Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If conventional remote assistance systems use one-time generated augmented reality solutions, then the system complexity is reduced, but the assistance effectiveness for novice users deteriorates due to lack of real-time guidance
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-captures holographic information of objects and prepares virtual simulations before the user needs assistance. This preliminary preparation allows the system to quickly deploy expert guidance without requiring complex real-time processing during the assistance interaction, thus maintaining low system complexity while ensuring effective real-time guidance.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates virtual copies of physical objects through holographic information and virtual simulations. These copies allow experts to interact with realistic representations of the user's environment, providing effective guidance without requiring the expert to be physically present or the system to handle complex real-time data from the actual objects.
2Loss of information
If the system requires users to repeatedly ask for assistance and input queries, then the user can understand the solution completely, but the time taken to provide final solution increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously receives brain signals from the user during task execution and provides real-time feedback through execution commands. This continuous feedback loop ensures the user receives timely guidance without needing to repeatedly interrupt the process to ask questions, maintaining complete understanding while minimizing solution delivery time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system maintains continuous monitoring and guidance throughout the task execution process by continuously receiving brain signals and providing execution commands. This continuous useful action eliminates the need for repeated interruptions and queries, ensuring complete understanding is achieved without increasing solution delivery time.
3Illumination intensity
If augmented reality solutions are provided to novice users, then visual assistance is improved, but the solutions are not useful for inexperienced users who cannot implement them properly
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces manual interaction mechanisms with brain-computer interface technology. Instead of requiring users to manually operate complex augmented reality systems or input queries, the system detects brain signals and automatically generates execution commands, making the system easy to operate for novice users while maintaining high-quality visual assistance through holographic displays.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables novice users to independently complete tasks by detecting their brain signals and automatically providing appropriate execution commands. The system serves itself by interpreting user intent directly from brain signals without requiring manual input or expert intervention, making augmented reality solutions accessible and easy to operate for inexperienced users.
4Reliability
If the system uses brain-computer interface to decode expert brain signals, then real-time remote assistance effectiveness is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential brain signal features needed for generating execution commands, rather than processing complete brain signal data. This extraction approach maintains high remote assistance effectiveness by capturing critical user intent information while reducing system complexity by eliminating the need to process and analyze unnecessary detailed brain signal data.
Data Source
AI summary
System and method of providing real-time remote assistance to a user is disclosed. In one embodiment, an assistance system, upon receiving a request from the user, captures holographic information of one or more objects associated with a task to be performed by the user. The assistance system further transmits the holographic information to an expert, wherein the expert is identified based on one or more skills required to perform the task. Further, assistance system receives one or more brain signals associated with the expert while the expert is interacting with a virtual simulation of the one or more objects to perform the task. Further the assistance system provides real-time remote assistance to the user by generating execution commands for the user in real-time based on a plurality of features associated with performing the task extracted from the one or more brain signals received from the expert.
