Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If users provide text prompts with complex parameters for image generation, then image generation accuracy can be improved, but user operation complexity increases and ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage generation accuracyVSAvoiduser operation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary translation mechanism that converts simple user drawings into detailed text prompts with appropriate parameters. The system acts as a mediator between the user's simple drawing input and the complex image generation model requirements, automatically generating descriptive text that includes necessary parameters without requiring users to manually specify them. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining ease of operation while achieving accurate image generation through the intermediary's parameter translation capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by allowing users to simply draw what they want without needing to understand complex parameter settings. The automated prompt generation system serves itself by translating the drawing into appropriate text prompts with parameters, eliminating the need for users to manually configure complex settings. This maintains operational simplicity while achieving accurate image generation through the system's autonomous parameter translation capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Manufacturing precision

If users manually describe image parameters in text, then image generation precision can be improved, but time consumption increases and productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage generation precisionVSAvoidimage generation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically generating detailed text prompts and parameter configurations before the actual image generation process. Instead of requiring users to spend time manually describing parameters, the system pre-translates the user's simple drawing into comprehensive text prompts with appropriate parameters, ready for immediate image generation. This eliminates time-consuming manual parameter description while maintaining generation precision through the pre-computed detailed prompts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical process of manual text description with an automated translation mechanism. The system substitutes the user's manual parameter description action with an automated drawing-to-text translation process, eliminating the time-consuming manual input while maintaining precision through the automated generation of detailed prompts with appropriate parameters.

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

3Manufacturing precision

If the system requires detailed text descriptions for image generation, then image accuracy can be improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage generation accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary translation layer that handles the complexity of parameter translation between simple drawings and detailed text prompts. This intermediary system absorbs the complexity of parameter mapping and translation, presenting a simple drawing interface to users while internally managing the complex transformation to accurate text prompts. The intermediary mechanism resolves the contradiction by containing system complexity within the translation layer while maintaining simple user interaction and accurate image generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

An electronic device includes a touch screen display, one or more processors including processing circuitry, and memory storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to receive, via the touch screen display, a drawing based on a first user input, receive, via the touch screen display, a second user input for generating an image, acquire description information of the drawing, based on the second user input, determine a similarity between the drawing and the image to be generated, acquire the image to be generated based on at least a portion of the description information and the similarity, and display, via the touch screen display, the image.
