Solution Overview

Problem

Existing extended reality (XR) content presentation systems are limited by the need for compiled applications, which restrict content to what was included at compilation, and require networking logic to dynamically load content, making it difficult to interact with diverse content sources.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a transparent display, sensors, and a processor that can receive content from multiple sources via an application programming interface (API) server, allowing simultaneous presentation of content from different sources in an extended reality presentation, and enabling dynamic updates based on user interface instructions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If content is included in a compiled application, then the application can be executed, but the content is limited to what was included at compilation time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent flexibilityVSAvoidapplication configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables dynamic content loading and updating during application execution through the content update service, allowing the application to adapt to new content sources and formats without requiring recompilation or reconfiguration of the core application logic

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The content update service acts as an intermediary between diverse content sources and the XR application, providing a standardized interface that translates various content formats into the application's expected format, thereby enabling content flexibility without increasing application complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If dynamic content loading is implemented, then content versatility is improved, but the user interface and networking logic must be specifically configured for each content source

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent source compatibilityVSAvoidapplication configuration effort
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The content update service provides a universal interface that can handle multiple content sources and formats through a single standardized protocol, eliminating the need to create separate configuration logic for each content source while maintaining broad compatibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The content update service serves as a mediator between diverse content sources and the XR application, translating various content formats into a standardized internal representation, thereby enabling multi-source compatibility without requiring the application to be reconfigured for each source

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple content sources are integrated simultaneously, then content diversity is enhanced, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-source content presentationVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the content integration function into a separate content update service module, isolating the complexity of managing multiple content sources from the core XR application logic, thereby enabling multi-source integration while maintaining clear system architecture boundaries

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The content update service acts as a central intermediary layer that handles all content retrieval, translation, and synchronization operations from multiple sources, shielding the XR application from the complexity of direct multi-source integration while enabling diverse content presentation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
