Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If existing augmented reality solutions are used for industrial applications, then visual representation of equipment data is achieved, but device complexity and computational cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses simple 2D graphic representations (lines, circles, icons) that copy or represent sensor locations and vibrational data rather than creating complex 3D models. The virtual image contains graphical representations of sensor locations and animated visual indicators that mirror the physical sensor positions and vibrational characteristics, achieving effective data visualization through simplified graphical copies
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs lightweight, computationally inexpensive 2D graphical elements rather than resource-intensive 3D models. These simple graphical representations (lines, circles, icons) require minimal processing power and can be generated and updated in real-time without the heavy computational burden of complex virtual models
2Loss of information
If three-dimensional models and large databases are used in augmented reality systems, then comprehensive information representation is achieved, but manufacturing precision and implementation cost worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential information needed for vibrational analysis from the complex physical system. Instead of representing entire 3D equipment models with all their geometric details, the system extracts sensor locations, vibrational magnitudes, and frequency data, representing them through simplified 2D graphical elements that convey the critical diagnostic information without unnecessary complexity
3Ease of operation
If prior knowledge of programming and physical principles is required, then system functionality is achieved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs the complex tasks of data acquisition, processing, and visualization without requiring user intervention or specialized knowledge. The vibration sensors continuously monitor equipment, the processor automatically analyzes the signals, and the system generates appropriate visual representations and alerts, making the sophisticated vibrational analysis accessible to operators without expertise in programming or vibration physics

AI summary
The present invention relates to a method for generating an increased reality representation of vibrational deformations for a structure, using the location of at least two vibration sensor elements in the structure to generate a reference graphic virtual representation and vibration data from the sensor elements to animate the reference graphic virtual representation. The animated graphic virtual representation generated is superimposed on a captured image of the structure, generating a combined image that allows perceiving the vibrational deformations undergone by the structure.
