Solution Overview

Problem

Existing extended reality systems inadequately provide feedback on potential future states and fail to efficiently identify repetition behaviors leading to user errors, due to the high processing demands of large quantities of sensor data.

Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If large quantities of sensor data are processed to identify repetition behaviors and provide feedback on future states, then user safety and interaction quality are improved, but processing time and computational resources are excessively consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser safetyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the continuous sensor data stream into discrete event records with specific features (event type, timestamp, duration, intensity). This segmentation allows the system to process only relevant event characteristics rather than raw continuous data, reducing computational load while maintaining safety monitoring capability. The segmentation into repeat event records further divides data by frequency patterns, enabling targeted analysis of potentially harmful repetition behaviors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary processing by pre-defining event types and their associated features before actual safety analysis. By establishing event templates with predetermined characteristics (type, timestamp, duration, intensity) in advance, the system avoids complex real-time analysis of raw sensor data. This preliminary structuring enables faster processing during operation while maintaining comprehensive safety monitoring.

2Measurement precision

If detailed analysis of sensor data is performed to identify repetition behaviors, then accuracy in predicting future events is improved, but device complexity and computational demands increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent prediction accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by focusing analysis on specific event features (type, timestamp, duration, intensity) rather than processing all sensor data uniformly. Each event record is analyzed with targeted attention to its particular characteristics, allowing precise identification of repetition patterns without requiring complex global analysis of the entire data stream. This selective feature-based approach maintains prediction accuracy while reducing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms raw sensor data into standardized event records with specific parameters (event type, timestamp, duration, intensity). By changing the data representation from continuous sensor readings to discrete parameterized events, the system enables more efficient pattern recognition. The parameterization allows direct comparison of event characteristics to identify repetitions without complex computational algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential features needed for safety analysis from the complete sensor data stream. By taking out and isolating specific event characteristics (type, timestamp, duration, intensity) that are relevant to repetition pattern identification, the system avoids processing unnecessary data. This extraction approach enables real-time feedback generation with reduced computational resource requirements while maintaining high interaction quality.

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
