Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods struggle with efficiently adjusting object sizes in virtual spaces to ensure appropriate display of multiple objects without excessive processing load, particularly when transitioning from real to virtual environments.

Innovation Solution

A data acquisition apparatus and method that perform conversions on object data based on predefined references to adjust sizes according to different spaces, allowing for efficient size adjustments of objects in virtual environments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If the display size of each object is individually set in the virtual space, then the display appropriateness of each object is improved, but the time and effort required for adjustment increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay size accuracyVSAvoidadjustment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining size relationships between objects in the real space before virtual space conversion. The system automatically determines the sizes of multiple objects in the virtual space based on their predetermined size relationships in the real space, eliminating the need for manual individual adjustment of each object's display size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements universality by using a single reference object's size information to determine the sizes of multiple other objects in the virtual space. This multi-functional approach allows one reference measurement to serve as the basis for scaling multiple objects simultaneously, reducing the overall adjustment process to a single operation.

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

2Reliability

If the same size ratio as in real space is maintained in virtual space, then the realism of the virtual environment is improved, but the visibility and display appropriateness of all objects deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproverealismVSAvoiddisplay appropriateness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by allowing different size conversion approaches for different objects based on their relationship to the reference object. Objects are categorized into those with predetermined size relationships (converted using real-space ratios) and those without (converted using virtual-space adjustments), enabling localized optimization of display appropriateness while maintaining overall realism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Manufacturing precision

If manual adjustment of each object's size is performed, then the display appropriateness is improved, but the operational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay size accuracyVSAvoidadjustment operation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically determine appropriate display sizes for multiple objects based on predetermined size relationships and a single reference object. The automatic determination process eliminates the need for manual intervention in adjusting each object's size, allowing the system to serve itself in optimizing the virtual space layout.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Adaptability or versatility

If conversion processing is performed on object data to adjust sizes for different spaces, then the adaptability to different spaces is improved, but the processing load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespace adaptabilityVSAvoidprocessing load
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by performing size conversion processing only on objects that require adaptation to the virtual space, rather than uniformly processing all objects. By selectively applying conversion based on whether objects have predetermined size relationships, the system reduces unnecessary processing operations and lowers the overall processing load.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
