Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple augmented or mediated reality environments are integrated and managed, then the functionality and user experience are enhanced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveintegration capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the complex task of managing multiple reality environments into separate interface modules, each responsible for specific environments (shared space, personal space). This segmentation allows independent management and reduces overall system complexity while maintaining integration capabilities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The interface assembly is designed with universal interface modules that can handle multiple types of reality environments (augmented reality, mediated reality, virtual reality) through a common architecture. This multi-functionality approach enables the system to manage diverse environments without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If access and interaction control between users is implemented, then the security and user experience are improved, but the ease of operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccess controlVSAvoidoperation simplicity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service access control where users automatically receive appropriate access rights based on their role and the environment type. Personal space users gain automatic access to their own environments, while shared space access is managed through predefined user profiles, reducing manual configuration overhead.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Access control rules and user permissions are pre-configured in the system before actual use. The interface modules are programmed with default access patterns for different environment types, allowing users to benefit from security controls without needing to manually set up complex permission structures.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action
