Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic devices with lower specifications and capabilities, such as wearable devices and AR glasses, face challenges in efficiently processing and displaying high-quality avatars due to large data sizes and high rendering requirements, leading to prolonged transmission and loading times.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device identifies the specifications and capabilities of an external device and generates avatars optimized for that device, converting content to match the external device's capabilities, ensuring high-quality display and efficient transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If high-resolution avatars with large data sizes are generated, then avatar quality is improved, but transmission time and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavatar qualityVSAvoidtransmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically changes avatar parameters (resolution, geometry complexity, texture quality) based on the external device's capabilities. When transmitting to devices with lower specifications, the system automatically reduces these parameters to maintain acceptable quality while minimizing transmission time and data size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The avatar generation and transmission system is made dynamic by continuously assessing the target device's capabilities and adjusting the avatar configuration accordingly. This allows the system to optimize the balance between quality and transmission time for each specific device rather than using a fixed approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Manufacturing precision

If high-resolution avatars with large data sizes are generated, then avatar quality is improved, but processing capability requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavatar qualityVSAvoidprocessing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system adjusts avatar parameters such as mesh vertex count, texture resolution, and geometric complexity based on the processing capabilities of the target device. This ensures that high-quality avatars are generated for capable devices while simpler avatars are created for devices with limited processing power.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different quality levels to different parts of the avatar based on device capabilities. Critical features may maintain higher quality while less important areas are simplified, allowing optimization of processing requirements while preserving essential visual quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Manufacturing precision

If high-resolution avatars with large data sizes are generated, then avatar quality is improved, but loading time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavatar qualityVSAvoidloading time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes avatar data parameters (file size, compression level, detail level) based on the external device's storage and loading capabilities. This reduces loading time for devices with limited resources while maintaining acceptable visual quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system loads only the essential parts of the avatar first, allowing the device to display a usable version quickly, then progressively loads additional details as processing capacity becomes available. This provides partial action that delivers immediate value while continuing to improve quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
