Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing mobile devices are used without augmented reality simulation capability, then device simplicity is maintained, but the ability to realistically simulate image device installation is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile device is enhanced with multi-functional capabilities including camera module for capturing real space, augmented reality module for generating and superimposing virtual images, and user interface for interaction. This allows a single device to perform both traditional mobile functions and advanced AR simulation, resolving the contradiction between maintaining device simplicity and achieving reliable installation simulation
2Measurement precision
If virtual images of actual size are superimposed on real space, then installation simulation accuracy is improved, but the complexity of processing and displaying virtual-real combined images increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical measurement and visualization methods with augmented reality technology. The AR module uses camera capture, virtual image generation, and superimposition techniques to achieve precise full-size virtual image display on real space, eliminating the need for physical prototypes or complex manual measurements while maintaining high accuracy
3Adaptability or versatility
If augmented reality module and camera module are added to mobile device, then simulation capability is improved, but device structure complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the camera module, augmented reality module, and user interface into an integrated mobile device system. The camera captures real space images, the AR module generates and superimposes virtual images, and the user interface coordinates user interactions - all functions are combined in a unified device architecture that enhances adaptability while managing structural complexity

AI summary
A mobile device includes a display, a camera to capture an image of a space in which an image device can be installed, a user interface, and a controller. The controller can identify a plane from the image captured by the camera, control the display so as to display a grid on a virtual plane corresponding to the plane, adjust the grid based on an input of a user received via the user interface, and control the display so as to display, on the grid, the virtual image of the image device.
