Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple augmented reality spaces are integrated and managed, then user interaction and access control are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveintegration and management of multiple augmented reality spacesVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the augmented reality environment into distinct spatial zones (first augmented reality space and second augmented reality space) with different access control policies. Each zone can be independently managed with its own sensor signal requirements and effector signal permissions, allowing complex multi-space management to be broken down into manageable segments.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The digital eye glass apparatus acts as an intermediary device between users and multiple augmented reality spaces. It manages the complexity of interfacing with multiple spaces by providing a unified interface that handles sensor signal acquisition, spatial mapping, and effector signal distribution across different augmented reality zones automatically.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If sensor signals and effector signals are exchanged between multiple augmented reality spaces, then user engagement is enhanced, but processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveexchange of sensor and effector signalsVSAvoidprocessing power

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different processing qualities and signal exchange protocols to different augmented reality spaces based on their specific requirements. The first augmented reality space may use standard sensor signal processing while the second space employs enhanced processing for specific interactions, optimizing power usage by not applying maximum processing power uniformly across all spaces.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables selective signal exchange between augmented reality spaces based on user needs and context. Rather than continuously exchanging all sensor and effector signals between all spaces, the system activates signal exchange only when and where needed, reducing unnecessary processing while maintaining enhanced user engagement when required.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action
