Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If holographic video data is delivered to consumer devices, then holographic content presentation is enabled, but bandwidth constraints and computational requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the computationally intensive digital Fourier transformation process from consumer devices and performs it at the service provider. Only the transformed wave front data is transmitted to consumer devices, significantly reducing the bandwidth and computational resources required at the consumer end while still enabling holographic content presentation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If holographic video data is transmitted to consumer devices, then holographic images can be displayed, but device complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The service provider acts as an intermediary that performs the complex digital Fourier transformation of holographic video data before transmission. Consumer devices receive pre-processed wave front data that requires minimal local computation, effectively using the service provider as a computational mediator to reduce device complexity requirements.
3Adaptability or versatility
If holographic content is presented on display devices, then new consumer experiences are enabled, but integration challenges arise due to size limitations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses wave front transformation to encode holographic information in a compressed dimensional form that can be transmitted and displayed on conventional two-dimensional display devices. This dimensional transformation allows holographic content to be presented on standard display screens without requiring specialized large-area holographic displays.
