Solution Overview

Problem

Existing augmented reality (AR) technologies fail to provide individual AR content corresponding to specific business processes, leading to unnecessary display of irrelevant AR content and increased time lag and storage load, as they do not accurately differentiate between different business processes executed by multiple users in parallel.

Innovation Solution

A display control method that acquires and displays AR data specific to a recognized reference object, using image recognition to determine the appropriate AR content for each business process, reducing unnecessary content display and optimizing storage by managing AR content in increments of scenarios and steps, thereby enhancing user perception and reducing latency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If all AR content is provided for multiple business processes, then complete information coverage is achieved, but storage load and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation coverageVSAvoidstorage load
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments AR content into distinct groups corresponding to different business processes (first business process AR content and second business process AR content). This segmentation allows the system to store and process AR content in organized units, enabling selective provision based on the current business process context without loading all AR content into memory simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary classification of AR content according to business process types before execution. By pre-organizing AR content into process-specific groups and establishing the current business process context in advance, the system can quickly retrieve and display only the relevant AR content when needed, avoiding the need to process all AR content in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If all AR content is displayed simultaneously, then complete information is provided, but user attention is diluted and operational efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidoperational efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by displaying different AR content according to the specific business process context. Instead of uniform display of all AR content, the system tailors the displayed information to match the current operational context (first business process or second business process), ensuring that users receive precisely the information relevant to their current task without distraction from unrelated content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic AR content display that adapts to the current business process state. The system dynamically determines which business process is currently being executed and accordingly displays only the AR content relevant to that process, creating a flexible information delivery system that responds to changing operational contexts rather than presenting static, comprehensive information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Device complexity

If AR content provision is not differentiated by business process, then system complexity is reduced, but time lag increases due to processing unnecessary content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidtime lag
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the AR content provision system into process-specific modules, where AR content is organized into distinct groups for different business processes. This segmentation enables the system to quickly identify and retrieve the appropriate AR content group based on the current business process, avoiding the need to process and filter through all AR content, thereby reducing time lag while maintaining manageable system complexity through structured organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Device complexity

If AR content is managed without scenario and step increments, then management simplicity is maintained, but retrieval speed and precision decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanagement complexityVSAvoidretrieval speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments AR content into hierarchical groups based on business processes (scenarios) and individual steps within those processes. This segmentation creates a structured framework where AR content can be rapidly retrieved by first identifying the current business process context and then locating the specific step-level content, significantly improving retrieval speed and precision while maintaining manageable complexity through systematic organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
