Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods fail to efficiently insert moving pictures into 3D graphics without pre-processing, particularly in real-time, and struggle to provide dynamic user interfaces within 3D environments, such as games, limiting the ability to display advertisements and interactive content.

Innovation Solution

A method involving receiving moving picture data from a server, capturing frame images at predetermined intervals, setting textures with insertion coordinates, and rendering these images within a 3D environment using a moving picture player and 3D engine, allowing for real-time insertion and dynamic user interface creation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If moving picture data is inserted into 3D graphic without pre-process, then the complexity of server processing is reduced, but the real-time rendering performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveserver processing complexityVSAvoidreal-time rendering performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-generating texture images from moving picture frames and storing them in texture memory before they are needed for 3D rendering. This allows the rendering system to directly use pre-processed textures without performing complex processing in real-time, thus maintaining both reduced server complexity and good rendering performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary texture memory system that acts as a buffer between the moving picture data source and the 3D rendering engine. This intermediary layer pre-converts moving picture frames into texture formats suitable for 3D rendering, eliminating the need for real-time processing while ensuring compatibility between different data formats.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If moving picture is captured and rendered in real-time, then the advertising impact is enhanced, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertising impactVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic action by capturing moving picture frames at predetermined time intervals rather than continuously. This approach maintains the dynamic visual impact needed for effective advertising while significantly reducing the processing burden compared to continuous real-time capture and rendering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by selectively processing only specific frames of the moving picture at predetermined intervals rather than processing every frame. This provides sufficient visual impact for advertising purposes while avoiding the excessive computational resources that would be required for complete real-time processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Stability of the object's composition

If frame capture images are drawn at predetermined time intervals, then the synchronization with 3D picture updates is improved, but the smoothness of moving picture playback deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesynchronization stabilityVSAvoidplayback smoothness
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the frame capture interval adaptive rather than completely fixed. The system adjusts the capture frequency based on the specific requirements of each moving picture and the performance capabilities of the rendering system, allowing optimization between synchronization stability and playback smoothness for different scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
