Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users without professional knowledge attempt to arrange wireless devices independently, then they can avoid expert assistance costs, but they cannot achieve optimal wireless signal coverage and arrangement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an augmented reality system as an intermediary tool between users and wireless device arrangement. The system includes a capturing apparatus that captures real environment images, a processor that generates three-dimensional virtual representations and simulates wireless signal coverage, and a display apparatus that shows the augmented reality results. This intermediary system provides non-expert users with expert-level visualization and guidance capabilities, allowing them to independently arrange wireless devices while achieving optimal signal coverage through the visual feedback provided by the augmented reality display.
2Measurement precision
If complex wireless signal survey tools and simulation application programs are used, then simulation capability is improved, but the tools become difficult for general users to use correctly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical survey tools and simulation software operations with an augmented reality system that uses optical capturing, computational processing, and visual display. Instead of requiring users to operate complex survey equipment or configure simulation parameters, the system captures the environment through a capturing apparatus, processes the data to generate three-dimensional virtual representations with simulated wireless signal coverage, and displays the results through a display apparatus. This substitution maintains high simulation accuracy while dramatically simplifying user interaction to basic capture and view operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the real wireless environment through three-dimensional virtual representations. The processor generates these virtual representations by capturing real environment images and simulating wireless signal coverage based on device positions and environmental characteristics. Users can visualize and adjust device arrangements in this virtual copy before implementing changes in the real world, maintaining measurement precision while simplifying operation through intuitive visual interaction rather than complex tool manipulation.
3Measurement precision
If users spend extensive time determining wireless system behavior at each position, then accurate assessment is achieved, but time consumption increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary simulation of wireless signal coverage by generating three-dimensional virtual representations that predict wireless system behavior at different positions before actual device deployment or movement. The processor simulates the wireless signal coverage based on virtual device positions and environmental characteristics, allowing users to assess wireless system behavior in advance. This preliminary action provides accurate assessment information without requiring users to physically test each position, significantly reducing time consumption while maintaining measurement precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates virtual copies of wireless system behavior through three-dimensional virtual representations. Instead of requiring users to physically measure or test wireless signal behavior at each position in the real environment, the system generates virtual representations that replicate and predict wireless system behavior. Users can assess signal coverage, identify interference areas, and determine optimal device positions by examining these virtual copies, achieving accurate assessment instantly without time-consuming physical measurements at each location.
