Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing techniques are used to generate complete three-dimensional models or specifications for interactive images, then interactive features can be provided, but the process becomes resource-intensive and prohibitive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractive featuresVSAvoidthree-dimensional model generation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by generating only the necessary three-dimensional information needed for interactive features rather than complete three-dimensional models. The system processes a small number of input images to extract sufficient geometric and semantic data to enable interactive manipulation, such as object removal, background replacement, and viewpoint changes, without constructing full three-dimensional representations of all scene elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by creating simplified three-dimensional representations or proxies of scene elements from limited input images. These copies contain the essential geometric and semantic information needed for interactive operations but are far less resource-intensive than complete three-dimensional models. The system generates synthetic views by manipulating these copied representations rather than working with full three-dimensional data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Adaptability or versatility

If complete three-dimensional models are generated to enable interactive features, then image manipulation capabilities are improved, but the time and resources required increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage manipulation capabilitiesVSAvoidimage generation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs partial action by extracting only the specific three-dimensional attributes necessary for the desired interactive features from a small number of input images. Rather than generating complete three-dimensional models, the system processes minimal data to achieve the required manipulation capabilities, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting the level of three-dimensional detail generated based on the specific interactive features required. The system dynamically determines the appropriate amount of three-dimensional information needed for each operation (object removal, background replacement, viewpoint change) and generates only that level of detail, optimizing the balance between capability and processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
