Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video communication technologies fail to provide realistic and immersive experiences due to the inability to share dynamic environmental factors such as location, weather, and time in real-time across connected electronic devices.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device equipped with a communication module, camera module, and processor that receives images and location information from connected devices, identifies the location, and generates spatial images to synchronize environmental factors, allowing for the transmission of captured images and spatial images to create a shared, immersive experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If video communication is performed using conventional image transmission, then communication functionality is provided, but realistic and immersive experiences cannot be provided due to lack of environmental factor sharing
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by capturing environmental information (location, weather, time) in advance and generating spatial images before the video communication occurs. This allows the environmental context to be prepared and synchronized ahead of time, enabling realistic experiences without adding complexity to the real-time communication flow.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates copies of the remote environment by generating spatial images that replicate the location, weather conditions, and time context of the remote device. These copied environmental representations are then transmitted to provide immersive experiences, effectively losing no environmental information while enhancing realism.
2Adaptability or versatility
If spatial images with environmental factors are generated and transmitted, then immersive experiences are provided, but device complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the complex task of creating immersive experiences by dividing it into separate components: location identification, weather information acquisition, time synchronization, and spatial image generation. Each component is handled independently, reducing processing complexity while maintaining the ability to provide comprehensive immersive experiences.
Solution Approach 2:
The processor is designed with multi-functionality to handle various environmental factor processing tasks including location identification, weather data integration, and spatial image generation within a single device architecture. This universal approach reduces overall device complexity compared to having separate specialized systems for each function.
3Loss of information
If location information and environmental data are received and processed, then environmental synchronization is achieved, but communication data volume and bandwidth requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of transmitting raw environmental data (location coordinates, weather parameters, time stamps), the system creates compressed spatial image copies that encapsulate all environmental information in a visual format. This copying approach achieves complete environmental synchronization while significantly reducing data volume compared to transmitting all raw environmental parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transforms environmental parameters (location, weather, time) into a different representation format (spatial images) that conveys the same information more efficiently. This parameter change from structured data to visual representation reduces bandwidth requirements while maintaining complete environmental synchronization.
