Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If augmented reality technology is limited to specific space with specific devices, then device complexity is reduced, but geographical relevance and application scope are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegeographical relevanceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into a management platform for configuration and user terminals for execution. The management platform handles complex setup tasks including setting virtual placements, configuring identification images, and managing physical address information, while user terminals only need to perform simple scanning and display operations. This segmentation allows high geographical adaptability without requiring complex functionality in each individual device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If augmented reality information is static supplementary information only, then information processing complexity is reduced, but user interaction capability is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction capabilityVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The management platform serves as an intermediary that handles complex information processing, user authentication, and virtual object management. User terminals interact with this platform to obtain and display augmented reality information, enabling rich interaction capabilities while keeping individual terminal devices relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If augmented reality application is restricted to specific locations, then positioning accuracy requirements are reduced, but application scope is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication scopeVSAvoidpositioning accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses identification images as visual copies or markers that can be placed at any physical location. These identification images serve as location identifiers that work with positioning information to enable augmented reality display without requiring high-precision positioning systems. The identification images act as portable location references that can be recognized and processed to trigger appropriate virtual placements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
