Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If augmented reality is applied to navigation system, then driving information can be displayed in virtual image form, but accuracy and diversity of information provided is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation display formVSAvoidinformation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by adjusting display parameters (color, size, position) of specific AR objects based on their semantic meaning and urgency. For example, speed limit information is displayed with different colors (green for normal, red for exceeded) and sizes based on remaining distance to enforcement points, providing localized optimization of information presentation while maintaining overall AR display functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements parameter changes by dynamically modifying display characteristics of AR objects based on multiple parameters including remaining distance to enforcement points, current speed vs. speed limit, and time to target. The processor adjusts color, size, and position parameters of display objects to convey different levels of urgency and information type, thereby improving both accuracy and diversity of information provision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple types of driving information are displayed simultaneously, then information diversity is improved, but sense of heterogeneity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation diversityVSAvoidvisual homogeneity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves visual heterogeneity by applying local quality principles to different information types. Each AR object is rendered with specific visual characteristics (color, size, position) tailored to its information category and urgency level, creating a unified visual language that accommodates diverse information types while maintaining overall compositional harmony and reducing sense of heterogeneity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Measurement precision

If display object parameters are adjusted based on multiple factors, then information accuracy and emphasis effect are maximized, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accuracyVSAvoiddisplay control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies merging by integrating multiple adjustment functions (color changes, size adjustments, position modifications) into a single AR object rendering process. The processor combines these display parameter adjustments with the existing AR navigation functionality, consolidating complex control operations into a unified system that manages all display object parameters through integrated processing rather than separate control mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
