Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies mechanical vibration by vibrating physical objects in the environment to induce detectable movements. Sensors capture these vibrations to identify object boundaries, locations, and relationships. The vibration causes objects to move in characteristic patterns that reveal their boundaries and spatial relationships, enabling precise detection without requiring extensive image processing or compression.
