Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If linkage functions are managed through traditional communication methods, then device connectivity is established, but user interaction efficiency and function discovery capability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an AR display as an intermediary between the user and the devices. The AR display visually presents linkage function information, device statuses, and interaction options in the user's field of view, enabling intuitive function discovery and efficient interaction without traditional menus or search interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The AR display utilizes visual cues including color changes to indicate device states, function availability, and interaction status. Different colors represent different operational modes or connection states, allowing users to quickly comprehend system status and discover available functions through visual perception rather than text-based interfaces.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple devices are connected for linkage functions, then functionality versatility is improved, but system complexity and management difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex system management into distinct visual components displayed through AR. Each device, linkage function, and interaction option is presented as a separate visual element in the AR space, allowing users to manage multiple devices independently while understanding their relationships, thereby reducing perceived system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from traditional 2D screen interfaces to 3D spatial AR display. Devices and functions are positioned in three-dimensional space, creating intuitive spatial relationships that simplify the management of multiple devices. Users can visually comprehend system architecture and interactions through spatial arrangement rather than hierarchical menus.
3Reliability
If near-field wireless communication is used for device connection, then connection security is improved, but communication range and flexibility are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic device discovery and connection establishment through AR visualization. The system continuously monitors and displays available devices within near-field range, allowing users to dynamically connect or disconnect devices as needed. The AR interface adapts to show only currently available devices, providing flexibility within the constraints of near-field communication.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing device includes a controller that controls display of a device necessary for executing a linkage function and controls execution of the linkage function when communication with the device is performed using near-field wireless communication. In a further modification of the invention, when near-field wireless communication is performed with all of devices necessary for executing the linkage function, the controller may cause all the devices to execute the linkage function.
