Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a large volume of data is transmitted or complicated computation is performed to achieve high-quality virtual reality content, then the quality of virtual reality content is improved, but latency increases and immediacy requirement cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the quality parameters of virtual reality content based on real-time sensing signals. The host device modifies resolution, frame rate, and other quality metrics adaptively according to user movement state, allowing the system to optimize between quality and latency continuously rather than using fixed parameters
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes key parameters of virtual reality content transmission including resolution, frame rate, and data compression level based on sensing feedback. When user movement is detected, the system adjusts these parameters to reduce data volume and computation complexity, thereby reducing latency while maintaining acceptable quality
2Manufacturing precision
If the virtual reality content transmission is optimized for high quality, then the content quality is improved, but the content may not match the user's instant needs reducing user friendliness
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback loop where sensing signals from the user's head movements and physiological state are continuously monitored and fed back to the host device. This feedback enables the system to automatically adjust content transmission parameters to match the user's instant needs, making the system more responsive and user-friendly
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual reality system performs self-adjustment of content quality parameters based on sensing data without requiring manual user intervention. The system autonomously determines the appropriate level of content detail and transmission rate based on user state, providing a more intuitive and user-friendly experience
