Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional techniques are used to create visual patterns, then the patterns can be created for dedicated scenarios, but subsequent editing, arrangement, styling, and use are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting and arrangement flexibilityVSAvoidpattern structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The visual pattern is segmented into discrete radial pattern cells that can be independently manipulated. The system divides the continuous radial pattern into repeatable units that can be individually edited, moved, and arranged while maintaining the overall radial structure, thereby enabling flexible editing and arrangement without redesigning the entire pattern.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms the radial pattern from a two-dimensional continuous image into a structured grid of discrete cells with spatial coordinates. This dimensional organization allows patterns to be manipulated in both the radial dimension and the grid dimension, providing multiple degrees of freedom for editing and arrangement while maintaining structural integrity.

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

2Ease of operation

If radial patterns are converted to radial vector patterns, then editing and resizing capabilities are enhanced, but computing device operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting and resizing capabilityVSAvoidcomputing device operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces complex manual vector pattern creation operations with an automated computational process. The radial pattern decoding system automatically performs the transformation from raster radial patterns to vector representations through algorithmic processing, eliminating the need for manual vector tracing while enhancing editing and resizing capabilities through numerical stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If radial patterns are unfolded and inflated to generate grid patterns, then conversion to radial vector patterns is enabled, but processing steps increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepattern conversion capabilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary unfolding and inflation operations on the radial pattern to create a standardized grid pattern structure before the actual vector conversion. This preliminary processing organizes the radial data into a systematic grid format that simplifies subsequent vector transformation, reducing the overall processing time compared to direct conversion methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A digital image radial pattern decoding system is described. In one example, an unfolded digital image is formed by the radial pattern decoding system by unfolding a radial pattern in a digital image. An inflated digital image is then generated by the radial pattern decoding system by upsampling the unfolded radial pattern. A grid pattern is determined by the radial pattern decoding system based on the inflated digital image. A radial pattern cell is then generated based on a reverse transform of the grid pattern. A visual pattern is generated by the radial pattern decoding system based on the radial pattern cell.
