, sewing machine, and non-transitory recording medium that randomly arrange embroidery patterns within a coordinate area set in an embroidery frame, which can be moved in two directions, allowing for automatic and efficient generation of embroidery data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If unit patterns are manually copied and arranged one by one, then arrangement flexibility is improved, but time consumption and operational effort increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses computer-based copying of pattern data to replace manual copying. The processing device automatically copies unit pattern data multiple times and arranges the copied patterns according to predetermined conditions, eliminating the need for users to manually copy and arrange each pattern individually while maintaining arrangement flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual arrangement process with an automated information processing system. The processing device uses computer algorithms to automatically arrange copied patterns based on predetermined conditions such as random arrangement, circular arrangement, or grid arrangement, substituting manual mechanical operations with automated digital processing.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple patterns are manually arranged to achieve random layout, then design variety is improved, but operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic arrangement capabilities where the processing device can switch between different arrangement modes (random, circular, grid, etc.) based on user selection. The system dynamically adjusts arrangement parameters and patterns according to the selected mode, providing design variety without requiring users to manually configure complex arrangement parameters for each design scenario.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal processing device that can handle multiple arrangement types and design scenarios through a single integrated system. The device provides multi-functional arrangement capabilities including random arrangement, circular arrangement, grid arrangement, and other patterns, all accessible through a unified interface, eliminating the need for separate tools or complex manual procedures for each design type.
3Adaptability or versatility
If patterns are arranged without automated positioning, then arrangement freedom is improved, but positioning precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automated positioning with feedback control where the processing device calculates precise coordinates for each pattern based on predetermined arrangement conditions and automatically positions patterns at these calculated locations. The system provides feedback on pattern positions and allows adjustment while maintaining precise positioning, combining arrangement freedom with positioning accuracy through computer-controlled coordinate management.
