Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional vector image replay methods fail to accurately recreate the work environment and allow selective replay of specific parts or emotions in drawings, leading to inconvenience in communication and learning.

Innovation Solution

A method that extracts and stores replay information and work environment details for each vector line, enabling users to select and replay specific regions, change replay settings, and emphasize certain parts of the image, allowing for a more immersive and interactive experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If conventional vector image replay methods are used, then the entire work process must be replayed, but users cannot selectively replay specific parts or emotions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveselective replay capabilityVSAvoidwork environment information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the vector image into multiple independent work environments, each corresponding to a specific drawing operation or emotional expression. Users can select and replay individual work environments rather than the entire drawing process, enabling selective appreciation of specific parts or emotions while maintaining the ability to access complete work environment information when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If conventional vector image replay methods are used, then replay data requires full work process information, but this increases data requirements for high-quality playback

Engineering Contradiction:
Improve4K-quality playbackVSAvoidreplay data volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the necessary work environment information required for high-quality replay from the complete drawing process. By identifying and storing only the critical parameters needed for 4K-quality playback in selected work environments, the system reduces replay data volume while maintaining playback quality, avoiding the need to store and transmit entire work process information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional vector image replay methods are used, then the replay process lacks interactivity, but adding selective replay functionality increases system complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractive replay optionsVSAvoidreplay control system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic replay control system that adapts to user needs. The system can switch between different replay modes (selective work environment replay, sequential replay, or full process replay) based on user input. This dynamic approach provides high adaptability with interactive replay options while managing system complexity through flexible, context-dependent operation rather than rigid complex controls.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A method for replaying a vector image. The method includes: (a) extracting replay information and work environment information of each of the vector lines from an original vector image; (b) receiving a selection of regions of specific vector lines from a user; (c) changing and updating replay settings of the vector lines selected in step (b); (d) replaying the vector image selected by the user; and (e) storing the updated information of the vector image or ending the method for replaying the vector image. Therefore, it is possible to sequentially store every step of drawing work and even a work environment, in addition to vector line information, and replay the stored vector image, as if a scene in which an actual artist was drawing a picture were recorded, while breaking away from the conventional batch replay method of a vector image.
