Solution Overview

Problem

In information display systems providing AR-SNS services, there is a need to set limits on the publication of information to prevent inappropriate content, such as insults, from being viewed by unintended users, while allowing relevant content to be easily accessible.

Innovation Solution

An information display system that includes a head-mounted display device and an information apparatus, where user information is used to extract and transmit target information from a storage section, allowing for conditional publication and display of information based on user permissions, position, and display order, ensuring that only authorized users receive specific content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If all stored tags are transmitted to all users, then information accessibility is improved, but inappropriate content reaches unintended users causing discomfort or damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidinappropriate content impact
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by associating different extraction permission conditions with different tags. Each tag can have its own specific conditions (user authentication, location-based, time-based, or group-based), allowing appropriate content to be freely accessible while inappropriate content is restricted to specific users only, thus resolving the contradiction between information accessibility and preventing harmful content impact

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by establishing extraction permission conditions in advance for each tag before transmission. The server pre-configures which users can access which tags based on authentication, location, time, or group membership, ensuring that only authorized users receive specific content while maintaining easy accessibility for permitted users

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If user authentication and permission checking are implemented for each tag, then information security is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation securityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by using a unified extraction permission condition structure that can accommodate multiple types of restrictions (user authentication, location-based, time-based, group-based) within a single framework. This multi-functional approach ensures information security through comprehensive permission checking while avoiding the need for separate complex systems for each restriction type, thus resolving the contradiction between information security and system complexity

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

AI summary

In an information display system, an information apparatus includes a target information storage section that stores target information to be published by the information apparatus and an extraction section that extracts the target information from the target information storage section on the basis of user information that is information regarding a user of a head mounted display device, and the head mounted display device includes an information generating section that generates information for additional presentation for providing the augmented reality to the user using the target information acquired from the information apparatus and an image display section that enables the user to view the generated information for additional presentation as a virtual image.
