Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If a person uses a search engine on an electronic device to access electronic information, then information can be obtained, but timely and convenient access is inhibited by location, stress state, access to electronic device, current surroundings, and other contextual factors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an augmented reality system with sensors and holographic display as an intermediary between the user and information. The system detects contextual factors (location, stress, surroundings) and delivers information through holographic projections in the user's field of view, eliminating the need to physically interact with electronic devices and enabling hands-free, context-aware information delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical interaction required by traditional electronic devices (typing, clicking, scrolling) with sensor-based detection and holographic display. The system uses sensors to detect user state and context, then presents information through light-based holographic projections, substituting mechanical operations with optical and sensing mechanisms.
2Reliability
If a person experiences stress and continues to attempt task completion without assistance, then the person may persist in the task, but clear thinking is inhibited and task management becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback loop where sensors continuously monitor user biometric parameters (stress indicators) and contextual factors. When stress is detected, the system automatically provides help content through the holographic display, creating a closed-loop system that adapts to user state and reduces cognitive load at critical moments.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides self-service by automatically detecting when a user needs help through sensor monitoring and autonomously delivering relevant information. The user does not need to manually search or request assistance; the system independently identifies stress states and provides contextual help, reducing the burden on the user.
3Adaptability or versatility
If help content is provided through traditional electronic devices, then information can be delivered, but the person may face impractical or impossible access given their current context
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a dynamic system that continuously adapts to changing user context. Sensors monitor real-time biometric parameters, location, and surroundings, allowing the system to adjust help content delivery based on current conditions. The holographic display dynamically adjusts information presentation based on user stress levels and contextual factors, enabling versatile adaptation to various situations.
Solution Approach 2:
The augmented reality system serves multiple functions: it detects user stress, monitors location, analyzes surroundings, determines user needs, and delivers help content through holographic projection. This multi-functional system replaces multiple separate devices and processes, providing universal adaptability across different contexts and user states.

AI summary
A system and related methods for an augmented reality help system in a head-mounted display device are provided. In one example, the head-mounted display device includes a plurality of sensors and a display system for presenting holographic objects. An augmented reality help program is configured to receive one or more user biometric parameters from the plurality of sensors. Based on the user biometric parameters, the program determines that the user is experiencing a stress response, and presents help content to the user via the head-mounted display device.
