Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If physical interaction with electronic devices is used for augmented reality or virtual reality, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates because users cannot intuitively interact with three-dimensional image information using objects or hands

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveintuitive interaction with three-dimensional image informationVSAvoidrequirement for augmented reality electronic devices

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a three-dimensional image display device as an intermediary between the electronic device and the user's hands/objects. This device displays virtual images in three-dimensional space, allowing users to interact with the images using their hands or objects without needing to wear complex augmented reality equipment. The intermediary translates electronic device output into a form that enables natural, intuitive interaction.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a copy of the interaction experience by projecting virtual three-dimensional images into physical space. Instead of requiring users to interact with physical electronic device interfaces, the system copies the essential interaction elements into a virtual three-dimensional environment that can be manipulated with hands and objects, maintaining the simplicity of physical interaction while enabling intuitive control.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

2Ease of operation

If augmented reality electronic devices are required for interaction, then measurement precision of object coordinates is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to the need to wear various types of devices

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinteraction without wearing devicesVSAvoidobject three-dimensional coordinate values

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The three-dimensional image display device serves as an intermediary that receives precise coordinate data from sensors and renders it as visible virtual images in space. This allows the system to maintain high measurement precision for tracking objects and hands while eliminating the need for users to wear complex augmented reality devices with multiple sensors and processors.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of wearable augmented reality devices with a combination of sensor-based detection and visual display. Instead of using mechanical headsets and glasses to overlay digital information, the system uses sensors to detect object coordinates and a three-dimensional display to present the information visually, achieving the same functional result with a less intrusive mechanism.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Measurement precision

If sensor detection is used to detect object coordinates, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional sensor and controller components

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveobject three-dimensional coordinate valuesVSAvoidsensor and controller components

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The controller in the patent performs multiple functions: it processes sensor data to determine object coordinates, calculates the positions of virtual images based on those coordinates, and controls the three-dimensional image display device. By consolidating these functions into a single controller, the system achieves high measurement precision without proportionally increasing device complexity, as the same hardware component handles multiple tasks.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

An interactive system is provided. The interactive system includes an electronic device, a first image display device and a second image display device. The electronic device transmits a first image information to the first image display device for display. The electronic device transmits a second image information to the second image display device for display. Through the second image display device, a three-dimensional second image information is displayed in a space on one side of the second image display device. The three-dimensional second image information at least interacts with an object.
