Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices struggle to effectively interwork to provide augmented reality services, particularly when a wearable device needs to integrate virtual objects with a user's real-space view, lacking efficient methods for communication and dynamic object display adjustments.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device, such as a mobile device, establishes a communication connection with a wearable device, transmits virtual object information, and adjusts display references based on user inputs and location, enabling dynamic virtual object integration and display changes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a wearable device displays virtual objects based on the user's field of view, then the augmented reality experience is enhanced, but the device complexity increases due to the need for communication connections and dynamic display adjustments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaugmented reality service capabilityVSAvoidcommunication and coordination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the augmented reality functionality into two separate devices: a first electronic device that generates and manages virtual object data, and a wearable device that displays virtual objects in the user's field of view. This segmentation allows each device to specialize in specific tasks, reducing the complexity burden on a single device while maintaining comprehensive AR capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A communication connection acts as an intermediary between the first electronic device and the wearable device, enabling data transmission and coordination. This intermediary mechanism facilitates seamless interaction without requiring complex direct integration between the devices, thus managing system complexity through standardized communication protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If virtual object information is transmitted in real-time based on device location, then the augmented reality accuracy is improved, but the loss of time increases due to continuous communication and processing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevirtual object positioning accuracyVSAvoidcommunication and processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The first electronic device determines the user's location and prepares virtual object information in advance before transmission to the wearable device. This preliminary action ensures that when virtual objects need to be displayed, the data is already processed and ready, reducing the time required for real-time communication and processing while maintaining positioning accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the wearable device provides information about the user's field of view and viewing conditions back to the first electronic device. This feedback loop allows the system to adjust virtual object display parameters dynamically, improving positioning accuracy through continuous refinement while optimizing communication efficiency by only transmitting necessary updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
