Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If traditional emoji-based interaction is used, then the implementation is simple, but the display effect is poor and interaction is simplistic

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoidinteraction diversity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the virtual object interaction into multiple independent components: virtual object display module, operation detection module, interactive content determination module, and interaction operation execution module. This allows the complex interaction system to be built from simpler modular components, maintaining ease of implementation while enabling diverse interaction types such as expression mixing and duetting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal virtual object interaction framework that can handle multiple types of interactions (expression mixing, duetting, and other interaction operations) through a single unified system. The interaction apparatus can process different operation types and generate corresponding interactive content, providing versatile interaction capabilities without requiring separate systems for each interaction type.

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

2Device complexity

If traditional emoji-based interaction is used, then the system complexity is low, but the display effect is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoiddisplay effect quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses virtual objects as digital copies or representations of users in the chat interface. Instead of traditional emoji that merely represent emotions, the virtual object copies user characteristics and can perform interactive operations, providing richer display effects while maintaining manageable system complexity through efficient digital representation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from two-dimensional static emoji to multi-dimensional interactive virtual objects that can perform operations and generate dynamic content. This dimensional enhancement allows the system to convey more information and provide better display effects without proportionally increasing system complexity, as the additional dimensions are managed through structured interaction protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Loss of information

If enhanced interaction operations are implemented, then the display effect improves, but the operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay effect qualityVSAvoidoperation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining multiple operation types (such as expression mixing and duetting) and their corresponding interactive content. When a user triggers an operation, the system already has the interaction framework prepared, reducing the perceived complexity for users while delivering enhanced display effects. The heavy lifting of interaction logic is done in advance by the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary interaction apparatus that mediates between simple user operations and complex interaction effects. The apparatus detects user operations, determines appropriate interactive content, and executes interaction operations automatically. This intermediary layer shields users from the underlying complexity while providing rich display effects, as the mediator handles the complex processing transparently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure are an interaction method and apparatus based on a virtual object, and a device, a storage medium and a product. The method comprises: in a session interface between a first user and a second user, displaying associated content of a second virtual object that is sent by the second user, wherein the second user is a user who has a preset association relationship with the first user, and the second virtual object is a virtual object that is pre-generated by the second user; in response to a preset operation, which is triggered by the first user on the basis of the associated content, determining interaction content corresponding to the preset operation; performing an interaction operation with the second virtual object on the basis of the interaction content, so as to obtain an interaction result; and displaying the interaction result in the session interface, which is between the first user and the second user.
