Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods fail to provide a seamless integration of three-dimensional object representation and interaction, leading to errors in object selection and understanding due to limited two-dimensional views.
Innovation Solution
A system utilizing a communication device with a screen and encoding, connected to a computer via data exchange, recognizes encoding on a display medium to retrieve and represent objects three-dimensionally, allowing spatial orientation and interaction through rotation and virtual operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If two-dimensional representation is used on display medium, then ease of manufacture and simplicity are improved, but object understanding accuracy and spatial visualization are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent overlays a two-dimensional representation with a three-dimensional spatial model at a specific location on the display medium. When a user interacts with the 2D representation (e.g., hovering over a component), a 3D model of that component is generated and displayed at the overlay location, enabling spatial visualization without leaving the 2D interface. This resolves the contradiction by providing both 2D simplicity and 3D accuracy simultaneously.
2Measurement precision
If three-dimensional representation is provided without overlay integration, then object understanding accuracy is improved, but device complexity and integration difficulty are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the 2D representation and 3D spatial model into a single integrated display interface using overlay technology. The 3D model is positioned at specific coordinates on the 2D display, creating a unified interface where both representations coexist and interact. This integration approach provides accurate 3D visualization while maintaining relatively simple system architecture compared to separate 3D display systems.
3Measurement precision
If spatial representation is positioned above display medium, then spatial visualization and object understanding are improved, but interaction complexity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the overlay location on the display medium as an intermediary between the user and the 3D spatial model. User interactions (such as hovering, clicking, or gesturing) with the 2D representation trigger the display or manipulation of the 3D model at the overlay position. This intermediary approach maintains intuitive 2D interaction patterns while enabling access to 3D visualization, avoiding the need for complex direct 3D manipulation interfaces.
