Solution Overview

Problem

Current nail printing technologies are limited in the variety of patterns they can store, failing to meet the diverse individual needs of users, as they primarily rely on manual painting or limited automated devices.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for sharing nail printing patterns, which involves receiving, verifying, and storing nail printing patterns and price information on a server, allowing users to upload and share custom patterns, facilitating both free and paid usage, and managing pattern storage and distribution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual painting is used for nail printing, then flexibility in pattern creation is improved, but productivity and efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepattern creation flexibilityVSAvoidprinting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses digital copying of patterns through image processing. Users can capture images of desired patterns (from magazines, photos, or other sources) and import them into the nail printing system. The system then processes these images and prints them onto nails, eliminating the need for manual painting while maintaining pattern flexibility. This resolves the contradiction by allowing efficient digital reproduction of diverse patterns without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Productivity

If automated nail printing devices with limited pattern libraries are used, then productivity is improved, but adaptability to diverse user needs deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprinting efficiencyVSAvoidpattern variety
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal pattern sharing platform that allows any user to upload, store, and share patterns with others. The system serves multiple functions: it acts as a pattern database, a sharing network, and a customization platform. Users can access patterns created by others, share their own creations, and customize existing patterns. This multi-functional approach dramatically expands pattern variety while maintaining automated printing efficiency.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a single-device pattern library to a networked multi-dimensional pattern ecosystem. Patterns are no longer confined to one device but are distributed across a network of users and devices. This dimensional expansion allows any user to access virtually unlimited patterns from the entire user community, resolving the limitation of fixed pattern libraries while maintaining automated printing capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Adaptability or versatility

If a pattern sharing platform is implemented, then adaptability and pattern variety are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepattern availabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between users and the pattern printing process. The server handles pattern storage, image processing, sharing logistics, and device communication. This intermediary absorbs the complexity of the sharing platform, allowing individual nail printing devices to remain relatively simple while still accessing the full power of the networked pattern library. The server mediates all complex operations, isolating complexity from the end-user devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a method, device, storage medium, and system for sharing a nail printing pattern. The method may include receiving the nail printing pattern and price information of the nail printing pattern uploaded by a first account via a first user terminal or a first nail printing device; verifying the nail printing pattern and the price information of the nail printing pattern based on a preset rule; and if the nail printing pattern qualifies for the preset rule, storing qualified nail printing pattern to a server.
