Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If AR objects are provided with static presentation attributes, then system complexity is reduced, but user engagement and interactivity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic modification of AR objects by transitioning from static presentation attributes to dynamic ones that can change based on trigger conditions. The system allows AR objects to be modified in real-time based on user interactions or environmental factors, making the AR experience adaptive and interactive while managing complexity through structured condition-program architectures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs preliminary action by pre-defining multiple presentation attributes and conditional modification programs before AR object deployment. Trigger conditions and corresponding modification programs are prepared in advance, allowing the system to respond dynamically to events without requiring complex real-time decision-making logic, thus balancing interactivity with system complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If AR objects remain unchanged, then system complexity is reduced, but user engagement deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables dynamic modification of AR objects by allowing presentation attributes to change based on trigger conditions. Multiple modification programs can be defined, each specifying different attribute changes (color, size, shape, etc.) that are applied when corresponding triggers are detected, creating adaptive AR experiences without overwhelming system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by modifying presentation attributes of AR objects such as color, size, shape, and other visual properties in response to trigger conditions. This allows the same AR object to display different parameters under different conditions, enhancing user engagement while maintaining manageable system complexity through structured parameter management.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conditional modification programs are added to AR objects, then interactivity improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the AR object system into distinct components: the base AR object, multiple presentation attributes, separate trigger conditions, and individual modification programs. This modular segmentation allows each component to be managed independently, enabling conditional modification capabilities while keeping overall system complexity manageable through organized structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements universality by creating a multi-functional AR object framework where a single AR object can respond to multiple different trigger conditions with various modification programs. The same object structure supports diverse interactions and environmental responses, enhancing adaptability without requiring separate systems for each function.

AI summary
A server machine modifies an augmented reality (AR) object in response to fulfillment of a condition. The machine provides, to a user device, object data that defines the AR object. The object data specifies a physical geolocation of the AR object, a presentation attribute of the AR object, a conditional modification program, and a trigger condition for execution of the conditional modification program. The object data causes the user device to present the AR object with a first appearance, located at the physical geolocation. The machine detects fulfillment of the trigger condition, and in response, the machine executes the conditional modification program. This modifies the object data by modifying the presentation attribute. The machine provides, to the user device, the modified object data, which causes the user device to present the AR object with a second appearance based on the modified presentation attribute.
