Augmented Reality Workflow Transfer Between Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current techniques lack a method for efficiently duplicating or copying workflows from one machine or device to another, especially in networked and AI-integrated systems, where customization is often required for different device specifications.
Innovation Solution
An augmented reality-based system and method that allows users to copy workflows from one device to another using an AR headset, performing a comparative analysis to adapt the workflow for the target device and sending the updated workflow, enabling little to no customization during the transfer process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a workflow is copied from one device to another device, then the workflow can be reused on the target device, but the workflow may not be compatible with different device specifications requiring customization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a copy-paste mechanism for workflows between devices. The source device's workflow is copied and transferred to the target device, enabling rapid reuse without manual recreation. This directly addresses the productivity benefit while the system automatically handles compatibility issues.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs a comparative analysis of device specifications and automatically adjusts workflow parameters to match the target device's capabilities. This includes modifying device identifiers, connection parameters, and operational settings to ensure compatibility without requiring user customization.
2Adaptability or versatility
If device specifications are analyzed and workflow is adapted, then compatibility with target device is improved, but the transfer process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs a comparative analysis of device specifications before transferring the workflow. This preliminary action identifies compatibility requirements and prepares necessary adaptations in advance, ensuring smooth integration without complicating the user-facing transfer process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects device specifications, analyzes compatibility requirements, and adapts the workflow parameters without user intervention. This self-service approach handles the complexity internally while presenting a simple copy-paste interface to users.
3Reliability
If manual customization is required for workflow transfer, then compatibility can be achieved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs the customization that would otherwise require manual user input. It detects device differences, adjusts workflow parameters, and ensures compatibility without user intervention, eliminating time loss while maintaining reliability through systematic adaptation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically modifies workflow parameters to match target device specifications, including device identifiers, connection settings, and operational parameters. This automated parameter adjustment ensures reliable execution while eliminating the time required for manual customization.

AI summary
A computer command can be initiated, using an augmented reality (AR) device, for implementing an action between multiple devices. A first computer command can be executed, using an augmented reality device, with respect to a source device, and the first computer command can include copying a first workflow of the source device. A second computer command can be initiated, using the augmented reality device, to a target device. The second computer command can include sending the first workflow of the source device to the target device. A comparative analysis of specifications for the source device and the target device can be performed, respectively. An alteration of the first workflow can be detected and implemented, in response to the comparative analysis to generate an updated first workflow. Using the AR device, the updated first workflow can be sent to the target device.
