Augmented Reality Lock Audit Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current lock audit systems require manual intervention and are time-consuming, as technicians need to manually read and analyze lock audits to understand the status of each component, with no efficient solution to present audits in an easy-to-understand format.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilize augmented reality to generate images showing the status of lock components, where audits are received and analyzed by a second device to create an augmented reality image exhibiting the status, including pre-generated images for each component, highlighting issues and providing solutions for failure states, and eliminating the need for manual analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If manual reading and analysis of lock audits is performed, then the status of lock components can be understood, but it requires a lot of time and manual effort
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of reading and analyzing lock audits with an automated optical system using augmented reality. The AR device displays visual representations of lock components and their status, eliminating the need for manual intervention and significantly reducing analysis time while maintaining complete information understanding.
2Ease of operation
If existing lock audit mechanisms are used, then lock audits can be retrieved offline, but the process requires manual intervention and is complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a visual copy or representation of the lock component status through augmented reality imagery. Instead of requiring users to retrieve and manually interpret raw audit data, the system generates visual replicas of component states that can be directly observed, simplifying the operation while reducing the complexity of the underlying data processing system.
Solution Approach 2:
The augmented reality device acts as an intermediary between the lock audit data and the user. It translates complex audit information into intuitive visual representations, eliminating the need for users to directly interact with complex data structures and reducing the operational complexity of the audit mechanism.
3Loss of information
If manual reading of lock audits is performed, then component status can be understood, but it requires a lot of manual effort
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual cognitive effort in reading and analyzing audit text with automated visual processing through augmented reality. The system automatically processes audit data and presents it as visual information, eliminating manual effort while preserving complete understanding of component status.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses visual indicators such as color changes to represent different component statuses in the augmented reality display. This allows users to understand component status at a glance without manual analysis, reducing effort while maintaining complete information understanding through intuitive visual cues.
