Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional image editing tools are used to combine images, then basic overlay operations can be performed, but the realism and visual quality of the fused images deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improverealism of overlay displayVSAvoidimage editing capability

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a target model as an intermediary component between the layer fusion process and the final output. This target model processes the selected layers and generates a target image with enhanced realism, resolving the contradiction by mediating the transformation from basic overlay to realistic fusion without requiring complex manual editing operations

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual layer fusion operations are performed, then image editing flexibility is improved, but the editing time and processing efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelayer fusion flexibilityVSAvoidimage editing efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically selecting layers and executing the fusion process through the target model without requiring extensive manual intervention. The user simply needs to trigger the fusion operation, and the system handles the complex processing autonomously, thereby maintaining flexibility while significantly improving editing efficiency

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Speed

If simple overlay operations are used, then processing speed is improved, but the visual content integration quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelayer processing speedVSAvoidvisual content integration quality

Core Design Contradiction:

SpeedVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The target model performs preliminary processing on the selected layers before final fusion, preparing the visual content in advance to ensure high-quality integration. This preliminary action enables the system to maintain fast processing speeds while achieving superior visual content integration quality, as the complex computations are pre-configured and optimized

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action
