Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional list information display methods are used, then the display is simple and easy to implement, but the information acquisition efficiency and interactive experience are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation acquisition efficiencyVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple types of information (list information, real scene images, augmented reality elements) into a single integrated display interface. This combination allows users to access diverse information types simultaneously without switching between different displays or applications, thereby improving information acquisition efficiency while managing complexity through unified integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from traditional two-dimensional list displays to augmented reality that overlays information onto three-dimensional real-world scenes. This dimensional transformation enables users to perceive list information in spatial context, improving efficiency by allowing parallel processing of multiple information types across different spatial zones rather than sequential reading.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If only static list information is displayed, then the implementation is straightforward, but the visual effect and interactive experience are dull and limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay mode diversityVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic display modes that can switch between traditional list views, augmented reality overlays, and interactive 3D visualizations. The system adapts display characteristics based on user interaction, environmental context, and information type, providing versatility without requiring completely separate systems for each mode. This dynamic adaptability resolves the contradiction by allowing the same system to exhibit different complexity levels for different display needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal display system that can handle multiple types of content (text lists, images, videos, 3D models) and multiple display modes (traditional screen, augmented reality, interactive visualization) through a single integrated platform. This multi-functionality provides diverse display modes while avoiding the complexity of maintaining separate specialized systems for each function.

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

3Loss of information

If multiple types of information are loaded into real scene shooting image, then the information richness and visual effect improve, but the processing complexity and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments multiple types of information into distinct functional layers (base list information layer, augmented reality overlay layer, interactive elements layer, real scene background layer). Each layer can be independently processed, rendered, and optimized. This segmentation allows the system to handle information-rich displays by breaking down complex processing tasks into manageable segments, reducing overall processing complexity while maintaining information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A list information display method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium are provided, the method includes: displaying list information in response to an information display operation triggered by a user; obtaining a real scene shooting image; and loading a plurality of types of information related to the list information into the real scene shooting image and display the real scene shooting image. Due to the use of virtual enhanced display technology, while the list information is displayed in the real scene shooting image, the plurality of types of information related to the list information are also displayed. On one hand, the user can obtain more information related to the list information while obtaining the list information, which improves the efficiency of information acquisition; and on the other hand, the user can obtain information in the real scene shooting image, which improves the visual effect and interactive experience.
