Solution Overview

Problem

In virtual scene-based game applications, the display effect of a two-dimensional figure of a virtual object is often poor because the user needs to manually set the two-dimensional profile image, which may not match the three-dimensional figure of the virtual object.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for automatically displaying a two-dimensional figure of a virtual object by rendering a two-dimensional image based on a corresponding three-dimensional figure model, and updating the image when a condition is met to ensure the two-dimensional figure matches the three-dimensional model.

1Manufacturing precision

If manual setting of two-dimensional profile image is used, then user can set the image, but the two-dimensional profile image does not match the three-dimensional figure of the virtual object

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematching accuracy between two-dimensional profile image and three-dimensional figureVSAvoidmanual operation requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically generates and updates the two-dimensional profile image by rendering the three-dimensional figure model without requiring manual user intervention. The rendering module automatically captures the three-dimensional figure from the specified angle and generates the corresponding two-dimensional profile image, ensuring consistency between the two representations while eliminating manual operation requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical operation of capturing and setting images with an automated rendering system. The rendering module uses computer graphics technology to automatically generate two-dimensional images from three-dimensional models, substituting manual user actions with automated computational processes that ensure precision matching

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

2Manufacturing precision

If automatic rendering is used, then the two-dimensional figure matches the three-dimensional figure, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematching accuracy between two-dimensional profile image and three-dimensional figureVSAvoidrendering system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The rendering module serves multiple functions: it stores the three-dimensional figure model, generates two-dimensional profile images from specified angles, and automatically updates images when the virtual object changes. This multi-functional design consolidates what would otherwise require separate systems into a single integrated module, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high matching accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-stores the three-dimensional figure model and pre-configures the rendering parameters including the default angle. When a two-dimensional profile image is needed, the system immediately renders from the pre-stored model without requiring real-time complex computations, thereby reducing the perceived system complexity during operation while maintaining precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
