Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices lack the ability to dynamically display avatars in a virtual space that accurately reflect the position and movement of external objects, such as users, using sensor data to enhance user interaction and simulation.

Innovation Solution

The electronic device employs a camera module and sensor module to detect changes in the position of external objects, generating avatars that adapt to these changes by adjusting their position, viewpoint, and applying animation schemes, utilizing an avatar database to store and render these avatars on a display device.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If avatars are displayed in a fixed position without real-time updates, then the display system is simple and stable, but the avatar cannot reflect the real-time position and movement of external objects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavatar position adaptationVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic avatar positioning by continuously updating avatar coordinates based on real-time external object position data from sensors. The display system transitions from static to dynamic operation, where avatar position is automatically adjusted according to detected movements, enabling the avatar to reflect real-time spatial relationships without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs sensor feedback loops that continuously monitor external object positions and feed this information back to the display system. This feedback mechanism enables automatic avatar position adjustment, where the display system receives real-time position data and autonomously updates avatar coordinates to maintain accurate spatial representation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If the avatar viewpoint is fixed, then the display system is simple to implement, but the user cannot perceive accurate spatial relationships and movement of external objects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespatial relationship accuracyVSAvoidviewpoint control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic viewpoint adjustment where the camera angle and viewing perspective are continuously modified based on external object position changes. The system calculates appropriate viewpoint parameters and updates display rendering accordingly, enabling accurate perception of spatial relationships and movement while maintaining system manageability through automated control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If avatars do not respond to external object movement, then the system is stable and simple, but user interaction and simulation effectiveness are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavatar animation responseVSAvoidavatar automation level
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback-driven avatar animation where sensor-detected external object movements trigger corresponding avatar responses. The avatar system receives position change data and automatically adjusts its pose, orientation, and behavior to match external object actions, creating an interactive and responsive simulation without requiring complex manual control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The avatar system performs self-adjustment based on input sensor data, automatically generating appropriate animations and position changes without external intervention. The system uses built-in processing capabilities to interpret sensor information and autonomously update avatar state, reducing the need for complex external control mechanisms while maintaining high adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
