Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If image layers of smart stickers are directly overlaid on specific regions, then the smart sticker function is achieved, but details of objects in those regions are lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesmart sticker applicationVSAvoidobject details

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the vehicle body surface into multiple regions based on detected objects and their spatial relationships. By dividing the application area into distinct zones (e.g., front region, side region, rear region) and further subdividing based on object proximity, the system prevents smart sticker image layers from overlapping with objects. This segmentation allows selective application of smart stickers to regions where objects are absent, preserving object details while maintaining smart sticker functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary object detection and region identification before applying smart stickers. By first detecting objects in the vehicle body space and pre-determining safe application regions, the system avoids overlapping smart sticker images with objects. This preliminary action ensures that smart sticker application does not sacrifice object details, as the application regions are predetermined to exclude object-occupied areas.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of manufacture

If conventional smart sticker applications are used, then the basic overlay function is achieved, but positioning accuracy is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesmart sticker applicationVSAvoidpositioning accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional mechanical or manual positioning methods with an AI-based detection and positioning system. By using object detection algorithms and spatial relationship analysis, the system automatically determines precise positioning coordinates for smart stickers. This substitution of mechanical positioning with intelligent algorithms significantly improves positioning accuracy, ensuring smart stickers are correctly aligned with intended regions while avoiding overlaps with objects.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system continuously monitors the vehicle body space, detects objects, and adjusts smart sticker positioning based on real-time spatial relationships. The system uses feedback from object detection results to dynamically determine safe application regions and refine positioning coordinates, ensuring high accuracy and adaptability to different vehicle configurations and object arrangements.

3Shape

If smart stickers are positioned to cover specific regions, then the visual effect is improved, but object details are obscured

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

ShapeVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating treatment for different regions of the vehicle body. Based on object detection results, the system identifies regions with high object density and excludes them from smart sticker application. Conversely, regions with fewer or no objects are prioritized for smart sticker placement. This local differentiation ensures optimal visual effects in regions where objects are absent, while preserving object details in regions where objects are present, achieving both aesthetic and informational goals.

Inventive Principle:
