Wearable Smart Eye-Glasses Multi-Workspace Virtual Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wearable smart eye-glasses can only generate user interfaces corresponding to a single digital workspace, limiting productivity and user experience.
Innovation Solution
A processing system associated with the smart eye-glasses sends digital data to display multiple digital workspaces simultaneously, allowing users to interact with them using eye gaze, field of view, gestures, or voice commands, and enables the instantiation of software programs within selected workspaces, with features like dynamic workspace reorientation and suspension to optimize resource usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple digital workspaces are displayed simultaneously, then productivity and user experience are enhanced, but device complexity and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the digital workspace into multiple independent virtual workspaces that can be displayed simultaneously. Each workspace is a separate functional unit that can be independently managed, allowing users to perform multiple tasks in parallel without interfering with each other, thereby enhancing productivity while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular organization
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a virtual dimension for workspace organization by displaying multiple digital workspaces in a layered or spatial arrangement within the augmented reality environment. This dimensional approach allows simultaneous access to multiple workspaces without physically expanding the device, managing complexity through virtual rather than physical multiplication
2Productivity
If multiple digital workspaces are displayed simultaneously, then user experience is enhanced, but resource usage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically manages multiple digital workspaces by activating, suspending, or deactivating workspaces based on user interaction and current task requirements. This dynamic approach allows the system to maintain multiple workspaces in memory but only fully render and process those currently in use, reducing overall resource consumption while preserving the capability to switch between workspaces seamlessly
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a suspend/resume mechanism for digital workspaces where inactive workspaces are suspended (partially discarded from active processing) and can be recovered when needed. This allows the system to free up resources from unused workspaces while maintaining their state for future recovery, balancing user experience enhancement with resource conservation

AI summary
An aspect of the present disclosure is directed to techniques performed by a processing system associated with a wearable smart eye-glass. In an embodiment, a first digital data representing multiple digital workspaces is sent from the processing system to the smart eye-glass to cause display of the multiple digital workspaces in a same duration as part of virtual display interface. Upon receiving selection of a first digital workspace, the user is enabled to interact with the first digital workspace. According to another aspect, a second digital data representing one or more objects is sent to the smart eye-glass to cause display of the one or more objects in the first digital workspace. Upon receiving a selection of a first object, a first software program corresponding to the selected first object is instantiated. The instantiating includes creating a first window corresponding to the first software program in the first digital workspace.
