Solution Overview

Problem

Current Augmented Reality (AR) technologies face challenges in meeting high bandwidth and low latency requirements, and raise privacy concerns, limiting their widespread adoption due to the lack of suitable Internet Protocols and unrestricted data processing.

Innovation Solution

An AR framework that identifies markers to impose restrictions on skin execution, such as preventing remote processing, requiring execution on a trusted edge device, or restricting facial recognition, allowing users to control their privacy settings and ensure secure data handling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If AR framework processes frames in external devices, then processing capability is improved, but bandwidth consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing capabilityVSAvoidbandwidth consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the AR processing framework into multiple executable components (skins) that can be selectively deployed to different execution environments. Some skins execute locally on the AR device while others execute remotely on external devices, allowing the system to divide processing tasks based on bandwidth availability and privacy requirements rather than requiring all processing to occur externally.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic execution environment selection where the AR framework can adaptively choose between local and remote execution based on current conditions. The framework dynamically determines which skins to execute locally versus remotely, allowing it to optimize bandwidth consumption while maintaining processing capability according to real-time network conditions and privacy settings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Power

If AR framework executes skins remotely, then processing power is improved, but privacy control deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing powerVSAvoidprivacy risk
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by allowing different privacy policies to be associated with different execution environments. Users can specify that certain skins must execute locally on the AR device while others may execute remotely, creating location-specific privacy controls. This enables sensitive processing to remain local while less sensitive processing can occur remotely, optimizing both privacy and processing power.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer (the AR framework itself) that mediates between the user's privacy requirements and the remote processing capability. The framework acts as a trusted intermediary that enforces privacy policies, controls which data leaves the device, and manages skin execution environments, thereby enabling remote processing while maintaining user privacy control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If AR framework allows unrestricted skin execution, then functionality is improved, but security control worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidsecurity control
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic skin execution control where the AR framework can adaptively enable or disable skin execution based on contextual factors. The framework dynamically determines which skins are appropriate to execute in which environments based on privacy settings, security policies, and user preferences, allowing full functionality when conditions permit while maintaining security control when conditions require restriction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the AR framework monitors execution conditions and adjusts skin execution accordingly. The system receives feedback about network conditions, privacy settings, and security policies, then uses this feedback to dynamically control which skins execute and where, balancing functionality with security control through continuous adaptation rather than static restrictions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
