Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If existing solutions use 3D modelling for experience generation, then virtual interaction capability is provided, but it requires substantial technical expertise and time to create 3D models for each product

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of creating virtual modelsVSAvoidtime required to create 3D models
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses image generation models to create virtual 3D representations of outdoor spaces and products by copying and transforming 2D images into 3D virtual models. This eliminates the need for manual 3D modeling while maintaining realistic visual representations, directly addressing the time-consuming nature of traditional 3D model creation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical 3D modeling processes with automated AI-based image generation systems. Instead of requiring technical expertise to create 3D models, the system uses generative AI algorithms to automatically transform 2D images into 3D virtual representations, significantly reducing the skill barrier and time investment

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If existing solutions focus on 3D modelling for experience generation, then virtual interaction is enabled, but they lack ability to provide continuous iteration of design and interaction with design attributes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to iterate design continuouslyVSAvoidcomplexity of design iteration system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic design iteration by allowing users to continuously modify virtual space attributes such as lighting conditions, weather effects, product placements, and spatial arrangements. The system responds in real-time to user inputs, enabling flexible and adaptive design exploration without requiring complex manual reconfiguration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where users can interact with virtual representations, provide feedback on design attributes, and the system iteratively refines the virtual model accordingly. This closed-loop feedback system enables continuous design improvement while maintaining manageable complexity through automated response to user inputs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If existing solutions use mixed reality-based approaches, then object placement modification is possible, but they lack automatic image regeneration and attribute-based interaction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of design modificationVSAvoidease of attribute interaction
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-generating multiple virtual variations of outdoor spaces with different attributes before user interaction. The system pre-creates alternative configurations of lighting, weather, product arrangements, and spatial layouts, allowing users to instantly switch between pre-computed options rather than modifying each attribute manually in real-time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables attribute-based interaction by allowing users to modify virtual space parameters such as lighting intensity, weather conditions, product quantities, and spatial positions. The system automatically regenerates images based on these parameter changes, providing efficient and intuitive control over virtual representations without requiring complex manual operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
