Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional post-production methods are used for image special effects, then multiple special effects can be achieved, but the processing is not real-time and is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespecial effect processing speedVSAvoidpost-production time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining special effect parameters and processing rules in advance. The system pre-configures multiple special effect types with their corresponding processing parameters, so that when an image is input, the predetermined effects can be immediately applied without requiring time-consuming post-production processing. This enables real-time special effect processing while maintaining effect quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If developers write separate programs for each special effect, then multiple special effects can be achieved, but the implementation becomes complicated and inflexible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespecial effect varietyVSAvoidprogram complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universality by creating a unified special effect processing system that handles multiple special effect types through a single standardized interface. The system defines a universal parameter structure that can accommodate various special effects (such as grayscale, sepia, brightness adjustment) without requiring separate programs for each effect. This unified approach enables flexible switching between different effects while simplifying the overall implementation complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by representing different special effects as variations of processing parameters rather than separate program logic. The system uses a parameter-based configuration where each special effect is defined by specific parameter values and processing rules. By changing parameters rather than rewriting programs, the system achieves high adaptability for multiple effects while maintaining simple and flexible implementation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple implementations are required for multiple special effects, then various effects can be achieved, but the program size increases and becomes labor-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespecial effect capabilityVSAvoidimplementation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the special effect processing system into independent, modular components. Each special effect is implemented as a separate processing module with its own parameter configuration, but all modules follow a unified interface and processing framework. This segmentation allows the system to support multiple special effects without requiring a single large, complex implementation, thereby reducing labor intensity while maintaining versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
