Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional simulation systems fail to dynamically reflect positional relationships between users and objects in virtual spaces, limiting the interactive and immersive experience in VR, AR, and MR applications.
Innovation Solution
A simulation system that acquires position information of users in real space and generates virtual space images, allowing for the dynamic change of character and object images based on positional relationships, game modes, and user interactions, using a processor to perform processes such as changing character types, roles, and game modes when specific conditions are met.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional simulation systems display static images in virtual space, then the system complexity is low, but the immersive experience and interactivity are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic character images that automatically change based on real-time positional relationships between users. The character image selection is no longer static but dynamically adjusts according to distance metrics and spatial configurations, enhancing immersion without requiring complex manual intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The simulation system automatically determines appropriate character images by calculating positional relationships between users and selecting images based on predefined criteria. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for manual image selection while maintaining system simplicity through automated decision-making algorithms
2Ease of operation
If the system changes character images based on positional relationships, then the interactivity is improved, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-establishes multiple character images and defines positional relationship criteria before simulation begins. This preliminary preparation allows the system to quickly select appropriate images during runtime by simply comparing current positions against predefined thresholds, reducing real-time processing complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes character image selection based on parameter changes in user positions and distances. By monitoring positional parameters and triggering image changes when thresholds are crossed, the system maintains high interactivity while using simple parameter-based decision logic rather than complex processing
3Measurement precision
If the system reflects real-time positional relationships, then the simulation accuracy is improved, but the computational load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements partial updates by changing character images only when positional relationships cross predefined thresholds, rather than continuously recalculating. This approach maintains simulation accuracy by reflecting meaningful positional changes while reducing computational load by avoiding unnecessary calculations
