Commodity experiencing apparatus, system and method
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Online shopping lacks the ability to provide virtual experiences of commodities, making it difficult for users to visualize products before purchase, leading to potential mismatches between ordered and received items.
Innovation Solution
A commodity experience device and system that combines an electronic display device with a commodity show shelf, featuring a QR code scanner, VR glasses, and real-time communication tools, allowing users to scan product identifiers for purchase links and virtual reality displays, and interact with customer service for assistance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If online shopping is used for convenience and price, then shopping efficiency is improved, but the ability to experience commodities is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses VR glasses to create a virtual copy of the physical commodity display shelf, allowing users to experience commodities remotely through virtual reality. The scanning device captures commodity information and transmits it to the VR system, creating an immersive virtual shopping environment that replicates the in-store experience without requiring physical presence.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a VR experience system as an intermediary between the user and the physical commodity shelf. This intermediary system includes a scanning device that captures commodity data, a processing system that creates virtual representations, and VR glasses that deliver the immersive experience, thereby bridging the gap between online convenience and physical experience.
2Loss of information
If physical commodity display shelves are used for product showcase, then commodity visibility is improved, but space occupation and device complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a multi-functional system where the VR experience device serves multiple purposes: it acts as a commodity display shelf, a virtual reality theater, a scanning device, and a communication hub. This universal device replaces traditional physical shelves and multiple separate systems, reducing overall complexity while maintaining or enhancing commodity visibility and accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical physical display shelf system with a digital VR-based system. Instead of requiring physical space for shelves and products, the system uses electronic displays and virtual reality to present commodities, substituting mechanical structures with software-based solutions that occupy minimal physical space.
3Loss of information
If VR glasses are added to provide virtual experience, then commodity visualization is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the VR glasses with the commodity display shelf into an integrated system. The scanning device, processing unit, and VR headsets are combined with the physical shelf structure, creating a unified commodity experience apparatus. This integration reduces the need for separate devices and simplifies the overall system architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service functionality where the system automatically scans commodities, processes the information, and generates virtual reality experiences without requiring manual intervention. The scanning device autonomously captures commodity data, the processing system automatically creates virtual representations, and the VR glasses automatically deliver the experience, reducing operational complexity.
