Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for effective methods and devices to map out designs of industrial products, works of art, structures, and handcrafts using symbolized images, such as Korean and English characters, and numerals, and to analyze these designs for easy interpretation and industrial applications.

Innovation Solution

A device and method that utilize symbolized images by creating symbolic signs based on the shape of blank spaces in character or numeral images, allowing for the design and analysis of objects by displaying and extracting these images, with the ability to output and interpret symbolized images on various industrial products.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If symbolized images are used to map out designs of industrial products, then the visual appeal and information delivery are improved, but the complexity of design mapping and analysis increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation deliveryVSAvoiddesign mapping complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the design mapping process into distinct functional modules: a design processing part that handles symbolized image creation and placement, and an analysis part that extracts and interprets symbolized images from designed objects. This segmentation reduces overall system complexity by dividing the complex task into manageable, specialized components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces symbolized images as an intermediary element between traditional character-based information and visual design elements. These symbolized images serve as a bridge that conveys linguistic or symbolic information within the visual design context, improving information delivery while maintaining design integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If detailed analysis of symbolized images is performed on designed objects, then the interpretation accuracy is improved, but the analysis time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterpretation accuracyVSAvoidanalysis time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The analysis part of the patent extracts only the relevant symbolized images from the complete designed object, rather than analyzing the entire object in detail. This selective extraction approach maintains high interpretation accuracy for the symbolized elements while significantly reducing overall analysis time and computational resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different analysis depths to different parts of the designed object: detailed analysis is applied specifically to regions containing symbolized images where high interpretation accuracy is needed, while other regions receive minimal or no analysis, optimizing the balance between accuracy and efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A first method for mapping out a design by using a symbolized image and a second method for analyzing an object of design to which a symbolized image is applied is provided. The first method includes the steps of: mapping out an object of design to display the symbolized image including a symbolic sign created at a position in the symbolized image corresponding to a blank space of a character image; and outputting an image of the object of design. Further, the second method includes the steps of: receiving information on an appearance of the object of design implemented by using a symbolized image including a symbolic sign created at a position in the symbolized image corresponding to a blank space of the character image; extracting the symbolized image implemented on the object of design; and (c) displaying the extracted symbolized image.
