Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If devices in real space are controlled based on character positions in virtual space, then user engagement and interaction are enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that manages the complex mapping relationships between virtual character positions and real-world devices. The server acts as a mediator that receives position information from the virtual space, processes it according to predetermined rules, and generates appropriate control signals for real-world devices, thereby isolating the complexity from the client devices and users.
Solution Approach 2:
The system divides the control functionality into separate modules: position detection in virtual space, coordinate transformation, device control signal generation, and actual device actuation. This segmentation allows each component to handle specific aspects of the虚实 mapping independently, making the overall system more manageable and maintainable despite its inherent complexity.
2Speed
If real-time control of devices is implemented based on virtual space positions, then interaction responsiveness is improved, but processing requirements and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic updates of character position information from the virtual space rather than continuous real-time monitoring. The server receives position data at predetermined intervals, processes these updates, and generates control signals accordingly. This periodic approach maintains adequate responsiveness while significantly reducing processing requirements and energy consumption compared to continuous real-time processing.
