Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If common injection points are used for inserting user avatars into virtual spaces, then the insertion process is simplified, but overcrowding and navigation issues occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the virtual space into multiple distinct insertion regions instead of using a single common injection point. Each region is defined by spatial parameters and occupancy thresholds, allowing avatars to be distributed across multiple locations simultaneously, thereby preventing overcrowding while maintaining systematic insertion processes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements location-specific insertion criteria where each insertion region has its own spatial and occupancy characteristics. The system evaluates local conditions at each potential insertion point and selects appropriate regions based on current occupancy levels and spatial availability, ensuring optimal distribution across different areas of the virtual space
2Ease of operation
If multiple insertion points are used to distribute avatars, then overcrowding is prevented, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic insertion system that continuously monitors occupancy levels and spatial conditions at multiple insertion regions. The system automatically adjusts which regions are available for insertion based on real-time conditions, using occupancy thresholds and spatial parameters to dynamically determine appropriate insertion locations without requiring manual configuration
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs self-similar geometric patterns that automatically generate appropriate insertion point distributions based on the virtual space geometry. The system uses mathematical algorithms to autonomously determine optimal insertion locations without requiring external intervention or complex manual setup, reducing operational complexity while maintaining effective avatar distribution

AI summary
A computer-implemented method for virtual space insertion is provided. The computer-implemented method includes receiving first and second user inputs from users regarding user information and regarding a virtual space targeted for entry by each of the users, respectively, obtaining spatial and occupancy information of the virtual space, determining insertion point requirements for the entry of each of the users into the virtual space from the first user inputs, generating a self-similar geometric insertion point pattern compatible with the insertion point requirements to a first threshold and with the spatial and occupancy information to a second threshold and mapping an insertion point for the entry of each of the users into the virtual space to the self-similar geometric insertion point pattern.
