Solution Overview

Problem

Users face challenges in identifying and locating individuals with specific specialties for interactions, requiring extensive information gathering and navigation, which can be time-consuming and inefficient.

Innovation Solution

An augmented reality system comprising a central server, local server, and user device that overlays contextual information in real scenes, using biometric data to generate identification tokens for secure data transfer and facilitate matching and location determination of users with specific specialties.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional information gathering methods are used to identify and locate individuals with specific specialties, then complete information can be obtained, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveefficiency of user interactionVSAvoidtime for information gathering and navigation

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes and stores contextual information, location data, and user profiles in databases before interactions occur. When users need to interact, the system quickly retrieves pre-prepared information about individuals with specific specialties, their locations, and relevant contextual data, eliminating the need for real-time information gathering and significantly reducing interaction time

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual information gathering and navigation through physical or traditional digital interfaces with an augmented reality system that automatically displays relevant information about target individuals directly in the user's field of view. The AR device automatically tracks, identifies, and presents information about individuals with specific specialties, eliminating manual searching and navigation processes

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If comprehensive location and contextual information is provided to users, then users can make informed decisions, but network data communication overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccuracy of location determinationVSAvoidnetwork data communication overhead

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the information provision into local, context-specific data delivery. Rather than transmitting all possible information universally, the system sends only the specific location and contextual information relevant to each user's current AR field of view and interaction needs. This localized information delivery maintains high reliability for decision-making while minimizing unnecessary network data communication overhead

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments information delivery by transmitting location and contextual data in discrete, on-demand packets triggered by detection events (e.g., when a user points the AR device at someone). Instead of continuous or bulk data transmission, information is segmented into small, relevant units sent only when needed, reducing overall network overhead while maintaining reliable location determination

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation
