Solution Overview

Problem

Setting up and organizing virtual showrooms with 3D images is challenging due to the time-consuming process of converting multiple assets into required forms using CAD applications in both B2B and B2C environments.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for creating a dataset with 2D and 3D images of textile products and materials for virtual showrooms, including automatic generation of 3D images for displays on mannequins, hangers, and folded forms, with scripts generated for each folding step to streamline the process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If CAD applications are used to convert multiple assets into required forms for virtual showrooms, then manufacturing precision and display quality are improved, but productivity and time efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidtime efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses pre-defined 3D templates and models as copies of actual textile products. Instead of creating unique 3D models for each product using time-consuming CAD applications, the system places standardized templates onto virtual showroom surfaces, automatically adapting them to represent different textile products. This copying approach maintains display quality while dramatically reducing the time and effort required to set up virtual showrooms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs pre-configured 3D templates that have already been designed and optimized for various textile product displays. These templates are prepared in advance and stored in a library, allowing users to simply select and deploy them rather than creating models from scratch. This preliminary action eliminates the need for repetitive CAD work while ensuring consistent, high-quality visual presentations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual setup of virtual showrooms is performed, then adaptability to specific product requirements is improved, but ease of operation and time consumption worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct display flexibilityVSAvoidsetup complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic template system where pre-defined 3D templates can be automatically adjusted and configured based on the specific textile product being displayed. The system dynamically selects appropriate templates and modifies their parameters (such as scale, orientation, and material properties) to match the product characteristics, combining the efficiency of pre-defined models with the flexibility of customized displays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates universal 3D templates that can serve multiple functions and adapt to different textile product types. A single template library can accommodate various fabric products (curtains, upholstery, apparel) by adjusting parameters rather than requiring separate models for each product category. This universality maintains adaptability while simplifying the operation process.

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