Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional display apparatus displays saved image information, then image information can be displayed, but the displayed information is fixed and cannot be associated with current real environment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassociation with real environmentVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a virtual human body image that copies and reproduces the user's physical features by capturing real-world body data through imaging devices and generating a corresponding virtual representation. This virtual copy can then be dynamically associated with the real environment, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an image processing apparatus as an intermediary between the user and the display system. This intermediary captures real-world images, processes them to generate virtual human body images, and integrates them with the display apparatus, enabling environmental association without requiring direct complex interactions between all system components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If traditional display apparatus displays saved image information, then images can be viewed, but user interaction is not enabled

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interactionVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The virtual human body image serves itself by automatically responding to user actions and environmental changes. The system captures user movements and gestures, processes them through image recognition algorithms, and generates corresponding virtual image responses, enabling interaction without requiring complex external control systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the virtual human body image responds to user inputs and environmental changes in real-time. The image processing apparatus continuously monitors user actions, generates appropriate virtual image responses, and displays them, creating an interactive loop that enhances ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If virtual human body image is generated and integrated with real environment, then immersive experience is provided, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic association capabilityVSAvoidimage processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the image processing task into distinct functional modules: image capture by imaging devices, feature extraction and recognition by the processor, virtual image generation, and integration with the real environment. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific processing tasks, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining dynamic association capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
