Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If two-dimensional image data is used to recreate objects in augmented or mixed reality environments, then the implementation is simple and device requirements are low, but the depth data is insufficient resulting in distorted visual representations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines image data from image sensors with depth measurements from radio frequency signals to create enhanced three-dimensional representations. The system merges visual data with RF-derived spatial information, allowing accurate depth perception while using existing camera infrastructure alongside RF transmitters and receivers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces radio frequency signals as an intermediary to obtain depth information. The RF signals act as a mediator between the imaging system and the environment, providing depth measurements that complement visual data without requiring complex stereoscopic camera setups or other direct depth-sensing hardware.
2Measurement precision
If radio frequency signals are used to determine depth measurements, then depth data accuracy is improved, but the device complexity and number of components increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses radio frequency transmitters and receivers that serve multiple functions: they can transmit RF signals for depth measurement, communicate wireless data, and potentially perform other communication tasks. This multi-functionality reduces the need for dedicated depth-sensing hardware, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.
3Measurement precision
If multiple radio frequency transmitters and receivers are used to improve depth measurement, then the depth data quality is enhanced, but the loss of time for signal transmission and reception increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs periodic transmission of radio frequency signals to gather depth information. By using periodic pulses rather than continuous signals, the system can measure depth at multiple time points and aggregate data from multiple transmitters and receivers efficiently, reducing overall time loss through structured intermittent measurement cycles.

AI summary
The technology disclosed herein relates to generating a three-dimensional virtual entity using augmented reality, mixed reality, extended reality, another reality type, or one or more combinations thereof. The virtual entity is generated using two-dimensional image data and a depth measurement of the entity relative to the positioning of the entity within an image or video. The depth measurement is determined based on transmitting one or more radio frequencies toward the entity via one or more radio frequency transmitters based on the entity being identified using the image data. Further, the depth measurement is determined based on one or more radio frequency receivers receiving radio frequency data based on the one or more radio frequencies reflecting or refracting from the entity. The determined depth measurement is transmitted over a wireless telecommunications network for generating the three-dimensional entity. The radio frequency data may be transmitted over the wireless telecommunications network.
