Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If multiple mobile devices are used for holographic projection, then the coverage area and viewing angles are improved, but the coordination and seamless projection between devices deteriorate due to path determination limitations
Solution Approach 1:
The holographic projection path is segmented into multiple sections, with each mobile device responsible for projecting a specific section. The system divides the overall projection task among multiple devices, assigning each device a portion of the object path based on its location and capabilities, thereby enabling coordinated multi-device projection without gaps
Solution Approach 2:
A controlling device node acts as an intermediary to coordinate between multiple holographic projecting devices. This mediator calculates transition points between device projection ranges, determines optimal object paths, and manages the handoff of projection responsibilities between devices to ensure seamless continuity
2Reliability
If dedicated holographic systems are used, then the projection quality and stability are improved, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables ordinary mobile devices to perform holographic projection functions that were previously only available in dedicated holographic systems. By utilizing the existing cameras, processors, and displays of common mobile devices, the invention achieves holographic capability without requiring specialized hardware, thereby reducing system complexity and cost
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple mobile devices into a unified holographic projection system. By merging the computational resources, projection capabilities, and sensor data from multiple standard devices, the system achieves the performance of dedicated systems while maintaining the advantages of using commercially available technology
3Measurement precision
If multi-camera setups are used for holographic projection, then the 3D image quality is improved, but the repositioning requirements and setup complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the holographic object path and transition points based on the real-time locations and orientations of the mobile devices. Rather than requiring fixed camera positions, the system adapts to device movement and repositioning, automatically recalculating projection parameters to maintain 3D image quality without extensive manual setup
Solution Approach 2:
The controlling device node automatically determines optimal object paths and calculates transition points between devices without requiring manual configuration. The system self-adjusts to device locations and orientations, eliminating the need for extensive repositioning and complex setup procedures while maintaining high 3D image quality
