Interactive Badge NVP Protocol for Line-of-Sight Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current digital badges lack interactivity between badges or devices, and they do not facilitate social media sharing or tracking of a virtual footprint for targeted content delivery. Additionally, there is no standard protocol for communicating approach permissions or further digital content interaction through line-of-sight displays.
Innovation Solution
The non-verbal line of sight electronic communication protocol (NVP) enables communication between digital badges and devices through a standardized set of symbols and colors displayed on an interactive badge. This protocol allows users to send and receive information, display permissions to approach, and exchange digital content instantly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If digital badges display static identity information, then the badge structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the badges lack interactivity and cannot facilitate digital content exchange between users
Solution Approach 1:
The badge is designed to perform multiple functions: displaying identity information, enabling wireless communication, facilitating digital content exchange, and providing line-of-sight visual cues. By integrating these diverse functions into a single device, the badge transitions from a static identity card to an interactive communication tool without requiring multiple separate devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines display elements, communication modules, and interaction components into a unified badge structure. The merging of these functional elements allows the badge to achieve interactivity while maintaining a compact form factor that can be worn or carried easily.
2Speed
If digital badges lack line-of-sight communication capability, then the device design is simpler, but users cannot instantly communicate approach permissions or digital content in real-time visual field
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical or verbal communication methods with wireless electronic communication. Users can instantly transmit approach permissions and digital content through the badge's communication module, eliminating the need for physical interaction or spoken language while operating within the line-of-sight visual field.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication protocol utilizes visible light parameters within the line-of-sight range to encode and transmit information. By modulating light properties (such as intensity or frequency) that are imperceptible to humans but detectable by the badge's sensors, the system achieves high-speed communication without interfering with normal visual perception.
3Adaptability or versatility
If digital badges do not track virtual footprint, then the system is simpler and requires less data processing, but targeted content delivery and social media sharing cannot be implemented
Solution Approach 1:
The badge continuously tracks and records interaction data (virtual footprint) including communication history, content exchange, and user behavior patterns. This feedback mechanism enables the system to analyze user preferences and deliver targeted content, while the recorded data can be shared with social media platforms to extend the interaction beyond the immediate communication context.
