Solution Overview

Problem

Augmented reality technologies face challenges in effectively transporting objects due to physical conditions of the object and its surroundings, lacking efficient methods to provide virtual renderings of optimal pathways and orientations for smooth transportation.

Innovation Solution

A processor receives physical parameter data and pathway data to determine a recommended pathway and orientation for object transportation, providing a virtual rendering of the recommended movement and orientation through a graphical interface or augmented reality space, considering factors like object dimensions, weight, and environmental obstructions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional transportation methods are used without virtual rendering assistance, then the operation process is simple, but the transportation efficiency is low and physical conditions are not optimized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransportation efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a virtual copy of the physical environment and object, allowing users to simulate and plan transportation pathways without physically moving the object. This virtual rendering system enables efficient pathway optimization while maintaining simple physical operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary virtual simulations and pathway analyses before actual transportation occurs. By determining recommended pathways and orientations in advance through virtual rendering, the system optimizes physical transportation operations without adding complexity to the execution phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If multiple pathway options are analyzed with detailed physical parameters, then the transportation safety is improved, but the computation time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransportation safetyVSAvoidcomputation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system analyzes multiple pathway options with varying levels of detail based on requirements. It performs comprehensive analysis only where necessary (partial action) rather than uniformly analyzing all pathways at maximum detail, thus balancing safety assessment with computation time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The virtual rendering system applies different levels of analysis depth to different regions of the pathway. Critical sections with physical constraints receive detailed analysis, while safe passages receive minimal analysis, optimizing the balance between safety verification and computation time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
