Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices lack efficient methods for displaying and controlling virtual objects in augmented reality environments, particularly in real-time interactions with external devices.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device equipped with a communication module, camera module, display module, and processor, capable of establishing communication with external devices, displaying virtual objects, changing object information based on user input, and transmitting/receiving updated object information for real-time interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If virtual objects are displayed in augmented reality environment, then user interaction capability is improved, but real-time control responsiveness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction capabilityVSAvoidcontrol responsiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments control operations into local processing (object manipulation, information modification) and remote synchronization (transmitting changes to external devices). This allows the electronic device to immediately respond to user inputs while asynchronously syncing with external devices, eliminating the need to wait for round-trip communication for every interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The electronic device performs preliminary processing of object information changes before transmitting to external devices. It modifies virtual object properties locally and only transmits necessary change data, rather than waiting for external device confirmation before allowing user interactions to proceed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If object information is transmitted to external device for modification, then functionality is improved, but communication overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidcommunication overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and transmits only the modified object information parameters to external devices, rather than transmitting complete object data or all possible parameters. This selective transmission reduces communication overhead while maintaining full functionality for object manipulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The electronic device creates and transmits copies of modified object information to external devices, allowing the external device to synchronize its virtual object state without requiring the original device to continuously manage all object parameters. This copying mechanism enables distributed object management with reduced communication needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
