Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual classification of source files is performed, then classification accuracy can be maintained, but time consumption and labor requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic self-classification of source files by extracting and analyzing metadata independently, eliminating the need for manual intervention while maintaining classification accuracy through automated algorithms that process file characteristics and generate appropriate asset class assignments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical classification processes with automated computational systems that extract metadata, analyze file characteristics, and classify source files using algorithms, thereby reducing time consumption while maintaining or improving classification accuracy

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

2Loss of information

If all source files are transmitted for processing, then complete data is available for analysis, but network and computational resources are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidcomputational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the necessary metadata and key characteristics from source files for classification purposes, rather than transmitting and processing the complete file data. This extraction approach maintains essential information for accurate classification while significantly reducing network and computational resource requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the data processing task by separating essential metadata extraction from complete file processing. Only the segmented metadata portions are transmitted and analyzed for classification, while the full files are processed only after classification is determined, optimizing resource utilization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If incorrect classification occurs, then processing may continue, but quality of digital reality capture assets deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing continuityVSAvoidasset quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that validate classification results and enable correction of misclassifications. By reviewing and verifying asset class assignments, the system ensures that only correctly classified source files proceed to digital asset generation, maintaining high output quality while preserving processing efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A method for classifying a set of source files of reality capture data into an asset class of digital reality capture assets may include receiving, from a user device, a set of payloads including metadata of the set of source files of the reality capture data corresponding to a region of interest captured by a camera. The method may include classifying the set of source files of the reality capture data into the asset class of the digital reality capture assets, based on the set of payloads including the metadata of the set of source files of the reality capture data. The method may include providing, to the user device, information identifying the asset class of the digital reality capture assets to which the set of source files are classified to permit a digital reality capture asset, corresponding to the asset class, of the region of interest to be generated based on the set of source files.
