Innovation Solution

Establish an association relationship between particles through a list of events, allowing for varied particle interactions and multiple types of particles to enhance the effect screen's richness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If fixed attribute updates are used for particles, then the processing is simple and efficient, but the richness and diversity of visual effects are poor

Engineering Contradiction:

Improverichness of visual effectsVSAvoidcomplexity of particle processing

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic attribute updates by establishing association relationships between particles through lists of events. Instead of fixed attribute updates, particles can dynamically change their attributes (position, color, size) based on event associations, enabling rich visual effects like explosions and trailing while maintaining manageable processing complexity through structured event-driven updates

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments particle processing into distinct phases: generating first particles, establishing association relationships through lists of events, and generating second particles with varied attributes. This segmentation allows complex visual effects to be built systematically from simple components, improving richness while keeping the processing structure organized and manageable

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple types of particles are generated to improve diversity, then the richness of effect screen is improved, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvediversity of particlesVSAvoidparticle processing efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a universal approach where first particles serve as templates to generate multiple types of second particles through association relationships. The same first particle can generate different second particles with varying attributes (position, color, size) based on different event associations, achieving particle diversity without requiring separate processing for each particle type, thus maintaining processing efficiency

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
