Solution Overview

Problem

In Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, the mismatch between the optical parameters of virtual content and the real environment leads to a poor fusion of virtual and real elements, resulting in an unnatural display effect and diminished user experience.

Innovation Solution

Determining local virtual enhancement information based on the optical parameters of the virtual content to match or adjust the display environment, allowing for better fusion of virtual and real elements by controlling display devices to display the virtual content alongside the enhanced environment information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If virtual content is displayed without adjusting optical parameters, then display device complexity is reduced, but the fusion display effect deteriorates due to mismatch between virtual content and real environment optical parameters

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefusion display effectVSAvoiddisplay device complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes optical parameters (brightness, color temperature, saturation) of the virtual content to match the real environment parameters. This parameter adjustment ensures that the virtual content seamlessly integrates with the real environment, improving the fusion display effect without requiring complex hardware modifications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically detects the real environment's optical parameters and self-adjusts the virtual content's parameters to match. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for manual intervention or complex external control systems, achieving good fusion effect while keeping the device relatively simple

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Manufacturing precision

If optical parameters of virtual content are adjusted to match real environment, then fusion display effect is improved, but processing time and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoptical parameter matching precisionVSAvoidparameter adjustment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection of the real environment's optical parameters before displaying virtual content. By preparing the parameter matching in advance, the system avoids time-consuming adjustments during actual display, reducing the perceived processing time while maintaining high precision matching

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If only partial local virtual enhancement information is displayed, then user visual experience is improved, but information processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser visual experienceVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by selectively adjusting optical parameters only in specific regions where virtual content is displayed, rather than uniformly adjusting the entire display area. This localized approach enhances user visual experience in the virtual content regions while minimizing unnecessary processing in other areas, balancing experience improvement with processing efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
