Solution Overview

Problem

In the field of building design, the application of mixed reality (MR) is limited to recognizing reality spaces and placing small interior structures, leading to inefficiencies in verifying and managing the sizes of buildings, which consumes significant manpower and time.

Innovation Solution

A mixed reality service providing method and system that loads three-dimensional modeling data of a building, generates virtual images based on tracking information from terminals, and synthesizes them with reality images to display the building at actual size, allowing real-time editing and sharing of design information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

1Productivity

If three-dimensional modeling data is displayed at actual size in mixed reality, then building verification and management efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebuilding verification efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that handles the complex tasks of loading three-dimensional modeling data, generating virtual images, and managing tracking information. This mediator architecture allows the terminal to display buildings at actual size without bearing the full system complexity, as the server performs the computationally intensive processing and data management functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system is segmented into distinct functional modules: a terminal for displaying mixed reality images and capturing tracking information, and a server for loading three-dimensional modeling data and generating virtual images. This segmentation distributes system complexity across multiple components, allowing each to specialize in specific tasks while maintaining overall system efficiency for building verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of time

If manual verification of building sizes is performed, then system complexity is reduced, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime consumptionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical verification processes with an automated mixed reality system. The terminal captures tracking information and displays three-dimensional modeling data at actual size in the reality space, eliminating the need for manual measurement and verification. The server automatically generates virtual images based on tracking information, substituting human labor with automated computational processes that reduce time consumption despite increased system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Measurement precision

If three-dimensional modeling data is displayed at actual size, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebuilding size accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a virtual copy of the building using three-dimensional modeling data that is displayed at actual size in the reality space. This virtual copy accurately represents the building's dimensions and structure, allowing for precise measurement and verification. The server generates this accurate copy by processing tracking information and rendering virtual images that maintain proportional accuracy, achieving high measurement precision through digital replication rather than physical measurement tools.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
