Solution Overview
Problem
Current augmented reality systems lack an integrated and dynamic solution for providing users with seamless, secure, and real-time access to critical information in enterprise contexts, particularly in managing resources and user permissions.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a computing device and a non-transitory computer-readable medium with programmed instructions that receives user interaction and application data, performs contour analysis using a convolutional neural network, and transmits augmented overlay information to an augmented reality system for displaying relevant graphical information, while ensuring authentication and permissions-based access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If augmented reality systems display detailed information overlays, then information accessibility is improved, but system complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments information display by creating separate overlay layers for different types of data (authentication credentials, permissions, application data). Each layer can be independently controlled and processed, reducing the complexity of managing all information simultaneously while maintaining comprehensive information accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary authentication and permission verification before displaying augmented reality overlays. By pre-processing security checks and user authorization, the system reduces real-time processing complexity during the actual AR display operation, allowing detailed information to be shown without overwhelming system resources during critical display moments.
2Reliability
If the system updates overlay information in real-time, then information freshness is improved, but processing load and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic updates of augmented reality overlays at controlled intervals rather than continuous real-time updates. The processor retrieves and displays updated information at specific refresh cycles, maintaining information freshness while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to continuous processing and display updates.
3Reliability
If the system implements authentication and permissions checking, then security is improved, but processing time and user interaction delay increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs authentication credential verification and permission checking in advance, before the user interacts with the augmented reality display. By pre-processing security validations and storing authorization results, the system ensures high security while minimizing processing delays during actual user interactions with the AR interface.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the system processes multiple data types simultaneously, then functionality is improved, but device complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments different data processing functions into separate modules: authentication credential processing, permission verification, application data retrieval, and augmented reality overlay generation. Each module handles specific data types independently, allowing the system to maintain high functionality and adaptability while reducing the complexity of simultaneous multi-data processing through modular architecture.
