Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for evaluating projection content in enclosed environments are subjective and lack objective accuracy, relying heavily on user interviews and questionnaires, which are influenced by herd mentality and privacy concerns, and do not adequately consider user emotional responses.

Innovation Solution

Utilizing brain-computer interaction technology to analyze electroencephalogram (EEG) signals to objectively evaluate projection content by correlating EEG energy values with emotional valence, arousal, concentration, fatigue, motion sickness, and preference indices, calculating a projection content evaluation value through weighted accumulation of EEG energy values.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If interview or questionnaire methods are used for evaluation, then user feedback can be collected, but the results are greatly influenced by subjective factors and herd mentality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of data collectionVSAvoidevaluation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces subjective human evaluation methods (interviews and questionnaires) with objective physiological measurement systems. Specifically, it uses eye-tracking technology to measure actual visual attention and EEG technology to measure brain activity, replacing the mechanical system of human self-reporting with automated physiological sensing systems that provide objective, quantifiable data without being influenced by subjective factors or herd mentality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Device complexity

If subjective evaluation methods are used, then data collection is simple, but personal privacy protection concerns arise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of evaluation systemVSAvoidprivacy protection concerns
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces physiological measurement devices (eye-trackers and EEG sensors) as intermediaries between the user and the evaluation system. These devices objectively measure physiological responses without requiring users to disclose personal information or subjective opinions, thereby mediating the evaluation process in a way that maintains privacy while still gathering comprehensive evaluation data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Illumination intensity

If basic design elements are considered in projection content, then visual presentation can be enhanced, but comprehensive evaluation of user experience is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual presentation qualityVSAvoiduser emotional response information
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism that uses physiological measurement data to evaluate and optimize projection content. By continuously measuring users' visual attention (eye-tracking) and brain activity (EEG), the system provides feedback on how projection content affects user experience, enabling iterative optimization that goes beyond basic design elements to comprehensively address emotional and cognitive responses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
