Problem

Current augmented reality (AR) systems lack efficient content management solutions that enable live user interaction with virtual environments, real-time data analytics, and flexible content structures to accommodate diverse user interactions and updates within holographic MR environments, limiting their scalability and interactivity.

Innovation Solution

A content management system that structures AR content into independent stages, allowing real-time modification and user-generated content incorporation, using artificial intelligence and data analytics to provide dynamic, interactive experiences by integrating user interactions, real-life images, and analytics data, while maintaining access restrictions and efficient data processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If AR content is structured into independent stages for real-time modification, then adaptability and ease of operation are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent flexibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The AR content is divided into multiple independent stages, where each stage represents a discrete content unit that can be individually modified, added, or removed. This segmentation enables real-time content updates without affecting the entire AR experience, allowing flexible content management while maintaining system organization through clear stage boundaries and sequential structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If real-time data analytics are incorporated to modify AR content, then adaptability is improved, but computational resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time content adaptationVSAvoidcomputational resource usage
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs data analytics selectively on specific stages of AR content rather than processing the entire content set. This partial action approach allows the system to analyze and modify only the relevant content portions based on user interactions and contextual data, reducing overall computational overhead while maintaining real-time adaptability for personalized content delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Ease of operation

If user-generated content is integrated in real-time, then ease of operation and adaptability are improved, but system reliability may deteriorate due to unverified content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction capabilityVSAvoidcontent quality control
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system establishes predetermined content validation rules and filtering mechanisms before user-generated content is integrated into the AR experience. These preliminary actions include automated content type verification, format validation, and adherence checks against established guidelines, ensuring that user contributions meet quality standards while maintaining real-time interaction capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Reliability

If access restrictions are implemented for AR content, then reliability is improved, but ease of operation worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent access controlVSAvoidcontent accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The access control system implements a universal permission framework that automatically applies different access levels based on user profiles, content sensitivity, and contextual factors. This multi-functional approach consolidates multiple access control mechanisms into a single system that handles authentication, authorization, and content filtering uniformly across all AR stages, simplifying user interaction while maintaining security and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
