Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple MR devices are connected for scenario reconstruction, then the coverage and completeness of the reconstructed scenario is improved, but calibration errors between sensors of different devices cause large errors in the reconstructed scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of scenario reconstructionVSAvoidsensor calibration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a terminal device as an intermediary that collects point cloud data from multiple MR devices, performs coordinate system transformation and scaling operations, and generates a unified scenario model. This intermediary processing resolves the calibration errors between devices by centralizing the alignment operations in a dedicated processing unit that can apply transformation matrices and scaling factors to harmonize data from multiple sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the coordinate system parameters of point cloud data from different devices through mathematical transformation matrices. By changing the coordinate system parameters (position, orientation, scale) of each device's point cloud data, the system aligns all data to a unified coordinate system, thereby resolving the calibration errors and enabling accurate multi-device scenario reconstruction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If sensor calibration is performed for each MR device, then individual device accuracy is maintained, but the inconsistency between devices leads to poor user experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensor measurement accuracyVSAvoidconsistency across devices
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges point cloud data from multiple MR devices into a unified scenario model by collecting data from all devices, transforming their coordinate systems to a common reference frame, and integrating them into a single consistent representation. This merging process ensures that while each device maintains its own measurement accuracy, the combined output achieves consistency across all devices through unified coordinate transformation and scaling operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Manufacturing precision

If point cloud alignment and scaling operations are performed, then scenario reconstruction accuracy is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs coordinate system transformation and scaling operations as preliminary steps before final scenario reconstruction. By pre-aligning the point cloud data from multiple devices and establishing the correct scaling relationships in advance, the system avoids costly real-time computations during rendering and presentation, thereby reducing overall processing time while maintaining high reconstruction precision.
