Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple components (display, projector, cameras, microphones, loudspeakers, sensors) are integrated into a single electronic device, then immersive and interactive experiences between remote users are enabled, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimmersive and interactive experiencesVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates multiple functional components (display, projector, cameras, microphones, loudspeakers, sensors) into a single electronic device to enable comprehensive audiovisual interaction and immersive experiences between remote users, directly resolving the technical contradiction by combining previously separate systems into one unified device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If real-time audiovisual interaction and feedback are implemented, then user interaction quality improves, but data transmission requirements and system resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time interaction qualityVSAvoidsystem resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements real-time feedback mechanisms where sensors detect user interactions, cameras capture visual data, microphones record audio, and this information is immediately transmitted to remote devices for processing and feedback delivery through loudspeakers and display, ensuring high-quality real-time interaction while optimizing resource usage through coordinated component operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A device includes a housing having a top, a bottom opposite the top, a front, and a back opposite the front. One or more microphones are oriented substantially towards the top. A first camera, a display, a loudspeaker, and an emitter are oriented substantially towards the front. A second camera, a projector, and a sensor are oriented substantially towards the bottom. The second camera and the sensor may include field of views that at least partially overlap with a projection area of the projector.
