Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If multiple transparent displays are combined to provide large-scale virtual-reality fusion information display services, then the display area and coverage are improved, but the device complexity and control difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidcontrol difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the large-scale display area into multiple independent transparent display units (first transparent display, second transparent display, etc.). Each display unit can be independently controlled and managed, reducing the overall control complexity while maintaining a large total display area. The segmentation allows each unit to handle specific portions of virtual objects or information independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple transparent display units are combined to form a unified large-scale display system. The processing device integrates the output of multiple displays to present coherent virtual-reality fusion information. This merging approach maintains the benefits of large display area while using centralized control to manage the complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of manufacture

If virtual objects are displayed at specific positions on transparent displays to match physical objects, then the information presentation intuitiveness is improved, but the measurement precision and positioning accuracy requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation presentation intuitivenessVSAvoidpositioning accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses sensing information capturing devices to continuously acquire real-time position information of users and target objects. This feedback is processed to dynamically adjust the position of virtual objects on transparent displays, ensuring they remain accurately aligned with physical objects despite user movement or environmental changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-establishes the spatial relationship and mapping between physical objects and their corresponding virtual object positions. By preparing the positioning framework in advance and using pre-calculated transformation relationships, the system reduces real-time computation requirements and maintains high positioning accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system accommodates multiple users with different positions and postures, then the user experience and adaptability are improved, but the computational complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides customized display content and positioning for each user based on their specific position, posture, and viewing angle. Each user receives locally optimized virtual object placement and information presentation, improving individual user experience while using selective processing to manage computational load.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A method, a processing device, and a system for information display are proposed, and the system include a first light transmissive display and a second light transmissive display disposed adjacent to each other. Multiple sensing information capturing devices capture position information and posture information of at least one user and capture position information of at least one target object. A processing device is configured to: determine a user number of the at least one user located in front of the first light transmissive display and the second light transmissive display; determine display position information of a virtual object associated with the user according to the user number, the position information and the posture information of the user, and the position information of the target object; and display the virtual object corresponding to the target object according to the display position information.
