Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If existing simulation systems are used to perform detailed simulations of real-world systems, then simulation accuracy and depth are improved, but execution time increases significantly, making them unsuitable for real-time applications
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs comprehensive simulations in advance during the design phase to generate lookup tables and pre-computed responses. This preliminary action allows the system to quickly query and retrieve results during real-time operation without performing complex simulations at the moment of need, thus resolving the contradiction between simulation accuracy and execution time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a virtual copy or digital twin of the real-world system that replicates its behavior through pre-computed models. This copy allows the system to answer queries about system behavior instantly by retrieving pre-simulated data rather than performing real-time simulations, maintaining accuracy while dramatically reducing execution time.
2Loss of information
If comprehensive simulations are performed to understand complex system behaviors, then system insight and decision-making quality are improved, but time consumption increases, preventing real-time application
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs comprehensive simulations and extracts key insights during the design phase, storing them in structured formats. During real-time operation, the system queries these pre-computed insights to provide immediate answers about system behavior, maintaining high decision-making quality while achieving real-time responsiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts essential information and key insights from comprehensive simulations, separating them from the computationally intensive simulation process itself. This extraction allows the system to provide rich system insights through quick lookups of pre-processed data, decoupling information quality from computation time.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide an augmented reality by defining a model representing a real-world system. After defining the model, a plurality of model simulations are performed using the defined model which produce predicted field data that is stored in memory. In turn, data from one or more sensors in the real-world system is received and the defined model is calibrated using the received field data relative to the stored predicted field data. Then, an augmented reality of the real-world system is provided using the calibrated model.
