Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current network analyzers provide only a two-dimensional view of critical monitored network data, limiting understanding and interaction with the data.
Innovation Solution
The integration of augmented reality/virtual reality technology to overlay network data on physical space and devices, creating a four-dimensional experience that allows users to visualize and interact with network data in real-time, including spatial and temporal aspects, using holograms to enhance situational awareness and facilitate command execution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If network data is presented on a two-dimensional screen, then the device complexity is low and ease of operation is maintained, but the understanding and interaction with the data is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional two-dimensional screen display to three-dimensional holographic visualization, adding spatial depth as a new dimension. This allows network data to be displayed in immersive 3D space, enabling users to perceive data relationships and network topology more intuitively through spatial positioning and depth cues that are impossible in flat 2D interfaces.
2Loss of information
If holographic visualization is implemented, then understanding and interaction with network data is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an augmented reality device as an intermediary between the network analyzer and the user. This mediator captures network data, processes it through the existing analyzer, and presents it in enhanced holographic form, thereby improving information comprehension without requiring complete system redesign. The intermediary handles the complexity of holographic rendering while leveraging existing network analysis capabilities.
3Loss of information
If all captured network data is visualized, then complete information is provided, but the data volume and transmission speed become unmanageable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies selective visualization by assigning different visualization qualities and levels of detail to different types of network data based on their importance and characteristics. Critical security threats and performance issues receive prominent holographic display with high detail, while routine traffic data is displayed with lower fidelity or aggregated representations. This local differentiation optimizes both information completeness and processing efficiency.
Data Source
AI summary
A method, system and computer program product for overlaying network data on a physical space and/or network devices. Rules are applied to network data that was captured from a network device. Such rules are used to select which network data from the captured network data is to be visualized by a user. The selected network data is then enhanced with additional information (e.g., geographical location). The speed of the transmission and/or volume of the enhanced network data are adapted according to human brain frame rate and user preferences to generate processed network data. Holograms of the processed network data are created for visualization at an augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) device. The AR/VR device overlays the holograms on top of the physical space encompassing the network device and/or the network device.
