Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If VR and AR technology is implemented in marketing and purchase application processes, then intuitive navigation and information dissemination capabilities are improved, but device complexity and implementation cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by enabling standard mobile devices and home-based computers to perform VR and AR marketing functions without requiring specialized equipment. The system uses existing camera, display, and processing capabilities of common devices to deliver augmented reality presentations, making the technology accessible to typical consumers while avoiding the need for dedicated VR/AR hardware
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying by creating virtual representations of products and services that can be overlaid onto the real world through AR presentations. Instead of requiring physical interaction with products or specialized VR equipment, the system copies product information, images, and interactive elements into a digital overlay that consumers can view and interact with using their existing mobile devices
2Reliability
If specialized equipment is used for VR and AR presentations, then presentation quality is improved, but accessibility to typical consumers deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system is designed to run on standard mobile devices and home-based computers that typical consumers already possess. By utilizing existing cameras, displays, and processors found in common smartphones and computers, the patent eliminates the need for specialized VR/AR equipment while maintaining presentation quality through software-based rendering and overlay technology
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from requiring specialized hardware to a software-based solution that operates in the digital dimension. By using screen-based AR presentations that overlay virtual information onto the real world view through existing device cameras and displays, the system achieves VR/AR functionality without dimensional hardware requirements
3Loss of information
If AR presentations are used for product information display, then information dissemination capability is improved, but data transmission requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-loading and caching product information, images, and overlay content on the user's device before the AR presentation is needed. This allows rich multimedia content to be displayed without requiring continuous high-bandwidth data transmission during the actual AR viewing experience
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by delivering customized AR content based on the user's specific location, device capabilities, and preferences. Instead of transmitting all possible product information to all users, the system selectively delivers relevant content locally to each user's device, reducing overall data transmission requirements
Data Source
AI summary
A system for scheduling a timed interchange protocol via an integrated augmented-reality presentation, includes a computing system having a processor, a memory device and a non-transitory storage device. The one or more processor executes computer-readable instructions. A network connection connects multiple user devices to the computing system, each of the multiple user devices having a known or determinable current location. Upon execution of the computer-readable instructions, the computing system performs steps including, for each user device of the multiple user devices, receiving interrogation resultant data identifying an accessible item (AI) in a transient position proximal to the current location of the user device; retrieving, from the at least one of a memory device and a non-transitory storage device, overlay content for display on the user device, the overlay content including information about the AI. The overlay content is sent for display on the user device.
