Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional projection systems hinder efficient work performance due to difficulties in simultaneously projecting clear and recognizable images onto multiple work spots, leading to reduced efficiency and increased construction time for workers.

Innovation Solution

A projection system that adjusts the sequence and quantity of projected drawings, as well as projection settings, using a combination of a projection device, data processing device, and terminal device to optimize image projection on multiple work spots, ensuring clarity and reducing worker confusion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple drawings are projected simultaneously onto multiple work spots, then work efficiency should improve, but image clarity and recognizability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvework efficiencyVSAvoidimage clarity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The projection system divides the work site into multiple work spots and projects drawings sequentially rather than simultaneously. The determination unit segments the projection task by identifying which work spot should receive the projection next, ensuring clear images at each location while maintaining overall work efficiency through systematic progression.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The projection system dynamically adjusts the projection location and sequence based on real-time conditions. The determination unit continuously evaluates work spot status and modifies the projection plan accordingly, allowing the system to optimize between image clarity and work efficiency by adapting to changing conditions on the construction site.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Loss of time

If drawings are projected onto all work spots at once, then construction time should be reduced, but worker confusion and burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconstruction timeVSAvoidworker burden
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The projection system performs preliminary actions by projecting drawings in a predetermined sequence onto work spots before workers need them. The determination unit plans the projection sequence in advance, ensuring that each work spot receives its drawing at the optimal time, reducing both construction time and worker confusion through proactive, organized delivery of information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Area of stationary object

If the projection system covers all work spots, then comprehensive coverage is achieved, but image quality and recognizability at each spot decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprojection coverage areaVSAvoidimage recognizability
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the projection coverage by focusing on one work spot at a time rather than attempting to cover all work spots simultaneously. The determination unit divides the overall coverage area into discrete segments (individual work spots) and addresses them sequentially, ensuring high image quality and recognizability at each location while ultimately achieving comprehensive coverage of the entire work site.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
