Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If conventional 2D image processing methods are used for holographic images, then the processing is simple, but the holographic image characteristics (imaging distance, viewing angle, surface-hidden relationship) are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveholographic image characteristicsVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments holographic image data into multiple characteristic elements including imaging distance, viewing angle, surface-hidden relationship, and other depth information. Each element is processed and stored separately to preserve the complete 3D holographic characteristics while enabling efficient retrieval and reconstruction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If all holographic image elements are integrated and processed together, then the information is complete, but the storage and transmission efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage and transmission efficiencyVSAvoidintegration completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the holographic image data into distinct characteristic elements (imaging distance, viewing angle, surface-hidden relationship) that can be processed, stored, and transmitted independently. This segmentation improves efficiency while maintaining completeness through structured reintegration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a nested data structure where multiple levels of holographic characteristics are organized hierarchically. Characteristic elements are nested within frame data, which is nested within the overall holographic image structure, allowing efficient storage and selective processing of different detail levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Productivity

If real-time holographic image generation is implemented, then the display capability is enhanced, but the computational burden increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time generation capabilityVSAvoidcomputational energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary processing of holographic image data by pre-calculating and organizing characteristic elements (imaging distance, viewing angle, surface-hidden relationship) before actual display. This preliminary structuring enables faster real-time generation by avoiding redundant computations during the display phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

By segmenting the holographic data into distinct characteristic elements, the patent enables parallel processing of different elements, reducing the overall computational time and energy required for real-time generation while maintaining complete information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
