Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If media data is represented in traditional 2D interfaces, then the interface is simple and easy to implement, but the user experience lacks immersion and realism

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverealism of media representationVSAvoidcomplexity of VR space processing
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from traditional 2D media representation to 3D virtual reality space representation. Media data is mapped to spatial coordinates (x, y, z) in a VR environment, creating an immersive three-dimensional experience that preserves temporal information through the fourth dimension. This dimensional transformation resolves the contradiction by providing realistic immersive representation while using systematic coordinate mapping to manage the complexity.

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

2Loss of information

If spatial and temporal metadata are integrated into media representation, then the information completeness is improved, but the data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of media data representationVSAvoidcomplexity of metadata processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments media data into discrete spatial-temporal units represented by metadata sets. Each metadata set contains specific spatial coordinates (x, y, z) and temporal information, allowing the system to process and represent media data in manageable segments. This segmentation approach preserves complete spatial and temporal information while reducing processing complexity by handling data in structured, modular units rather than as a continuous stream.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If media data is mapped to multiple spatial locations in VR space, then the spatial accuracy is improved, but the computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespatial precision of media representationVSAvoidcomputational energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by mapping media data to specific spatial locations in VR space based on the characteristics of each media segment. Different portions of media data are represented at different spatial coordinates (x, y, z) according to their content and context. This approach achieves high spatial precision for each local segment while optimizing computational energy by only processing and rendering the specific spatial regions where media data is present, rather than uniformly processing the entire VR space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
