A mobile terminal equipped with a camera, display, and processor that uses AI and AR to recognize articles within the image capture range, output manipulation method information, and monitor operation states, allowing for sequential manipulation guidance and interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If image capture and basic recognition functions are implemented, then the ability to identify objects is improved, but the ability to accurately recognize and interact with specific articles is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvearticle recognition accuracyVSAvoidinteraction capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides feedback by displaying manipulation method information and instruction information through AR overlay on the captured image. The processor continuously monitors operation state information and adjusts the displayed manipulation guidance accordingly, creating a closed-loop feedback system that improves recognition accuracy and interaction capability simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary AR display layer that mediates between the captured image and the user interaction. This intermediary layer provides manipulation method information and instruction information about the recognized article, enabling accurate recognition and interaction without requiring direct contact between the camera and the article control system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If AR-based manipulation guidance is provided, then user interaction capability is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanipulation guidanceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The processor performs multiple functions using the same hardware components: it captures images, recognizes articles, obtains operation state information, generates manipulation method information, and displays AR overlay. This multi-functionality approach improves ease of operation without proportionally increasing device complexity, as existing components are utilized for multiple purposes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If sequential manipulation guidance is provided based on operation state, then user convenience is improved, but information processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidinformation processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by providing manipulation method information in advance through AR display before the user actually manipulates the article. The instruction information and manipulation guidance are prepared and displayed based on predicted operation states, reducing the information processing load during actual manipulation while improving user convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
