Solution Overview

Problem

Existing augmented reality systems are hindered by the weight and volume of functional modules, which inconvenience users and reduce their experience due to the need for wearable components.

Innovation Solution

An augmented reality system comprising an aircraft with an augmented reality module, a tracking module, and an adjustment module that adjusts the aircraft's attitude to align the virtual image with the user's eyeball, using a camera and processing unit to track the eyeball's position and a polarizing unit to transmit the image, allowing for a more comfortable and immersive experience without the need for wearable modules.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If functional modules are integrated into wearable components for augmented reality, then augmented reality functionality is achieved, but user comfort and convenience deteriorate due to weight and volume

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaugmented reality functionalityVSAvoiduser comfort
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the augmented reality functional modules from wearable components and relocates them to a remote server. The terminal device only retains lightweight client components that communicate with the server, eliminating the need for users to carry heavy processing hardware while maintaining full AR functionality through networked computation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a remote server as an intermediary between the user's terminal device and the augmented reality processing workload. The server acts as a mediator that handles complex computations, image processing, and rendering tasks, allowing the user's device to remain lightweight while still accessing full AR capabilities through communication protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If functional modules are integrated into wearable components, then augmented reality functionality is achieved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaugmented reality functionalityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts complex functional modules including processing units, rendering engines, and data storage systems from the wearable device and relocates them to a remote server infrastructure. This extraction dramatically simplifies the terminal device's structure while preserving all necessary augmented reality functionalities through networked access to the server's computational resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Measurement precision

If the aircraft adjusts flying attitude to align virtual image with user's eyeball, then viewing clarity is improved, but control complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing clarityVSAvoidcontrol complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback control system where the tracking module continuously monitors the user's eyeball position and the adjustment module receives real-time feedback to modify the aircraft's flying attitude. This closed-loop feedback mechanism automatically maintains alignment between the virtual image and the user's line of sight, improving viewing clarity while automating the control process to manage complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs self-service mechanisms where the tracking and adjustment modules work autonomously to maintain proper alignment. The processing unit automatically calculates required attitude adjustments based on eyeball position data, and the adjustment module executes these adjustments without requiring manual intervention, thereby improving viewing clarity while minimizing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
