Remote Support Guidance Image for Imaging Position Precision
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote support systems lack precision in guiding users to the required imaging position and orientation, leading to inaccuracies in imaging direction instructions.
Innovation Solution
A remote support system comprising a terminal device and a remote device, where the terminal device transmits image information and three-dimensional position data to the remote device, which derives and transmits display information for a guidance image to be displayed on the terminal device, indicating the required imaging position and orientation, and adjusts its display state based on the user's actual imaging position and orientation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If remote support systems provide imaging direction instructions without precise guidance, then the system complexity is reduced, but the imaging precision and accuracy deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a guidance image as an intermediary visual element that mediates between the remote support system and the user. This guidance image, displayed on the terminal device screen, provides intuitive directional information (arrows, markers) to guide users to correct imaging positions and orientations, thereby achieving precise imaging guidance without requiring complex system architecture or multiple additional devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the physical space through the guidance image displayed on the screen. This graphical representation copies essential spatial information (position markers, directional arrows, boundary indicators) that guides users without requiring them to physically explore or measure the environment, thus achieving precise guidance while maintaining system simplicity.
2Loss of information
If the system provides detailed guidance images with position and orientation information, then the guidance accuracy improves, but the information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The guidance image applies local quality by providing different types of information at different locations within the display area. Directional arrows are positioned to indicate movement direction, markers are placed at target positions, and boundary indicators are shown at edges. Each local region of the guidance image serves a specific guidance function, delivering comprehensive information without requiring uniform complex processing across the entire system.
3Ease of operation
If the terminal device processes and displays comprehensive display information, then the user understanding of imaging position improves, but the terminal device processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by providing only the essential guidance information needed for imaging tasks through the guidance image. Rather than processing and displaying all possible environmental data, the system selectively presents critical elements (directional arrows, position markers, boundary indicators) that are sufficient for users to understand imaging position and orientation, thereby reducing terminal device processing load and energy consumption while maintaining ease of operation.
