Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If virtual environments are used for human interaction beyond entertainment, then new utilization possibilities are created, but the system lacks adaptability to specific requirements of different fields of application

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different fields of applicationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adapts the virtual environment by adjusting displaying characteristics of objects based on user-related data and determined degrees of variance. The virtual meeting space transforms from a static to a dynamic environment that responds to participant characteristics, enabling adaptability across different application fields without requiring multiple fixed systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters of virtual objects (displaying characteristics) based on user-related data such as biometric characteristics and personal data. By modifying parameters like appearance, behavior, and interaction styles of virtual objects, the system adapts to different fields of application while maintaining a unified technical platform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If user-related data is used to personalize virtual objects, then interaction effectiveness is improved, but the degree of personalization must be controlled to avoid disruption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction effectivenessVSAvoiddisruption from excessive personalization
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system determines a degree of variance for user-related data and adjusts the displaying characteristics of virtual objects accordingly. By controlling the parameter of personalization intensity, the system maximizes interaction effectiveness while preventing disruption from excessive or inappropriate personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses user-related data including biometric characteristics to continuously adjust the virtual environment and object characteristics. This feedback mechanism allows the system to optimize interaction effectiveness in real-time while monitoring and controlling the degree of personalization to avoid negative effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If biometric characteristics are captured and used for adaptation, then virtual meetings can be optimized for any participant, but the system requires sophisticated data processing capabilities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoptimization for any participantVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system processes multiple types of user-related data (biometric characteristics, personal data, cultural background) through a unified data processing framework. This universal approach allows the system to handle diverse data types and adapt to any participant without requiring separate specialized processing systems for each data type.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms captured biometric characteristics into adjustable parameters for virtual object displaying characteristics. By converting raw biometric data into controllable parameters that influence virtual object appearance and behavior, the system achieves participant optimization while managing data processing complexity through parameter-based control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The invention relates to a communication system and a method for providing a virtual meeting of a first user (U1, U2, U3, U4) and a second user (U1, U2, U3, U4), comprising a first communication device (12, 14, 16, 18, 24, 26, 28, 32, 34) with a first display device (12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 24a, 26a, 28a, 32a) associated with the first user (U1, U2, U3, U4), and a second communication device (12, 14, 16, 18, 24, 26, 28, 32, 34) with a second display device (12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 24a, 26a, 28a, 32a) associated with the second user (U1, U2, U3, U4). Moreover a virtual meeting space (22) is displayed on the second display device (12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 24a, 26a, 28a, 32a), user related data (B1, B2, B3, D1, D2, D3) related to the first user (U1, U2, U3, 114) are provided and a first displaying characteristic (B1′, B2′, B3′) of a first object (U1′, U2′, U3′, U4′, 30) is determined in dependency of the provided user related data (B1, B2, B3, D1, D2, D3) according to a set degree of variance (R1, R2, R3) of the user related data (B1, B2, B3, D1, D2, D3). Further the first object (U1′, U2′, U3′, U4′, 30) is displayed with the determined first displaying characteristic (B1′, B2′, B3′) according to the set degree of variance (R1, R2, R3) within the virtual meeting space (22) displayed on the second display device (12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 24a, 26a, 28a, 32a) to the second user (U1, U2, U3, U4).
