Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If virtual reality or augmented reality solutions are used for virtual trying on of glasses, then interactivity is improved, but data requirements and processing time increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveinteractivityVSAvoiddata requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a simplified 3D model that copies only the essential geometric features and visual appearance of real glasses, rather than using complete high-fidelity 3D models. This allows the virtual glasses to be rendered efficiently with minimal data while maintaining visual realism for the try-on experience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms detailed 3D model data into a simplified representation by changing the parameter complexity - using reduced polygon counts, simplified material properties, and optimized geometric parameters that maintain visual fidelity while dramatically reducing data requirements and processing loads

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If virtual reality or augmented reality solutions are used for virtual trying on of glasses, then interactivity is improved, but processing time increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveinteractivityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a simplified 3D model that copies only the essential geometric features and visual appearance of real glasses, rather than using complete high-fidelity 3D models. This allows the virtual glasses to be rendered efficiently with minimal data while maintaining visual realism for the try-on experience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary processing to create the simplified 3D model structure and pre-computes essential geometric properties before the actual virtual try-on operation. This preliminary preparation enables rapid real-time rendering and interaction without requiring complex computations during the user experience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Quantity of substance

If simplified geometric model is used for virtual glasses, then data requirements are reduced, but modeling precision may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata requirementsVSAvoidmodeling precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by concentrating geometric detail only where visually critical - such as the frame contours, lens boundaries, and key structural features - while using simplified geometry in less visible areas. This selective detail distribution maintains visual realism and modeling precision where needed while minimizing overall data requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

The invention relates to a method for determining a simplified geometric model (6) of a model of a pair of real glasses (4), said model consisting of a predetermined number N of faces and their normals by taking as orientation of these normals, the exterior of the convex envelope to the real pair of glasses (1). The simplified geometric model (6) of a real pair of glasses (4), consisting of a frame (4a) and lenses (4b), is obtained in a phase 100 in which: - a set of views of the pair of real glasses (4) to be modeled, with different viewing angles, - the simplified geometric model (6) is constructed, consisting of a number N of faces facej and their normal nj starting from a sparse surface mesh, and using an optimization algorithm that deforms the mesh of the model so that the projections of its silhouette in each of the views best match the silhouettes detected in the images.
