Abstract
A method and system provide the ability to generate a transformable structure. Design inputs are received. The design inputs include a first design, a second design, and functional inputs (i.e., relating to visual elements) for the two designs. Different facets of the first design are analyzed. The first design is dissected into multiple blocks that can be assembled to create the first design. A new design is converged by analyzing the dissected first design and the functional inputs, wherein the new design represents a design where first design is convertible into the second design.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method for generating a transformable structure, comprising:
- (a) receiving, in a computer, design inputs, wherein the design inputs comprise:
- (1) a first design;
- (2) a second design;
- and
- (3) one or more functional inputs for the first design and/or the second design, wherein the one or more functional inputs relate to visual elements of the first design and/or the second design;
- (b) analyzing different facets of the first design;
- (c) dissecting the first design into multiple blocks that can be assembled to create the first design;
- and
- (d) converging a new design by analyzing the dissected first design and the functional inputs, wherein the new design represents a design wherein the first design is convertible into the second design.
A computer system for generating a transformable structure comprising:
- (a) a computer having a memory;
- (b) an application executing on the computer, wherein the application:
- (1) receives design inputs, wherein the design inputs comprise:
- (i) a first design;
- (ii) a second design;
- and
- (iii) one or more functional inputs for the first design and/or the second design, wherein the one or more functional inputs relate to visual elements of the first design and/or the second design;
- (2) analyzes different facets of the first design;
- (3) dissects the first design into multiple blocks that can be assembled to create the first design;
- and
- (4) converges a new design by analyzing the dissected first design and the functional inputs, wherein the new design represents a design wherein the first design is convertible into the second design.
