Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If complete three-dimensional models or specifications are generated using existing techniques, then interactive image features can be provided, but the process becomes resource intensive and prohibitive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractive image featuresVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a synthetic three-dimensional model by copying and integrating features from multiple two-dimensional images rather than generating a complete model from scratch. The system extracts depth maps, segmentation masks, and other features from 2D images and synthesizes a 3D representation that provides interactive capabilities without requiring resource-intensive complete model generation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs partial three-dimensional model generation by creating only the necessary components for interactive features rather than complete models. It generates depth maps, segmentation masks, and synthetic 3D representations only where needed to enable image manipulation, lighting changes, and composition modifications, avoiding the resource overhead of full model creation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Adaptability or versatility

If complete three-dimensional models are generated, then interactive features are enabled, but the process time increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractive image capabilitiesVSAvoidmodel generation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary processing by pre-extracting features such as depth maps, segmentation masks, and surface normals from the input two-dimensional images before the interactive operations are needed. This preliminary action creates a prepared synthetic 3D model structure that can be quickly manipulated for various interactive features without requiring time-consuming model generation during actual use

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent synthesizes a three-dimensional model by copying and integrating extracted features from multiple 2D images, enabling rapid model creation. This copying approach allows the system to generate interactive 3D representations from existing image data much faster than traditional complete model generation methods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Manufacturing precision

If photorealistic interactive imagery is generated with full three-dimensional capabilities, then image quality is high, but computational resources and time are excessively consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidimage generation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the approach from generating complete high-precision 3D models to creating synthetic 3D representations with selectively applied precision. It uses parameter-based control to generate photorealistic imagery only where needed, adjusting the level of detail and computational precision based on the specific interactive feature being implemented, thereby maintaining image quality while improving generation efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent achieves photorealistic image quality by copying and integrating high-fidelity features such as depth maps, segmentation masks, surface normals, and material properties from multiple input images. This copying approach preserves the visual quality of the original images while creating a synthetic 3D structure that enables interactive manipulation without requiring complete high-precision model generation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
