Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current shooting simulation systems using mobile phones for laser tag games face errors in determining hits or misses due to GPS positional errors and directional device inaccuracies, which persist and vary with different orientations, affecting accurate targeting.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If GPS and directional devices are used in mobile phones for shooting simulation, then the system enables basic targeting functionality, but measurement precision deteriorates due to GPS errors and directional orientation errors
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by collecting historical shooting data (hits and misses) along with corresponding GPS positions and directional orientations. The processor analyzes this feedback data to identify patterns and calculate correction factors that compensate for systematic errors in GPS and directional measurements, thereby improving hit or miss determination accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters by dynamically adjusting error correction values based on historical data analysis. The processor modifies GPS position coordinates and directional orientation angles by applying calculated correction factors, transforming raw inaccurate measurements into corrected parameters that improve targeting precision
2Measurement precision
If error correction is applied to all shooters uniformly, then measurement precision improves for accurate shooters, but reliability deteriorates because inaccurate shooters receive inappropriate corrections
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by providing customized error correction for each individual shooter based on their specific historical performance data. The processor analyzes each shooter's unique pattern of hits and misses to determine personal correction factors, ensuring that accurate shooters receive appropriate corrections while inaccurate shooters receive adjustments tailored to their skill level
3Measurement precision
If historical data is collected and analyzed for error correction, then measurement precision improves, but device complexity increases due to data gathering and processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves universality by utilizing the multi-functionality of the mobile phone to perform both shooting simulation gameplay and historical data collection. The same GPS and directional devices used for basic targeting also serve as data gathering instruments, while the phone's processor handles both game logic and error correction calculations, reducing the need for separate dedicated components

AI summary
An error correction system for a shooting simulation system. The error correction system includes a mechanism for gathering and storing historical data of a communication device utilized in a shooting simulation system. The historical data includes hit and miss results of the communication device in a targeting of a target over a predetermined period of time. The system also includes a processor for analyzing the historical data of the communication device to determine errors caused by the communication device. The processor determines an error correction to correct the errors caused by the communication device. The processor then implements the error correction to determine a hit or miss of a targeting of a target. The error correction system may also utilize historical data from shots taken by a shooter and motion of the communication device being aimed immediately prior to targeting a target to determine an appropriate error correction.
