Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional augmented reality measurement methods are used, then measurement functionality is provided, but measurement time is excessive and energy consumption is high
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by providing visual prompts and dynamic positioning guides before the actual measurement occurs. The visual prompt displays a representation of the body part with transparency indicators showing the correct position in advance, allowing the user to adjust their positioning before the measurement is taken, thereby eliminating the need for repeated attempts and reducing overall measurement time
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements continuous feedback through dynamic positioning guides that update in real-time as the user moves. The transparency of the body part representation changes dynamically to indicate whether the user is in the correct position, providing immediate feedback that guides the user to the proper positioning without requiring multiple trial measurements
2Ease of operation
If conventional augmented reality measurement methods are used, then measurement is possible, but user interface complexity increases and ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs self-service mechanisms where the visual prompt automatically adjusts and provides guidance without requiring complex user inputs. The dynamic positioning guide and transparency indicators work autonomously to guide the user to the correct position, eliminating the need for complex manual positioning instructions or multiple configuration steps
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces complex mechanical positioning mechanisms with optical and visual fields. Instead of requiring physical guides or mechanical alignment tools, the invention uses a visual representation with transparency changes and dynamic positioning guides displayed through the augmented reality interface to indicate correct positioning, simplifying the user interaction to visual observation and natural movement
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional measurement storage methods are used, then measurements are stored, but data sharing between devices is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements universal data sharing capabilities that allow measurement information to be transferred across different device types and platforms. The measurement data is stored and managed in a format that enables seamless sharing between devices, providing multi-functional access to the same measurement information regardless of the specific device being used

AI summary
A computer system detects, using one or more cameras, a portion of a user's body that is in a field of view of the one or more cameras. The computer system scans the portion of the user's body that is in the field of view of the one or more cameras to determine a measurement of the portion of the user's body that is in the field of view of the one or more cameras. After scanning the portion of the user's body, the computer system displays a user interface that identifies one or more sizing parameters of a wearable object based on the measurement of the portion of the user's body or that describes the measurement of the portion of the user's body.
