Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional two-dimensional EAM software is used for energy and asset management, then the system structure is simple and easy to implement, but the information presentation is not intuitive and it is difficult to quickly locate faulty electrical devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional software interfaces to three-dimensional holographic visualizations. Electrical devices, their operational states, and maintenance information are rendered as 3D holograms that can be viewed from multiple angles, providing intuitive spatial understanding of factory equipment layouts and fault locations without increasing operational complexity
2Loss of information
If holographic visualization is implemented to improve information presentation, then the intuitiveness and ease of operation are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates virtual holographic copies of physical electrical devices, maintaining all operational parameters, health states, and maintenance records in the digital twin. These copies are displayed in 3D space with complete information including real-time sensor data, historical maintenance records, and predictive analytics, allowing full information access without physical complexity
3Ease of operation
If interactive operations are enabled on holographic images, then the ease of operation and user engagement are improved, but the system complexity and potential for operational errors are increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements real-time feedback mechanisms where user interactions with holographic representations are immediately reflected in both the virtual and physical systems. When maintenance personnel interact with holographic electrical devices to perform operations, the system provides immediate visual feedback confirming the action, and the actual physical device receives corresponding control signals, ensuring operational accuracy through continuous verification

AI summary
Methods and devices for monitoring and maintaining a health state of an electrical device. The methods can include obtaining a first operation state of the electrical device; rendering a holographic image of the electrical device and a first health state of the electrical device indicated by the first operation state by using a mixed reality device; detecting an action of a first user by using the mixed reality device; in response to that an operation performed by the first user on the electrical device has been detected, performing the operation on an image model of the electrical device in the holographic image to obtain a second operation state after the electrical device is operated; and updating the first health state to a second health state indicated by the second operation state.
