Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate management mechanisms are used for real and virtual environmental information, then each mechanism can be optimized for its specific environment, but unified management and interaction between different environments cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges separate management mechanisms for real and virtual environmental information into a unified environment management system. The system uses a standardized environmental information structure that can represent both real-world sensors data and virtual scene data uniformly, enabling centralized management and interaction across AR, VR, and MR environments without requiring separate handling mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The environmental information management system is designed with universal capabilities to handle multiple types of environments (real, virtual, mixed) and multiple functions (acquisition, management, distribution, interaction) through a single unified framework. The standardized information structure and management interface allow the same system to serve diverse XR environments without specialization.
2Ease of operation
If applications are designed for single environments only, then development complexity is reduced, but seamless switching between AR, VR and XR environments cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables applications to be environment-agnostic by providing a unified environmental information interface that works across AR, VR, and MR contexts. Applications interact with environmental information through standardized APIs that abstract away the underlying environment type, allowing the same application to function seamlessly in any XR environment without requiring environment-specific versions or complex switching logic.
3Adaptability or versatility
If unified format definition is performed on environmental information, then seamless switching between environments is enabled, but information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by transforming diverse environmental information from different sources (real sensors, virtual scenes) into a unified format with standardized parameters and structure. This format transformation enables consistent processing and seamless environment switching while the system manages the processing complexity through automated conversion and standardized data representation.
4Adaptability or versatility
If environmental information is distributed to multiple applications, then interaction between applications and scenes is enabled, but information security and privacy protection become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an environment management system as an intermediary between environmental information sources and multiple applications. This intermediary layer controls information distribution, manages permissions, and protects privacy by filtering and regulating what information is shared with which applications, thereby enabling broad interaction while maintaining security and confidentiality.
