Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If existing techniques for generating three-dimensional models or specifications are used, then complete 3D models can be created, but the process becomes resource-intensive and prohibitive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of 3D modelVSAvoidefficiency of image generation
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by generating only the necessary portions of 3D information needed for interactive image generation. Instead of creating complete 3D models, the system processes images to extract sufficient geometric and semantic data to enable interactive operations, thereby reducing computational resources while maintaining functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the image generation process into distinct stages: initial image processing, selective 3D feature extraction, and interactive image synthesis. This segmentation allows the system to focus computational resources only on generating the specific 3D characteristics needed for interactivity, rather than producing comprehensive 3D models

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If complete three-dimensional models are generated, then full interactivity is achieved, but resource consumption becomes prohibitive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractivity capabilityVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system generates only partial 3D information sufficient for interactive operations. By extracting and processing only the essential geometric features needed for user interaction rather than complete model data, the patent reduces computational energy consumption while preserving adaptability and versatility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by concentrating computational resources on generating 3D characteristics in specific regions or aspects of the image that are most important for interactivity. This selective approach maintains versatility where needed while minimizing overall resource consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
