Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If manual HTML coding is used to create image maps, then precision in defining coordinate ranges is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to complicated and time-consuming processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary tool that acts as a mediator between the user and the HTML code. This tool automatically generates the coordinate range definitions and HTML code based on user interactions, eliminating the need for manual coding while maintaining precision through automated calculation and generation of accurate coordinate data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically generating the coordinate ranges and HTML code without requiring manual intervention. The tool performs the complex task of defining coordinate ranges autonomously based on user selections, making the process both precise and easy to operate.
2Ease of operation
If graphical image map editors are used to facilitate creation, then ease of operation is improved, but the ability to create and associate interactive media with particular parts of an image deteriorates due to lack of functionality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal platform that combines multiple functions into a single system. This platform not only provides the ease of graphical editing but also integrates the capability to create and associate interactive media with specific image parts. The system serves multiple purposes: graphical interface for ease of use, automated coordinate generation for precision, and interactive media association for versatility, all within one unified tool.
3Ease of operation
If existing image map tools are used, then ease of operation is improved, but productivity deteriorates due to inability to efficiently create and share interactive media content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the content creation process with the content sharing mechanism into a unified workflow. The system combines graphical editing capabilities, interactive media association, and sharing functionality into a single integrated platform. This allows users to create interactive media content and share it through the same interface, eliminating the need for separate tools and significantly improving productivity while maintaining ease of operation.
Data Source
AI summary
Methods, media, and systems are disclosed for creating and sharing interactive media. A set of media files are received, from which a background image is selected. A representation of the background image is displayed. A placement gesture is received having a release point on the display corresponding to placement of an interactive media icon within the background medium. Icon properties information is received regarding one or more properties of the interactive media icon. Icon placement information. A request to access the interactive media package is received from a second user.
