Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If existing media protocols are used to send user area of interest messages, then some interaction information can be transmitted, but the media information coverage content remains incomplete

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemedia information coverageVSAvoidinteraction information coverage
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal media indication information structure that can accommodate multiple types of interaction information (gaze, touch, movement, vibration) through a unified framework. The media indication information includes flexible fields that can represent different interaction types, making the system adaptable to various interaction scenarios while maintaining complete information coverage.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments media indication information into distinct components including media identifier, state type, state change type, state description, and state change description. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function while collectively providing complete interaction information coverage without loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If comprehensive media indication information is generated to cover all interaction types, then information integrity is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemedia information integrityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs dynamic field selection where only relevant media indication information fields are populated based on the specific interaction type occurring. For example, gaze interactions populate position and orientation fields, while touch interactions populate contact point and pressure fields. This dynamic approach maintains information integrity for the relevant interaction type while avoiding the complexity of always processing all possible fields.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter set based on interaction type by using different state type identifiers (gaze, touch, movement, vibration) that dictate which specific parameters are relevant. This parameter adaptation allows the system to maintain complete information coverage for the active interaction type without the overhead of processing all possible parameters simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
