Solution Overview

Problem

Existing interaction methods in 3D display environments face challenges in balancing the completeness of the display screen with the precision of screen operations, leading to limited input accuracy and user fatigue due to the lack of physical plane support.

Innovation Solution

A data processing method and device that dynamically switch interaction modes based on target operation information, determining a first area from a first interface and transitioning it from a first interaction mode to a second mode to enhance compatibility with different interaction requirements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a fixed interaction mode is maintained for the entire interface, then the interface structure is simple and easy to implement, but the compatibility with different interaction requirements deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface structureVSAvoidcompatibility with different interaction requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic interaction mode switching where different areas of the interface can operate in different interaction modes (first interaction mode for completeness, second interaction mode for precision) based on user selection, making the interface adaptable to different interaction requirements while maintaining implementation feasibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent divides the interface into multiple selectable areas, each capable of operating in different interaction modes independently. This segmentation allows different parts of the interface to be optimized for different interaction requirements simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Area of stationary object

If the display screen maintains completeness, then the overall view is preserved, but the precision of screen operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay screen completenessVSAvoidscreen operation precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display screen into multiple selectable areas, allowing users to focus on specific regions for precise operations while maintaining the overall display completeness. The selected area can be highlighted or emphasized without losing the context of the entire screen

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different interaction mode qualities to different areas of the screen. The first interaction mode optimizes for overall display completeness, while the second interaction mode optimizes for precision in selected areas, allowing local optimization without sacrificing global properties

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Device complexity

If a single interaction mode is used, then the system is simple to implement, but the input accuracy deteriorates for different task types

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem implementationVSAvoidinput accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal interaction system that can function in multiple interaction modes within a single interface framework. The system maintains a unified structure but enables multi-functionality through mode switching, allowing it to adapt to different task types (object modeling, data analysis, etc.) while maintaining implementation simplicity

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