Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If augmented reality devices overlay static images on physical space, then the display provides basic visual information, but user interaction and decision-making capabilities are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms static augmented reality displays into dynamic interactive systems. The three-dimensional plot dynamically responds to user actions (touch, gesture, voice) by updating mathematical models, recalculating parameters, and redistributing visual elements. This dynamic interaction enables users to explore complex relationships and make decisions in real-time, directly addressing the limitation of static displays while managing system complexity through targeted interactivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where user actions on the augmented reality display immediately influence the displayed information. When users interact with the three-dimensional plot, the system receives input signals, processes them through mathematical models, and updates the visualization accordingly. This closed-loop feedback enhances user interaction capability by allowing real-time exploration and decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of information

If the system overlays detailed three-dimensional plots and real-time data, then decision-making capabilities are enhanced, but the display complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiddisplay complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from two-dimensional static images to three-dimensional interactive plots overlaid on augmented reality views. This dimensional enhancement allows the system to represent complex mathematical relationships and real-time data more effectively, reducing information loss while managing display complexity through spatial organization and interactive exploration capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The augmented reality display system serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides visual information display, enables interactive exploration, supports real-time data processing, and facilitates decision-making. By integrating these functions into a unified system, the patent reduces overall complexity compared to separate specialized systems while maintaining comprehensive information capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Productivity

If the system processes real-time data and updates three-dimensional plots dynamically, then the visualization becomes more responsive and useful, but the computational load and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing efficiencyVSAvoidcomputational energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements partial updates rather than complete recalculations when processing real-time data. When users interact with specific regions or when data changes occur, the system updates only the necessary portions of the three-dimensional plot and associated mathematical models, rather than processing the entire dataset from scratch. This selective processing approach maintains responsiveness and productivity while reducing overall computational energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
