Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a standalone device is used to forward and process video signals in real-time, then real-time augmentation capability is improved, but functionality is limited to specific use cases and user control is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The processing device is designed with a universal architecture that can handle multiple data types (video streams, images, text, numerical data) from various sources (data sources, external devices) and perform diverse operations (retrieving, generating, overlaying, merging). This multi-functional design allows the same device to adapt to different use cases including medical imaging, industrial monitoring, and general data visualization without requiring dedicated hardware for each application.
2Loss of information
If dedicated software is required at the computing device to retrieve data from various data sources, then data communication capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the data communication and retrieval functionality from the host computing device and consolidates it into the standalone processing device. The processing device includes dedicated communication interfaces and processing circuitry that can independently connect to data sources, retrieve required data, and process it without burdening the host system with additional software complexity. This separation allows the host device to remain simple while the processing device handles all data acquisition tasks.
3Extent of automation
If the processing device determines augmentation data and positions by analyzing informational content, then automation level is improved, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The processing device performs preliminary analysis of the informational content of input data to automatically determine what augmentation data is needed and where it should be positioned. By analyzing the semantic content, context, and structure of the incoming data streams, the device pre-determines augmentation requirements before the actual augmentation process begins. This preliminary action enables high automation while managing complexity through structured analysis protocols.
