Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If traditional hardware/software configurations are used for three-dimensional rendering, then the system is simpler and easier to implement, but the processing speed is insufficient to refresh the screen within 30 milliseconds for complex objects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the processing system into multiple independent data processors that operate in parallel. Each processor handles specific portions of the three-dimensional rendering calculations, dividing the complex computation task into manageable segments that can be executed simultaneously, thereby achieving screen refresh rates within 30 milliseconds while managing system complexity through modular architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from traditional sequential processing to parallel processing across multiple dimensions of computation. By utilizing multiple data processors working simultaneously on different aspects of the rendering pipeline, the system adds a temporal dimension to processing, enabling frame rate improvements without proportionally increasing overall system complexity
2Productivity
If real-time manipulation of complex three-dimensional objects is implemented, then the visualization quality and interactivity improve, but the resource consumption exceeds the capabilities of existing configurations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the computational workload into segments handled by different data processors, allowing real-time manipulation of complex objects by distributing resource consumption across multiple processing units rather than concentrating it in a single overloaded processor, thereby achieving real-time performance without excessive resource consumption at any single point
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing three-dimensional object data in an optimized format before rendering. This includes pre-processing geometric data, material properties, and lighting information, so that during real-time manipulation, the system only needs to perform final composition and rendering operations, significantly reducing instantaneous resource consumption while maintaining high productivity
