Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for effective management solutions for mixed reality systems, as existing technologies lack comprehensive methods for managing fleets of MR devices and systems, particularly in enterprise applications, which hinders efficient deployment and maintenance.
Innovation Solution
The proposed solution involves a method and system for managing mixed reality systems, including user authentication, device module identification, and provisioning of management functions, which allows for profile creation, configuration, and application of settings to MR devices, enabling centralized control and management through a management software application.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If centralized management of mixed reality devices is implemented, then device control and maintenance efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The management system is segmented into distinct functional modules including authentication module, authorization module, profile module, and device management module. Each module handles specific management tasks independently, making the complex system more manageable and maintainable while enabling comprehensive device control.
Solution Approach 2:
The management software application is designed as a universal system that can manage multiple types of mixed reality devices through standardized interfaces. The system provides multi-functional capabilities including authentication, authorization, profile management, and device control through a single unified application, reducing the need for multiple specialized management tools.
2Adaptability or versatility
If comprehensive management functions are provided for MR devices, then administrative control capability is improved, but ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements preliminary actions by pre-defining management profiles that contain predetermined settings and configurations. Administrators can create and store profiles with desired device configurations, then quickly apply them to multiple devices without manually configuring each setting, thereby maintaining comprehensive control while simplifying operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses profile copying mechanisms where management configurations are replicated across multiple devices through template-based profiles. Instead of manually configuring each device individually, administrators can create a master profile and copy it to multiple devices, maintaining comprehensive management capability while significantly improving ease of operation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple management modules are provisioned to authorized users, then system functionality is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The management functionality is divided into separate, independently configurable modules including authentication module, authorization module, profile module, and device management module. Each module can be provisioned and configured independently based on specific needs, allowing the system to provide comprehensive functionality while keeping individual module complexity manageable through modular architecture.

AI summary
Disclosed are methods and systems for managing mixed-reality systems. These methods or systems authenticate and authorize a user into an authorized user at a management software application, identify one or more device management modules, and provision a set of management modules performing a set of respective functions to the authorized user. These methods or systems further receive, from at least one management module in the set based at least in part upon an instruction from the authorized user, and executing one or more management instructions, wherein execution of the one or more management instructions causes a state of a mixed reality device, and the mixed-reality device is operatively connected to the management software application.
